Well I grew up there so I think that counts! Besides it was also my nick-name when I served in the Forces.

He's a bit fit, that Brum lad.... I can offer a luxurious, comfy hug that he never could. It does look like he could offer many other things than that, though.


Nay, sir, keep your cricket bat held high (or whatever you do in cricket).


I fancy a pint later on, anyone?

No, no. Winter is mating season (or at least that's when the courting starts - Spring is when you see the...er...offspring). I reckon the singletons (me) start accepting that yet another summer has passed and the high temps and high spirits which bring the promise of love are no more, and so a more proactive, pragmatic approach is required. It's an unwillingness to accept yet another year of defeat, another New Years Eve with nobody to kiss, another cold dark winter with nobody who wants to warm their hand (and heart) in yours. As the happy couples wrap up warm, and become enclosed in their hibernatory burrows and warrens, it's time for those who have not managed to gather their nuts over autumn (if you will) to venture ever further, try ever harder, to provide for themselves through the coming hardships.


Yes, fellow solitary explorers, it is time for us to strike out; to find new lands. To perhaps find warm, sweet pastures on which to nourish our faintly beating hearts.


So, who's for the pub?

    • Sophie, I have to thank you for bringing me squarely into 2025.  I was aware of 4G/5G USB dongles for single computers, and of being able to use smartphones for tethering 4G/5G, but hadn't realised that the four mobile networks were now providing home hub/routers, effectively mimicking the cabled broadband suppliers.  I'd personally stick to calling the mobile networks 4G/5G rather than wifi, so as not to confuse them with the wifi that we use within home or from external wifi hotspots. 4G/5G is a whole diffferent, wide-area set of  networks, and uses its own distinct wavebands. So, when you're saying wi-fi, I assume you're actually referring to the wide-area networks, and that it's not a matter of just having poor connections within your home local area network, or a router which is deficient.   If any doubt, the best test will be with a computer connected directly to the router by cable; possibly  trying different locations as well. Which really leaves me with only one maybe useful thing to say.  :) The Which pages at https://www.which.co.uk/reviews/broadband/article/what-is-broadband/what-is-4g-broadband-aUWwk1O9J0cW look pretty useful and informative. They include local area quality of coverage maps for the four providers (including 5G user reports I think) , where they say (and I guess it too is pretty common knowledge): Our survey of the best and worst UK mobile networks found that the most common issues mobile customers have are constantly poor phone signal and continuous brief network dropouts – and in fact no network in our survey received a five star rating for network reliability. 
    • 5G has a shorter range and is worse at penetrating obstacles between you and the cell tower, try logging into the router and knocking it back to 4G (LTE) You also need to establish if the problem is WiFi or cellular. Change the WiFi from 5GHz to 2.4GHz and you will get better WiFi coverage within your house If your WiFi is fine and moving to 4G doesn't help then you might be in a dead spot. There's lots of fibre deployed in East Dulwich
    • Weve used EE for the past 6 years. We're next to Peckham Rye. It's consistent and we've never had any outages or technical issues. We watch live streams for football and suffer no lags or buffering.   All the best.
