[10:59] <czajkowski> aloha
[10:59] <terran> hello my dear
[10:59] <terran> Are you back in England
[11:10] <czajkowski> 2
[11:10] <czajkowski> yes
[11:10] <czajkowski> just setting up work machine and working
[11:22] <ebel> How are you finding blighty?
[11:22] <czajkowski> grand
[13:56] <davisc> czajkowski: Was it laptopsdirect.ie you had a problem with?
[13:57] <czajkowski> before
[13:57] <czajkowski> yes EVIL PLACE
[14:16] <czajkowski> moonpie: ping
[14:16] <czajkowski> davisc: they also have laptopsdirect.co.uk still evil
[14:20] <davisc> Fair enough :-)
[16:22] <czajkowski> Just submited my 1st lightning talk for FOSDEM ever :)
[16:27] <ebel> congrats :)
[16:28] <czajkowski> may not even get picked
[16:28] <czajkowski> but at least I tried :)
[16:32] <terran> totally booking my train and hotel for that after Christmas
[16:33] <terran> I'll use my last two holiday days I have left to take off the Friday and Monday surrounding it
[16:35] <czajkowski> terran: if you use venure.com and google venere discount you get  4% off
[16:35] <czajkowski> also you dont pay for the hotel till you check out using that site
[16:36] <czajkowski> terran: I'm so getting the train :D
[16:36] <davem> what time is that on at next year?
[16:36] <czajkowski> 5/6 february
[16:36] <czajkowski> could someone stab moonpie for me and tell him to poke me please
[16:36] <davem> hmm, may go for it then depending on flights
[16:36] <czajkowski> davem: keith is coming :D
[16:36] <czajkowski> he booked his there 2 weeks ago
[16:36] <czajkowski> sooner you booked cheaper are the flights
[16:37] <davem> yeah
[16:41] <terran> the train to Brussels is only £69 return :D
[16:41] <terran> and none of that airport hassle
[16:43] <czajkowski> aye
[16:43] <czajkowski> well flight last year from dublin to brussels main was 80 return, but flight from UK is silly priced
[16:45] <slashtom> eurostar?
[16:46] <czajkowski> aer lingus last year
[16:46] <czajkowski> this year will go by eurostar it's 69 return :D
[16:54] <slashtom> flights from UK to Brussels are usually shit
[16:54] <slashtom> i used to find it easier to drive
[16:55] <czajkowski> aye thats what we're saying, it's chepaer to get the train....
[16:55] <slashtom> it's 2 hours from calais, about 200km
[16:55] <czajkowski> but it's cheaper to fly fro ireland
[16:56] <slashtom> or some number of miles (as you're probably on archaic units now)
[16:58] <ebel> czajkowski: tis hard to drive from ireland
[16:58] <ebel> a bridge or tunnel from wales to wexford would be awesome,
[16:58] <czajkowski> not impossible though
[17:02] <slashtom> shame the boom died, otherwise we would have had that for 2020
[17:04] <emboss> yep, if only we could have borrowed germanys money and sold houses back and forward to each other for another 10 years
[17:04] <emboss> damn :)
[17:04] <czajkowski> emboss: fancy seeing you here :)
[17:04] <emboss> I pop up in the most unexpected of places :-)
[17:05] <czajkowski> this you do
[17:15] <emboss> so UPC offering 100mb BB
[17:15] <emboss> sweet.
[17:17] <czajkowski> nice
[17:18] <davisc> Which will work for maybe 15% of the time :-)
[17:18] <emboss> Never had an issue with UPC
[17:18] <czajkowski> aye
[17:18] <emboss> well, nothing major
[17:18] <czajkowski> never had any issue with them in dublin
[17:18] <czajkowski> dodgey digiweb on the other hand
[17:19] <emboss> The worst part of UPC for me was the customer service/sales/support
[17:19] <emboss> but the connection itself is fine
[17:19] <czajkowski> aye
[17:20] <emboss> czajkowski: I think their support is in Limerick
[17:20] <emboss> so that might explain a lot
[17:20] <emboss> :P
[17:22] <czajkowski> emboss: behave you mister
[18:16] <ebel> emboss: I have also had no end of customer service problems with UPC
