good news - car booked in to be fixed with a place that is honets/knows what they're talking about. bad news - not until next wed ...
ok I think we have some bus/wfh days coming up.
No idea why I associate diesel=reliable. In modern turbo/high pressure details IMO this is far from the case...
it was nice of my cold to pretty much disappear for NYE/NYD but it's back again. Please go away.
@McLarenFan_Jamm well also french-owned - Nissan XTrail 2.2 dCi. Within 5 years intercooler/clutch had gone. now looking at poss fuel pump
@McLarenFan_Jamm My wife vows to never have a nissan again. Im more of the never a complex diesel again (unless leased/company)
@McLarenFan_Jamm my lowly ford focus petrol 2l on the other hand has been a jem. great to drive even after 10yrs,pretty much no problems
@McLarenFan_Jamm think one O2 sensor, one foglight (bracket snapped), oh and a ESP sensr (longitudinal). Not bad and ford prices gen decent
@McLarenFan_Jamm booked mine in with local co. I've used - don't fancy main dealer. Fuel press reg med £, but if pump much more ££ :-(
@McLarenFan_Jamm the clutch/intercooler was done with main dealer as managed to get nissan to contribute to 50% intercooler cost and
@VeedubGeezer one reason why I'm interested in my next vehicle being electric (short distances, few moving parts), but sw/electric/new :-(
@VeedubGeezer but dependent on tax regime could opt for comp. car next time around, so not taking the risk...
@VeedubGeezer it seems as if a) theyre complex b) not enough instrumentation to determine problems c)too awkward/expensive to repair
@VeedubGeezer the Gm volt (always electric drive, petrol generator onboard) interesting as is focus ev/nissan (!) leaf (all electric).
@VeedubGeezer less convinced on the parallel hybrids
@VeedubGeezer thermal solar looks interesting in suitable climate, water heating/PV may work at home but not car. at least all-electric
@VeedubGeezer can utilize the cleaner & evolving power source
@LukaSambuca Grr You have "the chain" in your spotify playlist. Was trying to work now you're reminding me I'm missing #f1 ! :-(
@RhiannonMLane surprised at anything in particular? ! like? Also http://www.last.fm/user/planetf1
@RhiannonMLane indeed ref singers. last.fm - like recommendations ie as radio. spotify to follow friends/select tracks. still scrobble 2 lfm
@RhiannonMLane what kind of username is that on lasfm!
playing with project facets. This will probably end in ters....
A few thoughts on above
* Upload can be up to 1.3 Mbps with ADSL2+ & up to 2.6 Mbps with "annexe M" - Be/O2 support the former and Be the la
RT @ApprenticeLaura: Some retailers have been hit hard this winter, glad to say @johnlewisretail increased it's profits - great organisation
@unkn0wnvariable ah ok. I hadnt checked. for me distnce rules out > 1 Mbps though switching to bt infinity Jan 18th.
RT @mathewi: MT @laughingsquid: Ted the homeless guy with the great radio voice has been offered a job & a house: http://bit.ly/hWbACE
@unkn0wnvariable probably. It is easy to get lost in the network of social networks ;-)
My Top 3 Weekly #lastfm artists: Alexandra Burke (26), Ellie Goulding (10) & Sara Bareilles (8) #music http://bit.ly/aC2d2Q
Just noticed the STANDBY spec for my samsung 46" tv. >>0.06W<< -- pretty good & how it should be
@vodafoneuk How do I check data used (contract). call 44555 opt1 worked briefly, now diff format ?
grrr. both IE *and* firefox crashing on my win laptop - error MSVCRT 7.0.7600.16385 -- is there a later version?
@VodafoneUK it's an N900 - but sim free -- I have a new SIM free contract with you. Access was via pc
@VodafoneUK 44555 gave the info a few days ago a) why doesn't that work b) surely I can check on the voda site? (could do this on 3)
@VodafoneUK IMO this *REALLY* needs to be fixed. The *NETWORK* has this information - shouldn't need an app, should be easy web/balance enq
@VodafoneUK on the iphone does the app get the data counter from the phone, or does it query a vodafone service?
@OzoneVibe Yeah, I have an app too, and am zeroing, but realised I'd also booted android and meego as well as maemo - all use data
@OzoneVibe my usage on 3 was 250-450Mb/month, I went for a 1Gb voda tariff anyway - coverage means will prob get used more
Grr. finishing off work. Thats one java exception too far... time to call it a day. @xplane0202 bugging me about doing dinner
right. work.end.now. Eek. getting up, feel stiff!
no sour cream for fajitas (using what's in house). I reckon a dollop of brandy cream? Hee Hee!
@etherealtype sneaker bit of brandy/corvoisier brandy sauce then it is!
@etherealtype wish I had some guacamole / avacado. oh well.
@interestedb not everyone at home is so keen, but would be a shame to throw out
@etherealtype Now humous I like too - haven't made for a while though. Must do. nice with smoked salmon too
um. nah doesnt work great. too sweet really
Not very artistic. Quick meal. Lots of salad hiding the meat/peppers http://pi.pe/-qpi294
@kazb711 I did.. brandy flavour was nice with the chilli in the hot salsa... though cream itself was too sweet. needs souring.
@sxa555 you'll be a fair bit closer. Don't blame me. 300Gb "limit"
@sxa555 what do you get on adsl?
@sxa555 yes
@sxa555 no not explicitly on the main site (which annoys me). Best is from bt staff on twitter or in customer forums. so could change..
@sxa555 I just have until Jan 18th then infinity gets installed :-)
@sxa555 if you get 8 on adsl v1 you must be quite close!
@@sxa555 which isp?
@ananyah Hey - thanks for your spotify playlist - really helped me through work this afternoon :-)
@sxa555 have you asked them about fttc. Answer was N for me, but they are trialling, maybe as a potential exiting customer?
@Alexandra_1608 and tasted pretty yummy and fresh too. And now some guacomole has walked through door just as finished...
@Alexandra_1608 though real guacamole has to be made fresh!
@ananyah do you use lastfm btw?
RT @F1Lite: The official UK release of the "Senna" film is set for Friday June 3rd - that's just 149 days away! And 5 days after the Mon ...
So senna #f1 film fri June 3rd. Really want to see that... but preferably on the imax screen. So adds to the atmosphere
@VeedubGeezer brilliant - even for normal movies, as the screen is so so much bigger, and big sound system. Much more of an "event"
@VeedubGeezer saw inception & harry potter this year on imax.
@sxa555 am sure I read on one of the forums (thinkbroadband) that someone had it sorted after saying they were leaving?just good timing poss
@stevemartinross It's going to be huge.
@sxa555 of course aren't they owned by BT?
@ananyah ok. Didn't think I'd clicked but shows status as "friendship requested". (planetf1)
Unfriending someone on facebook that I know, but is emitting far too much spam from dodgy apps
@ananyah gr8.
just tasting the leftover salsa by itself - def too much ginger (I shouldn't have, but there was some there and LOVE ginger+chilli!)
@interestedb just wish it would balance the things that aren't then!
@iMismii I removed #engadget a while ago for same reason - best to just read blog/watch podcasts #CES
@littlelawyer84 that's probably a step too far. (2 days yes, but not 3!). Find some saved #f1 to watch?
@lookingspiffy oh is it that bad. I kept meaning to check it out... but realistically it cant be this year #F1
@TheVanquish @interestedb now wondering if you're talking bottles of a) beer b) wine c) vodka ...
@LauraLeslie23 usf1 ?
@interestedb @TheVanquish no, wine is a good answer. would be mine too. <sip> hic.
