Went down to Morrisons at 10.10pm to buy me and the other half some Gü cheesecakes. On special offer of £2 right now. Bought 2 boxes so I could scoff two of them to myself.

Delicious treats.

Also she likes to keep the glass jars they come in for candles and ****.

I keep the glass jars too, they come in handy for my reptiles. Whether it be for water dishes for hatchlings or a mealworm jar for the geckos. Strong and sturdy and they can see the worms through them making sure they know where they are. Otherwise they can go unnoticed and are wasted.

It might sound stupid but I was shocked at them being glass and the dessert for £2. If it was plastic, I'd sort of turn my nose up at it.

Good purchase and useful.

Be good for homemade jams and such as well, I guess.

Bravo. That is a good-looking watch, sir.

I have a shelf in my kitchen with lots of the little Gü jars filled with coloured sand.

Thought they were generally a bit rubbish so for a proper long term solution its best to use proper cabling?

They are useless. Absolutely crap. Avoid like the plague if you want a connection that doesn't randomly drop. I've replaced my four PLAs with proper wired ethernet and I am as happy as a pig in mud

That is a more subtle Patek Philippe than I was expecting.

Not really they are great and just as good as "proper" cabling imo, shouldn't be any issues unless you have a crap router or the house wiring hasn't been done properly

Anyway new PSU

Yeah shame the quality wasn't up to scratch, I was meant to be reviewing the unit but appears to be some green blemishes of paint which points to loose manufacturing. It's only something minor and doesn't take away from the internal quality but let's hope the replacement has no green paint

Greebo · 1 Sep 2015 at 13:27

Sorry for a second I thought you meant the Haribo wasn't up to scratch :eek:

Haha, haven't tried it yet :eek:

Might go and finish it off now.. who knows maybe I'll get another packet of Haribo as well?

They are great but not even close to proper cabling. Even with decent wiring, the advertised "up to" speeds are never achievable unless both are plugged into the same socket. Very susceptible to noise they're half duplex - so a million miles away from an actual network cable

I've achieved the maximum 50Mbps that Virgin provide, by both ethernet, wireless and home plugs. Whether people want to nitpick is up to them but as I said if you have the right kit I don't see why there should be any issue. I know I'm not alone as plenty of people use home plugs.

But sure whatever is best for the situation

I've found the majority of Patek watches to be very subtle

Hyburnate · 1 Sep 2015 at 13:49

You may be able to get the max 50Mbps however they're nowhere close to true cabling. I highly doubt anything will ever beat true cabling.

It's not exactly nitpicking - people use the network at home for more than just internet access, if you want to transfer files around then 50mbps is actually pretty tiny - a fraction of the gigabit you'd get with Cat5/6 cable.

I've got 500mbps homeplugs in my house which was rewired in 2012 and can't get close to the 150mbps of my Virgin Connection - 40-50 is about it. When I can be bothered running a Cat5 cable upstairs I will but they're adequate for now.

So yeah they're adequate depending on what you need but they're never "as good as" an actual cable
