I'm close to quitting all forums, ATD. Increasingly they're not worth the candle. My friends, who haven't already given up on them are now spread far and wide, like some 21st Century diaspora. If I can no longer enjoy a laugh and a joke with them, which is all I've ever used forums for. There's no p...

Good Morning People, Two brief comments. First: Just read about Twellers impending 'escape' this morning. I'll bet she'll be delighted to be back home (and I've said as much). It's good news. Second: Rwth. The Volvo 850R needs a Timing-belt change every 7 years (or 100k miles, whichever is sooner), ...

Much more closing and splitting of boards and we'll all have one each shortly, GLO

Will

Progress however slow, is to be welcomed

I read that somewhere.

Hi GLO, I agree with ATD. Ignore the snapping at you on the Yellow (Bowman) board. Think of them as noisy yapping puppies. I'm a tad surprised at a wannabe Admin joining in with that. She should be clamping down on it (though she has no powers to at the moment), she could at the very least be expres...

Good Morning all, It is brightening here now, after a wet night. Forecast is for more rain today though. probably tomorrow, too. I've been up since just after 5 am, had coffee (so am almost human) and about to take my dog for an early morning walk. Going to declutter my 'study' later. I've bought so...

You know of course that "politics" is formed from two root words: "poly", meaning "many", and "ticks", meaning "blood-sucking insects"? ;-) That is so very true, ATD. :roll: They're at it again already. Several times today I've heard them on various...

Hi Dragon, Sorry to hear you've fallen on hard ground. Feel free to flame anybody you see dropping stuff on paths. Will keep fingers crossed for good eye assessment on Tuesday. Am I the only one who is absolutely delighted that the last seven weeks of politricks is over? It's finally safe to turn th...

Did I mention that before I got a job wearing a uniform.
I qualified as a Marine Radio Operator? By 'Eck I can still send Morse at over 25wpm.

Good Morning EB. Hope you have a good day. Please pass on my best wishes to Jane.

Will.

Good Morning All, After a rough (high gusty winds and rain) night, more akin to October than June. At the moment it's still breezy, but there is a lot of blue sky and some sunshine about, so I'm not complaining. Glad to hear you are having a good trip over on the other side of the wet-stuff, Brian. ...

And! The answer would still be 42 and wrong.

Ignore them GLO. The software used on Peet's is quite ancient and would probably take far too much time to bring up to current spec. Even if it were possible.

I haven't totally wasted today - in spite of my best efforts. I shall certainly try much harder to waste this evening.

Hi Rwth, GLO and ATD,

I can't say I'm that surprised to hear about it closing either. But I left last year so it doesn't affect me.

It's quality not quantity on this board, Rwth.

Will.

I hope you both have a good time - and good weather for the weekend, too. My rally season (amateur-radio rally, that is) runs pretty much year round, but I don't start going to them until August-ish and even then, only if they are conveniently located or I'm looking for something to buy. I do enjoy ...

Safe journey and a very good holiday to you two, Brian.

Will.

A good day to you and 'J' too, ATD. Cloudy here, but patches of blue sky and sunshine and I think it's going to remain dry which is good for the annual steam-engine rally and carnival taking place in the nearest town. When I drove past the park where it is located. They had a good few engines and th...

Everybody has got to be somewhere, ATD.

Hope you are enjoying the rally.

I've no idea how the gas tanks work on hot-air balloons. Maybe once you've filled them, you have to burn it off to empty them again? Either that or release the gas to the air. I think it is the location at Bristol, which keeps their balloon-fest. going. It's fairly clear of fast-jet and helicopter t...

Thunder balloons was bought by Don Cameron's Balloons. Balloons seem to have gone out of fashion with the media and you don't get the great stunts like you used back 30+ years ago. I wonder if anybody remembers this stunt? http://twistedsifter.com/2015/04/richard-branson-london-ufo-april-fools-prank...

Two lovely days in a row. Are we being spoiled? It'll never last. :cry: I spent half of yesterday, painting and preparing some new vinyl roofing sheets, for a lean-to, by the Garage. Which I keep logs and other timber under, for burning during the winter. I hadn't intended to work on it today too, b...
