Fair enough. I'm not as anti-apple as my initial comment sounded. I do think the M series macs are really good computers, but i don't want to be in one ecosystem or another, and i can't justify the price.


Though the M4 Mac Mini at £599 is an essentially unbeatable bang for your buck, from ...

as someone who likes cooking but not meal planning, researching recipes or shopping, I quite like them now and again just to mix things up a bit, and to save having to get a bunch of ingredients you wouldn't otherwise be using. I don't think we've ever paid full price for one, mind.

What I probably ...

AmazonFresh (still clinging on for now?) have doors on their alcohol sections too, but I think that's so they can do their age verification.

One of the Tesco Extras near me now has their spirits in a glass cabinet where you need to press a button and wait a few seconds for it to open, is it like this anywhere else? I'm guessing they must have had booze stolen and this, somehow, is meant to help prevent it.

Just saw a TV ad for Halifax bank, with what looked like an updated logo on it - it's no longer stripy and has a new font.


I normally log in to Bank of Scotland's online banking, but had cause to use the Halifax-skinned version of it today, and see that they're still using the old branding on ...

A bit like the advert for caffeinated shampoo, which makes no mention of why you might want to put ...

Pres Café now has a rule stating that "Pres Café reserves the right to restrict the access of accounts of users who access the forum via anonymous proxy services or VPN."


They already have, haven't they?

I use the Google One VPN on my phone - as far as I know if I'm in the UK it connects via a ...

was the the kids' bike hire company? The idea is that it saves you the cost of buying a new bike every time your child outgrows the previous one - just rent one and swap it for a bigger one as and when required. The economics can make sense, but a decent kids' bike does hold its value fairly well ...

I didn't know you needed a licence for such a thing, but that does explain the one solitary store in Spitalfields.

As I may have mentioned before, AmazonFresh had been reducing their own-label fresh stuff over the last year in favour of a ragtag mix of Morrisons and Booths, though the ambient range ...

A colleague (in his early 40s) recently referred to his 'carphone'.
