I’m using the My Movies app too and like it a lot… but I’ve really only just started out so not much on there yet

I can never resist popping into a charity shop in the hunt for Blu-rays if I happen to be near one.

I don’t really have many yet but after being burnt one too many times by crappy streaming services or digital purchases that you don’t really own I’m just keeping an eye for deals on physical media instead.

I do inevitably digitise them for easy playback but I’ve always got the proper disc if I want to watch it (and to know that I actually own it)

Plus Music Magpie with their 4 for £5 Blu-ray deals

Again? When did that ever change?

It’s not theft unless the owner specified in the conditions of the rental that car’s couldn’t be charged at the property. (Even then “Theft” is a strong word!)

That being said - there is obviously a big difference in charging your phone and charging a car and really we are at a point where this should be clear in all holiday rental agreements one way or another.

I don’t think the owner would be happy if someone just turned on all the taps in the house and left them running for the entirety of their stay. There is a sort of “fair use” which is assumed (if not actually in writing)

Question comes if car charging should always be assumed “fair use” or is that above and beyond? Or is it a gray area that just “depends”.. Much better for everyone if all this is made as clear as possible in the agreement right at the beginning.

It’s a science activity centre - lots of hands on exhibits, it’s great for a wide age range of kids (and let’s be honest… adults too!)

My boy is under 3 and loves it and has been talking about “the robot arm” all weekend.

They’ve got a little 1.5 min video that shows some of the exhibits https://www.techniquest.org/discover/whats-inside/

Also - I did indeed flop onto the sofa and spent that precious nap time playing Zelda (it was glorious)

That’s a depressing thought - that Labour may agree with the basic principle of taking extremely vulnerable people and cramming them together on a bloody barge.

Pretty busy weekend so far.

Techniquest, Swimming Lessons, trip to the beach.

Nothing planned for this afternoon though…. Maybe some gardening (the little boy likes to help with the sweeping)

Just putting him down for a nap so I’ve got about 50 min of free time which I should spend productivity but will probably flop down on the sofa!

Good. What an absolutely ridiculous rule in the first place

Thank you for pointing this out, I totally agree.

Being able to afford food, water, shelter is not a bloody “benefit”. This is the absolute minimum we all need to survive.

Definitely Bandit.
