    Internet download speeds a question

    Quick google suggests your laptop has a 100MB wired ethernet adapter and an 802.11n speed wifi adapter which is also one of the older technologies. Not sure how many antennas your laptop has but for example an 802.11n single antenna, single width wifi adapter will top out at about 70. Try...

    PS3 repair - if it's even worth it.

    Roku, we have 3 in our house. Only streaming widget I found (before the Fire TV came out) that did all the catch ups + netflix + amazon + PLEX

    Anyone here signed up to POW! Virtual Running? You pick a medal, pay a small fee, do the run at your own convenience within a specified timeframe, submit evidence and they send you the medal in the post :) My friend linked me to the 1000km or 1000miles in 2017 and I'm sorely tempted to go in...

    I bought, used for a month and subsequently ditched my Apple Watch Series 2 as a running watch - the built in activity tracker doesn't give the metrics I want (the map on the App doesn't even show mile markers...) and using iSmoothRun or another running app just feels clunky as the display takes...

    I gave up using my Apple Watch as a running companion and returned to using iSmoothRun on my iPhone paired with a cheapy old Pebble watch for the reasons above. Hated that I had to swipe or that sometimes the watch face wouldn't come up when I tilted my wrist up.

    Heathrow expansion

    But it is true? from Wiki... (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gatwick_Airport#Flight_movements) Gatwick operates as a single-runway airport although it has two runways; the northern runway (08L/26R) can only be used when the main runway (08R/26L) is out of use for any reason.

    Have you ever seen a dead body ?

    Yes, I've seen (in hospital) the bodies of deceased family members including my dad (I was 10) and grandparents. It's probably a different experience to yours as it wasn't a frantic scene or an accident as I was given time to prepare before I saw them.

    And that's my 6th "No" in a row. Annoyingly they stopped doing the 5 and you're in when I had gotten my 4th rejection :(

    I did the Crawley (sorry, "London South") Tough Mudder half yesterday, Much preferred it to the full one I did in March as it had more of the fun obstacles and none of the silly ice water / electric shock ones.

    Rather a long shot, but is anyone else running the Disneyland Paris half marathon? I'm looking forward to running it but since becoming a father I've not run more than 10K and my pace is a hell of a lot slower than I'd like...

    Does anyone have a baby sized Albion kit?

    My newborn son is going to have a photo shoot in a couple of weeks and we need to sort some outfits out, I would like an Albion one. Did they ever sell a baby sized (8lb) Albion kit? We have the sleep suits already but they're not really photo shoot material :)

    Anyone got VAG com / VCDS ?

    I used to, but sold it when I sold my VW :( From what I remember, the MK5 golf requires a HEX+CAN cable, not the cheaper generic eBay ones.

    FYI if anyone is in the market for a Garmin I might be selling my Forerunner 235 in the next week or so - really don't use all the bells and whistles over my old phone app so moving it on. PM me if interested else I'll sling it on eBay.

    Wasn't happy with my Worthing time at all, was aiming for an hour due to 1) not training, 2) becoming a father a week ago and 3) the heat. I limped over the line completely exhausted at 1hr 5mins which is the second worst 10K time I've had since I started running as a fat(ter) bloke. My Garmin...
