    Assume v. Presume

    NYPD is singular, so 'say' should be 'says' I think.

    Broken series links or just me?

    Radio Times had Wednesday's Repair Shop as one of their 'Choices' and didn't flag it as a repeat (which they normally do if it is) so if it wasn't a repeat I would have expected the series link to have picked it up. BBC obviously thought otherwise.

    Broken series links or just me?

    I missed an episode of Repair Shop this week due to the BBC changing the series link as well, so you can't blame your box for that one.

    Ch4 programmes missing?

    Channel 4 SD, HD and +1 were all missing until yesterday, but the HD is now showing OK. Other two are still blank. Sutton Coldfield transmitter.

    MoT PSA/heads up

    The MOTs weren't exactly 'postponed', just extended by 6 months. One of mine was due in June but was automatically extended to the same day in December, so I effectively got 18 months for the price of 12 last year.

    Hard drive woes - new 2TB Seagate Pipeline, lots of disk errors

    I bought the 1TB version of this from Amazon (seller was Abel-TV Handels GmbH) a few weeks ago. My HDR T2 didn't recognise it, and neither did the Bios on my PC. Sent it back and got an immediate full refund. The label on the drive didn't look like other Seagate drives I have, so I was a bit...

    HDD Problem

    Thanks. I'll try again.

    HDD Problem

    Roughly how long does it normally take to format a 1TB hdd in an HDR T2? I've put a new drive (Seagate ST1000VM002) in my spare box to format it to save tying up my main box, and it has had 'processing' with a rotating icon on the screen for about 5 hours now. It has 1.03.12 standard firmware...

    Words we cannot abide.

    Deliver, and much worse, "deliver on" . My wife works at a University. They don't teach anything these days, they deliver learning. When did learning become a noun?

    Words we cannot abide.

    "going forward" Unless you've got a time machine that's pretty much the only way to go.

    Since we'll all be locked in our houses, Coronavirus

    My wife had a replacement HSBC debit card last week, and the letter that came with it said contactless won't be enabled until one transaction had been done with the PIN. She didn't actually try using contactless first, so it might have worked if the letter was BS.

    Assume v. Presume

    Actually, I think 'data' is plural anyway, so if the statement was made in the present tense it would be correct!

    Since we'll all be locked in our houses, Coronavirus

    I have no spleen, so I'm in the vulnerable group due to reduced immunity. Went to M&S early yesterday and they had 3 staff members and a security guard on the door only allowing the elderly and vulnerable in for the first hour. I expected to be challenged, and was prepared to show them my scar...
