All I can say about Scotland's performance today is that the ITV coverage has Grieg Laidlaw as a pundit and he looks dapper in his suit.

Best England performance of the tournament by some distance. The backs were really sharp (for once).

Definitely. And the ending was a gripping and crowning coup de théâtre.

I loved the cheeky try at the end.

Sunday morning blackout here in the Shire. This had better be sorted by the time the Carys Matthews show starts on Radio 6 else I'll be mildly disappointed.

Surely you can use whatever device it is you're posting here with?

Probably a good idea in such situations to save power for more important things. But it's come back on now.

There really isn't much point configuring access lists on firewalls if you are just going to add a "Permit Any Any" rule at the start or end

Hmm. Unionized labour means that although I can get to Leeds at my normal time for Netrunner, coming back on the train is not an option. Getting a bus is, which takes 53 minutes, or I could just drive there and back (40 mins) and not drink. Fir the sake of 13 mins more on a bus and a walk up the hill, i think I will have some beers.

He's already established that there is no return train. Then he buys a return ticket.

The train's at Shrewsbury station. *waves*

Friend of mine forwarded me a tweet by my ex earlier about his "5 figure bank account"

The same ex who can't afford to pay more than £30 p/m towards his kids and repeatedly fails to provide shoes, uniform, etc.

:facepalm:

Is the first figure '-' ?

Jem · **Posted:** Thu Mar 16, 2017 15:44

Ha. Unfortunately he probably has a 5 figure bank account (I bought him out of the mortgage to the tune of £20k and he lives with his mother rent/bill free) - just the bare faced cheek of it boggles my mind.

myp · **Posted:** Thu Mar 16, 2017 15:46

He's probably got £123.82

MaliA · **Posted:** Thu Mar 16, 2017 15:47

Unless it is eighty thousand and eighty one quid, thirty five pence, that ain't impressive.

In less infuriating news, this tweet by McDonalds (cough hacker cough) made me laugh:
