"Intermittent" - nope, it's all gone. All out. Darkness.
Unfortunately we have seen a repeat of an earlier issue which is causing intermittent broadband connectivity problems for some Virgin Media customers. We apologise again to those impacted, our teams are continuing to work flat out to find the root cause of the problem and fix it.

This sounds designed to mostly benefit shareholders of a 'US private media-tech company', and then maybe patients second. Or third.
The Government's big new solution to the NHS crisis is 'Hospital at Home'. The NHS in Bristol, S Glos & N Somerset have signed a multi-million ££ deal with a US private medi-tech company to roll it out here Full story - have a read: bristolpost.co.uk/news/brist…

From @charlesarthur Overspill today - "Back in 1998 I was shown a β€œ3D internet shopping mall”". Reader, I honked with laughter so hard I got hard stares from across the restaurant. I wonder if it was the same person who told me in 1998 that 3D Shopping would be the near future.

Incidentally, that person told me that DAB radio would be a huge failure, and we should be ploughing all our investment and time into 3D Shopping Malls.

Wait, since when could you have bags under your seat at an emergency exit row??? @united have rules I've never ever come across. Every other airline demand all bags in lockers, totally free of bags at floor level. Learning something new.

So the Las Vegas Loop is just one tremendous boondoggle, isn't it? It's a fairground ride, at best. It's a horrible distraction from developing sustainable, scalable, transport, at worst.

Also... Also ... (He said, waving a glass of red wine around), in *literally* the most protected controlled road environment, the Teslas are fully manually driven by humans, which speaks volumes on the 'wholly autonomous drive is coming real soon now' horsesh!t.
