Not sure if it has anything to do with the current 'lockdown', but I've been passing some spectacularly large stools recently. Some of them have required three flushes to clear: I think Marco might have been impressed!

With so little to occupy my time currently, I find myself just going through the motions a lot.................the long rubber gloves help
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

Why are you shocked Marco? I was replying to your and other's previous posts. Anyway you and Pigmy seem to take great delight in mentioning 'bodily functions' at every opportunity.Originally Posted by Marco

Marco.
Don't think my diet has changed much: it's been largely things like casseroles, hotpots, coq au vin and chilli con carne. Photos to appear in the appropriate thread soon.
Thanks, Happy is keeping well and safe - but bored witless with the lockdown: she's a very social animal and needs human contact. She doesn't read much or watch TV, but does enjoy music, so that is some distraction for her. We phone one another three times a day, but it's all a bit stressful; especially as her daughter is still here (visiting from Cameroon, but there are no return flights running as yet), but she cannot see her as her daughter is staying in a house with a mother and her new born baby and the baby's health and safety is paramount.

Yes, but I didn't think it was 'your bag' - and it's the first time I've seen you actively participate in our joviality over jobbies!Why are you shocked Marco?

Good stuff, and I completely agree with the latter. Anyway, send her our bestThanks, Happy is keeping well and safe - but bored witless with the lockdown: she's a very social animal and needs human contact.

I was lucky to get that on BT. Usual speeds were more like 5 meg down at a push and mebbe 0.2 up speed. Have since changed to Boundless wireless service and guaranteed 30 meg down usually up to 33 and a good healthy 10 meg up. Makes huge difference while doing radio now. Before i would struggle to stream at 128kbps now can comfortably play at 320.
