    Not specifically computer I know but does anybody know anything about Google Chromecast? I know its a streaming device but are there any fees? Ultimately I am thinking of stopping TV licence so ultimately the TV will go. Presumably it will still work on a monitor.

    Or just use your TV to watch DVDs, no license required for that, gone are the days when a license was needed just to OWN a TV set, not anymore. Retailers have no legal obligation to request name & address details from TV purchasers either.

  2. Got sick & tired of Virgin Media price hikes so decided to give 5G broadand a go.

    Got a fortnight to keep or return but so far very impressed.

    VM M200 with free weekend phone calls, £60+per month unlimited data.

    Three 5G unlimited download no landline, £21 per month.

    So far so good.

    4G for £14 per month.

    No installation, just plug in & go.

  3. Sounds like I touched s nerve.

    When was the BBC Tory biased.

    Far too woke in replacing white faces with black faces.

    I wouldn't mind if the best candidate got the job but they didn't.

    The BBC woke bias is obvious to a blind man.

    I would love to see how long the BBC survive standing on their own two feet.

    Wokeism is destroying this country.

  4. Your example Brew is the very reason I don't watch TV, my TV is used for watching DVDs only.

    You are quite right about obscene salaries & the endless TV ads , woke or otherwise.

    My license fee here is £7.50 rr year & I have serious reservations about paying that, only reason o do is that Mrs C may want to watch something on the box and she puts it

  5. Your forecast is far more preferable than the absolute woke nonsense churned out by the BBC at present. The BBC have had it too good for too long. When they have to compete in the real world they will soon find out how good they think they are

  6. PAP-PAP an elderly man who regularly caught a bus on Hyson Green who suffered terribly with Tourettse Syndrome.

    Without warning on the bus he would suddenly shout at the top of his voice PAP PAP PAP PAP.  When wasn't shouting he spoke beautifully.

    Life can & is cruel sometimes.

  7. Living & driving buses in Bulwell I got to know John very well.

    A decorated WW2 bomber pilot who had time for everyone.

    Loved to see him standing on Bulwell market around local election time.

    Bulwell is a much poorer place without him.

     

    Then there was Boris the Bulwell tramp, well documented on here.
