Just the Sales to look forward to now!
Yep, get next years luxury chrimbo pud for a quid 
I was thinking more non food M&S stuff
I was thinking Boothes tbh. Our local and relatively new M&S is just a food (all wrapped in plastic and chilled for"fresh") and booze shop. A let down, thought Marksâ food halls would be better than this, but apparently not.
What cut was that? I once paid (at client request) 300⏠per kg for Wagyu fillet from a butcher in Meribel.
Not sure, it could even have been flatiron.
Aaaaand logging off the work computer.
Not be switched on again until 6th Jan,

Sorting out a fault in my DIY HDMI feed to my latest living room projector. The feed is concealed (pulled through the ceiling void from a socket next to the fireplace to the outlet plate for the ceiling-hung projector) and the pull path is tight in places. So thereâs nothing for it but to snip the cable and then reconnect at one end or the other. Fortunately Clever Little Box make this chappie
where you tease out the individual cable cores and feed each one into the appropriate spring-clipped connector. Unfortunately HDMI is a lot of cores - 19 plus a ground - and you donât want any of them to be very long as the video signals are very fast so most of the cores are formed into sheathed triads (twisted pair plus ground). If all the joints arenât perfect then you simply get a âNo Signalâ error at the projector, which is what happened at my first attempt.
It turned out there was one fault - core 3 (TMDS Data 2-) must have had the insulation trapped in the connector. It took half an hour to find and a moment to fix and Iâm now watching HD standard video on a 90" screen

Well it seems to have turned into Dub Reggae night at château Love bucket. Frankly unacceptably loud.

With hindsight, one of these?

Iâd still have to pull the cable (cables, in fact) and either wire ethernet connectors onto the ends or find some way of passing existing connectors through the outlet plate(s). There would be fewer cores but, perhaps, more connectors.
I should have allowed perhaps another 20-30cm HDMI cable length at the socket end so Iâd have been able to make a tidier job of the insulation stripping and of the coresâ fan-out. But itâs working now.

Our local is closed and wonât reopen until after NY.
Apparently they wonder why none of the Lokel Yokals drink there any more⌠
