Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V
In our rural setting the roads are few and far between. In their wisdom Aberdeenshire Council Roads Department have notified two separate diversion routes to avoid two places near home where two separate roads are closed for maintenance this week. The only problem is that both diversions take you to...

Re: Octopus Agile electricity tariff UK
....Regarding electricity tariff is it worth then to have a smart meter to take advantage of the hourly fluctuating prices?

Re: Octopus Agile electricity tariff UK
The electricity board tree cutter guys seem to come round about every four years and have a look at where our line runs next to the adjacent small wood. I phoned them a couple of years ago as about 6 sycamores had grown up in our garden and were within falling distance and close to the line as well ...

Re: Octopus Agile electricity tariff UK
Just received tomorrow's prices for 24 hours for our UK Octopus Agile tariff. Here's a snapshot from my phone for 0600-1600. Many hours of 0p/kWh and two half hour periods where they pay us to use electricity. Looks like there will be a couple of washing loads done, plus the dishwasher run and a fiv...

Re: USS Nimitz
That is scary looking at the apprehension of the pilots in the crewroom and watching those night landings in that sea state. So much easier in similar conditions for us helicopter guys to stop and land rather than to land and stop like the fixed wing pilots.

The UK £0 annual car tax for electric cars becomes £158 in April 2025. My £0 annual car tax expires in July this year. Just retaxed the car online at £0 for another year. It now expires in March 2025 at which point I'll retax it for another year at £0 a few weeks before the expiry of £0 rate. Saved ...

Grand Orange Lodge loses appeal over Stonehaven parade ban
Phew - thank goodness! The views of over 9900 locals (Stonehaven population in 2021 was 11,060) who signed a petition or who formally objected against this march have prevailed. No closures and boarding up of shops tomorrow so we can go shopping, peace reigns. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-...

Re: Navy Wings on BBC2, Tuesday 19 March at 1830
Yes, noticed that. Surely that should have indicated in the cockpit and put an end to the formation bit whilst he sorted it out. Presumably being a late mark the u/c operation would be hydraulic as opposed to flying with the left hand and pumping with the right hand as per the very early versions.

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V
One of our local "poo people" has "We are #1 in the #2 business" emblazoned on his truck. Catchy. We had a local guy out to clear the pipe between the house and the septic tank as unmentionables were bubbling up though a rodding point. His van had "My business is going down the drain" on the sides.

Sympathies to Mrs Hydro - the pain can be excrutiating. My knee was drained on two occasions before I had the op, with two steroid injections at the same time which worked for a few months each time. Hope she feels better soon.
