Not as fancy as a Sky Q mind, but an option? I’ve still got 2 old sky box’s as sky were happy to install the old sky dish to the chimney 20 years ago. I’ve since even changed the dish so I can’t complain to much as still got sky. Q would have been nice though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a pretty comprehensive statement and it was that to which I replied. You misunderstand. I meant that you weren't taking in to account that there were people with other points of view - as I explained in the previous post when I said: It is very sad but for some people it absolutely is true and you appeared to grasp that by accepting what I initially said in response to you before rather ruining it with the rest of your post. It's shit - as I explained - and as you appear to accept. What an outlook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Manctopia' Uggghh The only city i'd want to live in less than Brum. At least Brummies know that their city is a bit shit. The Mancs on the other hand think their cesspit of a city is Utopia.

A good guess, I am making a curry, does @rjw63 have some good recipes that a 'disabled' cook would be able to do - my signature is usually a Patia. I do also quite like the cheating 'Holy Cow' curry sauces. Edited August 18, 2020 by bielesibub smelling pistake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure he has some disabling curries and they must be pretty easy (if he can do them) Currently my favourite curry that I cook is a Lamb Keema and that is pretty easy (cos I can do it). Mainly measuring ingredients, frying and stirring are the only skills required 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted August 18, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted August 18, 2020 In the latest saga of insurance industry woes... Get sent a case. Pretty good except it does one thing we just don't like. Broker tells us basically true one off, never done it before won't do it again got burnt not interested in it anymore. We like the case otherwise so after much hassle get authorisation from on high to say for this case, this one time, we'll agree to offer terms but on the basis there's only been 1 example of this kind of work that they've ever done, that they agree that we aren't going to cover any claim that comes from that contract, and that they agree they're never doing that work again. And it was a struggle to get to that point. Next day. Email from the broker. Thanks very much for the quote. Client has asked us to let you know that actually they've done that kind of work 3 times and could you clarify exactly what you would define as that kind of work because they do *thing that is basically the same as the thing they totally only did once, sorry, 3 times* quite a lot...
