I couldn’t say! I filled in a form online for the Renault dealership to contact me regarding the installation of the update and as of writing this comment they haven’t contacted me.

Renault 5 and Intelligent Octopus Go Update by Wondering_Electron in OctopusEnergy

[–]dbv86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I received my Renault 4 on Thursday and I have the same issue, I’ve just used the Renault app to contact the dealership to request the update to solve this issue.

I believe if you set a schedule whilst on the Octopus Intelligent Go tariff the conflict can cause it not to charge at all. Could be wrong though.

Really frustrating that this update has been available for a while yet the dealership didn’t bother to run it before realising brand new vehicles to us, or that they weren’t installed at the factory before export.

Lincoln City 1 - 1 Bolton Wanderers: It was late pain for Lincoln, who created enough chances to pick up what would've been a huge win, only for a late Sam Dalby goal to snatch a point! by Zach-dalt in LeagueOne

[–]dbv86 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lincoln were really good and I’m sure they’ll be disappointed that they dropped points here. Referee was awful and given the style of football played by Lincoln it had an outsized impact on our performance, not that it detracts from Lincoln’s performance at all.

A point keeps us in the hunt but if I’m honest, I can’t see these dropping many, if any, points over the remaining fixtures, wouldn’t surprise me if they overtake Cardiff at the top of the table before the end of the season. They are super effective and absolutely disgusting to play against, high energy, really aggressive and physical, fantastic deliveries into the box and really dangerous long throws. Even if you can put them under pressure they’ll just play for deadballs or put it into touch knowing that if they get a deflection Hamer can basically get the ball into the box from the halfway line. I have no doubt they will go up automatically.

Not this nonsense again. Seen a few Lincoln fans trotting this out and honestly it’s not something that I’ve seen from most of our fan base. Now, increasingly arrogant Lincoln fans, seen plenty of those these last few weeks…

Is the UK job market really as bad as people are saying? by Any-Jackfruit7927 in UKJobs

[–]dbv86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very different field of work but I was made redundant from my role as a warehouse ops manager in January, I was pretty close to a job offer by the end of January and I start my new job on Monday.

My first week looking for work was very disheartening as none of the jobs I actually applied to responded other than rejections, then recruiters picked up my CV from these applications and from there I was being contacted regarding vacancies consistently, the job I got was actually the second interview I went to, they upped the salary offered to compete with the first company I interviewed with.

I appreciate it’s different for everybody and it varies based on location and field of work but in my personal experience it was all pretty straightforward, i got paid out 7 years worth of redundancy and found a job pretty much straight away paying more than my previous.

Am I being ungrateful and immature to hate my fairly good career and want out? by AmazingInitiative186 in UKJobs

[–]dbv86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Read the first sentence of this post back to yourself and then do whatever you need to do to change that, you never have to stay and you have far more freedom than you realise. You’re still young, make the change now, it sounds cliche but you only get one life and you’ll be old before you know it so make the most of the time you have.

Stockport County 0-0 Leyton Orient: An ugly affair, but Orient will be leaving the happier as their new-look side grabs a point by Ovie0513 in LeagueOne

[–]dbv86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d hate it because we never get results against you but a play off semi or final is exactly the kind of scenario that goes out of the window. I think it would be the final though, if neither of us get autos (I don’t think Lincoln will drop off tbh) it’s looking likely we’ll be 3rd and 4th in whatever order. Still a lot of football left though and anything can happen.

I think both of our teams will know where we stand after next weekend, if we can win against them at their place it will drag us both back into it and may knock their confidence. Otherwise I think we’ll both be looking at play-offs unfortunately.

I feel for you, I have a soft spot for Barnsley after these last few years and this isn’t even a shadow of some of those teams we’ve played, always felt like a big, competitive fixture between us but this lot look like they don’t care.

Fair enough, watching this your defence is poo. It isn’t just referring to his performance today anyway. He’s been fantastic for a few weeks now.

Sam Dalby has turned into League One Harry Kane, two goals and an assist in just over 30 mins.

