Do you guys take your plants out for a bit of sun bathing in the garden (if you have one)? I am thinking about it but then I worry they might attract all sorts from the garden when I bring them back inside.

At this stage I’ll do anything to get ride of them. I have a handful of various types of carnivorous plants but they are a bit of a lazy fuckers.

Apparently you literally just stick a few matches into the soil, the head goes in or course. Will report back in a few weeks or however long it takes to work or doesn’t work...

Re fungus gnats, I went to Nunhead gardener today and one them told me it’s worth trying sticking some match sticks into the soil to try get rid of them. I did a quick google and it seems a sound suggestion. Gonna give it a go.

My mate gave me a big one for my birthday this year! Almost as tall a me! 🥰

How long have you had yours? Mine's not growing much but guess it's because I only get it early winter so really looking forward to this growing season.

I have gotten really good at killing them, not sure if it's a skill I necessarily want to master...

Is FB likely to be banned or go out of business anytime soon...? I don't really use it much these days but... how about the Oculus rift s? I have been reading about the difference between the rift and the quest and other than the fact that quest is a standalone device, it seems the image quality isn't as good as the rift?

I think the Oculus is much more within my price range, it's just for a bit of "lockdown has finally broken me" fun.

I am looking to buy a VR headset, already have a high specs PC as some of you might remember my drama of getting it for my 3D work end of 2019.

Any first hand experience? Anything to look out for in particular?

Might do that! Ta!

Which network was it?

No... 🥺

Cheers! I am on O2 and the reception is shocking!

Bit of a stupid question - I am considering trying 4G as my main WiFi, but before signing up to a deal, I want to try different networks etc because I live in a basement flat and signal isn’t always great. It is just a normal SIM I need. Isn’t it? They are not any kind of special SIMs, are they?

I am looking at some routers on Amazon and they don’t look too bad cost wise...

Clive should cover SW London. His details on my first post.

I should have done this ages ago TBH... but it was one of those things you keep meaning to do but never... I’ll probably end up tidying the list in about 6 months time? 😬

So they have removed the gender for Mr and Mrs Potato Heads, in response to that I have replaced men with people... Happy Friday... If someone could be very kind and tidy up all the contacts, I would be grateful and will update my original post...

Well... they have cancelled my vaccine invite...

This is my situation, the advert says interview will be next week so just waiting to hear. It’s quite common in the jobs I have applied to. Maybe it’s a Higher Ed thing when they need to pull in people from other depts for fairness etc? Not sure...

I will book a slot for as far in the future as they will let me so at least that’s a date set.

The potential side effects. I don’t respond well with a lot of meds etc. I know they are temporary, which is why I want to wait until I hear from a job app so I don’t end up “being ill” for an interview (If I am lucky).

But I am glad I get the offer now, I have been reading up about when asthmatics will get the vaccines and there seem to have been some changes that if your asthma isn’t extremely severe then you are not a at risk group anymore, because we are not at any higher risk than a health person. I am 1 hospital stay away from having to shield because I have been careful... so maybe my GP did some work at the background?

Also the meds we take apparently might offer some protection? I don’t know... I am all confused. So will be masking up and not going out much every after the vaccine and lockdown is over...

Unless your neighbours also have cats in which case, the shitting will eventually even out. 😭

Got a text saying it’s my turn to get the vaccine... a bit anxious about it really... might need to hold off for a couple of weeks after a potential job interview...

I am sorry to hear this. I hope she gets better soon!

Surely you would want to aim for them to shit in someone else’s garden? 😬

So this is what I have done when I need to put Patch in her case and she is hiding under the bed:

Obviously, shut the door and all the windows she can't go to another room. I then turn on the hairdryer and blast it towards under the bed, she usually comes out within seconds. She hates the noise and the wind.

I then swiftly burrito her (basically wrap her in a big towel and put the whole cat burrito into the case)

It always works. Downside? She hates me for about a week afterwards.

I have given up being nice and use treats a long time ago. Good luck.
