[04:36]  * m0nkey_ sings "it's coming home, it's coming, football's coming home"
[04:36] <m0nkey_> What time is the game?
[09:23]  * daftykins bans m0nkey_ :P
[09:23] <daftykins> mornin'
[09:27] <zxm-pi> o/
[09:28] <daftykins> oh dear the contractor of the offices beside are attempting to start up their little presumably petrol generator again to pressure wash the area
[09:28] <daftykins> i've had a word with the company before and they don't give a *bleep* about their contractor doing this on a Sunday of all days
[09:40] <zxm-pi> time for a big bass speaker and leave it humming during work hours. soon fine a really annoying frequency :-)
[10:39] <daftykins> hrmm thinking about the job at that house with all the unknown telephone cables, about time i got a tone generator and probe kit
[14:59] <m0nkey_> huh, goodwood festival of speed is being live streamed on youtube. nice. i miss going.
[15:00] <daftykins> think a client often went
[15:01] <m0nkey_> goodwood was a 20 min drive for me, practically in my back yard
[15:02] <m0nkey_> i'm surprised about the crowds at goodwood i'm seeing. things getting back to normal over there?
[15:04] <penguin42> gently ignoring the situation?
[15:05] <m0nkey_> lol
[15:05] <m0nkey_> then again, it's gotta get to the point where people just dont care anymore 
[15:07] <penguin42> well when they've drunk enough and watched enough football they don't care; see the numbers in Tyneside
[15:09] <penguin42> South Tyneside: 1203/100k cases
[15:09] <penguin42> about 1/3 higher than anywhere else, and about 4x national average)
[15:11] <m0nkey_> we got 16.2/100k cases here in montreal
[15:11] <penguin42> m0nkey_: We were doing OK until Delta hit
[15:12] <m0nkey_> you'd think for a highly dense metropolis it'll be WAY higher.. but in the province of Quebec, we have 711 active cases total, out of 8m people
[15:12] <m0nkey_> delta is here, but we have a handful of cases. we were braced for it, but it hasn't happened yet
[15:14] <m0nkey_> ben collins (the old stig) is doing the shootout in a Benz 200HP Blitzen
[15:40] <m0nkey_> geez, a lot going on today.. goodwood, brandson blasting off into space, england v italy ...
[15:49] <diddledan> branston did it
[15:49] <daftykins> no longer in a pickle?
[15:50] <diddledan> get a mac ;-p https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0DIHlnD_S0
[15:51] <daftykins> no thanks
[15:52] <daftykins> disposable kit makes the environment cry! :P
[15:54] <penguin42> m0nkey_: Well, that was the interesting thing done...
[16:00] <zxm-pi> he uses macos but on a lenovo
[16:06] <daftykins> well, that guy does creative things so eh
[16:33] <daftykins> silent, long battery life and performant seems ideal... just couldn't use the OS personally :D
[16:33] <daftykins> or the keyboard :D
[16:37] <zxm-pi> i hate all trackpads with a vengence. i'd stick with a thinkpad just for the nipple
[16:37] <zxm-pi> and the decent keyboard
[16:37] <zxm-pi> plus the i could never give a penny to a company so against right to repair as apple
[16:37] <daftykins> *nod*
[16:38] <zxm-pi> but if it works for him i'm not gonna arrange a lynch mob. but will sell pitch forks and torches :-P
[16:40] <daftykins> cunning!
[16:44] <diddledan> what time is sportsball?
[16:45] <diddledan> from CNBC: "Why Microsoft keeps beating Apple and Google with Windows": https://youtu.be/OcL932W6E1w 
[18:36] <penguin42> is no channel showing the Italian Job?
[18:53] <zxm-pi> the original or remake? :-P
[18:58] <penguin42> original of course!
[19:00] <zxm-pi> benny hill the original hacker :-)
[19:03] <penguin42> Professor Peach
[19:04] <diddledan> wow. I turn on the telly 2 minutes into the game and I've already missed a goal
[19:07] <diddledan> another one about to happen?
[19:11] <daftykins> look what you did to penguin42!
[19:13] <diddledan> :-p
[19:13] <diddledan> lightweight ;-)
[19:26] <daftykins> it's strangely peaceful outside... almost... too quiet
[19:26] <diddledan> nobody supports the mainland teams over there? :-p
[19:26] <daftykins> oh i definitely saw one of those weirdos with the car window flags the other day
[19:36] <diddledan> when do we call in the snipers to start taking the good enemy out of the equation?
[19:42] <daftykins> good enemy o0
[19:42] <diddledan> the ones that are good at attacking, I mean
[19:43] <daftykins> zxm-pi: i scored half price emergency chocolate oranges today \o/
[19:43] <diddledan> \o/
[19:45] <daftykins> youtube says i should check out something by Fran today - https://youtu.be/q8vM14V7RQE
[20:27] <diddledan> bugger
[20:28] <daftykins> did the Italians wrap all the English in pasta?
[20:31] <diddledan> here's Saka
[21:12] <daftykins> so that's what a hardware reviewer's home looks like xD https://youtu.be/EjJ2yZwm8OY?t=2
[21:40] <diddledan> argh
[21:41] <daftykins> is it over?
[21:42] <zxm-pi> it's times like this you miss teletext for updates :-)
[21:44] <diddledan> penalties
[21:46] <daftykins> always goes that way, rigged!
[21:46] <diddledan> italy going first
[21:46] <diddledan> 1 for 1
[21:46] <diddledan> england next
[21:47] <diddledan> 1/1
[21:47] <diddledan> italy 1/2
[21:48] <diddledan> england 2/2
[21:49] <daftykins> D:
[21:49] <diddledan> italy 2/3
[21:50] <diddledan> england 2/3
[21:51] <diddledan> italy 3/4
[21:52] <diddledan> england 2/4
[21:53] <diddledan> england 3/4
[21:53] <daftykins> suuuurely the end is nigh?
[21:53] <diddledan> err
[21:53] <diddledan> italy 3/4
[21:53] <diddledan> 3/5 I mean
[21:54] <diddledan> here's Saka with our last kick
[21:54] <diddledan> italy wins
[21:54] <daftykins> Saka, when the walls fell
[21:54] <zxm-pi> \o/
[21:54] <zxm-pi> not hearing any celebrations outside
[21:55] <zxm-pi> winning by penalties never seems right somehow
[21:55] <daftykins> not hearing any sulking
[21:55] <diddledan> next year then
[21:56] <zxm-pi> they should find a better solution than penalties though.
[21:56] <diddledan> coin toss?
[21:56] <daftykins> wow LGR got sent books by Ernest Cline due to him being a fan, how neat
[21:56] <zxm-pi> play till 1 goal is scored
[21:56] <zxm-pi> let exhaustion settle the game
[21:56] <diddledan> they used to have golden goal, didn't they?
[21:57] <daftykins> heh y'know the last 2 years in baseball, they no longer let it run on forever... to stop games going obscene times and tiring the players
[21:57] <zxm-pi> probably doesn't work well with satellite coverage prices
[23:14] <daftykins> time for bed! g'night \o
[23:14] <daftykins> diddledan: thanks for sparing us the sportball too xD
[23:14] <daftykins> results and progress without having to view! \o/
[23:14] <diddledan> :-)
[23:22] <zxm-pi> bring back teletext :-P
[23:24] <m0nkey_> Well, that was disappointing
