I get the point you're making. That said there are definitely people in my life that are (very obviously) better and worse at reaching out, and I assume it's similar for most people? I have friends who are phenomenal at reaching o

Yeah, I don't think we're disagreeing which each other. I'd assume eventually it will work exactly like you suggest - I just think we're very far from it right now. I see it very much chicken and egg - trying to encourag

You're right. I've just had a google and looked on https://www.zap-map.com/ - there's not enough though. But I stand by my original point - it's hard enough to find somewhere to park, never mind the

I'd love to know WHY it takes over an hour to load Outlook? Can anyone enlighten me as to what takes the time? Is it connecting to something and periodically backing off when it can't? Scanning something? What?

"Ultrapop" was one of my favourite records last year. Great band, very exciting and worth a listen. Although if you're not a fan of hardcore in general I suspect it won't make your regular play list!

Totally anecdotal, YMMV - but in my late 20s I drank an awful lot. (Probably) Not problem drinking, but we'd go out 3 or 4 times a week and I'd get pretty drunk on most of them. I also enjoyed (and still do!) a casual drink - part
