    MasterChef: The Professionals 2024

    The new series starts on Tuesday 29 October at 8pm so is a 100% clash with Bake Off. I think that's what happened last year. Marcus Wareing and Monica Galetti back as is Gregg Wallace though he tends not to be in every episode. Episodes also on Thursday and Friday at 8pm, Series lasts for 7 weeks as normal. Bake Off's final episode is on 26 November. So if Professionals gets shown each Tuesday there's a clash for the first 5 weeks, Regarding Big Brother, the rumour is that it lasts for 6...

    How to post a quoted reply in a different topic thread
    El Loro0 replies
    By default, quoting replies will get posted to the same thread as the quoted reply. There is a way in which one can post it in a different thread, These instructions are for someone using a computer. I don't know if it's possible with other devices. Draft your reply including the quote as normal. But don't post it. Instead click on the source code icon at the right end of the icons in the add reply screen (the <> one). That takes you to a different box headed Source code. Highlight the...

    Solar storm tonight
    El Loro17 replies
    👍
    There's an amber warning from the Met Office for a solar storm from the Sun which is expected to arrive at about 9pm tonight. The warning is until 9pm on Saturday. Looks as if this is the biggest such storm in 20 years. Could cause the internet and GPS systems to crash. In the UK, power systems are less likely to be affected than elsewhere. Could be spectacular Northern Lights displays in the north of the UK but may be seen anywhere.

    Water rates - very large increase in the 2024/25 bill
    El Loro4 replies
    Got my Severn Trent bill for 2024/25 this week. Noticed that it has increased by just over 14%. My water bills are not metered. The fixed charge element of the bill has the largest increase. There's the Fresh water category which has increased from £33.38 to £48.89 and the Waste water, surface water and highway drainage section which has increased from £31.80 to £46.65. Both increases are just over 46% . Those fixed charges are the same for everyone in my county whose bills aren't metered.

    Windows 10 January update
    El Loro4 replies
    Microsoft did their monthly security update patches earlier this week. The main patches installed OK but for many people, one didn't. The patch is number KB5034441. If you check the Windows update and security tab in settings chances are that you'll see that it's failed. Trying to install it again is likely to fail. The problem seems to be that the recovery partition on your computer is the default 505 MB and the patch needs it to be larger. Trying to increase the size of that drive is not...

    Any HSBC customer needs to check that they are paying the correct amount if using their app. A recent update means that you must now use a decimal point. So 100.00 rather than 10000 for instance, Before the update 10000 would have automatically changed to 100.00 Now 10000 results in a payment of 10000.00 https://www.moneysavingexpert....hanges-the-way-cust/

    A text-message scam that infects Android phones is spreading across the UK, experts have warned. The message - which pretends to be from a package delivery firm, prompts users to install a tracking app - but is actually a malicious piece of spyware. Called Flubot, it can take over devices and spy on phones to gather sensitive data, including online banking details. Millions of these text messages have been sent across all mobile phone networks. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-56859091

    Already mentioned, the new series starts on Monday March 1st, St David's Day. 18 episodes.

Monday's and Wednesday's episodes will include a new task for the contestants but nothing to get excited about 40 contestants in all. I assume that this series will be all done at the Masterchef kitchens.
