Quote from: dom on January 06, 2024, 08:18:44 AMI've seen the first 3 episodes of Mr Bates vs the Post Office.  I was first made aware of the issue when radio 4 covered it here...

One of the local post mistresses in my town was accused of swindling £74k, heads have to roll for this but I guess the guilty are playing for time.

I had a freebie of one of these last year and agree it was excellent, too expensive to subscribe though.

I also saw a TikTok or similar showing a person who premixed his negronis into a kilner type jar and then kept them in the fridge (simple 33.3% ratio of mix). Then he poured them as required during the day/week/month.

Saltburn - Amazon prime. Rather f@cked up but quite enjoyable in a weird type of way.

Watched the series on Paramount last night. An enjoyable watch trawling round rich bass players houses.

My business travel these days seems to consist of filling my backpack with various types of cables, adaptors, chargers, headphones,laptop, iPad and a powerbank. Even then I've been known to ask at a Hotel if they have a certain type of adaptor/cable.

An additional annoyance and very first world is hotels that don't have a usb or plug socket by the bed.
