Their beers are very much style over substance and always have been. Another company that seems to think the alcohol content is more important than the taste of the brew Quite. I like a decent session IPA for the rugby but many of the craft beers are knocking on the door of 6% which will just fudge...

Nice victory for Valverde. I don't know how many 41 years old have won a World Tour stage but the man has an amazing career. Geoghegan Hart has better legs than Thomas, wonder what it will look like with the long climbs during the two closing days of the race. But he could challenge Thomas.... TGH ...

Is ExpressVPN blocked there? It's usually good to use I have Express VPN on my current laptop but all VPN sites are blocked here. They don't have a blacklist of sites which are blocked they have a whitelist of sites that are allowed and I think its only about 1000, hence the importance of the VPN, ...

One option. Nearly all videoconferencing software has a file transfer option built in.

Get somebody to download the relevant VPN software, videoconference with them and download it using the file transfer features.

Uk #metoo starting to blow-up with Noel Clarke accusing John Barrowman and about 20 women accusing Noel Clarke. Clarke was given a special award by the BAFTAs recently, but apparently they knew of the allegations in some shock of UK institutions covering-up or ignoring sexual misconduct allegations...

Liebherr - will last a lifetime. This. End of thread. Thirded. Zanussi/Electrolux are also good, but Liebherr fridges are tanks. Liebherr and Miele are made in the same factory and share a lot of components. They may be solid but their reliability is nothing special and they are very expensive to r...

When I replaced my Miele a few years ago after it failed catastrophically for the 2nd time, I asked the repair guy what he would recommend as a replacement. He said they were all shit these days and not to spend too much.

I ended up getting a Bosch but I don't think it matters that much.

Did you drive through them on your odyssey some years ago ?

Over Feb/Mar the intention is to bump the minimum spin up to 45', the intermediate to 1'15" and the long one to 1'45". Feeling all the better for it.

Just saw reports that Ineos are possibly using fluid ducting towards leading edge of their foils to reduce drag, based on F1 technology. Massively reduces drag after foiling achieved.

Gamestop is a dying business which is why the hedge funds shorted it in the first place.

If the first jab works for 3 months, we can vaccinate more with 1st shipment. Might not be as bad as initially feared IIRC they had figures for the AZ vaccine from the first trial saying the longer you waited for the 2nd jab, the more effective it was which is a large part of why the decision to ja...

Found this interesting: Americans are much less likely to intend to vaccinate when vaccine candidates are developed outside the U.S. Intention to vaccinate dropped by 21% for a vaccine developed in China, 18% for one developed in Russia, and 6% in the U.K. That's the Oxford vaccine out the window f...

Lockdowns reduce the spread. Not among frontline and essential workers. Plus you can't lock down entire nations for the best part of a year while vaccines are rolled out. I'm not saying I agree with it but it's an interesting subject. Targeting superspreaders is by far the quickest way out of this....

NZ and Oz were churning out very decent low budget films in the 80's. The Quiet Earth was a smasher and my Oz favourite was Ghosts of the Civil Dead.
