and national debt affects you how
day to day what difference to your life?

Are you serious?
Who do you think is going to make up the defecit, the labour party?

Ummmm,errr, let me see; how about national debt for starters?

With that sort of logic, I'm not surprise that you agree with Clarkson.

No one cares what you think.

Yes, Britain now is worse than it’s been for decades, but the lunatics who’ve made it so ghastly are on their way out.

I completely agree with this.

Where family is involved, no problems.
But I am a nasty vindictive bastard and not adverse to violence if needs be.

That's right. I've killed women and children. I've killed just about everything that walks or crawls at one time or another

Ooh yes

I like it, lets see it built!

Change the f**king record

Screen? white? that's racist, that is. 😀

I went form 5.1s to 355s and they've been great. No detectable flex and I'm 14.5st (lost a bit!).
I'm riding mainly Cwmcarn and Afan.

2007 model, i think.

Hey Dudie, is there anything in the way of cheap skiing holidays out there? (away from the nasty euro?)
EDIT; Maybe I should have said "howdy" dudie

Been to Opatija although wouldn't recommend (too many fat germans)
Brac and the islands are **** ace.

Avoid Bosnia, some of the countryside is pretty but it is still very full of landmines.

Avoid Bosnia, you will NOT like it.
Croatia, on the other hand is excellent.

Good luck to them I say

What a gash ad. "Join booty. Stag on". I bet there's loads of young men thinking "yeah, I'll have some of that!". Whatever happened to Frank?

milk, honey? Not exactly portable or easily handled.

10 years of wearing very heavy backpacks and running long distances in boots have taken their toll on my back and knees.
Only running once a week now, Boxing and Swimming.
For those of you comfortable in your masculinity, Yoga has helped immeasurably.

longer, slacker, more stable, a much better descender. It's also a better climber, lighter, pedals better and generally just a better bike

You sure that's not just a load of bias?

Titanic sucked balls. walked out as soon as i could

drug-smuggling story "Death of a Freerider" for Nomadic Pictures

I guess he dies in the end, then. Perhaps a less revealing title?

On one inbred. Definately.

Cheers Tracknico, you've explained it better than me.
I also **** HATE the word "coolth"

There's a whole series of lectures for this graham.
Thermal comfort is affected by a number of factors; mean surface temp, wet bulb temp, dry bulb temp, RH, air velocity, clothing, metabolic rate etc etc.
These change according to the season and the temperature of a building has to adjust accordingly. Having said that very few buildings have adequate zoning of heating.
There was a prof called Fanger whos work provides the basis of most modern beliefs of comfort. Interesting stuff if you like that kind of thing

Somebody has been studying fanger 😀

Began a course of Tamiflu 🙁

What about TRVs? You're only working in 1 room, so why heat the whole house? Why have the heating on at all? Just MTFU and get in your sleeping bag.

To be a littl emore constructive, I would suggest buying you're electricity from a green (renewable) tariff. Look at the control of your heating (timers, optimisers, deadbands etc as well as the set points). 21degC is usually ample for IT suites. Do not allow heating on weekends for the odd joe who works. Recycle obviously and look at composting food waste if you have a cafeteria. Put signs up for staff to turn off lights (this actually works!). Record your energy usage weekly from the meters and aim to reduce it every year, you cannot quantify what you do not measure.
Personally, I'm comfortable at 20degC which is cold in comparison to most people. I have absolutely no requirement to "MTFU" thank you.

Graham, have you studied comfort?
EDIT: in fact, have you ever managed a building or designed HVAC systems?

Renton, how old were you when you joined crabfat?

Yes, I know. That doesn't mean that it couldn't be enforced, or that it couldn't be given as a reason for turning the heating down.

Right. So you're proposing heating temperature checker people?
Get real. It is unenforcable and rightly so, 19degC is insufficient for most people in winter.
The BMS sensors would need to be calibrated every month, the amount of complaining to the FM would be unmanageable, the amount of costs to regulate and inspect would be prohibitive, churn would be massive (which has a cost) and productivity is affected by comfort (or lack of).

Why do you think they're trying to do it?
A sense of moral responsibility?
If they're serious about this, they'll send staff on training or employ a good engineer.
On the other hand, if they're just wanting to demonstrate green credentials to a client with the minimum effort and cost possible….

Like it or not, crouch potato is right.
How can you try to project yourselves as "sustainable" engineers when you have no **** idea about sustainability?

The Fuel and Electricity (Heating)(Control)(Amendment) Order 1980 prohibits the use of energy to heat non-domestic buildings to more than 19 deg C.

Thsi was bought in after the last energy crisis and nobody has bothered to change it and it is never enforced.

Ha S&J, you've actually taken your chinese fighting suit into the field?
F*** THAT!

squad leaders

???
It's not as bad in some regts/corps as in others (the guards etc).
I've heard plenty of ruperts with regional accents.
They are not really listened to or respected until they react captain.

I remember being issued the old "crisp packet" jacket and trous.
Every one on the ex with goretex was as comfy as could be expected, where as all the blokes with the old kit were p1ss wrapped, shivering etc.
I for one will never moan about Gtex, Event or paclite.
