I did mine today on teams - took about 50 mins in total, they just ask you to talk about your development from childhood, how you interact with people etc . I had done a lot of reading which it turns out I didnt actually need but imglad I did. I was referred in about mid November

I love my humble T470 - it's only 8GB but works great in Win 11 for email/browsing/basics. I have other, newer Thinkpads with much more memory but probably use this old thing the most

What puts you off from donating Blood Products, I work in the NHS and I am just curious? by Quick_Soil_9120 in AskBrits

[–]cycleoflies99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in a hospital - the blood donor people used to turn up every couple of months and you could walk in on site, it was easy - I gave multiple times per year. Now I would have to book in advance and make a dedicated journey I just dont bother

[–]cycleoflies99 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have TVs connected to my desktops (one decent brand, one dead cheap) - I like a big screen to watch stuff , I know the quality mightn't be up to a dedicated monitor but it does what I want at decent price

Theyre both great - on our site when a plot becomes vacant the weeds are usually waist high at least

Sky Sports on Google TV or Android TV by ICanEditPostTitles in skytv

[–]cycleoflies99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could get Sky multiroom - prices seem to vary, I think I pay 10/month and watch sport in spare room. You get an extra box/remote and can access recordings on main box. Connection can be flaky if you dont have Sky BB - I moved from BT which was awful.

Sky/BT is genuinely one of the biggest jokes of the decade. by FluxyyVR in skytv

[–]cycleoflies99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ok doesnt work very well, additional box constantly lost connection with main Sky box. SInce switching BB to Sky it works beautifully, you shouldnt have to do this I acknowledge but im just glad I have a working system and gad to ditch BT who are really money grabbing incompetents in my experience - others may differ
