i had to have a lump like that cut out 50+ years ago

@wheelsonfire
are you sure theyre not wavy caps?

(by detecting bird song heard from outdoor cameras

Thats interesting.
Im envious really

but I do have red kites picking chicken off the shed roof

I so I haven’t necessarily physically seen all of these,

i doubt very much that you have seen Water Rail,Cattle Egret,or Curlew, for a start, in your garden. Theyre pretty hard to see anywhere

shared and signed
lets just say thats what killed some of my closest relatives. Im surprised Im still here

just noticed these socks and bought some, no idea what theyre like, but £4.99 pair

UK opted out of the EU clean water regulations, so now we have our own water quality rules, but no one knows what they are. So now we might have much better minimum rivers and lakes quality water than permitted in EU (tap water too?).
Or maybe worse

there is David Britton – Lord Horror ebook on piratebay, but you have to install something to dload it, so i wont bother.
There is a big list of in thailand, like the king never smiles,

my guess
1. Grey Knight poisonous -ok maybe not, but best not to mistake it
3 sulphur tuft

I would.Again. All the fantastic places to visit on airasia. And the durians. And the climate

I got this all working fine with the 5100 mech. It helps immensely if the cable is connected on the right side of the bolt
I may fine tune the chainline with bb spacers but im really pleased that it all works

theres some 3pack of ISOBAA Merino socks at sportpursuit for £20, 20% off if you buy 3 today, and i get a discount if you use that link.I dont know what theyre like though
I have an isobaa merino top which i really like even though it seems thin its kept me warm
I got a few pairs of Karrimor merino walking socks from a major sports shoe shop ,2pairs for a tenner,most soon had holes in, but i love the ones that dont

I had a couple of unlock codes off ebay that arrived quickly and worked.
£8 seems a lot

Audi 2.0tdi 15yrs old (not me,im 64)
Had 6yrs ncb but something (didnt)appear in a car park so only 3yrs ncb now,clean licence
Last year was <£400, this years renewal with RAC was £1030,so I just got a quote for £600 last night so took it
Thats fully comp,no breakdown or legal, monthly

earthballs- look like small puffballs, btu often more brown and/or scaly.
Break them open and theya re black inside. Real puffballs are white all the way through, turning brown when they get too old.
A good place to start is to know all the poisonous ones before you pick any,and leave them if youre not sure.
Some people react differently so just eat a little the first time,,and others may make you sick if youre drinking

usually if i reply, noone else bothers to comment, so i try not to spoil the threads anymore
On the other hand, i dont have lots of wisdom to add and try to put it in a form that people can relate to, consequently it never looks good so i dont bother that often

t never ceases to amaze me how slowly people amble through life.

If you ever get to chiang mai,thailand, the Sunday Market shopping street is one of those places where yo’ll lose all hope, as the shoppers move from stall to stall,at snail’s pace, in one impenetrable mass, like a packed concert where youll never get through to the front. A 2 minute walk takes at least an hour

What’s the best app for identifying stuff?

I just installed Mushroom Identify and Picture Mushroom as theyre the most rated on Play, but the ones Ive seen others use work pretty well, although there is often some confusion with similar looking ones that may be deadly, and they may use american names etc.
Just because a mushroom is edible in uk, doesnt mean that the same ones you see in other parts of the world wont kill you

being awake, and people that expext you to act like youve slept in a week
Also doctors that wont give you sleeping pills, the non addictive ones, in case you get addicted, or because they make other people go sleep-driving/shopping

i wouldnt say that. A lot Ive seen have appeared stunted,(apart from chicken of the woods which have a really good turnout) due to the dry conditions. Thats in northants .
Although i was in gwydir forest a month ago and saw more biggerer mushrooms than i have before, specially chanterelles and boletus, though ive never been there before
The season seems late this year

put them in the microwave for 4 mins then in the oven with the chicken steaks for 25 minutes

You do realize that you cant buy anthisan anymore?
Everywhere is out of stock.And the prices they want on amazon/ebay!!!

none here in northants, but last week or so zillions of tiny white flies, midge size, and just float around in the air like ash
Never seen them before, and theyre not as itchy as mozzies, but you cant go outside for 5 minutes without lond sleeves on. I havent seen them actually bite, but theyre most irritating

Brendog getting robbed again 🙄

is that why hes not doing a 2nd run?

they should do it over a week, so theres a good day to do it with no wind.
Otherwise its a waste of time

i used to hitch with a lid a lot in the late seventies. got a lot of lifts, but never a BMW, or a HD
Guy on a panther 600 with an armchair for a sidecar being the most memorable

i wanted to know some irish history for a long time.It was never taught to us at school in the 60s and 70s, and only ever heard one side of things.Never knew any irish
I didnt find out im part irish until my late twenties

Were some Irish were sold as slaves,in the west indies? I read about it once

last time i remember was New Years Eve 1988, I hitched form cambridge to scotland in 6hours, for hogmanay with the family.
I saw the bus full of VIPs going to Lockerbie after the bombing
Id always give a lift to hitchers if i had a car, I know too well how it is to be stuck for hours, or overniht, at Knutsford etc
I can vaguely remember getting a lift in the back of a van with goats or something in, indonesia maybe

These tiny white flies, like midges, that appeared last week, millions of them, you cant go outside for 5 minutes without itching

definitely read up on them, theyre too good to miss

I miss the hills there, would have liked to do more exploring lockerbie way

those chanterelles look real to me

Are you getting 9 clicks when the mech isn’t connected?

yes

Back the low limit screw off and see if you get the 9th click.

I tried this,its just the same
I dont see anythin really relating to M5120 on shimano site

Since i had almost the same problem with the sunrace 46T/goatlink/XT m786 derailleur, maybe i should buy a new shifter anyway

I did adjust the stops
I like to think that i know what im doing, especially when it comes to setting gears up.
Although my memory isnt what it shouldve been

Yes, the chips in holland were lovely, with the mayo, but even better with pindasaus
And 2023 would be such a washout, had it not been for the prolonged dry spells which prevent the mushrooms growin beyond pygmy proportions
Also Im in the middle of doing something mildly important, so Im watching this thread instead/in anger
Possibly because so many things I try to do have failed miserably that I no longer have the faith to try anything

i shouldve said,if i click it until 8th gear, its level with the biggest cog and wont click anymore
As above m5100 has no logical explanation for not being 10speed compatible, despite not being on the above chart

Is it possible that my m610 shifter is b******d and will slip 2 gears under tension?

This has become purely another exercise in frustration

so i have the m5100 rear mech, but only can find 8 gears
Its the 10speed M610 shifter, is the cable pull the same as the M6000?

I get 10 shifter gears/clicks with the cable undone, but connected the derailleur moves the correct distance from 1-10, but only 8 clicks. So I lost 2 gears somewhere

I havent put the chain on yet

the natural history of badgers, by ernest neal
I love to see them,spent too many wasted evenings trying but failing,but fantastic when they get close
the book is well out of date but still many facts you wondered about, lets hope they are still here for the next generations to see.
And these generations too, if theyre not turning a blind eye to whats going on, or have any interest beyond coronation st

i couldnt answer that one so…couldnt find the answer anywhere

So the 11-46 etc came out as an aftermarket option, never really worked well, but then shimano made their own one with a suitable new derailleur, but never told anyone?

thats exactly what i did. Couldnt get the m5120 with clutch for that price, so crossed fingers and ordered the 5100
