Last post by morty - Today at 06:13:09 PMAnd to think ...if your heads already spinning ... that the New Year used to be the end of March, not December ..... the taxman is about the only institution left following the old New Year.

The Chat Room / Re: What annoys you
Last post by Raven - Today at 05:52:24 PMI got a pair of dark glasses that clip over my driving glasses, they do help a bit but not enough. Depends on the sun's position. They are great in the summer but not so much now. I don't know about these sun visors.

Last post by Dextrous63 - Today at 05:37:32 PMI'd check whether they're MOT compliant since, by definition, they reduce visibility.

Last post by Dextrous63 - Today at 05:34:53 PMMy head's spinning, depending on which calendar one wants to use as the datum (no pun intended) point 😉😬

Last post by klondike - Today at 05:10:46 PMThe Julian calendar had got ahead of the solar date so they took 11 days off it to get it in sync and put in leap years to keep it that way when they made the Gregorian calendar.
If they'd been doing the clocks back on last Sunday in October with the Julian calendar that would be earlier than it should be by current reckoning

General Discussion / Re: BBC Licence Fee to Be Repl...
Last post by klondike - Today at 04:48:45 PMDepends. Paying gets rid of YouTube adverts but not any promotions in things you watch
Most channels don't have those and you skip them anyway.
It's possibly the BBC hope to draw in some licence payers with their magnificent content
There has to be some motive for it and pointing out how easy they can be seen on there may be part of the game plan.
I can't watch any broadcast TV as there is no working TV aerial or satellite dish here

Last post by Dextrous63 - Today at 04:35:30 PMThought I'd watch Have I Got News For You on IPlayer last night as I wasn't tired enough to go to sleep, but it wasn't available here in Berlin. But, it was available on YouTube.
Since I pay for the ad free version of YouTube, it was, er, ad free. No idea whatsoever if this is the case on the free version.
