  1. And your points about Tinder, I'm not in the game so don't have first hand experience but I know plenty that have been down that road. My conclusion is that women in their thirties have lost the looks and vitality of their youth but are yet to get to their forties where they feel like they need to make up for lost time and put a lot of effort in. Effectively, 30something single women are rarely gonna be a good investment in time, either go up or down a bracket
  2. Dem bin this one off man she's a **** nut, don't waste your time with. Never EVER stick your dick in crazy.
  3. The author of the book, Cesar Millan? The missus has his program on series link and he's pretty dark at turning dogs around tbf
  4. Get yourself a reputation that makes you the first on the stag do list and last at the wedding invitations list
  5. I agree, a good post and some good points made. I'd recommend a book called The Dog Listener, which basically explains the pack thing and why dogs do what they do. It's helped us no end with our Lab pup, Cesar?

    Often, yes. Sometimes, like any job it's tedious or repetitive or mundane, but overall I like it, and at times love it. I'm lucky, I think. There are few that can say that so well done

    Thanks [emoji4]. In my case I am the avionics systems engineer responsible for the RF communications and other links on a particular type of aircraft. So specifying, system design, testing, qualifying, modifying, configuring, defect diagnostics, performance monitoring, modelling, data analysis, certification, safety work, trials support.... That kind of thing. Interesting work?
  8. Very good post, there are very few vicious dogs just very irresponsible owners. A pitbull can be the softest dog with correct training.

    It's a question with 2 answers if you use kB, and 2 different ways of getting there - Some software engineers tend to work it out as follows using binary units: 1 Byte = 8 bits. 1 kiloByte = 1024 Bytes so 1Mb = 128kB (128 x 1024 x 8) so a 1Mbps connection will download a 128kB file in 1 second and an 8Mbps connection will download a 1MB file in a second (this assumes no losses, bit errors, corruption etc. and no FEC. BUT Most non-softies tend to use the more commonly accepted IEEE & SI decimal based definitions of kilo and Mega (1000 and 1,000,000). Which makes the sums a tad easier. 1 Byte = 8 bits. 1 kiloByte = 1000 Bytes so 1Mb = 125kB (125 x 1000 x 8 bits) so a 1Mbps connection will download a 125kB file in 1 second Though once you get to talking about MB, the answer is the same with either definition - an 8Mbps connection will download a 1MB file in a second (this assumes no losses, bit errors, corruption etc. and no FEC). So if you use MB instead of kB the answer (in time) is the same for each definition, (though the amount of bits transferred is different). Confusing then. I understand the latter method is more common these days. But it still can cause confusion when you get say software engineers and (say) communications engineers potentially using different definitions of what (how many Bytes) a kiloByte is. Perhaps a softie could clarify. I'm more of a comms system engineer. Always clear explanations Blandy, you're a good man. What does the role of a comms system engineer involve?
  10. Yeah I saw a 99.9 garage earlier, I assumed it was just because I was down south in fairness as when I left Wolverhampton it was definitely 10x.9 on Saturday
  11. Don't forget the constant moving of the goalposts in education to force more academy conversions
  12. You'd like Arsenalna station in Kiev , the ride is so long people sit down and read a book ... It's about 108m , they started to build one station at 800m down but it never got competed !! I shall refer to this setting as the Dream Stairs
  13. I'm learning a lot about all of you with this, particularly Useless
  14. People that live their lives at such a frantic pace they can't find the time to thoroughly enjoy an escalator ride
  15. Yeah, you'll be great on the Drive-Thru mate Haha you penis, very funny
  16. Some good answers so far, also some answers that require a bit of googling on my part too
  17. Xann, you're quite eclectic mate, has that ever been said before?
  18. You are djing to a room (think more Working Men Club than Pacha) of people you don't know, the usual Wedding crowd, you only have half hour, your aim is to leave that room as the greatest DJ of all time. What songs would you play, and if appropriate, why?
  19. Enville, Landlord, Ubu winning the taste so far, Bathams was close second, not keen on Glow
  20. Bathams, Glow and Enville? Are you finally growing some taste buds there mate? [emoji3] Haha actually it was a close call, the offie had crates of Red Stripe on offer, they nearly won!
  21. An excellent EOY review at work and news of a possible promotion next year if all goes well, that's what we like to hear Pong
  22. I've been trying the ales a lot recently, don't think lager is too good for me any more. Just had a bottle of TT Landlord, opened a Bathams Best (nod to D1), got a bottle of Golden Glow, Enville and something called Chocolate Marble left. Tried Ubu and Mad Goose the other night, Ubu was a very nice drop. Of the ones mentioned above, which would everyone pick as their favourite?
  23. First impressions, very good, so simple to use its unreal, love the interface and the jog wheel. Can't find away to make calls off it, it seems to only link to the phone but there are few occasions I would want to make a call where I can't use a phone anyway
  24. Have you done another test today? You can get false positive results due to certain medication, etc Mate if it was me I'd be half way to the clinic by now...
