Re: Octopus Agile electricity tariff UK

To continue with the chainsaw "branch" of the conversation: F3 do you have any quick pointers about chainsaw safety beyond the obvious paying attention when it starts and wear heavy gloves and protective spectacles? I might do some wood chopping and any tips would be useful. Regarding electricity ta...

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V

Good morning fellow members. I have a doctor's appointment at noon to get a sick note as I have a cold that fortunately is more annoying than anything else.

Not much else planned for the day.

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V

Sunny start of the day for the lazy day I have here. Not much planned obviously given it is holiday. The only activity I foresee is a visit to the producers market for the weekly supply of oranges.

Re: More Boeing Bad News

But the skilled people need time (mainly) and resources to do the job effectively. Or alternatively the current lot of workers could do it as well if allocated the resources. I have helped customers to correct an upcoming problem when I the company allowed for it, and kicked the problem down the roa...

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V

We had one with the large rear door and I think the registration was G-BGJV. Yes, she was on lease for a while, I think awaiting the delivery of the new ones. I did a few trips in her, because she was our demo aircraft for a while. Sadly she was shot down near Jaffna, Sri Lanka in April 1995, with ...

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V

My 'blower is ready to go, though of course the problem at the moment would be getting the hundred feet or so to the barn. Very easy to get disorientated, and people do die around here attempting such. Fortunately the wind isn't full storm strength, and almost everyone still has power. However, any...

I used to love them as a pax - while all the muppets were queuing up to get out of the front door, I would quietly slip out of the rear one and beat most of them to immigration.
Let alone the view when using the rear staircase

Excellent news llondel. I hope from now on the vet only delivers good news. Sunny and warm (15 C) here although the weather might get colder over the weekend. The fiber optic cable was laid yesterday with a minimal of annoying noise and dust. We used some dirt to close a hole on the pavement althoug...

Enjoy the trip (and correct me if I am wrong) but you have started a great pics thread about landing in Alpine airports so if you are that person do add some more if you can.

Sorry to hear about the poodle particularly as she didn't have time to say good bye.

And obviously the definition of difficulties depends on who has to to cope with those difficulties - if adjustments for the winter are explained in a warm office or a different beast than having to cope with freezing fingers and below zero temperatures.

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V

Despite my better judgement I agreed to satisfy my current partner to get a subscription based TV (a bundle of channels actually with documentaries and movies) mainly pushed by my desire to gain some domestic peace. The offer was great at 12€ per month for a 12month contract plus a wifi extender a d...

Morning folks. Good steady rain :-bd See that they have published a list of the safest airlines. Do you really want to fly with an airline which, statistically, is due for a prang? How do you like rain since it doesn't help the solar system? Your comments about the white list of airline safety mark...
