| CoderEurope | Daftykins, well done in getting your game gear sorted out ! | 12:48 |
| bigcalm | Good morning peeps :) | 13:56 |
| * penguin42 yaaawwwwnnns at bigcalm | 13:57 | |
| bigcalm | WiFi isn't consistent at this Turkish holiday resort | 15:50 |
| penguin42 | perhaps it needs basting? | 15:52 |
| bigcalm | It was 28°C for most of the 10 days here. Flying back to Blighty is going to be a shock to the system | 15:54 |
| * bigcalm checks the weather report | 15:55 | |
| bigcalm | 14°C and wet :( | 15:57 |
| penguin42 | yeh it's getting colder, hasn't got wet here, but it's thinking about it | 15:57 |
| diddledan | bigcalm: as long as there isn't any cooing until after you get back! (couping?) | 16:09 |
| diddledan | sorry, I shouldn't sow the seed of doubt | 16:09 |
| bigcalm | Back, don't. My parents were somewhat concerned about us coming here | 16:09 |
| bigcalm | s/Back/Ack | 16:10 |
| diddledan | :-) it'll be fine :-) | 16:10 |
| bigcalm | I know... | 16:10 |
| diddledan | if not, I'll sit on someone as punishment | 16:10 |
| diddledan | <-- big fella | 16:11 |
| bigcalm | Ha | 16:11 |
| bigcalm | At this all inclusive resort, I've been going that way muskeg | 16:11 |
| bigcalm | Myself | 16:12 |
| diddledan | good fooding there? | 16:12 |
| zmoylan-pi | as someone in ireland, i'll just warn you the rain is on the way, repeat, the rain is on the way... | 16:21 |
| diddledan | dear lord! | 16:23 |
| * diddledan finds the nearest fallout shelter | 16:23 | |
| zmoylan-pi | it was only code yellow rain so probably heavy showers by time it gets there... | 16:24 |
| penguin42 | zmoylan-pi: Well, if you take all the rain that'll be good; just dont leave any for us | 16:24 |
| zmoylan-pi | and underground fallout shelters would be last place i'd head for :-) | 16:24 |
| zmoylan-pi | a rnli lifeboat would be optimal | 16:25 |
| penguin42 | a lighthouse? | 16:25 |
| zmoylan-pi | most lighthouses are now automatic and have no living quarters anymore | 16:26 |
| diddledan | they're the first to rise-up when the machine rebellion begins | 16:27 |
| penguin42 | nowhere even for an engineer to camp out ? | 16:27 |
| zmoylan-pi | the living quarters if not maintained would be fairly bad after even a mere decade of non maintenance | 16:28 |
| * diddledan bursts into a rendition of "Transformers, Robots in these guys" | 16:28 | |
| diddledan | what do you mean I did it wrong?! | 16:28 |
| daftykins | diddledan: ;) hows the fruity patient? | 17:04 |
| diddledan | gone off to their repair centre now | 17:04 |
| diddledan | be back in about a week mayhaps | 17:04 |
| daftykins | ah they can't even do stuff in house? shocking | 17:04 |
| zmoylan-pi | thy don't have the necessary holy tools? | 17:11 |
| daftykins | must be a reseller only :D | 17:18 |
| diddledan | tis an official apple store :-p | 17:21 |
| daftykins | *gasp* | 17:21 |
| daftykins | i see our local reseller shop (one of them) has now moved into fancy larger premises - shows they're making a few quid | 17:21 |
| daftykins | rent on the high-street here is probably £60,000+ per year | 17:21 |
| zmoylan-pi | ...or the closure of most of the other shops as retail moves online has left the retail market a lot of empty locations they're desperate to fill | 17:22 |
| zmoylan-pi | i've seen a few shops around my local town move to new premises after decades in old locations | 17:24 |
| penguin42 | yeh quite a lot of shuffling going on in Manchester | 17:35 |
| daftykins | ours just charge so much rent that companies start, fail and fold up within weeks | 17:38 |
| zmoylan-pi | same problem here... worked with a guy who sold restaurant equipment. he reckoned most restaurants started in the failed remains of previous restaurant or at least their equipment | 17:39 |
| penguin42 | Manchester seems to have had problems with losing some businesses due to ever-continuing building due to trying to expand the tram network, just leaving shops half-cut off for ages | 17:40 |
| zmoylan-pi | dublin is currently ripping up centre of city to reinstall tram tracks ripped out in 1960s | 17:41 |
| zmoylan-pi | when i learned to cycle in late 70s there were still roads around my house that had the tracks laid down. | 17:42 |
| penguin42 | yeh, Manc has had them for ages but they keep adding more | 17:43 |
| daftykins | :) seems loads of places are bringing them back | 17:43 |
| zmoylan-pi | i suspect leccy buses will eliminate their advantage soon enough so they'll end up ripping them out all over again | 17:43 |
| daftykins | had one such road with the rails still in, in Portsmouth | 17:43 |
| penguin42 | we've had them for ~20 years | 17:43 |
| penguin42 | zmoylan-pi: http://new.abb.com/smartcities/transport/electric-buses/flash-charging is a scary solution to that | 17:44 |
| zmoylan-pi | instead of needing tracks + overhead lines a leccy bus with kinetic or capictor storage could eliminate need for tracks or as much overhead | 17:44 |
| penguin42 | zmoylan-pi: We've got a 'guided busway' (there's also one in Cambridge) | 17:45 |
| zmoylan-pi | a bus could top up at every bus stop and route around accidents unlike trams which have to wait for tracks to be cleared | 17:45 |
| penguin42 | yeh | 17:46 |
| daftykins | i'm off to bed, have a good week all \o | 22:49 |
| zmoylan-pi | sleep well o/ | 22:51 |
