It’s quite simple, people have lost the ability to communicate effectively. That whole situation could’ve been diffused in 30 seconds with a decent attitude. I’ve seen it here in threads where people start shouting about police state and how the police are terrible people. Sorry but you need...

Well they both came out of that looking like intelligent well-balanced people.

If the innertube has a Presta valve then you have to be a little bit creative to stop the captive screw closing off the hole when you squirt the gue in. Some remove the core, some remove the captive screw and let the core push into the tube. I normally don’t bother because I just use a bit of...

I had private health all of the time that I was working as part of my benefits package, never needed them once! Totally healthy, hardly had a day off sick in 30 years with that company. Retired - rebuilt a large agricultural building to pass the time, now need a minor hernia operation. I...

25 quid a year or bupa ( other products are available ) to achieve the same queue jump ;-)

£25 quid a year.. sounds good to me

yes it does add a bit of weight, you can notice it more when the bike has been stood for an hour or so and the slime all works its way to the bottom, if you spin the wheel you can tell it’s out of balance. Of course once you start moving it all distributes and you can’t feel it at all then.

Yes they were part of my consideration as well, but in the end I asked a few questions and they helped me decide what was best for me and the answers were given freely, so I accept that there is a real cost of that support. I suspect if I needed help it would probably be easier to deal with a...

I think I will do the same but I’m not going back beyond my mid forties cos I don’t want to start a mortgage again.

It was a good game, I enjoyed it regardless of the outcome. I reckoned after 20 minutes it wasn’t going to be so close but massive effort from a position that most would not have come back from Interesting tomorrow and not sure how it will go.

I was always under the impression that there where hundreds of different rhinovirus strains and trying to find a generic fix was impossible ( unlike targeting measles etc ) but maybe there are bigger fish to fry as pretty much everyone healthy gets through a cold by just being miserable and...

Didn’t some bloke called Darwin say something about that?

I burn smokeless coal cobbles in this weather as it means less trips outside but logs run on this stove quite well, it’s a multi fuel grate which means the riddle burns a bit on logs so I have a half inch boiler plate sitting on it to protect it. Anyway it’s nice and warm now and the glass of...

Storm Ellen is currently stir frying pheasant for my evening meal, I’ll let her know

Old and fat, two settings, none and everything

IME contact probes make more difference than the moisture content, I tried making a 4 wire bridge setup which I believe is what the commercial devices are, using my Agilent 32 channel mux to measure but even that was unreliable. Measurement of some ash which was seasoned many years just a bit of...

If it helps, I recently bought my TSDZ2 from Woosh, I found them easy to deal with and the bits arrived exactly when they said they would. I would deal with them again. I think you can probably buy them a little bit cheaper online but the saving isn’t massive in the great scheme of things. I...

Good I’m glad that worked out, I did think that was probably the case because when I first set mine up I didn’t bother fitting the magnet in my impatience to have a quick ride up and down the street, the behaviour was exactly as you described :-) 73 Paul

Far too unpredictable, finding those devices across multiple network sectors and determining what the output or effect on deployment is way to hit and miss, you would need to work out the end user application before deployment which means before sale and marketing... way back in design. Far...

Indeed, it’s one of my real hatreds of modern society. I used to think that it was an urban issue and that we in the countryside didn’t see it but it’s just not true. People fly tipping lay-bys and farm gates is common. Poke around the rubbish and it’s quite obviously local people not visitors...
