It's just because in the older Windows days, when it was just a graphics layer on top of DOS, it could only deal with suffixes up the three characters. You could tell if the server was running IIS or Apache. These days you don't see htm as much.

Just saw this news item http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-south-yorkshire-41777339 Now I don't agree with guy at all, but to be thrown off his university course for it?

Maybe they find your house very a-peeling. I'll get my coat.

But the downside would be that you'd be wearing a BNP/EDL t-shirt in public.

That would be a possibility, except Labour is just as clueless and rudderless as the Tories in regard to Brexit. If they could dump Corbyn and get Sadiq Khan at the helm, there would be hope. But that's not going to happen. The Corbynites are just as hopeless and hapless as the Brexiters. Sometimes I long for the days (not too long go) when Labour and Tories fought for the centre ground. Now there seems to be a competition which can go rabidly furthermost out to the extremes.

I had an email from Amazon a few weeks ago, saying "we'd tried to deliver, but no one was in". As the delivery address was a business, there was someone in and available all day. I assumed the driver decided it was time to knock off and just marked everyone as out. But to the OP, you would probably find that, had you actually seen the postie, he probably didn't have your parcel anyway... just the card.

It was illegal for them to ask for your age (or date of birth) in the first place, unless it was for legal reasons.

Given the censorious nature of universities and no-platforming, that's a little rich.

There are (generally) three layers to car paint - undercoat, colour layer and top clear layer. T-cut will help you if it is just the top layer. If the scratch is through the colour layer then you may need to repaint.

I suspect it's just a load balancing thing, so they can control the load on their servers and comms lines.

Although you are accidentally correct in saying the assertion is indeed unarguable, I think you were actually attempting to say it was 'invalid' The council itself said it has a legal duty. Who are we to believe - the council or a cyclist lobby group website, almost certainly written by someone with no real professional expertise?

Mailchimp is free if you have a list less than 1500 (from memory). The web interface for setting up your mailshot is a little... erm... challenging, though.

We have a separate small cold water tap on the sink that passes through a filter. It runs a lot slower than the main tap, so you need both. The filters cost about 30 quid and last about a year (they say six months, though). Pays for itself in no time if you've been buying bottled water. The kettle fuzzes up a lot less, as well.

Can the council actually override a legal obligation with "well, we asked a few residents and they agreed we shouldn't do it"? But yes, LynnB, best not to leave it to chance.

I'm just aghast - aghast I tell you - that a jogger may be forced to stop their run completely for 10 seconds or so. Oh, the inhumanity.

You are obviously on the top Virgin broadband package (200Mb/s). You could drop that down to the base package (50Mb/s). Unless you are doing something unusual on your broadband, you probably won't notice the difference.

Anyway, we never had the chance to vote for PR. But we did throw away the chance for AV, which is a much better system anyway - more stable than PR, more democratic than FPTP.

I reckon a Tory Hard > Brexit equates to a Labour Soft Brexit plus their > spend spend economic policies. We're fooked with > either of them... Yep, pretty much this. A choice between a nutjob right wing government and a nutjob left wing government is not much of a choice, really.

Not to mention that it broke the rules of the games as well.

Until now... Yep, pretty much agree with all that. I think Corbyn is a decent guy, but way, way out of his depth. In "Animal Farm", he would be Boxer... and will probably meet a similar end.
