    I won't be - being cooped up at home is even more reason to go out!

    Yeah. I have to grit my teeth to get on my bike at the weekend. I don't know how to get around it. Cycle to work is 1 hour, public transport is 2.5 hours :eek:

    This wind has to stop soon! I fear the rain-y wind is imminent :(

    eBike?

    God no! I have tried them, and they're big, heavy, cumbersome, and I didn't feel like I went for a cycle at all, fcuk all effort to pedal it! Plus another thing to charge.
    I can't afford one anyway, a decent one is super pricey, 2k+

    Yawn! :P

    I need me some indoor space near me where I can roll. I might colonise an area of the park if the rain stays off for long enough...(and dogs and children don't run into me :eek:)

    The Belfast sink was the first thing I noticed (but for all the wrong reasons - I just don't understand the attraction of them).

    are belfast sinks not suited to people who are really short (or who have really long arms).

    apols to ednwireland, he posts a photo of a lovely bike and people talk about his sink.
    btw, nice dishwasher - is that the BE-109 model? it's got a great rinsing mode.

    In covid-19 news. I've been busy this week getting laptops and rsa tokens assigned for people who'll be working from home. Had to call a few today to let them know they need to come in and collect their stuff. There was more than one call where kids could be heard killing one another in the background :pac:

    ah yeah, i still have one of those knocking around somewhere. we got rid of them a while back. they've been massively ramping up VPN capacity in work, i'd say VPN concentrators are the tech equivalent of loo roll at the moment.

    Same for me at work. All week we have been saying have you your RSA working? Have you tested at home?

    Friday comes around. “I can’t connect to the VPN at home”

    Did you test it?

    “No”

    **** off
