Morning folks,
Mild Thursday hangover with associated wind is in evidence today. My head is cold as I was shorn last night. Another early start today, will be out for a couple of hours to take the girl in to school around midday. Other than that not much happening. Onwards and upwards...

    Morning peeps, late night, got to sleep around 5. God help anyone who annoys me today, phone has been muted.

    One for the shirkers, can anyone recommend a good sound play system be in Sonos or Bose I don't really care. but essentially I want to be able to have something I can play music through from my phone/pc in the house. I'd prefer not to create an entire home server

    Current place has a wired system which will have to stay and isn't fit for purpose anyway.

    How portable or otherwise do you want?

    This plus some extra speakers of your choice should do a nice job... https://www.naimaudio.com/mu-so

    Or more portable.. these are nice... http://www.bowers-wilkins.net/Wireless-Speakers/Wireless-Speakers/Zeppelin-Wireless

    Anyway, my turdsday is now being disruprted by adverts on BR. I had firefox set up perfectly to block all the loreal adverts and guff that apears at the bottom however in a hissy fit FF has rebooted and lost all my addons.

    I added a few back but can't get rid of the damn things...

    Help...

    I gave up on FF for that and now my default browser is Opera and it is a great browser to get around once you get used to it.
    Then download a**dblock plus for Opera. I get the odd static ad but none of the annoying/page jumping all over the place ads that make you click on what you never intended to click on.

    Easy to empty your browser cache with Opera - essential for watching live streaming. Easy to put the icons that you want on your personal Opera 'home page'. Easy to place bookmarks and get rid of them at a later date. None of the MSN/Yahoo style home page with crap news and the none story sucker headlines. I just added BR and the sites that I use most regularly to the home page, nothing gets foisted on you and if they place the odd 'auto recommended/sponsored site (it's almost an app style, with icons for all the web sites you put on it) you can just delete them. You can select what default search enging to use like other browsers.

    I thoroughly recommend Opera.

    Anyways, will go pedalling just as soon as this 'orrible grey cloud f*cks off.

    Laters.

    I don't mind cold weather but I wish this round would just **** off now it's March. Took a good 3 miles to get some heat into the legs this morning, but once up to temperature it was fine.

    Spent part of this morning wrestling with the Dutch again, then the rest negotiating contract clauses with a big Indian customer, complete PITA to deal with. At least I kept cool, our sales director lost his rag with them at one point which was quite amusing.

    Onwards to more coffee and an early finish. Big board presentation tomorrow.

    Ok, not 100% accurate but I did the best I could with a piece of wood, plastic pipe and the end of a garden hose.

    I just went to quote your reply to the hissy fit someone had about an advert in which you recommended FF. Unfortunately, but not surprisingly, that thread seems to have been deleted.

    Hmm, that comment just came back and bit me on the arse didn't it as I'm currently trying to avoid clicking on a website which gives me tips on how to retire at 55.

    Who wants to retire at 55? Now if it said 50 I might have a peek.

    8 tips to retire at 55? I can think of a few. Have a secure job that pays well, invest wisely, don't spunk all your money on birds and booze, buy a winning lottery ticket, etc.

    I'd rather enjoy myself than just save for an early retirement.

    Sell your over valued house in London, buy one up here with change in your pocket and retire now to pedal on quiet roads. The daughter will thrive on fresh air.

    As if either of those two options have any impact on achieving an early retirement :roll:

    My comment was aimed more at the kind of thing that is probably in the link HD was talking about.
