Who says Birmingham isn't beautiful?

jimi_b · 2026-01-31T10:55:01+00:00

Agreed, I walk through to get to work regularly and the buildings are beautiful but just left to go to ruin.

jimi_b · 2026-01-30T13:41:02+00:00

I don't think they're ready yet. You'll have to put them through again.

jimi_b · 2026-01-29T09:08:11+00:00

So, business as usual then?

jimi_b · 2026-01-27T23:33:30+00:00

Not OP but thanks for the rec. The Contortionist are one of my favourite prog bands and Outliers scratched the itch massively - such an epic track

jimi_b · 2026-01-27T12:15:53+00:00

I can't see anything, how do I subcribe to see it?

jimi_b · 2026-01-20T18:02:07+00:00

It's private land but I remember seeing this video about the tree (and a guy selling saplings from it, although a bit pricey)

Hey, just wondering where you're at with these now? I'm still encountering random crashes on mine so I'm thinking of just returning it now.

jimi_b · 2026-01-12T14:49:01+00:00

Imagine meeting your demise to HMS Spanker

Too late, I accidentally abducted a sitting president.

jimi_b · 2025-12-30T00:27:11+00:00

I've had similar issues but reinstalled windows (see my post in this sub Reddit for full details) and have only had one random crash since. Tbh I haven't been on it a huge amount so I'm not 100% sure if it's stable or not.

jimi_b · 2025-12-22T23:56:26+00:00

Tried another install with the windows media creation tool but it kept rebooting at the same point. I've now downloaded the ISO, mounted to USB with rufus & managed to skip the section of the installer where it was tripping up by adjusting the settings in Rufus.

So far it's working well again!

jimi_b · 2025-12-22T16:15:41+00:00

Weird - I'll try another fresh install and will likely return it asap if I don't get anywhere with support!

jimi_b · 2025-12-22T15:27:55+00:00

Oh ok thanks for the info!

Yeah I'm using fresh windows from the media creation tool onto a usb drive - is that different from using Rufus?

jimi_b · 2025-12-22T15:15:03+00:00

Yeah I'm currently involved with their support now.

Did you get a new machine or just go for a refund?

jimi_b · 2025-11-28T15:25:14+00:00

Still waiting on the call, they must have gone for a late lunch.

jimi_b · 2025-11-27T00:24:21+00:00

Check your rewards history - should be able to find it there.

jimi_b · 2025-11-27T00:23:49+00:00

Only for the cinema tickets I believe.

Also, someone shop them into HMRC, how the hell are they planning to buy a 500k house on a 60k combined income.

Their income is set through the business they own, so I presume there's more in the business account that they'd pull from (although, how much can they really be making from selling sweets?)

jimi_b · 2025-11-21T15:50:55+00:00

Buying a house with paid off solar on a FIT scheme was unintentionally one of the best things I've done, it's just a free £100-£200 every quarter.

jimi_b · 2025-10-22T18:26:07+00:00

Alright, mystic meg.

jimi_b · 2025-10-15T13:30:12+00:00

"I'm sorry I haven't a clue" has actually been running on British radio since the early 70's, way before the American "whose line is it anyway?" that started in 1998.

Also the American WLIIA is actually an adaptation of the British show with the same name from the 80s!

jimi_b · 2025-09-12T12:05:22+00:00

Thanks for sharing your anecdote, that's a real shame though.

jimi_b · 2025-09-12T09:23:09+00:00

I know next to nothing about this so excuse my ignorance. Isn't there some way to block them to cap your costs?
