| foobarry | that should do. thanks guys | 10:58 |
| davmor2 | foobarry: don't mention it.....no no really don't ;) | 11:13 |
| _Sponge | Blustery day here. Rain on , than off, then on again ... | 11:44 |
| davmor2 | _Sponge: so England then | 11:46 |
| _Sponge | No ManxLand. | 11:46 |
| _Sponge | not that it matters. | 11:47 |
| _Sponge | Did anyone see that FairTaxTown documentary on the Beeb ? | 11:47 |
| _Sponge | My friend, the Lady from the Isle of Man, was on that. | 11:48 |
| awilkins | I did | 11:54 |
| awilkins | http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b06ygl19 | 11:54 |
| awilkins | TLDW : Yes, it's perfectly possible for small businesses to use the same tax-avoidance schemes as the big boys | 11:55 |
| awilkins | TBH I think the only thing that will get HMRC and the government to fix the situation is when someone commercializes tax-avoidance for small business | 11:56 |
| awilkins | Given that 99% of businesses in the UK are small businesses, there's a market there | 11:56 |
| directhex | wasn't that what the did at the end? | 11:58 |
| directhex | selling their "fair tax town" formula? | 11:58 |
| awilkins | I don't think they actually went through with it | 11:59 |
| awilkins | Currently they are still on the Light Side of the Tax | 11:59 |
| awilkins | They created a viable tax avoidance scheme but are only using it as a campaigning tool right now AFAICT | 12:00 |
| awilkins | The ringleader is running for head of the HMRC board | 12:00 |
| awilkins | https://www.change.org/p/consider-steve-lewis-for-next-chief-executive-of-hmrc-board-peoplestaxman | 12:00 |
| awilkins | From their front page : "The Fair Tax Town Scheme is designed to put us in a strong negotiating position with HMRC, and not to avoid tax…" | 12:01 |
| awilkins | Actually using the tax avoidance scheme would presumably be the nuclear option | 12:02 |

| knightwise | yo peeps | 13:02 |
| zmoylan-pi | o/ | 13:02 |
| knightwise | hey zmoylan-pi how are you due | 13:32 |
| zmoylan-pi | better than your autocorrect? :-) | 13:33 |
| knightwise | Haha :) | 13:33 |
| knightwise | Fewwy Funnah | 13:33 |
| zmoylan-pi | proper keyboards for the non abbreviated win \o/ | 13:35 |
| knightwise | The one on my mbp is big enough .. i just type too fast | 13:37 |
| zmoylan-pi | no such thing as typing too fast... merely a computer too slow to keep up | 13:38 |
| davmor2 | zmoylan-pi: stop using that zx81 and use something a little more modern you know like an amiga or atari then ;) | 13:40 |
| === alan_g|lunch is now known as alan_g | ||
| zmoylan-pi | a zx81? do you think i'm made of money... ::hugs zx80:: | 13:41 |
| davmor2 | hahahaha | 13:41 |
| zmoylan-pi | and stay away from those new fangled ram packs... nothing but wobble... :-) | 13:42 |
| zmoylan-pi | i was tempted when i saw someone had connect a zx spectrum to twitter till i saw the network card used had a more powerful processor than the speccy | 13:43 |
| davmor2 | I liked the guy that turned the raspi into a 48k emulator and installed it in an old spectrum I thought that was genius and all so he could play jetset willy :) | 13:45 |
| zmoylan-pi | it's not the same using a pc keyboard in an emulator somehow... | 13:46 |
| zmoylan-pi | maplins sell a fuse keyboard that is very reminiscent of the bbc keyboard. tempting but too expensive | 13:49 |
| davmor2 | ah the good old bbc micro :) whisks me back to school :) | 13:58 |
| MooDoo | used to play chucky egg or frak on our bbc at schoo :) | 14:24 |
| davmor2 | we weren't really allowed to play games on them except for adventure games as those meant you read stuff as they were all text based :) | 14:34 |
| mapps | hm new x files was ok | 15:20 |
| diddledan | mapps: I liked it | 15:20 |
| diddledan | mapps: way to cluster filesystem-check our collective minds :-p | 15:21 |
| diddledan | everything we thought we knew about the cannon of the x-files… nope, you’re wrong | 15:22 |
| awilkins | Mulder : now a skeptic | 15:43 |
| awilkins | Scully : Enrolled in a commune in the Nevada desert that wears tinfoil hats and sends messages to aliens by drinking phosphorescent chemicals and peeing pictograms onto the vast desert mesa | 15:44 |
| awilkins | Smoking Man : wears a nicotine patch | 15:44 |
| awilkins | Lone Gunmen : all happily married | 15:44 |
| diddledan | awilkins: lmao | 15:53 |
| moreati | awilkins: married to other people, or to each other? | 16:26 |
| bigcalm | Good morning peeps :) | 16:31 |
| popey | hi bigcalm | 16:34 |
| popey | no lag on steamlink even on wifi here | 16:35 |
| bigcalm | popey: I haven't used mine for some time now, might have improved | 16:36 |
| popey | i just booted it up, did an OTA update and played GTA5 | 16:37 |
| popey | didn't notice | 16:37 |
