@Dru_Marland @guriben I had to google porron. Can you tell I’ve not traveled much…

via Echofon in reply to Dru_Marland

@guriben Yeah, I’ve had one before. Oddly, two places I’ve been in sell salt sachets made for them but not the pots…

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to guriben

Hrm. Wonder if I can buy a neti pot somewhere in Bristol…

adamhillscomedy It would be truly ironic if Benny Hill turned out to be the only 70s entertainer that wasn’t a sex offender.

@guriben Well, as a hack it sounds intriguing, but I should probably just practise more.

via Echofon in reply to guriben

Ow. One day I’ll learn to play guitar regularly, rather than neglecting it for months and then cheesewiring my fingertips for 3 days solid.

@ahnlak @tsunimee Again, just laziness combined with my service being good enough and not wanting to sign up to new stuff before I move.

via Echofon in reply to ahnlak

So, signing up to the TPS though BT’s website *triggers BT spam and you have to call them to stop it*!? pic.twitter.com/mBXwfHk705

via Echofon

@ahnlak @tsunimee Yeah, looks like it does. Not that I’d ever have asked for that. It’s probably just some remnant of whatever was cheap…

via Echofon in reply to ahnlak

@ahnlak @tsunimee Oh, yeah, that’s a point, that £18 might include some calls. But not many.

via Echofon in reply to ahnlak

@ahnlak @tsunimee I’ve got a couple of add-ons, I think. It’s been years since I set it up.

via Echofon in reply to ahnlak

@ahnlak @tsunimee Yeah, that’s the other thing, I’m not on any kind of contract. Could drop them both next month with no penalty.

via Echofon in reply to ahnlak

@tsunimee @ahnlak That’s more than twice the highest I’ve ever had at home :(

via Echofon in reply to tsunimee

@ahnlak Yeah, you see, if your ADSL had never topped 4Mbps, you might be more tempted by fibre.

via Echofon in reply to ahnlak

@tsunimee @ahnlak Apparently I’m paying £18/m BT line rental, £25/m for internet. I really need to review that…

via Echofon in reply to tsunimee

@ahnlak Yeah, but what speed ADSL are you getting?

via Echofon in reply to ahnlak

@ahnlak My current grrr: Just as I’m thinking of moving house, they’ve finally rolled fibre out here.

via Echofon in reply to ahnlak

@tsunimee I rent the phone line from BT but get internet through Demon.
