Friends of mine seems to have had it, but hasn't been tested. He's been feeling like a wreck for about a week.

I suspect it'll still be 1080p, but with 25% less bitrate and more compression.

Why do you have MDF under the carpet? MDF is a poor choice for flooring as it is more likely to be affected by moisture or spills than OSB or ply. Sounds like you have a house where someone has been a cheapskate with either the number of floor bearers or the thickness of the 'MDF'. You don't need a ...

why people buy Teslas What nonsense. Haters hating on Tesla and Musk are hilarious. Hilarious because the more he makes them look like idiots and haters, the more they go after him and it just goes around in vicious circles. Electric cars are patently obviously the future and Tesla is light years a...

I think the only discrimination is against the poor and stupid. It's not fair on poorer people as it's a more significant chunk of their income. It's not fair on stupid people, as only an idiot would manage to incriminate themselves and end up in court.

Well played France. And I surely can't be the only englishman to hope that Youngs is never on the field again.

And Griffiths is leaving already.

As a Bath fan, good as he was in the past, I'm not upset by his leaving.
He's been a bit one dimensional at Bath. Worked hard, but that's about it. Can't help but think he was costing far more than he was worth.

All the report makes me think, along with Saracens not wanting more audits, is that these breaches are probably the tip of the iceberg.

The gulf of quality between the Saracens squad and the other PRL teams doesn't seem narrow enough to be explained by the breaches they've been penalised for.

A good comment on the Guardian in today's Scaarens match report: great comment from the salarycens coach at half time (on bt sport): “it’s not bad when you have to take off Billy Vunipola but can bring on Will Skelton is it?” Is there a nobel prize for cognitive dissonance? Was that Alex Sanderson....

The Premiership is palpably diminished for next season. Some of us have seen some club rugby: Cardiff and Newport, Bath and Leicester and Wasps, Leinster and Munster, Toulouse, Brive and Stade Francais in their greatest years. None can touch Saracens. In this era, they have been the greatest club t...

Who likes a cheat? It's been plain for years that they've been cheating As a Bath fan, I'm fairly sure we got our house in order after the previous salary cap shenanigans. We've had to offload players to keep within the cap, as have quite a few teams. Those cheating cnuts, while already over the cap...

Even if Sarries were under the cap tomorrow then they'd have still played most of the first half of this season breaking the rules. No wonder the other clubs want them gone. The only thing I've ever liked about Sarries is watching them lose, which didn't happen nearly enough due to the blatant cheat...

From the Daily Mail article: "The news circulated on the day that retired chairman Nigel Wray cut all formal ties with Saracens and handed his shares to his children."

Wow. Maybe he finally has some shame and has figured out that he managed to ruin the club he was trying to build.

The only people deserving of sympathy are any players and staff genuinely unaware of the cheating. Can't be many of them, as everyone else with eyeballs and a brain could see that they were taking the piss. A 35 point deduction was never a harsh enough penalty for cheating their way to multiple cham...

Off to Ashton Gate for the first time on Friday - any advice on parking close by (as I'll have whinging kids in tow) and how early I'd need to get there much appreciated. Happy Christmas ya filthy animals. Never parked there myself, but when the football is on there are cars clogging up the roads f...

If true then I'd expect Hamilton would stay at Merc. Which would leave Verstappen stuck at Red Bull.

I fail to see how she is knocking down barriers. No barriers exist. There's women's qualifying for the main darts championships and tour, the only thing holding women back has been that they just haven't been as good as the men. There isn't a separate men only event AFAIK, and women weren't excluded...

Lennox ranking for heavyweights 1. Wilder 2. Fury 3. Joshua What do you think of that girls? Maybe. But how is Wilder above Fury when everyone watched Wilder get beaten by Fury if not for the bent judging decisions? I'm not convinced it's fair to try and rate them before they've faced each other.

I've been shopping for older model Mercedes cars for weekend drives and a lot of A series models come up in my searches. Not interested in that class but they all seem to have an issue with their gearbox. Seems they really dropped the ball with that range. Depending which ones you're looking at the...

I just bought an LG B9 55 inch OLED. Much better contrast than anything other than another OLED. If you want it future proof then make sure it supports all the HDR formats: HDR 10, HDR 10+, Dolby vision, and for broadcast you'll want HLG (hybrid log gamma) Just be careful with the sky Q .

As a long time Bath fan, I have turned off already. Maybe from the whole season.

Earlier this year a bloke at work in his mid 50's went home with a headache on a Thursday. Came in on Monday to the news he'd died of a brain tumour on the Saturday.

So, are sarries just going to be allowed to keep breaking the salary cap this season then? I notice they haven't shed any of their players. If that's the case can we expect another fine and points deduction next year? In the unlikely event you hadn’t heard, they have agreed to a mid-season audit. N...

Sounds like battery isn't in great health, but might not need replacement. If you have a decent battery charger you should try putting it on an ovenright charge and then see how you go. Depends if you care more about saving a few quid or breaking down. In the UK even a big battery can be had online ...

I do like a good curry. But I'm not voting for AWJ. Not even the best rugby personality this year. I think Marler deserves it for top banter.

I wasn't aware of any racial connotation to the word uppity. If anything, I'd expect more association with it historically being used to describe women in a demeaning way.

I think the problem for Brits is that Ireland and the UK are pretty similar. So when you go for a weekend to Dublin its not much different than going to Manchester or Leeds for example.

I'm guessing the reason that the accused want to distance themselves from the allegations is that in this instance the accusation is about a 17 year old. But the association with Epstein brings with it all sorts of possibilities of far worse. Epstein was accused of trafficking much younger girls. An...
