No editing, troll....merely that the red blobs do not appear in a cut and paste.

Liar.

And I have been banned from the repo thread.
.

what. A. Shame.

So...remind us of which forum sections you have been banned from...

Currently. None. So I think that makes you the forum troll, not me.

[Salsa dancer]

(Sigh). So what are you saying was actually in my repo and that I altered, troll ?

Currently. None. So I think that makes you the forum troll, not me.

And that, I believe, is called a non-sequitur....a conclusion that does not follow from the premise.

You are aware of this, of course. That is why you are such a tedious, small-minded troll. Haven't you got anything better to do ? Hmmm....obviously not. What a pathetic internal life you must lead.

Seem to have picked up a cold, which I suppose is not surprising given the dramatic climate change. The situation at work is what it is, so I'll just lock in and complete that Moreland Uni course. Might as well get something productive out of the year.

A friend of mine has an unusual moan.

He spends a lot of time listening to Radio 5 Live, but due to a recent change in policy, now has to use a UK VPN on his laptop to listen in.

Occasionally when his wife goes out, he fancies a bit of 'me time'... sorry 'him time', so checks out some internet sites but while his laptop is 'in the UK' he now constantly gets asked for age verification and shit. He has to keep logging out of the BBC to turn his VPN off, and vice versa.

It's pissing him off.

^ yeah, all that stuff is a pain in the f'kin arse. I've sites I watched based on my Korean info, my UK Disney+ (which I quite like) is based on my UK phone because it gave me 6 free months when I got the phone in the UK a few weeks back (after 6 months I will cancel it). I must clean the caches and turn the browser on/off at least half a dozen times a day. I'm in the habit of using a HK VPN (LETS VPN) from my year in China, generally works well, but not so well with UK sites which means the Express VPN (although that one is constantly changing it's servers, so requires management...). A few years back when these content owners started to develop their own platforms and sell content into different categories (which they always did to an extent) - it all became a shitshow.

It's probably better if he register here so he can get the answer directly.

[Mendip]

^ Not necessary, I can pass it on.

A friend of mine suggests using a VPN server that is not UK based. Taiwan or HK work. Apparently. My friend said

I'm sure you can..

[Shutree]

I use NordVPN. It is only one mouse click to turn on or off, or to switch countries. Simples.

[nidhogg]

^seconded nord.

So no answer, then

What not use your phone to listen to BBC, and laptop for your animal porn?

[VocalNeal]

Hmmm. TV licenses in UK are free for over 60's. So ergo Brits over 60 living overseas should be able to watch/listen for free just like their UK resident brethren?

erm its over 75

[VocalNeal]

OK So ergo Brits over 75 living overseas should be able to watch/listen for free just like their UK resident brethren?

Same sentiment different age.

Newer news?

In a surprising and welcome move, the UK government has launched a pilot scheme offering a free TV licence to people aged 57 and above. This marks a major policy shift, as free licences were previously reserved for those aged 75+ and receiving Pension Credit.
Starting August 2025, hundreds of thousands of early retirees and low-income pensioners will be eligible, creating a lifeline for individuals struggling with rising costs.

I think I have just bought the last stock of decent shirts to see me through til I cark it. Its put my future longevity into focus.

^ 995 Baht, I went for the deluxe model.

I thought the days of saying 'piece of Chinese plastic shite' were over?

My fancy new pool water thermometer has stopped sending the temperature to the receiver, which is now just an expensive clock and calendar.



I've only had it for four days.

Piece of Chinese plastic shite.

September is such a great month for weather in Europe.

But I always have to work.

Not gonna do this again.

How about me and you go on holiday around the UK next year, nammers?

You driving, obviously.

[Edmond]

Feels like I've been stabbed in the stomach and kicked in the intestines, don't want to get up, don't want to stay in bed. Dumped by the GF, with very valid reasons, after 10 months together. The second longest relationship of my life.

Absolutely gutted.