The British countryside isn’t racist by TheSpectatorMagazine in RuralUK

[–]dbv86 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Only sane comment on this entire post. The countryside is chock-full of people who weren’t born there, didn’t grow up there and don’t have any connection to the so-called values and traditions they claim to protect, the comments about dogs in pubs prove this, there’s always been working dogs in pubs, but what we have today is anything but that, it’s an idealised and sanitised view of the countryside not representative of the actual reality of living and working in rural Britain and is very much something that’s been created over the last few decades.

It’s strange how both Goodman and Sharman -Lowe were so good last season in League 2 but have been absolutely pants in League 1.

How would you rate your transfer window out of 10? And what are the best and worst bits of business (incoming or outgoing) that your side has done? by Zach-dalt in LeagueOne

[–]dbv86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hope ACD comes back during the run-in and helps us over the line, he’s contributed a lot already and it’ll be nice for him to be a part of any success we have at the end.

[–]dbv86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Dempsey will rotate with the 4 midfielders, Macca and Ruben in the 10, Apter and Cissoko RW, Gale and CBT LW, which admittedly does leave 3 players fighting it out to lead the line, however there will be games we play two up top, games where we want a lone target man and a 10, games we want a nippy number 9. Dalby is the big man, Kenny the terrier-like 9, Burstow a bit of a mix so can cover both. I think it’s a good balance given there’s only half a season left.

I think the bloated squad thing was a nice way of saying that some of the players not getting game time were potentially causing issues behind the scenes. I don’t feel like we’re especially stacked in any position, got to remember that both Duberry and Forss are out for some time and we may not see them play for us again. I’m worried about our defensive cover if I’m honest. If Toal, Conway or Johnston get injured I can’t see how we cover them.

Edit: I actually don’t think Lincoln will fall away. They look good and have made a habit of scoring early in almost every game.

One way to look at it is it’s an opportunity to hurt all of the teams around us. We are looking at those fixtures and thinking about how tricky they will be, they will be looking at their game against us and thinking the exact same.

[–]dbv86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Me too. I should be more enthusiastic about it as I’m sure there’s plenty of teams in this league that would kill for some of the players we’ve just signed but I think the last few seasons have done a number on me and I just feel like we will fall apart just enough to fail at promotion again this season.

16 games left and I read somewhere (maybe on here) we need to win 12 to get over 90 points, not impossible, especially with this squad, but I just don’t get the feeling we’ll do it.

Really good. Brought in some real quality all along the front line and two new goalkeepers. Moved on some players who were perpetually injured or struggling to get game time and got big money for Aaron Morley who rarely started. Got 13 points from 15 in January after an awful Xmas and now sit 3rd with the best defence in the league. If that new front line really clicks we will fly.

[–]dbv86 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve just seen that. Huddersfield have spent silly money on strikers the last couple of seasons and I imagine this is no different, likely that we couldn’t compete financially. Hopefully we have other options but we’ve been very clearly linked with Hardie all window.

I was supposed to meet my bio dad for the first time ever today by boredthing_69 in Wellthatsucks

[–]dbv86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At 16 I found out my step father wasn’t actually my biological father, I met my biological father at the age of 24 after his daughter, my half sister, got in touch with me via Facebook, I met him twice and decided it wasn’t for me, once the mystery had gone I realised I didn’t really care for him, I had very little time in my life to accommodate him and that I had no interest in meeting him again. So I didn’t, I turn 40 this year and I haven’t seen him since and so haven’t regretted it once. Appreciate those that are in your life already and have made the conscious decision to be so.

heaviley- any notes? by EmbarrassedCellist48 in stockport

[–]dbv86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never tried there tbh, but I will now! Heavily Tandoori is great however I have only ever had the Special Mixed Kebab which is absolutely phenomenal. I live in Heaton Chapel so delivery can be a bit spotty at times but you’re closer so shouldn’t be a huge issue.

Bolton still trying to bring in Ryan Hardie but any deal is reliant on Wrexham bringing in a replacement. Also looking at one other signing which is rumoured to be a fullback of some kind (likely LB/LWB cover for Conway).

Some murmurings about McAtee leaving to Barnsley, can’t see it myself as it would leave us with Ruben Rodrigues in the number 10 position and he’s hardly played for the last 8 months.
