'only 300Mbps'
Cries in 45Mbps
- Comment on Has anyone tried Proton VPN? 2 months ago:
Use it daily - phone set to turn on VPN when I leave home. Occasionally use it indoors. No probs - not much difference in speed.
Can use default (fastest) server or take you pick from quite a few choices - again not much speed difference.YMMV

Exactly. All those 'extra milky' cappucinos.
Scum people deserve scum service.*
- Note that I said service, not staff. If someone is willing to clean your shitty toilet, you need to pay them decently.

Yes we do but anything with that smeghead Farage is not the way to go.
- Comment on Rishi Sunak announces 4 July general election 5 months ago:
This is going to be a real problem - because the Daily Mail and such will be screaming that all the problems are still there 6 months later - never mind that they've taken 14 years to put in place. People like my ignorant and racist sister in law, whose answer to the issue of migrants is to 'Just shoot them'. These people really do just open their mouths and let the bile pour out. She'd never vote Labour as they are too common. Unfortunately there are plenty like her about. Totally selfish and only concerned with themselves and showing off to their friends.

I despise that man with an irrational hatred. I've never met him, don't know anyone that's met him. Yet I would quite happily do things to him that would get me banned from here.

- Comment on Two men charged with spying for China under Official Secrets Act 6 months ago:
Fair enough - but a year? That seems a bit excessive - I hope they've been locked away for the duration.
- Comment on Two men charged with spying for China under Official Secrets Act 6 months ago:
'China has called the allegations "malicious slander".
Counter-terrorism police have described the allegations as "very serious".' They would do though wouldn't they?
Why has it taken over a year to charge them?
