Euro productivity suite appears to be hosted Nextcloud and Collabora Online.
I would urge anyone and everyone to seriously think twice about giving BrewdDog your money. Google them - the CEO is a piece of shit human being.
There are lots of good alternatives out there.
Have you seen the Norwegian Consumer Council's new anti-ensh1tification video ? NO ? Why not, it's even in English.

Well worth a watch
No more Dirty Business ! The public, MPs and Environmental Groups have said NO to 14 years of illegal Thames Water sewage pollution. Email Ofwat now, so that they can't ignore us @weownit.org.uk weownit.org.uk/act-now/emai...
🚨On Tuesday the Prime Minister will order MPs to vote to undermine and restrict a fundamental cornerstone of our democracy - the right to trial by jury. It’s a move that will set us on a path to toward authoritarian justice.
MPs must step up and tell him NO

Easy way to increase the capacity of a train line, double deck trains but the loading gauge has to allow this. Are the bridges for HS2 tall enough? They don't look like they are.
We can't buy the same trains as Europe because our loading gauge is more restrictive (there's a lot of history to this) so we end up buying custom trains which are more expensive.
Passed over part of the HS2 works today and I started wondering about stuff no one has ever mentioned about HS2. Will the loading gauge be the same as Europe? Will it be possible to run double deck trains (loading gauge again)?
Waving or nodding will ruin their aerodynamics and slow them down so that's out of the question. Saying "hi", or whatever, will use a tiny amount of oxygen their muscles could have used again slowing them down so that's also out of the question 😉
Sick of Microsoft and Google? This new European office suite is a private, open-source alternative

Built on open-source software, this European cloud office suite aims to keep your data out of […]
I've had the opposite experience today, only one phone driver and one close pass. Very quiet day for me.
Don't fancy handing over your data to American interests
Europe now has it's own version of Google drive and office apps site

There's also the "it's in the trade" so it's not possible to trace who was actually driving it because it doesn't currently have a registered keeper.
Getting a bit fed up of being interrogated going through the gates to the platforms at Coventry station.
e.g.
As I walk through the gate: "Stop, you taking that bike onto a train?"
"Yes, I am" (did you think I was hoping to take it onto a submarine?)
"Which train?"
I specify which train
"Oh, OK"
Not just dangerous position/obstruction Warwickshire police aren't keen on dealing with, they'll find any possible excuse to avoid dealing with reports. I've reported quite a few to Warwickshire over the years and had a large number of different reasons why they can't be dealt with.
Stationary phone distraction isn’t harmless — the evidence is clear. It impairs hazard detection and reaction time, with effects lasting well beyond the interaction. This is road danger and it can (and does) have fatal consequences. Academic research strongly backs it (see pic). Enforcement matters.
Take local forces out of the equation entirely and have a national centre for actioning #3rdPartyReporting. For obstruction type incidents a phone app for reporting would be, imho, the most effective way of dealing with obstruction.

I've reported a few obstruction and parked on zig zags to Warwickshire police with absolutely no success at all. The response has always been that it's a parking matter.
The irony is physically painful.
Newly released footage shows an ICE agent killing Rubin Ray Martinez, 23, in his car in Texas.
"He was shot at point-blank range through his side window by an ICE agent who was in no danger."

Image shows Sian Berry stood to the left of campaigner Rosamund Adoo-Kissi-Debrah, and surrounded by a group of clean air campaigners. All of them are smiling and holding a copy of Ella's Law - the Clean Air (Human Rights Bill).
Image shows Rosamund Adoo-Kiss-Debrah sat next to Sian with a copy of Ella's Law on the table in front of them. They are both reading the Bill that is named in memory of Rosamund's daughter Ella who died aged nine due to exposure to air pollution.
Ella’s Law has been published 👏
No child should have the growth of their lungs stunted because of dirty air where they live and play, yet this is the reality of air pollution in England. Ella’s Law would change this.
My thanks to Rosamund and all the hard-working campaigners demanding change.
I wonder how many hours he spent in Clacton by comparison?
I'm using the scotrail app. Despite trying several different sites I'm unable to buy a true anytime day single.
In the second half of 2025, one man accounted for almost 40% of all money donated to political parties in the UK: a crypto-billionaire who lives in Thailand.
Britain desperately needs to rewrite its party funding rules.

An Anytime Day Single ticket for cross country only, if you don't know where to look for the tiny logo specifying it's cross country only you'd likely never know, right up until you're being fined for being on the wrong train.
Here's the cross country specific ticket
Make people dependent enough, and then.....MAKE IT SHITTY!
Got 1000 photos of your deceased mother? So sad. We'll make you pay to keep them!
God this is good. Thanks for expressing how I feel!!

“Providing the homeless with a place to live may seem like a high taxpayer cost. But the alternative, it turns out, is more costly, research shows. Subsidized accommodation could actually be a bargain for the public, in purely economic terms.”

Yes, but I would describe it as a tiny almost invisible logo.
After years of concerted effort to remove all left-leaning voices from the Labour Party, the Labour Party right have realised left leaning voters no longer see any point in voting for them.
