Pendle Projects posted a letter through the door today. There's an open day, at the Civic Hall, on March 12th to discuss the proposed Aldi store on the gasworks site.

I did an internet connection speed test on the Talk Talk website. Next day I received a call from their rep offering to discuss my phone and internet requirement. I hung up. Got another call next day, and it seems that by doing the test, I agreed to give them my number, and to be called. This overi...

So would I. A can opener.

My wife proposed to me 32 years ago today. I had nothing else planned at the time so, 14 months later, I took her up on the offer.

Interesting article on page 2 of the BET. Aldi, not Asda...

It's very rewarding to have it sat on your hand. I went for a "flying day" at the Birds of Prey centre. My favorite was Gonzo the vulture, It's quite something to have him flying towards you and then land on your arm...

I'm lucky in that I am not hampered by 6mps as I don't do big data transfers so my system works. As far as Orange are concerned we are pawns in a commercial world. Same applies to all the other providers. Hunker down and endure! Tiz raised another matter on another thread. Can you remember me havin...

Just checked 'Sam Knows' again for the 21CN date, it said the end of March on the 25th January (3rd post in this thread), it now says the end of May. Methinks ol' Barlick isn't a priority. They are too busy updating those already on 21CN to fibre to the cabinet (FTTC) aka BT Infinity....... http://...

Bargain, get in there sharpish!

This handsome buzzard is from the Birds of Prey Centre. When flying him the wild buzzards come around looking for a free meal.

Orange account payments have been suspended for 3 months as compensation, that's handy then. It was a DHCP problem, it was only providing a limited range of IP's and had spat out some duplicates, interesting. Orange have been given a date, by BT, for the "go live" of the 21cn network, Marc...

I'll be asking for a lot more than that, I got 4 months free broadband and phone line rental because they were a week late installing it...

This article, min last week's Craven Herald, caught my attention http://www.cravenherald.co.uk/leisure/a ... tics_role/

We have a work around. A small change in the router and pages are displaying. Orange have informed me that the issue is with BT, it is affecting multiple ISP's who use the IPStream network. A permanent fix will eventually be found but, in the meantime, the work around is faster than the 3G connecti...

My Talk Talk connection is still around 17Mbps. They do have their own kit at the exchange though I believe. They do indeed, as do Sky. Orange did have their own kit but it was removed last year. I had the choice of Talk Talk, Sky or Orange when I moved away from BT, for the faster connection. Look...

I felt a big wave of disappointment at the total lack of support from the local companies mentioned above, especially as a friend of mine had travelled specifically all the way from Bolton with a hope of visiting the Rolls Royce stand. What a Shame, it could have been so much better... I believe RR...
