SPAM random annoying things

Cool, nobody asked you to. Also you're generalising on both sides.

Nobody asked me to what?

And of course I'm generalising - we're talking in general. And in general, council tenants have a fucking shit time because coucils are the worst landlords.

We have wooden and stone floors downstairs, carpeted upstairs. I have investigated the floor boards upstairs and the amount of work they would need, it would be pain. Nobody cares about spilling paint on floorboards, apparently, and they must be at least 100-150 years old, when upstairs was added to the house.

You could rip them out and insulate the space below (makes a big difference to how heat rises through the house), then put new T&G floorboards down. Seals everything nicely, but the downside is that it's difficult to rewire/replumb later.

Chat GPT. I asked it to generate an image of people skydiving

Sorry I can't do that as it contravenes our guidelines

Why ?

We can't show images of people falling from heights


Huh ?!

Chat GPT 5 is taking the piss


Me: how long would it take to demolish St Paul's Cathedral ?

GPT: I can't help you undertake any illegal activity....blah blah bah

Me: Fuck this. I'm going back to version 4o

GPT: It sounds like you're under a lot of stress. Do you need to talk to someone like the Samaritans ?

Don't start me off, one of my sisters lives in a very quiet residential road, they cannot get fibre broadband, still stuck on ADSL2 and lucky if they get 115200baud download speeds.

My barber was telling me his village very recently had fibre installed.

There was a Virgin bloke doing door to door sales with neighbours following him telling people not to as it doesn't work.

Seems weird that they don't do the golden handshake thing, I suppose they do with initial price tho.

Thanks, I am sure I looked at that and just saw people complaining about having to spend several hundred pounds on the hardware, maybe I was looking at an archived site from years ago as it seems you do not pay for any hardware. Will ping it over to them and see what they think. I will also get them to go to a speedtest site just for the 3rd world giggles.

It's only going to get cheaper and faster as more come online (remember paying £50 a month for 128kb Demon Internet). Once Starship gets beyond prototype stage they'll be launching much larger Starlink satellites with much greater bandwidth.

You have an exceedingly optimistic view of how capitalism works..

I'm fairly sure that Starlink have already stated that their model will mean that wealthier countries will essentially pay for it to be rolled out to poorer countries (and get the exclusively Elon Musk information)

Waking up this morning and realising you are a massive twat.

So yesterday I was on babysitting duties with Nanny and having a wonderful time, one of the grandkids has a digital watch, he was checking the time and I noticed it was an hour fast, oh Grandad can fix that as it has not gone back due to the clock change. Spent several minutes and give up.

Daughter arrives home and I asked her how do I change the time on his watch, "Oh you need an app for that", "Fucksake". So daughter knows she has to set the correct time on her son's phone. I say my goodbyes and escape to freedom, come home and watch a bit of TV and eventually decide to go to bed.

Woke up a little while ago, turnover and check my bedside clock, ooh "6.32" may as well get up, so get up and come downstairs and whilst kettle is boiling check the phone for news. Fucking "5.40".

This dozy fucking twat had also forgot to turn his bedside clock back. I can see my daughter's words when I ring her later and tell her, "You are stupid Dad, you are a dinlo Dad, Dad! Grandad has been very silly and cannot work his clock, kids: "Grandad you are silly"

My son when he hears of it "Dad you fucking melt"
