    Furlough fraud.

    Well, that very much depends on the culture of where you work and if it is good and healthy, and of course if you like the people you are forced to work with. Sometimes it's better to be away from the school yard. IT is a profession perfectly suited to the title "digital nomad", however, most...

    Halfrauds!

    I have my own domain names with generic email forwarding. If asked I can make an address up on the spot eg [email protected] receive the receipt. Simple. If they abuse it and sell it on, it's pretty obvious who it is and they can be dealt with. It's also possible to block any without risking...

    They are receiving 55000, the rest is for their legal fees. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-sussex-53041256

    Loft flooring & Kingspan

    Thanks. Yeah the very small bit of work I've done with stuff didn't fill me with joy at the prospect of cutting it into strips. Just fitted a nice big hatch/ladder so fingers crossed they'll go up in one :)

    Loft flooring & Kingspan

    Doing some sums, there's a couple of options. The existing joists are 100mm with what appears to be 270mm mineral wool giving a U of ~0.164. If I keep 100mm of mineral wool, drop some 80mm Celotex over the top it gives a U of ~0.17. 100mm Celotex gives a U of ~ 0.148. As I understand the target...

    Loft flooring & Kingspan

    Hi, Sorry another loft floor question! I'm looking at putting down 18 or 22 mm P5 flooring in my loft, done the job in previous houses but in this one the roof height is a bit lower so no cross battening. The setup of the loft would easily take the T&G screwed down onto the joists but I would...

    12 Output Home Distribution

    You don't need a Quattro LNB (and the non Sky dish that goes with it anymore). There are multiswitches out there that use a Sky Q LNB which fits to a normal mini dish. I've used a Triax device - each output supports legacy satellite and wideband (Sky Q etc). They are not cheap but they need far...

    New Printer

    Is that when you fancy horsing around? :D psst it's Epson. If you're looking at inkjets, be very aware of the pricing models - cheap hardware means expensive ink (razor blade model). Some like HP are pushing towards subscription models and applying updates to their printers to disable 3rd party...

    Wet and dry vacuums - any good for cleaning carpets?

    As others have said a wet vac isn't really suitable for carpet cleaning but they are very useful for spills. Don't buy a Vax they're useless, the rotating brushes are weak and snap off on even the lightest pile carpet. If you want to buy one, spend 250-300 on a Bissell. Ours has had some...

    Spoons

    And that is why the tin hoarders will become the local convenience store :D What they should have done is bought shells for the couple of shotguns they'll need to avoid the "survivors".

    Which is a strawman argument in the context and you know it.

    Following the Rules (the CV lock down)

    Because people manage to have accidents regardless, it's not all about speed :rolleyes: If you don't travel by car you can't have a car accident. If everyone else adheres to that (or where possible), the chances of you being hit by a car vastly reduce also.

    Following the Rules (the CV lock down)

    Talking to people like adults clearly doesn't work. The comments prove they're dealing with ****wits, oh and those who never really need an excuse to take a pot shot at the Police.

    Following the Rules (the CV lock down)

    True. But how do you get the message across to an idiot? You may comprehend it and find it condescending but those people ignoring the ask / rules are clearly short of a few cells or think they're above the law.

    Following the Rules (the CV lock down)

    You're both missing the point - you should not be driving to take your walk or "do" social distancing. The reason is to reduce the chances of an accident requiring vital services to be taken away to a remote location to treat you / pick up the pieces. Some of these locations take a good while to...
