“Consultation” where i work means being told what will happen (whether we like it or not).

Imaginative, but the master bed looks a bit small.

The most annoying thing about this ‘debate’ is the label cyclist. The % of people who ride bikes, who also drive must be pretty high, and the % of drivers who are also pedestrians is 100%.

The were the soundtrack to many nights in Portsmouth University students union when i was there in the early 2000s, and saw them live at Reading in 2003. So good live. RIP.

I got to spend £30k on stuff i could never afford, and i get to use them.

I recently had the pleasure of costing £30k worth of cameras, lenses and kit for work. That was a fun couple of hours.

I work in financial services…I’m currently in a suit and tie. Thankfully we have aircon, otherwise I would have melted after my lunchtime run.

I remember reading an argument a while back that suits are a major contributor to climate change, for the reason you state: in office in suit = need for aircon.

Hark at you privileged folk with a thermostat in the office.

What are the tyres and what state are they in?

If you didn’t catch Boris Johnson with Eddie Mair today, you should really give it a listen. The final question – what is the point of this prime minister – is awesome.

I’ve got a triple on one of my road bikes, so not dead for me.

The SNP lost 45% of their seats. That is a pretty poor performance.

That iMac Pro looks tasty. If they are putting that much into an iMac, i wonder how powerful the new Mac Pro will be!

I suspect most people in the thread will have seen this, but this chart astounds me.

Castelli is pretty true to the size chart

I’ve always found this to be the case, and i really like their fit. I’m 6’1, 79kg, 39″ chest, 33″ waist and i’m a medium for Castelli across the board.

The UK is the birthplace, too hard to pin it down to one invention in one place.

Ah, definitely random CaptJon! Did it happen in the end?

Anyone understand the map? Curious about the horizontal lines that are in some of the water.

The artist became a PhD student (supervised by the physical geographer and myself), but we never wrote a bid for the project – not sure why, guess the principle investigator didn’t think the ideas we came up with where feasible.

I think those lines might indicate temporary lakes when the snow melts, or bogs/mires

Interesting! May I ask what you were researching? Assuming it wasn’t anything to do with reindeer?

It was actually quite random and when i tell people it starts like a joke: A human geography (me), a physical geographer, an artist, an art historian and a phd student walk into a palsa field…

It was a scoping trip to see if we could write a multi-disciplinary research bid centred on peat landscapes. The idea was each person would write a proposal from a different perspective and we’d study how different people used/lived in/understood places like the peatlands of the northern pennines, arctic and malaysia.

I had the Airfix model as a kid.
Very, very boring to build, but a stunner when finished.

I have run out of Lego room, unless I try and sneak a small LOTR set into the downstairs bog.

Wow, lucky you! Was the meat an acquired taste?

Not really. It’s like a game-y beef. And like beef tastes differently depending what form it came in. We had it in quiche, meatballs and smoked/dried. As we ate the meatballs an adult male wandered past the window of the research station canteen, fortunately it didn’t notice us or what we were eating.

This feed is so relaxing with the music and Norwegian poetry.

I went on a research trip to Northern Finland 18 months ago and saw them in the wild. We also got to sample their meat in a number of different forms – dried and smoked was particularly good.

At this rate Pompey are going to win the league!

A full bladder does.

I thought the 1210s were rated highly because of their robustness for DJs, rather than sound quality. Could be wrong though.

I’ll just drop this in here:

That is a very weakly argued clickbait piece. His problem is that RFID protection is an unnecessary industry, but there are plenty of other unnecessary things to spend money on.

Argument 1: less than 1% of people have contactless credit cards so don’t worry about it. This website[/url] suggests there are over 100m contactless cards active in the UK.

Argument 2: “It would be a lousy use of a criminal mastermind’s time [to RFID skim]. Today’s smart criminals break into websites and steal hundreds of thousands to tens of millions of credit cards at a time.” Today’s best robbers break into banks and jewellers, but that doesn’t mean people aren’t breaking into houses or nicking bikes as well.

Argument 3: “Still worried? If you actually have an RFID-enabled credit card, it turns out aluminum foil does the same job, if not better, than an expensive RFID-blocking sleeve.” £5 isn’t expensive, and it could save you money.

I can only assume it was caused by barbed wire as it leapt a fence.

You not very imaginative, then?

My dad is Irish, and born in Ireland so technically i’m an Irish citizen. I’m in the process of getting a passport, if only to skip queues at airports… but maybe one day getting a job in the EU.

First half absolute shambles losing 5 nil.
A little bit of mild hairdryer treatment and pointing out the fact we at least need to challenge for the ball saw the second half finish 3-2
So, all in all a good 8-2 whooping but the kids were a lot happier at the end of the second half as they actually had been involved in a game.

wrightyson out!

Ewan will get sparked out in the first ten seconds.

What was the result?
