I think it is just that the install hasn't finished downloading in the background. Even though I have a 35mbps connection, it seems to be downloading very slowly, although the "hidden" directory is showing 4.1GB now, so it should be nearly done.

Even given their 'reservation' system, it looks like they under-estimated the amount of data they'd have to push out to people, or at least are rationing it somewhat..

I've given up on them, but I used to have appalling 'luck' when I bought them at Tesco - didn't even get what you won! It was so bad that if it turned out to be a fix I'd be the first to shout, 'I KNEW IT!'.

Serbian Lottery
Have a look at that. It's worth watching the video. Put me in mind of the Channel 9 lottery in the Fast Show.

The odds of winning the UK lottery will be getting much worse soon as well - on a par with winning the Euromillions but even worse. Iirc they're going to add more numbers.
Lottery linky
Pick six from 59 numbers. Odds of winning the jackpot increase from 1 in ~14 million to 1 in ~45 million. On the other hand you get a free go if you match 2 numbers.

Lotteries are stupidity taxes. Only play if you can afford to lose the money.

I only ever play it in any form once in a blue moon. Until recently I hadn't played it for decades!

Personal fail.
We're having some work done to the drains, it turns out.
I know this, because I've just flushed the toilet.
And had a knock on the door from a fairly grumpy plumber.

:lol:

Apologies mate, etc.


Poor show there Mr PooflusherF, urine a lot of trouble if you do that again, does he scowl and make angry faeces at you now? :evil: was a crap idea to use the toilet at that time, his respect for you has probably plumbeted downwards :evil: saying that if he had knocked on the door and it was me I would of told him to bog off.

The database we use. Just fed it a single line bit of SQL that looks at 3 tables and this is the execution plan it came up with :?:

Er, what are we looking at? Is it meant to look like that? I need context!

The query I gave it to do should have resulted in:

INDEX SCAN ==> EVALUATE ==> SELECT
TABLE SCAN ==>
TABLE SCAN ==>
