Well you aint missing much....

Part of the issue is that he went out of his way for a 1v4. If he ignored them and carried on walking, nothing would of happened. I doubt the police will care very much as they have more important things to deal with like chasing e-thugs on twitter for hatespeech against the lgbt crowd. This current political climate has been empowering closet racists for a long time.

Im not saying that if you were racially abused that you should just accept it. But going in for a 1v4 aint the best move. You may speak with your mind. But others speak with their fists. You cant predict the outcome of any confrontation or expect the confronted party to remain civil. He's lucky he wasnt stabbed.

The irony of your LGBT reference... In Singapore you can be arrested for being a homosexual. And being in a physical relationship can result in jail time. Anyhoo, enough of the factual reasons why we should lay off the Daily Mail sensationalism about how much time our bobbies spend going after e-thugs, and spend some time reflecting on how racist Britain is and always has been for a great many people. The same narrow-minded morons who attacked the student are also the same types who would attack 'anything' not in their blinkered viewpoint. And our press-media and political overlords have made it this way.

It's also massively ironic, that Mrs Patel is our home secretary. Bojo's attack hound whose parents (she has admitted) would unlikely have gotten into the UK under her new immigration proposals.

Before we go complete political and get told off again, all i'll say is a 1v4 is never going to end well unless you're a UFC/MMA fighter and you would think people will stop targeting people that look "asian" now seeing a british caucasian doctor was tested positive and even now people who are coming back from Italy who are potentially caucasian as you can be coming back from meetings or planned vacation being tested positive will shift the blame away a little.
But nope you will always get the group of minority that are racist in any country and they will find any means to target their hate towards you with whatever new excuse being made.

There is apparently 1 Covid-19 in my area now..guess i'll be go hide in my bedroom for month..jokes i'm try get on with my daily live and just wash my hands more and hope I don't get attacked going to Tescos/gym now.
Anyways...hows everyone week doing? I actually went to Westfield London on Monday to park up to go to the O2 shepherds bush to watch a performance, on my way to the venue though I did have a slight anxiety worry over people giving me weird but overall it went smooth. On my way back though didn't realise their was a giant japanese(Ichiba) market/restaurant there..so a trip back to westfield London in April bank holiday is happening..

Hi guys, so here's the deal: got a virgin media hub 3, Wi-Fi is terrible (signal dropping off, bad reception 2 rooms away). What I would like to do is make it better on a budget. Does anyone have any recommendations on the subject?

House has 2 floors and is of medium size. If you require more info, please let me know.

Thanks!

You can pay more or less depending if you already got a corresponding AV600 adaptor. or you can go the MESH route but that will cost you around £80 ish

I hope everyone is doing ok??

I'm shattered and off to bed but I hope to have a bit of an easier day tomorrow at work so hopefully I'll be a bit more around on the forums

Take it easy everyone

Been busy at work at the moment, parents aren't having the best of time at the takeaway.
No doubt the UK will go into lockdown soon..i'm still predicting end of next week.

 

[phill]

It's been weird at work but still going there for the moment Hopefully we can get to go home soon!!

 

[the54thvoid]

Rumour mill is kicking off at my work. Suggesting notification on Friday of a two-week quarantine, similar to euro countries. No going out except for vital supplies. Which I guess is beer and pizza?

 

[phill]

I'm not sure what is happening with my place of work, seems to be changing hourly at times lol

How is everyone otherwise??

 

[kurosagi01]

My office pretty much told us to work from home unless you need to physically need to be in the office(R&D in automotive and motorsport) so i've been working from home since yesterday, i'll be planning to head back in next week though as I need to do some testing on some hardware provided our buddy Boris tells us we are in lockdown on Sunday.

 

[khemist]

I'm a postie and phoned in sick this morning, started feeling unwell last night, i highly doubt royal mail will shut down no matter what but i wasn't going in to spread whatever i've got.

On Virgin too, with the same sort of WiFi issues. The hub has improved over time but still terrible at times. I suggest installing their Virgin Media Connect app and testing WiFi through that. If it finds the signal is low, they can send you a booster for free (some caveats, read Ts&Cs, and it isn’t a be all and end all). It can help, and if it costs you nothing and helps, that’s all the better.

I’m still considering a new setup entirely where the Hub 3 is just in modem mode, with a cheaper mesh network setup. The one @FreedomEclipse mentioned is a start for boosting, but another £30-40 on top of that will get you a low end mesh network.

Non gigabit Ethernet connections for £89.99, though it may limit your internet speed, since Virgin provides over 100Mbps: TP-Link Deco E4

Gigabit Ethernet connections for £99.99, which shouldn’t bottleneck it as much: TP-Link Deco M4

There are more expensive options that use PowerLine to connect to each other, but I figure the above should be a good start for now.

Well folks, we're pretty much in lockdown - as much as it doesn't bother me (I don't go out much). As long as I can buy beer, I'm good. Stop the beer and my life is over.

 

[phill]

I do mostly desktop support and somehow, I'm apparently working from home Tuesday next week... Will be interesting considering the fact I've been on holiday today and another day booked for Monday, I never took my laptop or anything home with me lol

I mean... Common sense seems to be out the window for the most part right now....

@khemist I hope you feel better soon

I've had a rather nice day today with my daughter, we went out to the park and had a walk around for an hour.. Had a swing, few slides, bit of time on a roundabout, I mean life is pretty full you know How's everyone else been today??

I see we are in a bit of a lock down from this evening...

@the54thvoid I hardly drink so please have my beer!!

Around 13 posties self isolating in our office and the number is going to get a lot bigger, lots of deliveries failing and parcels are busier than christmas with people stuck at home ordering lots of stuff they don't need, don't bank on anything you order getting delivered on time.

That's fine with me, I've not ordered anything in weeks!!

You can amuse yourself building a new system everyday with all your spare parts until this blows over.

I would definitely rather be in Phil's shoes today, so much to do.

I did have a bit of a change around today and I've been a bit better in that I'm finally testing some RAM I'd bought a few months ago.. What with all the sun at the moment, servers and most of the PCs have been on today getting some folding and crunching done Been a shame that the FAH client has been hardly doing anything mind, only one job at a time... but if loads of others are doing it, I don't feel so bad

I am certainly well prepared for any issues resulting in lock down when it comes to hardware and being able to keep busy I just hope it's sunny so I can do it for free

Well we are now in lockdown, i'm forced to work from home until further notice as my office has closed it doors for now.
Hows everyone doing? Going try exercise 2-3 times a week and eat a little less to try maintain physique now..not the greatest of joy and sucks for those that do regularly exercise outdoor to only be limit to once a week.

 

[khemist]

It's a good time to catch up on movies and TV and play some games, i'm back at work tomorrow delivering with only a pair of gloves to protect me if i'm lucky.

I'm finding it a little funny being a desktop support person and working from home... Sure is interesting to do I'm trying to control what I eat likewise as I'm not trying to put on masses of weight with being stuck at home.. It'll be a matter of self control

Sophia my 1 year old, has made that interesting when playing games... She likes trying to eat the controller We were meant to have all the protection and such but nothing has ever turned up... Always fun...

I wish I was able to get out that long but I'm not sure the misses would appreciate even more time on her own What bike do you use for the cycle? Road or mountain?
