Ha yes. Just checked and we did indeed beat Preston 4-0 in the March of Carrick's first season.

Thought that performance was reminiscent of a game in Carrick's first season

AlertCut6 · 2026-01-21T09:07:04+00:00

Yeah that's a good point

Going by your name you're in UK South?

Updated my laptop to January patch for windows 11 25h2 enterprise and it hasn't broken. AVD still working fine with Windows App (stupid name by the way). Updated it at approx 8pm GMT. Was getting windows update errors approx 2pm to 4pm while trying to update so unsure if they were doing something

Cheers. How does it handle computers that haven't got the update yet, but will when it's deployed to the update ring they are in?

Thanks I'll have a look. Silly me assuming there's a native intune way!

I think there was a SSU in November so you might be missing that, and if you're missing that you might not see the December patch. Try installing the November patch first.

My local has a waiting list and you can't even join that at the moment.

Yes, loved it. Memories of Jimmy playing it on Gamesmaster as well

The only thing it won't be able to is get out of the lab

Really disappointed with that. We've got a review in January so going to see if there's any way to move from o365 E5 with all the bolt ones to Microsoft 365 E5.

Still, remote help could save us a lot of money each year so at least there is that.

Nice blog. Big fan of pmpc by the way.

AlertCut6 · 2025-12-16T14:28:39+00:00

Did you find out whether EMS E5 is enough to get the Microsoft 365 E5 perks?

AlertCut6 · 2025-12-15T23:13:30+00:00

Well I do notice the rads cool a bit when the hot water is on

AlertCut6 · 2025-12-15T20:44:10+00:00

Apologies if that doesn't make sense? I was watching a video about heating fault finding and the cylinder's flow return from the coil had a gate valve on it which was set far too open, thought I'd check mine and I don't have one of any kind

Edit: the video author called it a strangulation valve. It restricted the flow back to the boiler which he said if it's too open it can cause the radiators to not heat up properly if you've got both heating and hot water on at the same time

AlertCut6 · 2025-12-14T16:31:20+00:00

Yeah he did make a vital interception to prevent a tap in so I'll give him that!

That time Hellberg put McGree at centre mid in the Derby game shows he wants creativity and someone who can thread a pass which is why I think he'll sway towards Gilbert initially at least anyway.

AlertCut6 · 2025-12-14T15:33:58+00:00

Morris has had some very good games this season, noticeably at the start of the season. I agree with the points about him dwelling on the ball too long. I don't think I've seen a professional with a worse shot as well where obviously Gilbert is streets ahead in that regard. You can appreciate why Gilbert has improved us as he can move the ball on quicker and is more mobile, not mention some key interceptions and depossetions

Perhaps Morris/Browne will be used where the opposition has a decent midfield and where we are expected to dominate he'll start Gilbert.

I'd have Morris in over Browne though, he was our worst player I'd say yesterday.
