| 07:11.27 | hali | morning |
| 07:27.39 | bilarh | why. top of the morning to you too |
| 08:20.55 | antiphase | Nice one blud |
| 08:21.02 | cpufreak | aii |
| 08:30.31 | ChoHag | needs boxes |
| 08:34.53 | hali | just ordered three boxes |
| 08:38.08 | bilarh | chohag: buy them online, 70-quid-ish should get you around 20 boxes at least |
| 08:38.11 | bilarh | 3.5 each |
| 08:38.34 | ChoHag | £3.50 for a box? |
| 08:38.50 | bilarh | a high quality one |
| 08:39.04 | ChoHag | But still a box? |
| 08:39.07 | bilarh | yes |
| 08:39.13 | bilarh | that's what i thought when i saw the prices first |
| 08:39.19 | bilarh | so i shopped around, and that was the cheapest i could find |
| 08:39.21 | antiphase | Go and chavcycle some from a supermarket |
| 08:39.24 | bilarh | this was about 4 years back, though |
| 08:39.38 | ChoHag | antiphase: They said I can get some at 10 tonight. |
| 08:39.55 | ChoHag | I might, but I don't want to wait 12 hours to find that they've crushed them already, or they're too small or something. |
| 08:40.44 | bilarh | that's it.. my boxes are 3 and 4 layers |
| 08:40.51 | bilarh | and they're big and sturdy :) |
| 08:41.06 | bilarh | you get what you pay for, it's a bit like free linux vs pay for windows |
| 08:42.13 | ChoHag | I'm only moving a couple of miles down the road. If it comes to £3.50 per box I'll just use black sacks. |
| 08:42.50 | bilarh | sacks-- for glass-ware :) |
| 08:42.57 | ChoHag | Don't have much. |
| 08:43.08 | ChoHag | Svitlana smashed most of it already. |
| 08:43.22 | bilarh | you must stop making her agnry :D |

| 08:43.29 | ChoHag | She just can't wash up. |
| 09:03.34 | wethrin | Get a dishwasher |
| 09:04.24 | bilarh | wethrin: he's married, isn't that enough? |
| 09:08.45 | wethrin | Well....read up a couple of lines :) |
| 09:08.49 | wethrin | evidently not |
| 09:10.40 | bilarh | chain too long problem :( |
| 09:15.51 | wethrin | Hm. Do I go straight to work, or do I go via the post office? |
| 09:16.11 | wethrin | (I need to pick up a package) |

| 10:54.23 | z00dax | are there any of those 0870 dialup type internet service providers still around in the UK ? |
| 10:55.32 | bilarh | dick_turpin will sort you out |
| 10:56.11 | dick_turpin | Um we stopped doing them about two years ago |
| 10:56.55 | bilarh | i used to have to use one for a week or two |
| 10:57.01 | bilarh | it totally sucked |
| 10:57.13 | bilarh | was about 6.5 years back, though |
| 10:57.26 | z00dax | given that there is no power in the area, its going o be the only way I get online from home |
| 10:57.35 | z00dax | unless I can find a pcmcia based adsl2+ modem |
| 10:57.37 | bilarh | z00dax: how about you get a g3 modem for your lapto? |
| 10:57.47 | bilarh | 3g, even |
| 10:58.06 | z00dax | bilarh: dialup at 56k is actually faster than what you can get from most of these 3g things |
| 10:58.24 | z00dax | I've got a nokia wired up with o2's sim - and its dog ass slow |
| 10:58.36 | bilarh | really? |
| 10:58.44 | z00dax | vodafone and orange have no 'data' access in the area - they are only doing phone services |
| 10:58.46 | cpufreak | I can watch iplayer over my iphone using tethered connectivity |
| 10:58.54 | bilarh | must be some problem in your area, my wifes iphone is way faster than 56k |
| 10:59.12 | bilarh | z00dax: crikey, where do you live exactly? |
| 10:59.17 | z00dax | the orange guys said that their data services were run locally from the towers, and with reduced electrics, they have shut those down |
| 10:59.26 | z00dax | bilarh: bexley |
| 10:59.39 | bilarh | bexley, as in bexley heath? |
| 10:59.41 | bilarh | in london?\ |
| 10:59.41 | cpufreak | z00dax: why cant' you get a usb adsl2+ modem? |
| 11:00.01 | z00dax | cpufreak: most of them need power |
| 11:00.09 | cpufreak | doesn't your laptop need power? |
| 11:00.17 | z00dax | cpufreak: not for the first 17 hrs |
| 11:00.21 | bilarh | i can't believe the uk, that's like within the m25 and there's no data services, for crying out loud |
| 11:00.33 | bilarh | i was driving through the forest in france, and had 3g connection all the way |
| 11:00.51 | cpufreak | oh wow, 60,000 homes out of electricity |
| 11:00.54 | z00dax | http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/8162511.stm |
| 11:00.55 | cpufreak | bilarh: its not a normal event |
| 11:01.05 | bilarh | oh right :P |
| 11:01.07 | bilarh | i was gonna say |
| 11:01.18 | wethrin | fucking chavs |
| 11:01.18 | bilarh | well, actually i did say |
| 11:01.20 | cpufreak | z00dax: clara still have some dialup |
| 11:01.22 | cpufreak | on 0845 |
| 11:01.26 | z00dax | in my 8 odd years in the UK - this is the second time, the first was up north when lightning took out a power station, and they rebuilt the whole thing in about 16 hrs. |
| 11:01.26 | cpufreak | gimme a sec |
| 11:01.27 | wethrin | it'd do them good to have 11kV through their bodies |
| 11:01.59 | z00dax | cpufreak: cheers |
| 11:02.24 | cpufreak | a lightnning took out a power station? |
| 11:02.31 | cpufreak | how, doing a low fly by? |
| 11:02.36 | cpufreak | I thought they were all retired before then |
| 11:03.18 | z00dax | erm. the other kind of lightning |
| 11:03.41 | z00dax | although, this was in Accrington. So noone really knew what happaned. |
| 11:04.31 | antiphase | Milk; eugh! |
| 14:36.41 | bilarh | sheesh, SMclient sucks |
| 14:37.12 | bilarh | it's using 80% cpu time on a 1750 just to check the logs of an array |
| 14:40.14 | dick_turpin | bilarh: Not sure if I mentioned this the other day but an ex boss got in touch a couple of days ago which was strange, turns out he is out of work bwahaha. See all you have to do is be patient and one day you'll have a laugh at their expense :-) |
| 14:40.53 | dick_turpin | Admittedly I had to wait 10 years but it was worth it |
| 14:54.27 | bilarh | hehe :) |
| 15:04.45 | dick_turpin | bilarh: Actually I can think of about five instances where people I've known have had their come-upance |
| 15:43.54 | Mohan | <PROTECTED> |
| 15:44.17 | Mohan | oops wrong window. |
| 15:56.44 | issyl0 | bilarh, you had 3G connection whilst driving through a forest in France? Where were you?!! |

| 19:12.07 | cityLights1 | ok, I want to understand how does the technical part runs |
| 19:12.30 | cityLights1 | can I cyclist just ask for a technition , when ever he wants to? |
| 19:12.33 | boudiccas | there are no 'runs' its /all/ cycling |
| 19:13.01 | boudiccas | you're english is breaking up and becoming un-understandable |
| 19:13.17 | cityLights1 | I mean, today for example a cyclist had a flate tire at around and hour in to the race |
| 19:13.25 | boudiccas | right |
| 19:13.34 | boudiccas | so ......? |
| 19:13.35 | cityLights1 | he was in the front pack |
