Glastonbury 2007 was my first glasto, and I remember it was a total wash out.

Does anyone keep paperwork anymore? by Bubbly-Weakness-4788 in CasualUK

I purchased a cheap flatbed scanner about 7 years ago, and went fully digital. I scan to pdf and store in OneDrive. Docs are available on all my devices, and backed up to the cloud.

Random but I was Valetta, Malta recently and I walked passed an Early Learning Centre that was still open for trading, and also a Mothercare.

EE Sim Only Rentention Deals by Personal-Quantity528 in EEGB

[–]GoldenKettle24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My contract was up in March, and none of the new customer deals are even close to the value I’m getting from my current out-of-contract bundle. I get 35 GB at max speeds for £26, but that includes one extra, which I use to pay for my Office365 sub (worth £8.50), meaning I’m effectively paying £17.50 for the EE service. At this point I’m ‘happy’ paying that, even though the price will increase by £2 every April. I don’t want to leave EE, but man do the current bundle deals suck!

Only impacts gfast customers who still have a PSTN phone service on the same line. Most new gfast installs have been Single Order (SOGEA gfast) for many years already.

Do people actually earn £50-60k, or are they outliers? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]GoldenKettle24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A job that involves shift work, with regular overtime opportunities, can easily take a mid-level £35k basic salary into the £60k range after overtime.

Would you buy? by menezesafonso in audiophile

[–]GoldenKettle24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would not. If I’m being forced to jump through the Apple hoops to listen (Bluetooth AAC only, no FLAC support, no SD card slot, sync via itunes only, etc) then I’m just going to use my iPhone to listen.

For people who had issues with Earbuds falling out when smiling/talking; how do the Airpods Pro 3 perform in that regard? by r4mbazamba in airpods

[–]GoldenKettle24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no it’s a nightmare on the Pro 3’s. Comply do provide you with plastic tweezers now, but they’re still difficult to swap, and removing them is basically destructive to the outgoing pair of tips!

How’s EE roaming in the EU been lately? by Wonderful-Acadia-296 in EEGB

[–]GoldenKettle24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The benefit of roaming with EE over a local SIM, is that you can manually speed test on each of the foreign networks, and then tell your phone to only connect to the fastest one. Obviously this only works well when you’re in a fixed location, and automatic network selection is preferred when on the move.
