Multipigs were great at Glastonbury but the sound was shit in person (dunno about TV). Nova Twins on after them had the most brutal chainsaw bass/guitar tones I’ve heard for years! Midrange that bites chunks out of you whilst stamping on your chest 👌

Do those all count as ISPs and are they all active? Broadband comparison sites quote ‘over 150 providers’ for domestic broadband (which is what we’re talking about here) and 85% of households are with 4 providers, not leaving a lot else to go round… I can’t see a company of 250 being sustainable on a few hundred subscribers. Although I suspect most are inactive or setup to service a single company/building/campus/etc.

Anyway, I agree with all your other points!

Ie the people of the UK? 🥳

I could only find numbers for the US on my phone:
1410 ISPs
271k people employed

Not sure how comparable that is though as the landscape involved is different!

If 3/4 of jobs really are duplicated (and don’t need to scale with customers), surely that’s a great argument for combining? The cost to provide the service will plummet.

Edit: not sure how about this source but it’s way off your numbers - 735 companies, 25.6k employed https://www.ibisworld.com/united-kingdom/market-research-reports/internet-service-providers-industry/

Like water?

it would do the million or so workers who work for those ISPs out of a job (i.e. it's not just shareholders!)

This can’t be right - 3% of all workers in UK are employed by ISPs?!

I’ve just tested positive for the first time - totally baffled by the gov advice. Stay home for 5 days but don’t worry about it if you can’t?! Don’t bother testing even if you think you have it?! Can’t get a free test unless in specific at risk categories but can’t report a result if you buy your own anyway?!

My Friday shot, now I have a data connection!

It’s a bit

I did the ride part of a Bikesafe course on Sunday, 140 miles of mixed roads with a police observer for half of it. Mostly about positioning and interesting to see how much of the road they use and how early they use it but otherwise confirmed that I don’t like riding back lanes that would be ideal for cycling!
Had a squirrel and a fox run out almost into my wheels.

Ratio of steinhart cost to original is 1:20-200 though, this is more like 1:2-3.

Does that mean you get RRP cash or the insurance company has to source a watch? 😂

…bikes?

Not a particularly comfortable cock ring I would imagine.

It’s definitely not very rad.

Which model is it?

I think they said 10 years but I'm not 100% on that as it was over the phone. The insurer is HomeProtect.

There is also a point where insurers consider the work irrelevant - comparison sites aren’t nuanced enough but when I’ve spoken to insurers directly, I’ve been told that they’re not interested in historic work over X years (our house was underpinned late 80s). There remains an increased excess for subsidence (£1k) but the premium itself is not high.

incel energy intensifies

A judgement on a narrow and specific issue, tangential to their actual relationship, does not mean any such thing. It also doesn’t mean all the hostility to her and sympathy for him (based on nothing more than ‘feelings’) is justified.

It’s my fancy occasion watch - least expensive one I own but a special dial.

Yeah! Took me a while to find but really suits it I think. Smart enough for a shirt/suit but doesn’t look odd with short sleeves.

Sun’s out, cocktail time!

Apparently:

Suit, bobble hat, crap shoes. Before we recognised him and he was fiddling with the tent zip, I thought it was a homeless guy living on the beach.

Maybe Goldsmith is in the tent?
