Re: Cooking delivery services
We tried Gousto and Hello Fresh, there are some good recipes there and interesting meals but I would say the portion sizes are a bit small sometimes and we had issues with Hello Fresh multiple poor quality ingredients - bumped and bruised vegetables and some of the meat arriving with like 1 or 2 ...

Re: Windows 9 is now Windows 10
I'll be honest, I have recently been considering a switch to using a Linux distro as my main OS, as I have become increasingly annoyed with Windows 11. I don't like how it's full of advertisements for Microsoft 365, or adverts for Microsoft's partners. I also think that the software is still ...

Re: With all the recent inflationary price rises, is there stuff you just won’t pay for now?
It is the end of an era in the Blewatter Household. As of September, we will no longer have Sky. I feel like we, as a family, are not getting any value from Sky anymore, as we don't tend to watch the premium channels, we don't have Cinema or Sports (Aside from F1), and we use Freesat or our ...

Re: U&Gold is failing badly
Gold used to be decent background TV but you got streaming services now, I do wonder just how many people are watching the broadcast channels of a day… it can’t be many , surely?

Re: Windows 9 is now Windows 10
Microsoft is just bad at branding (amongst other things)
I think rebranding Office365 to Microsoft 365 as an act of utter stupidity- you’ve got the trademark for the word “Office”, everybody in business knows that means the Microsoft productivity suite, then they bung it into something much more ...

Re: High Street chain collapse sweepstake
I put TG Jones on the endangered list, just down to the fact that it's the not particularly profitable part of what was WH Smith and the fact the rebrand as a result of the divestment was just so naff.
WH Smith had some provenance in the name, this was just made up by a bunch of people in a ...

Re: More English flags in your area?
It is funny how local councils can find the money to paint over a few red crosses on the mini roundabouts, but not fix all the potholes around them
I've always thought this to be quite a weak retort when it comes to this issue - the cost of repainting white lines etc must be less than that of ...

Re: High Street chain collapse sweepstake
This probably belongs in the other thread, but the Claire's shop in Chesterfield is seriously stuck in the late 90's.
But seriously though, it just seems like they sell overpriced tat to me. I understand they are targeting a certain demographic but I am not exactly sure whom. I highly doubt kids ...

Re: Windows 9 is now Windows 10
At work we’ll need to pay for extended support, probably just for a year on a few machines as they will be complicated to migrate, no pricing yet last time I checked though.
At home, I’ve had Win11 pretty much since it came out, find it annoying, but largely ok. I’ve moved over to MacOS now for ...

Re: What's going on with all this gender stuff?
What has helped the Gender Critical movement substantially is that they have a major ally in author J.K. Rowling who was believed to have bankrolled For Women Scotland's appeal against the Scottish Government.
The other thing which has helped, that can't be understated is what constitutes ...
