iOS Peacock App with VPN

I’ve tried various VPNs but Peacock have obviously blacklisted a few. Has anyone had success downloading the Peacock TV app on iOS using a VPN? If so please let me know which one.

Ear microsuction
at 09:38 15 Aug 2024

Anyone else had this? The new version of syringing.

Since swimming in Portugal last week my right ear felt blocked, to the point where I could barely hear, and nothing was helping (drops, olive oil etc.). Turns out wearing earplugs to sleep, in hot weather (sweat, urgh), then going swimming is not a good idea. Anyway, the pharmacist said it was a wax build up, so softened it all up with some eardrops and got a microsuction appointment down at Liverpool Street this morning.

Wow. Painless, relatively cheap and now I can hear EVERYTHING. Feel like a new man just in time to hear the North Stand properly. High recommend.

Does anyone else work at a University?
at 10:59 1 Aug 2024

Interested in whether you are secure in your role given the pressures in the sector?

We (at UCL) are a little more immune than most due to prestige (arguable how warranted it is) and the research income we receive but starting to hear rumblings about restructures, cuts etc. if student numbers fall further.

EDIT - I am about as secure as it gets due to the nature of my role, luckily..

Stansted Airport help
at 13:28 19 Jul 2024

My sister flies back from Portugal on Sunday 4th. I fly out to Portugal on Monday 5th. She lives in the Midlands, I live in South East London. We're staying at the same villa, my brother-in-law's place, and I need to get the keys off them. Nowhere to leave them on site in Portugal, and feels *probably* safer to seek options in the UK. Anyone aware of a solution at Stansted? Coded lockers etc?

A cursory google doesn't fill me with much hope - LeftBaggage doesn't allow different people to deposit and collect, naturally.

Elections in your lifetime
at 10:47 30 Jun 2024

Caveat - I'm not saying it's done already, or a certainty etc. - go vote, whatever your proclivities...

But, since you turned of voting age...is this the most foregone conclusion election? Certainly is for me, in terms of polling and public expectation. 2010 was my first as I am 33 years young. Summaries below for the 3 major parties in England:

2010 - Tory/Lib-Dem coalition (T:306, L:258, LD:57)
2015 - Tory (T:330, L:232, LD:8)
2017 - Tory (T:317, L:262, LD:12)
2019 - Tory (T:365, L:202, LD11)

Coffee junkies
at 10:21 6 Jun 2024

Got a love hate relationship with coffee as I've had palpable physical anxiety over the years, but still love the stuff, especially cold brew in summer. Anyway, got a spending app recently and noticed I was spending a bomb on the stuff when I went into the office (3x a week roughly), and on the weekend too when I'm out and about.

So thought I'd make my own cold brew (lol). Bought a Hario jug/filter thing and started last night - was skeptical, but wow, tastes great!

So looking for tips for making your own cold brew (how long to brew it, to dilute or not to dilute, bean recs etc.)...? Cheers in advance.

I have a +1 to an Everyman screening of the brilliant new TV series RIPLEY, with a live Q+A between Edith Bowman and Andrew Scott afterwards as part of her Soundtracking podcast. You'd have to come with me, unfortunately.

6.30 at Broadgate.

J Block works
at 06:53 23 May 2024

I saw on a less than reputable Facebook group that someone has been asked by the club to move from the front row of J Block, to the South Upper. Anyone know why that might be the case? Camera installation?

I'm aware that boxes are going in behind J Block, which is a bit frustrating if it means less chance of standing all game in our little clique.

Felt like I needed some psychological closure otherwise I would never return to normality, so attempted to pen something about experiencing Hull, Cov and Huddersfield all within a week. Not sure it particularly worked mind, but I enjoyed it nevertheless. Hopefully you will too.
