Re: COVID SECURE FESTIVAL ENTRY

Interesting decision, and since I'm not going one that doesn't affect me, however, what's to stop someone just telling the NHS website that they've had a negative test regardless of whether they have had one or not?

Re: Coronavirus

Or that most of the extra deaths were not caused by CoviD19. :lol: Yeah I'd say it's more likely that the covid 19 deaths just weren't included in the second graph. Are you suggesting 6000 people suddenly just died in a week of something else when there's hardly any road traffic accidents and A &am...

Re: Tech help reqd Optical to analogue sound for TV

Had a friend around yesterday to look at it,and the problem seems to be how the connector is powered. It runs off a USB plugged into the back of the TV,a separate connection to optical out. Unplugging then reconnecting the usb while the TV is turned on seems to reset it,and the soundbar then works f...

Re: Tech help reqd Optical to analogue sound for TV

My bet is the adapter. Digital to Analogue requires a microprocessor, rather than just a simple signal circuit, so I think they could be prone to failure. Was it pricey? Can you get it replaced easily? It was one of these. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00KNNSKV0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00...

Re: movies

Yep, looks fucking awful, and of course the media have declared anyone who doesn't like it a sexist despite the fact that from the trailer we can see the characters are badly written, it's unfunny and the sfx are awful. The sfx look perfectly fine to me. I don't like to draw too many conclusions fr...

Re: Scottish Independence thread

It'll actually make their first general election really interesting. I'll be voting SNP at the first few , once we've got settled in I'll be supporting the Greens. Say for the first twenty years then? That's equating a few as four or five,and an election every 4 years! I haven't read all the thread...
