One of the tipping points for me to go 5G is that no matter which provider I used I kept getting the same type of faults and they couldn't fix it. New lines, changing master sockets, etc. multiple times. Something was wrong some where so I thought fuck it, not paying all that money for a shitty line which breaks all the time.

    I've been using a Three 5G broadband deal for the last 3 to 4 years. I bought an external antenna and it works great. Occasionally Three can struggle with loads but mostly I have all the bandwidth I need. It was £24 a month on a monthly rolling basis (£20 if a 1/2 year package was bought) but think it's £25.50 now or something. Still loads cheaper than what I was paying before for proper broadband.

    Recently, we (family) spend time each weekend looking for mushrooms and fungus (it calms my son and gives him something to focus on).

    I was looking through old photos with my son when I found a fungi photo from 2023. At the time I didn't know what I was looking at but thought it interesting enough to take a photo.of.

    We now think it was coral tooth fungus. I wish I had known at the time. Pretty special to see even if I'm a few years late in realising.

    There has been major disruption at the Port of Dover, the UK's biggest international ferry port, after masked "stop the boats" protesters block access

    Traffic was initially stopped from going in and out of the port - it says access roads to the site are "now free flowing"

    A government spokesperson says: "The right to peaceful protest is fundamental to our democracy, but we condemn the behaviour in Dover and the travel disruption it has caused"

    Images from the scene appear to show hundreds of demonstrators, dressed in black and wearing face coverings

    Protesters were chanting "stop the boats" and have been marched by police towards Dover railway station, our reporter in Dover writes

    Earlier, local Reform UK councillor Paul King said he had been told it is a "stop the boats protest"

    Kent Police says it is aware of the incident and is "engaging with protesters"
