[10:58] that should do. thanks guys [11:13] foobarry: don't mention it.....no no really don't ;) [11:44] <_Sponge> Blustery day here. Rain on , than off, then on again ... [11:46] _Sponge: so England then [11:46] <_Sponge> No ManxLand. [11:47] <_Sponge> not that it matters. [11:47] <_Sponge> Did anyone see that FairTaxTown documentary on the Beeb ? [11:48] <_Sponge> My friend, the Lady from the Isle of Man, was on that. [11:54] I did [11:54] http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b06ygl19 [11:55] TLDW : Yes, it's perfectly possible for small businesses to use the same tax-avoidance schemes as the big boys [11:56] 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] Given that 99% of businesses in the UK are small businesses, there's a market there [11:58] wasn't that what the did at the end? [11:58] selling their "fair tax town" formula? [11:59] I don't think they actually went through with it [11:59] Currently they are still on the Light Side of the Tax [12:00] They created a viable tax avoidance scheme but are only using it as a campaigning tool right now AFAICT [12:00] The ringleader is running for head of the HMRC board [12:00] https://www.change.org/p/consider-steve-lewis-for-next-chief-executive-of-hmrc-board-peoplestaxman [12:01] 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…" [12:02] Actually using the tax avoidance scheme would presumably be the nuclear option === alan_g is now known as alan_g|lunch [13:02] yo peeps [13:02] o/ [13:32] hey zmoylan-pi how are you due [13:33] better than your autocorrect? :-) [13:33] Haha :) [13:33] Fewwy Funnah [13:35] proper keyboards for the non abbreviated win \o/ [13:37] The one on my mbp is big enough .. i just type too fast [13:38] no such thing as typing too fast... merely a computer too slow to keep up [13:40] zmoylan-pi: stop using that zx81 and use something a little more modern you know like an amiga or atari then ;) === alan_g|lunch is now known as alan_g [13:41] a zx81? do you think i'm made of money... ::hugs zx80:: [13:41] hahahaha [13:42] and stay away from those new fangled ram packs... nothing but wobble... :-) [13:43] 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 [13:45] 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 :) [13:46] it's not the same using a pc keyboard in an emulator somehow... [13:49] maplins sell a fuse keyboard that is very reminiscent of the bbc keyboard. tempting but too expensive [13:58] ah the good old bbc micro :) whisks me back to school :) [14:24] used to play chucky egg or frak on our bbc at schoo :) [14:34] 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 :) [15:20] hm new x files was ok [15:20] mapps: I liked it [15:21] mapps: way to cluster filesystem-check our collective minds :-p [15:22] everything we thought we knew about the cannon of the x-files… nope, you’re wrong [15:43] Mulder : now a skeptic [15:44] 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] Smoking Man : wears a nicotine patch [15:44] Lone Gunmen : all happily married [15:53] awilkins: lmao [16:26] awilkins: married to other people, or to each other? [16:31] Good morning peeps :) [16:34] hi bigcalm [16:35] no lag on steamlink even on wifi here [16:36] popey: I haven't used mine for some time now, might have improved [16:37] i just booted it up, did an OTA update and played GTA5 [16:37] didn't notice [16:37] 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. [16:38] Resulting in walking off ledges in Lego games mostly [16:38] maybe I haven't played long enough to trigger that [16:38] or don't have those games [16:38] This is over wifi n and LAN over power [16:38] It wasn't any one game, happens for all streaming things [16:39] As I say, I haven't used it for some time. Might have been fixed [16:39] directhex: Steam link still causing lag pockets for you? [17:05] <_Sponge> knightwise: Still there ? === Lcawte|Away is now known as Lcawte [17:50] hmm [17:50] what to watch [17:50] the simpsons, :) [17:51] heh [18:23] * davmor2 just leaves this here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0N4twV28Mw [18:28] I’ve started on the hot-crossed buns already - it’s not even february! [18:33] diddledan: dude that is so wrong [18:33] :-p [18:33] yet it feels so right [18:33] you simply shouldn't stop eating hot-cross buns :) [18:33] -5 points for use of the word dude... unless you work(ed) for dell... :-P [18:34] zmoylan-pi: -5 for the use of that word that I use all the time :P [18:53] heh [18:55] lol shock numerous people claiming they had the 33mil winning ticket [18:56] do they really think that camelot won’t check? [18:56] who knows, some people ust want attention from papers/tv [18:57] how could camelot check though if you bought the ticket in a shop and then chucked it away [18:57] they won’t pay if you don’t have the ticket IIRC [18:58] ya i thought so..so saying you binned it or washed it [18:58] 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] means it goes unclaimed right? [18:59] how did this 21 yr old die..says she got wdged between 2 sofas on a drinking session?! [18:59] o_O [18:59] some young girl travelling in australia [18:59] said she was on beta blockers and a history of palpitations..still seems odd [22:02] caught the end of murder games bbc3 docu drama about a 14yr old groomed by an 18yr old [22:02] pretty sad story;/ [22:02] mapps: lucifer is fun [22:03] i was looking at that earlier as it happens [22:03] just watching the first ep [22:03] started 'power' ..heard of it? it sounded whack [22:03] but 7.8 , 8.2/10 on tv.com/imdb [22:03] don’t think I know that one [22:03] so figured id give it a try...directed by 50 cent [22:05] ima download the bbc3 doc, it's strange to think something as innocent as playing games could endup in murder [22:08] did you not notice all the gun fighting over cards in westerns? [22:09] heh [22:09] but i mean this is young kids being groomed over game forums and team speak stuff [22:10] must be so many vile people lurking on forums/server trying to groom kids, impossible to get a # [22:11] mapps: I want to know why I haven’t been groomed by any vile people. I’m most disappointed [22:18] you want to be? to troll them i assume? [22:19] or report them [22:23] mapps: it’s just that I must be offensive or something [22:23] heh [22:23] ooh, just spooted the credit on lucifer - it’s exec produced by jerry bruckheimer [22:24] i thought i saw lucifer mentioned months back..maybe it was a pre air [22:24] I mentioned it a while back when I saw the pre-air trailer [22:25] aha47 [22:34] 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 [22:36] and the nsa's giant hoovering up of all data probably is largest child porn collection [22:37] hmm [22:38] a honeypot diddledan?
