It's not me. I've never given/received a helium balloon, nor been at the edge of a group that were giving/receiving one.

I blame the sort of people that'd read Heat magazine.

I've given and received helium balloons and never read Heat magazine.

I was given a helium ballow with legs as a teen. It was hilarious. For about an hour. It sort of walked around the place on its weighted feet in draughts.

And even though helium isn't toxic people have died from inhaling it. A waste of life as well.:(

So what you're saying is that we are using helium up faster than we dig it out of the ground, and helium reserves are dwindling. It is extracted as a biproduct when extracting other things e.g. methane from the ground. It has loads of industrial applications.

So basically helium is silver.

I'm off to ramp helium on the investments board.

Not getting a dongle signal - and if I do it's poor and keeps dropping out ..... I need to get onto the wifi here. Why is it that people with wifi don't just give you the code; they wait until you ask for it...... and now new flattie's out.... and I bet new flattie's not organised enough to know it/be able to dig it out......

Is it not on the bottom of the router on a sticker PN?

Our code is on a sticker on the bottom of the hub.

Dunno..... not owned a router for a long time .....

But then, I also don't know where the router is, except it's probably in the "office space" .... and I don't want new flattie walking in to find me having what looks like a nosey round their office stuff... IYSWIM.



I can wait.

I'll just do a walkby .... see if it's blindingly obvious where it is .... *whistles*

Edit: Found it, but it's inaccessible as it's tucked under the desk, at the back.... so I'd need to move the chair, pull out the PC with the hub on top, get some strong glasses on and write it down... then put it all back.... I'd rather wait than be caught looking a bit strange and presumptuous

Or stick a pin in the reset button, that removes all the security, as I accidentally found out:o
