Tea tonight was chicken and chips, being the remaining leg and wing of the fowl I roasted on Monday, and part of a batch of chips I made up to Phase II this afternoon. Very nice, it was

Watched something about the Gwent Police collisions investigation people while eating, which showed that the Apple TV with the BBC iPlayer app is capable of streaming OK via the iPad's 4G. Not sure it'll cope with streaming a 4K HDR film, though. I may be sticking to disc-based video this evening, though on the other hand it's helping to use up a large remaining data allowance on the iPad

Tonight's main feature was another instalment in the All The Bonds project: For Your Eyes Only (1981). I think I've seen this one before, many years ago, but didn't really remember much of it apart from the opening sequence. Very much of the era of "Look at these places to which plebs like you can't afford to go on holiday" but, if you don't mind the story being bent into odd shapes to fit in as many winter sports as possible, it's pretty good

And then a couple more episodes of the ongoing rewatch of The West Wing, which at least demonstrated that the iPad is cool with having its 4g connection used for streaming HD video by the Apple TV. In theory, I could have downloaded the episodes to the iPad (or one of the Macs, or even the iPhone) and then sent them across using AirPlay, but it turned out not to be necessary

Goodnight all

Morning all!

Day 24 of permydom!

In the Bolton on't 'ill office!

As of 07:07 it's still dark, a warm gentle breeze - which is nice.

A day of "Meetings, bloody meetings"!

Have a good day all!

Grey, dark, dank, & drizzly, with added mist just in case the grey, dark, dank, & drizzly wasn't depressing enough.

Roll on July.

Big meeting today ... think it may be time to move on

well it's been ten years or so

other than that low scudding cloud is bringing some rain to Manchester - but can see some blue sky above it.

Happy Tuesday.

Well the big meeting happened and I managed to avoid being culled - it seems no one was culled we are just being 'reshuffled' and 'energised' to make room for the new boss to bring in some of his mates in highly paid positions.

I give it 18 months - which is 12 months longer than the last one.

On another note Manchester is grey and overcast but not really very chilly.

Happy Thursday.

Morning all
Murky out, can't even see the bottom of the garden.

Morning denizens

Grey day again

Broadband still screwed

[NickFitz]

Wait time of ten minutes on the customer disservice line

I'll try again later

[BR14]

Morning
dull, and a trifle king billy in sarf herts

Maybe buy the boss a few beers & talk about football? Sounds like this is a good contact.
