that speaks volumes, the only time starmer gets praise is as a joke :)

Odd, I thought the joke was referring to Thatcher as great :shrug:

The joke was literally both those I chose . Not detecting political bias getting in the way of a sense of humour am I ? Both you and Papa and just in case you did not know this is also a joke haha

Did my best to save the planet today.

Planted Horse Chestnut and Oak tree saplings.

Probably too little too late, but will hopefully piss the neighbours off in 100 years time :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

So my BT BB went down and fix likely Wednesday .
I bought a 5GHZ Router a while ago and had a 3 sim in it but the speeds were poor. When the net went down I was considering options and knew I had a Lebara Sim spare with no plan attached so I threw a 25 quid unlimited data plan at the sim and put it in the router . Lebara do cheap deals if I was waiting for a sim I would have had 50% for 3 months so unlimited for £12.50 and seeing as you do not use the number there is no reason not to set up a new sim every 2.5 months and get unlimited data for very cheap.
Now the maddest part see the screen shot below. 3 times the download and 7 times the upload ( of FTTC) on this 5G sim that can be swapped every 2.5 months to ensure uninterrupted connection for current price of £37.50 which works out at £15 per month
Yes you have to create a new account to get the deal but golly it is cheap. I will be switching the the deal sim next month and keep it going as a cheap backup for future or maybe even as my main driver

Well you learn something new everyday. I never knew those type routers existed or such a way round getting broadband that way. Good info and good price.

Sadly where I live I can't even get 1-2 bars on 3g. My phone is stuck on wifi calling 90% of the time.

Re my previous post on my 5G router and sim. Well it is now all set up with mesh system which now runs my whole smart home through that so can switch from any provider without having to do anything now except plug it all in

Not bad though my smart home is relatively extensive 5 cameras 4 echo devices nearly all my lights are smart blubs and a fair few plugs so that is a lot of connected devices . Mesh systems are worth it imo

Just had a nice letter from the NHS Business services - my NHS pension is rising by 3.8%, it's not very big but it all helps. After tax it will pay for a couple of takeaways.
