Sounds like a shit GP who'll happily name bomb a condition without specifically clarifying what it actually means and the range of the spectrum.

We received a letter from Bens oncologist to the GP (we get ccd on all correspondence ) merrily stating they had observed he had a condition (in Latin) that Wikipedia confirmed meant that he had a hole in his heart. After initial wild panic (this was 6pm on a Friday, ideally) a bit of googling confirmed that 25% of kids aged 4 have this type of thing and it's nothing unless you reach puberty with it.

Anyway, anecdotes aside, hope it all fixes well.

If it helps, I once topped out over 1000 on that scale, with no ill effects other than feeling really fucking tired.

Just got a Get It Right copyright infringement email from Virgin Media. Looks like my 'wi-fi was unsecured' and 'someone else used it download a torrent'. Time to 'change my wi-fi password'

Stay safe, folks. There's pirates on the loose.

People still pirate stuff these days? How quaint.

A friend of mine had one of these letters the other day and it told him the title of what had been downloaded. It was an episode of True Blood or something crap like that.

Why? There still isn't a subscription offering that provides all desired content.

Whatever you need to do to justify it, friend!

That's not justification of anything, it's outright thievery - but I'm surprised you'd think the reasons for doing so would have gone away.

Why would you torrent illegally when you can watch streaming sites where it's only the uploader breaking the law?

Also, Ruth's bad liver numbers have halved in five days, so looks like things are going in the right direction. GP also said she'd still be fine for the kidney op in two weeks. Yay!

Depends on your use case. "Some people" want to sync the media to their mobile devices for offline viewing, for example.

Still very true, its also habit for me now, I will download stuff to my NAS that's on Amazon Video

Which I have a subscription for.

They must be looking to clamp down on this? I know loads of people at work who 12 months ago had never heard of Kodi but now they are all on customized fire sticks and are canceling SKY subscriptions as a result.

Well quite, but Myp was commenting on all piracy, not torrenting specifically.

I tried the streaming stuff on my Kodi a few months ago, bit hit and miss, in the end I rebuilt my hardware and went back to OpenElec and just downloading stuff

Glad to hear your wife is getting better BTW

Life can't give without taking, so HMRC have sent me a £100 fine for not completing a self assessment for the year ending April 2016,despite the fact I de-registered from self assessment in 2015 as the only reason I ever signed up was to repay child benefit. Fucking cunts.

Call them up and contest it. If you defo de-registered they have no basis to fine you!

This has happened to me repeatedly, as also were back-invoices for class 2 NICs they thought I should pay because I was self-employed once (but should not, in fact, pay because I was no longer self employed.) If you call them up I think they won't even blink, they'll just cancel it immediately.

Oh yeah have fun with this. I had to fill out self-assessments for THREE YEARS after I informed them I was now PAYE

Hope I don't have any fun and games with this, I deregistered last time round. Fucking hate doing tax returns.

I think I'll have to go to SA, as I'm due a nice rebate from pension stuff this (tax) year. Due since last April, though, and that's how motivated I have been to phone and find out.

Bloody brakes on the car just went whilst going down hill. Yanked on the handbrake in time thankfully, so avoided a head on collision. Then drove very slowly over to the garage and dropped the car off with them to sort out on Monday. Ffs

If it was a very long hill you might have just overheated them and there's not really anything to fix.

markg · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 16557

I did that to the MX5 bombing down Kirkstone Pass. Made it to the bottom and when I went for the brakes there was nothing.

No, I was applying the brakes full on in order to stop quickly (oncoming car round a corner, narrow lane) and then something went "spang" and then the brakes weren't there any more. I limped up tot he garage using only the handbrake, as the brake pedal now does pretty much nothing.

Grim... · **Posted:** Sat Mar 04, 2017 18:21

Christ, that shouldn't happen. The only thing I can think of is that one of the cylinders had a catastrophic failure and you lost fluid pressure.

TheVision · **Posted:** Sat Mar 04, 2017 18:34

That happened to me once but luckily I was really close to home and managed to drift slowly onto my drive. Sounds like you were lucky too MrChris!

Yep, pretty much. On one hand he's his normal self, purring, eating and fussing, but if he can't go to the toilet properly it's basically fatal. I'm spoiling him rotten at the moment, obviously.

Zardoz · **Posted:** Sat Mar 04, 2017 19:43

So sorry to hear that. Hope Morbo starts improving.

This is in danger of jumping around lots of threads, but he's not doing too badly today. I don't think everything is working perfectly but he is managing to use his litter box.

He looks ridiculous though.