| bigcalm | popey: the issue I, and directhex, found was that now and then there would be a freeze in game play. Followed by restored game play, but the last action of the controller repeated many times. | 16:37 |
| bigcalm | Resulting in walking off ledges in Lego games mostly | 16:38 |
| popey | maybe I haven't played long enough to trigger that | 16:38 |
| popey | or don't have those games | 16:38 |
| bigcalm | This is over wifi n and LAN over power | 16:38 |
| bigcalm | It wasn't any one game, happens for all streaming things | 16:38 |
| bigcalm | As I say, I haven't used it for some time. Might have been fixed | 16:39 |
| bigcalm | directhex: Steam link still causing lag pockets for you? | 16:39 |
| _Sponge | knightwise: Still there ? | 17:05 |
| === Lcawte|Away is now known as Lcawte | ||
| mapps | hmm | 17:50 |
| mapps | what to watch | 17:50 |
| brobostigon | the simpsons, :) | 17:50 |
| mapps | heh | 17:51 |
| * davmor2 just leaves this here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0N4twV28Mw | 18:23 | |
| diddledan | I’ve started on the hot-crossed buns already - it’s not even february! | 18:28 |
| davmor2 | diddledan: dude that is so wrong | 18:33 |
| diddledan | :-p | 18:33 |
| diddledan | yet it feels so right | 18:33 |
| davmor2 | you simply shouldn't stop eating hot-cross buns :) | 18:33 |
| zmoylan-pi | -5 points for use of the word dude... unless you work(ed) for dell... :-P | 18:33 |
| davmor2 | zmoylan-pi: -5 for the use of that word that I use all the time :P | 18:34 |
| mapps | heh | 18:53 |
| mapps | lol shock numerous people claiming they had the 33mil winning ticket | 18:55 |
| diddledan | do they really think that camelot won’t check? | 18:56 |
| mapps | who knows, some people ust want attention from papers/tv | 18:56 |
| mapps | how could camelot check though if you bought the ticket in a shop and then chucked it away | 18:57 |
| diddledan | they won’t pay if you don’t have the ticket IIRC | 18:57 |
| mapps | ya i thought so..so saying you binned it or washed it | 18:58 |
| zmoylan-pi | just attach the genital electrodes and put them through lie detector test... not saying it's accurate but will thin the herd... :-D | 18:58 |
| mapps | means it goes unclaimed right? | 18:58 |
| mapps | how did this 21 yr old die..says she got wdged between 2 sofas on a drinking session?! | 18:59 |
| diddledan | o_O | 18:59 |
| mapps | some young girl travelling in australia | 18:59 |
| mapps | said she was on beta blockers and a history of palpitations..still seems odd | 18:59 |
| mapps | caught the end of murder games bbc3 docu drama about a 14yr old groomed by an 18yr old | 22:02 |
| mapps | pretty sad story;/ | 22:02 |
| diddledan | mapps: lucifer is fun | 22:02 |
| mapps | i was looking at that earlier as it happens | 22:03 |
| diddledan | just watching the first ep | 22:03 |
| mapps | started 'power' ..heard of it? it sounded whack | 22:03 |
| mapps | but 7.8 , 8.2/10 on tv.com/imdb | 22:03 |
| diddledan | don’t think I know that one | 22:03 |
| mapps | so figured id give it a try...directed by 50 cent | 22:03 |
| mapps | ima download the bbc3 doc, it's strange to think something as innocent as playing games could endup in murder | 22:05 |
| zmoylan-pi | did you not notice all the gun fighting over cards in westerns? | 22:08 |
| mapps | heh | 22:09 |
| mapps | but i mean this is young kids being groomed over game forums and team speak stuff | 22:09 |
| mapps | must be so many vile people lurking on forums/server trying to groom kids, impossible to get a # | 22:10 |
| diddledan | mapps: I want to know why I haven’t been groomed by any vile people. I’m most disappointed | 22:11 |
| mapps | you want to be? to troll them i assume? | 22:18 |
| mapps | or report them | 22:19 |
| diddledan | mapps: it’s just that I must be offensive or something | 22:23 |
| mapps | heh | 22:23 |
| diddledan | ooh, just spooted the credit on lucifer - it’s exec produced by jerry bruckheimer | 22:23 |
| mapps | i thought i saw lucifer mentioned months back..maybe it was a pre air | 22:24 |
| diddledan | I mentioned it a while back when I saw the pre-air trailer | 22:24 |
| mapps | aha47 | 22:25 |
| diddledan | apparently it’s perfectly acceptible for the fbi to run child-porn sites: http://motherboard.vice.com/read/judge-rules-fbi-running-child-porn-site-for-13-days-was-not-outrageous-conduct-playpen | 22:34 |
| zmoylan-pi | and the nsa's giant hoovering up of all data probably is largest child porn collection | 22:36 |
| mapps | hmm | 22:37 |
| mapps | a honeypot diddledan? | 22:38 |
| zmoylan-pi | who knew basic was evil... :-) https://www.muckrock.com/news/archives/2016/jan/25/johnny-cashs-basic-threat/ | 22:40 |
| mapps | cya work time | 22:41 |
