    [Football] Russell Martin?

    Living within the Southampton hinterland I do hear a lot of negatives about him putting players in wrong positions and being very dogged in some tactics which don't work; but the significant problem I have is it's rather difficult to speak to a non-arrogant Saints supporter.

    [Misc] University Open Days - what to look for.

    This was many moons ago now but I went to University open days at Lancaster, UCL, Portsmouth, Birmingham and LSE. I quickly realised that Lancaster fitted the bill of "how you would fancy being here in a wet Tuesday in November" when the person showing us around warned us it rained more-or-less...

    [Help] Laptop connection to dual monitors advice (warning dull content)

    We had a similar laptop here and if you get a USB-C type connector you will need to get a power-injector USB switch like this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Belkin-Adapter-Supports-Passthrough-Connected/dp/B0893452HR as if you don't charging may be an issue if you buy a cheapo USB-C to HDMI...

    [Help] Laptop connection to dual monitors advice (warning dull content)

    For a more precise answer it may help for you to mention what laptop model you have. You can go through the process like others have said to get a USB-C to HDMI convertor but at the same time it might be worth seeing if you can get a proper docking station for the laptop. My work laptop has a...

    [Technology] Broadband speed for homeworking

    One thing you need to realise is that if you upgrade to VM's fastest available offering (think is 1gbps) you are still limited to a horrifically small in comparison upload speed; which is akin to having a Ferrari and then putting a Fiat 500 exhaust on it. If you are connecting your devices via...

    [News] Average tank of fuel now over £100

    I drove up the M3 to work yesterday and did find it fascinating that there might be a national outcry in regards to the cost of fuel but very few drivers on the road were driving any more conservatively to reflect this!

    [Travel] Winchester; your tips…

    Currently been under the hospitality of the Royal Hampshire County Hospital for the last week - the food isn't too bad in there! But for walks I'd recommend a short walk up St Giles Hill, or if the weather is good to walk through the streets around the College, through the water meadows and up...

    [News] 17month old killed by Staffie dog

    We rehomed a rare breed a couple of months ago and she was sadly very anxious and on one occasion bit me. Due to the depth of the bite it was necessary to go to A+E and it had to be reported onto "the system". When we spoke to the breeder about the incident she was so terrified and disappointed...

    [Help] Fence dispute - who owns it?

    The "fence to your left is yours" is an old-wives tale - it really depends what it says on the Deeds etc. If it's a new development it's more than likely shared between the both of you.

    [Technology] Ethernet Cable Help

    Sounds as though you are trying to connect to the RJ11 (US telephone style jack) port at the back of the router. If you share some photos someone we will be better to understand your issue.

    [Help] Hedge trimmer

    This might be 50% outside of your budget and not electric but I bought one of these 4 years ago and has not lost a beat. Excellent at cutting back the hedges and bushes and great around the houses oil tank...

    [Travel] Match day parking

    Before I renewed my ST at the Club, I emailed them and asked if they intend to sell car parking season tickets at Sussex University. They said "yes, when we are back up to full capacity". For the club to then go back on this and put the metaphorical middle finger up has left a sour taste in...

    [Football] Giving up my season ticket.

    Been a season ticket holder for over 20 years and will not be renewing next year. Since the Club stopped selling the car parking season tickets it's been increasingly hard to get parking sorted nearby and it makes me going to games into a full-day event instead of something which I could work...

    [Misc] F1 2021

    This is why the racing notes to drivers this week raise the spectre of points deductions if any shenanigans take place on the first corner. Apparently Horner has already said it's not fair and demands consistency with other rounds of the championship -...

    [News] Do we need statute of limitations for historic allegations?

    As long as it needs to. "It was a long time ago" is no defence.

    [Technology] Windows 11

    I imagine that Microsoft might back down in due course and allow non TPM 2.x machines as there are a lot of powerful systems (workstations and laptops) which will not work with Windows 11.

    [Football] Snus - have you heard of it?

    Some of these manufacturers have been giving out samples at the Isle of Wight festival and offering competitions with free boat trips etc. I am surprised that these incentives are not illegal - it reminds me when my Dad once saw a Silk Cut stand at Waterloo station in rush hour, handing out...

    [Albion] Will the ticket exchange open? - yes it will!

    As I previously stated yesterday the Club are most probably waiting for their own ticket returns before they choose to open up the Exchange.
