My Three phone contract is running out soon. I currently pay 17 quid a month for unlimited calling, texting, and a lot of data (can’t remember how much but I e only exceeded my limit a couple of times over two years). They’ve been fine, but I’m wondering if there’s a better deal out there. I’m in a small town in Scotland fyi.

Drinkslinger posted:Jon Holmes, eh? I seem to remember him getting fired from Virgin Radio in like 2001 for getting a nine-year-old girl to say the phrase "soapy tit wank" live on air Sounds like a winner quote:He then moved to XFM London "for approximately an hour" before being fired for going to the toilet on air in fellow presenter Dermot O'Leary's desk drawer. Subsequently, the late-night Jon Holmes show on Virgin Radio ran from 2001 to 2002, but Holmes was fired after several controversial stunts. Virgin was fined a record £75,000 for Holmes's feature "Swearing Radio Hangman for the Under-12s", in which he persuaded a nine-year-old girl to spell out and then repeat the phrase "soapy tit wank". Unrepentant, Holmes's own website boasts: "Jon still holds the record for 'largest fine ever for taste and decency offences in British broadcasting'. Sadly he didn’t get a certificate or anything."

Punt & Dennis were annoying, they had the guy wot does political songs, Mitch someone or other who was more melty than cheese toastie, but you'd occasionally get someone like Mark Steele on IIRC & was alright. I listened because I liked satire & felt an obligation (bit like HIGNFY which I kept watching long after it had stopped being much more than Hislop being smug) but at the same time I'm so glad Twitter came along & served the same purpose while actually being funny to me.

There’s a Doctor Who quote that applies: Every time the TARDIS materializes in a new location, within the first nanosecond of landing, it analyzes its surroundings, calculates a twelve-dimensional data map of everything within a thousand mile radius, and determines which outer shell would blend in best with the environment. And then it disguises itself as a police telephone box from 1963.

I think it's good that people who have rightly and consistently criticised the British arms manufacturers and British military including its membership of NATO continue to do so. Depending on how much influence Johnson had over Zelensky and how serious the negotiations were at that point there could have been peace in Ukraine by now if Corbyn was Prime Minister.

They’ve been fine, but I’m wondering if there’s a better deal out there. I’m in a small town in Scotland fyi.

I'll never own one so I'll live vicariously through your gadgets I only got it yesterday and haven't driven it much to figure stuff out yet, but this is the stuff I have found so far the hard way Start out in a dark car park, start to turn out and the headlights swing around in that direction indicated so I can see it's clear easily Get going down the motorway and when a bmw comes up behind with fullbeam headlights going, the rearview mirror automatically dims it right down so I'm not squinting while swearing at them When that said same prick on wheels overtakes, sensors tell me there's someone coming up in my blindspot with an indicator light on the relevant mirror and if I was to try and indicate/turn into that threat, the alert would become a lot more obvious/noisy I roll up behind some traffic and my own headlights tip down to avoid blinding the car in front and the headlights are just automatically on when needed When someone walks out on the car in front of me at a pedestrian crossing, the same front sensors notice that car braking hard as a threat and assists my own braking efforts Automatic handbrake does its own thing, and it just fuckin' works- I thought I might hate it but it just does its thing and I have only reached for the non existent handbrake instinctively once or twice Same thing with the lane assist, it doesn't interfere but more provides a slight nudge/feel if it notices me drifting out of line, almost like when the tyres find the natural rut in the road Engine stops when I'm stopped in traffic and out of gear and starts up again seamlessly before I finish shifting it back into first Get to the shops and it's a cold day so I hit a button and it keeps the heating system running on low to utilise the excess heat in the loop and keep the car toasty inside and it looks like the aircon will work the same way in summer There's a whole host of other little touches like pop out door edge guards to prevent car park door damage and umbrellas in the front doors and an ice scraper in the fuel flap and all the entertainment stuff is top notch too and there's other poo poo I haven't tried like waggling my foot under the boot to open it automatically A lot of this might be old hat to some folks but my last car was 19/20 years old and did not do any of this cool poo poo OwlFancier posted:The new hire car I got off my insurance the other day was mostly "try to kill you with self driving features" and "horrifyingly insulate you from the outside in a manner seemingly intended to produce dissociative episodes while driivng" That's how the hyundai santa fe I tried felt, like I was using an old PC game controller steering wheel that gave no feedback about the road, and it kept beeping at me for everything while rolling around corners

On the other hand he might have made a more concerted effort to accept refugees and get them decent living conditions so whether the difference would have been overall good or bad is harder to say.
