I see what you're getting at now, jrussel.


If I may present my own parallel experience:


The other day I had a disagreement with an orange, who I accused of behaving exactly like Celine Dion. I understand that there are differences between oranges and Celine Dion (geographical origin, accents, cruel thin nose etc) but in the context of our disagreement - first and foremost - and without (herewith) no further ado, I, er..


And other nonsensical made-up stuff.

You need to try a bit harder with your analogy. To start with, you need to explain the context of your disagreement. Otherwise I cannot comment and you are really just wasting everyone's time.

What's the context of your disagreement Dogster?


I'm assuming it's one of the following:

(a) Can't tell the difference in accent

(b) Think everyone who is doing 'something' (unspecified) is Ozzie

© Think that everyone in the world is a figment of your imagination and you can label them as you wish without redress


If (a) then there's no need to tell people they have no identity, just tell them you can't differentiate their accent.

If (b) then as per your request to Bob, please tell us what that 'something' is, and we'll try and help.

If © then see a psychologist as you have no friends to help you.


I suspect the underlying problem is ©, but it's exacerbated by (a), and that you're pretending it's (b) because that means you can blame everyone else.

I shall expand.


I don't like oranges (excluding Satsumas & Clementines), as I find them difficult to peel and they make my fingers all sticky.

I don't like Celine Dion, as she is difficult to peel and makes my fingers all sticky.

So, whilst I am happy to recognise that there are differences between Celine Dion and oranges, in the context of how they both make me feel - ie angry - there are no differences between Celine Dion and oranges (excluding Satsumas & Clementines)


I hope this is now clear enough for you.

Yes, it would seem to be true, on the basis of the information given, to say that in the context of how they make you feel, there is no difference between the orange and Celine Dion.


So? What is your point?

    • With fibre you are paying for the speed, which is the number, yours is 300 so if you did a lot of gaming, for example, you would want the fastest possible.  If it's just office work or maybe streaming on Netflix you likely won't need as fast, but, if there are a lot of people in your house all doing their own thing on different devices, then faster speeds are better.  I don't rely on my Wi-Fi much other than when I am using my mobile.  I use Ethernet cables to connect up everything, I Have one cable running from my router, along the skirtings and through a hole I drilled in the wall to another room.  I have attached the plusnet speed guide which gives you an idea of how it works.   
    • I'd reread what you posted and try to summarise.  It just comes across as a rant.
    • Just shows, to me, once proud to be a citizen of UK.. now.. well if we pay/contribute to services - nhs, police, fire etc and folk who have made this there home - no matter what creed or culture.. for the love c of God, can someone  please explain to me.. how we have working royals who like them or not, have tried and continue to actually support and make a change and then we have Andrew.. who just destroys everything.. not just him, or royalty but his own children..  I had great admiration for The Queen - and respect.. as have a huge number of people.. but.. these old traditions where gosh.. live rent free and can’t get chucked out until I believe 2070? From what I scanned..well he has and continues to have it all.. has to go thru what old rules? Etc.  doubt very much he has even kept the upkeep maintenance up on his abode.. and do the shite keeps on pulling up.. What has Andrew done for UK or for that matter since he was 20?? Do please tell me       Totally off topic, before anyone jumps down my throat.. I just do not get how anyone is proud to be British at this point in time. Whoever is in power, seems to be able to help themselves to the public purse with no redress at all - Covid is a great example of lining of pockets.. Millions  given to Rowanda, so one is led to believe, to help with refugee problem and one can’t get a plane load off!  I simply do not get it at all. Use of food banks in UK growing yearly, homeless as well, nhs, police, fire service etc all on their knees..        
    • Have applied the green roof at a number of properties and no issues you are concerned about detected. Have issues with cats defecating in the vicinity, however, they are not selecting the green roof specifically. Use decent compost, slow release fertiliser specific for green roofs, and lay it methodically not leaving blank patches. It looks amazing when cared for and adds value.
