Random Irritations

My new boiler not connecting to the WiFi so we can’t use the app
Tried everything recommended on the internet, splitting the 2.4ghz and 5ghz signals so I can select the 2.4ghz WiFi, made sure the router is set to DHCP etc, I even added a WiFi extender at the weekend and it wouldn’t even connect to that. Only two options I believe are to try and connect to a WiFi hotspot on my other phone or set up another router using an Ethernet connection from the virgin hub.
Proper stumped me this one

If it is a new boiler, is it not up to the installer to sort this?

Not really, it’s via an app on my phone so I wouldn’t let them near it anyway. All they did was connect the boiler to the wireless controller/thermostat, I guess using the app is just an extra

Melvyn Bragg retiring from "In Our Time".
I've always admired the way he has hosted it. Letting the experts talk but chipping in at appropriate times to ensure it is kept in control and understandable to the listener.
I've learnt so much from that programme, or useless information as my missus calls it.

Oh well, good luck.

Currently sitting in the cafe/gift shop at Marwell Zoo.
The price of everything is ridiculous.

We had 1 cheese sandwich, 1egg sandwich and 1 child’s Ham sandwich all pre packed. 1 latte, 1 coke 1 Capri sun.

The cost £29.95.

They have traditional sausage roll on menu £9.95

No wonder I’m the only person in here

If you were the only one in there you must have been stuffed and in need of a loo afterward.

To be fair the coffee was fairly decent and the sandwich was the type you buy in a supermarket so that was all fine.
It just felt like it was a case of being ripped off which no one enjoys and it was like that all day.
I saw more charity tins than animals.
We go to different zoos and wildlife places fairly regularly and unfortunately Marwell is bottom of the list by a long way.
On the other hand we went to Whipsnade and had such a good time we booked a hotel and came back again the following day.

Some plonker in the 60mph average speed section of the A52 driving at 45mph for the whole 5 mile section while being the lead car. Had a train of vehicles behind them. Ridiculously slow.

Having to google people in the 'Celebs who have passed' thread. Some are really obscure!

Ah, the transient nature of “celebrity”
You can be huge in a particular decade, then either retire or go out of fashion.

30 years later only the old folks remember you

Look at Simon Dee, nobody under 40 has ever heard of him

40 is optimistic. I'm 55 and have only heard of him from pieces about 'forgotten celebs'.

Your point is highly valid though.

Driving back home on the A96, going about 60mph and some idiot a couple of cars in front threw a tin of that Monster out there window, who the hell throws stuff out of a moving car

A knobhead. That's who

 

[Fade and Die]

A knobhead. That's who

This reminds me of a Poll on Twitter…

“What car automatically do you assume is driven by a knobhead?”

I went Audi. And it was easily the “winner”

Mobile signal in the UK is also poor. Noticing it loads when out and about in the car. Making a (hands free) call is a proper lottery.

So is it that the boiler cannot connect to the thermostat?

Our boiler sometimes loses connectivity with the thermostat (Hive) and I have to remove the batteries from the thermostat, place said thermostat close to the boiler and then reinsert the batteries to restore connection.

No the boiler won’t connect to our WiFi signal, it connects to the wireless thermostat perfectly
I used to have Hive with the old boiler and it worked perfectly, the new boiler seems to have the controller built into it.

I’m 45 and never heard of the fella! Is he the brother of Zeba Dee!

I see the Celebs who’ve passed thread usually have a cursory look and move on I’ve hardly ever got a clue who any of them are

Ah well....I'm of less than little use then.

Im in Mauritius and I've just overheard a German and one of the waiters discussing Manchester United's woes and whether they are better off without Onana!!!

When we had Virgin i had to buy a WiFi extender to get WiFi upstairs in our house. Our walls aren’t even thick and our bedroom is directly above the router. It couldn’t get a thing! It’s one of the reasons we switched.

I have Whole Home Mesh WiFi. Gives us a strong signal throughout the house
