I agree. This website has been very useful and encouraging on my language learning journey.

Technically, no, as in the UK, you can't steal electricity... you can only abstract electricity, which is an offence in its own right. (IANAL)

I'll get my coat.

I was so annoyed to get that email. Never using them again. Going to install a non-smart wireless thermostat, or maybe a HA install if I'm feeling brave.

Not quite a direct answer, but since watching Mortimer and Whitehouse: Gone Fishing, we've enjoyed referring to things in tins/cans as trapped potatoes, trapped beans etc.

It brings me a lot of joy to contribute to OSM. I haven't written anything other than the occasional script for years, so it feels good to help the community in ways like this instead.

I've sunk so many hours into it. Either "armchair mapping" with OSM and the imagery overlays, or (more fun) wandering with the android Street Complete app to fill in gaps when I'm out and about.

We all try to forget!

That's not quite true... just less than half of voting Conservative party members voted for him, preferring instead the steady hand of Liz Truss. Well done there guys.

I'm keen to learn what the other 20% are satisfactory about.

BTW, the duck logo is the duck from Sarah & Duck. It's a brilliant show, and I think can be found on iPlayer.

We've named this duck Martin. Poor chap has a bad wing so we give him double feeding of duck kib when we visit.

Much of my work us collaborative document creation. I'd love to use LibreOffice but try as I might, I can't work out how to connect it to corporate SharePoint sites etc.

Working with MS Word on anything but trivial documents is miserable. So many bugs and weirdnesses. How is it even possible for Word to let its documents become sour using its own file format!

I say "sour" because the documents are still accessible, so not fully corrupted... but over time, weirdnesses creep in such as tables losing their positioning data, cross-references breaking for no reason etc.

The trees are still plotting my demise.
