French maverick sniffs around O2

Re: Shouldn't O2

My work phone says O2 so tempted to ask BT about it as they now do mobile again.

Just like the post office offered me internet so I said I was with them already as I had BT Infinity!

I love confusing companies

Shouldn't O2

be owned by BT rather than whateer EE is?

Re: Energy in = energy out

I chose the Mirlees due to high efficiency. And they had to work a bit to fit in the loading gauge.

And I don't think the Napier Delic is that fuel efficient, just very light and compact for the power.

MJI Silver badge

Re: Energy in = energy out

Rail traction reached similar figures in the 90s. The last British built Diesels were acheiving this.

Howver a Mirlees straight 8 will not fit any car

Cult of celebrity

Well I saw a link listing who was wanted for a series of celebrity big brother and the link mentioned the Egypt hijacking.

So curosity lead me to look and what was worrying was that the most famous ones were the hijack selfie chap and the roadraging Ronnie.

I don't

I just see the term and wonder what it is.

MJI Silver badge

Who are all these people?

Osbornes

That is easy Ozzy and his manager, seen his band live in the 80s.

Cardassians

Antagonists in ST DSN, commonly called Spoon Heads, I think one of Spandau Ballet may have been one, well they did look like Dukat.

AFAIK Hilton is a porn actress, apart from that no idea.

So out of all of these I would recognise the ex Black Sabbath singer and the aliens.

British newspapers

Funny really, I just have a look to see what is happening.

Mail is not that bad really, you can access it unlike some of News International sites.

I ignore the gutter press (eg Sun).

Mail and Express are pretty similar and to be honest a bit funny, you cannot take them serilously.

Independant is turning into Metro, which is not as good as it was for one section Games Central.

Guardian is a bit up its own bum but OK. Telegraph is OK.

However BBC is one of the better UK news outlets.

But all news outlets do seem to be getting worse than they were.

And if you want to blame anyone, blame the people who bought the inferior video cassette format.

Yes that is why Sony bought into media, to make sure they could sell their hardware.

This is ONE reason why Blu Ray beat HD-DVD, Sony did not want a repeat of the sales failure of Betamax. It was a better format than Vhs, a LOT better.

Re: "...bathrooms across North Carolina were 'safe' again."

Yes but it needs a bath to be a bathroom!

Or are you bathing in a urinal trench?

MJI Silver badge

Re: "...bathrooms across North Carolina were 'safe' again."

But calling toilets a bathroom is wrong.

I have a bathroom in my house, there is a bath

I also have a downstairs toilet.

They are public toilets, just call them that, you go in there to go to toilet, not take a bath, nor have a rest.

MJI Silver badge

Toilets

I still remember at primary school, the boys was closed, so I used the girls, and got told off.

I needed a pee.

So I used a toilet.

MJI Silver badge

Re: "...bathrooms across North Carolina were 'safe' again."

I do not want a bath in public.

THEY ARE PUBLIC TOILETS
