Yeah little thumb wheel. So weird to get used to. I've skated loads but I nearly fell off as soon as I set off. It's just like someone tried to kick your board out from under you.

I forgot you ordered that! Enough range to get to the Strawberry Gardens and back for a few pints of Black Dragon cider?

Mrs W and I watched Florence Foster Jenkins last night and the external shots of the New York apartment building she was living in were actually the Liver Building, but I first realised this when I saw shots from inside her building showing the building across the road, which I immediately recognised as Cunard Building on Water St, as we used to have offices on the ground floor there. It's been used in quite a lot films and TV progs, just as the interior of Manchester Town Hall has been used many, many times, probably most often as the interior of The palace Of Westminster.

Out playing on my stupid new toy:



Only in the middle speed mode here. Full speed can get a bit sketchy with speed wobbles starting, but at least on this you can just brake. Normally when you get speed wobbles it's when you're bombing a hill on a normal board and unless you can ride it out to the bottom then you're pretty much coming off.

I don't know really. I went out after work and did 15km and it wasn't on the last bar. It's generally not a good idea to do a full range test with these things, though. So I'll just trust what others say and try and not run it right down.

This is even a relatively cheap one. The US made ones such as Boosted boards are over a grand.

Got home after a weekend away to find a box of flowers stuffed into my letterbox. My initial excitement at having a secret admirer diminished when the label said it was for a long lost previous owner of the house who I've never had any details for and only ever scribble 'Return to sender' when circulars in her name come through.

I felt that since people send flowers for reasons, they'd be disappointed if they didn't know they had the wrong address. I emailed the company to inform them that I had the package and asked if they'd let the sender know. The company passed on the message and said I could dispose of them if I didn't hear anything within the day.

Haven't decided if I'll put them in a vase, chuck them in the compost box, or give them to my neighbour.

After a year of now working for a new company, they migrated all the accounts over on Friday. Mostly it went well, just i can't access any mail on works phone, as it is windows.

Is there an official outlook app for a windows phone?

Very much so. Whether you'll be able to hook it up to your work email is a totally different story

There are dozens of different ways to set Exchange up for mobile access. The only people who can really tell you what to do is your helpdesk

If Outlook on iPhone is supported I'd be quite surprised if Outlook on Windows Phone wasn't. They'll be using conditional access which can apply all the same policy rules over Outlook on Windows as it can on the other devices.

Get an iPhone or Android device anyway. Windows phones are bad.
