    No, but you have found some Iron Bacteria.     Congratulations on your new pet.

    It’s bigger than the Estate with the seats up.  Presumably even bigger with seats down.

    I can get a small wheel semirecumbent Tandem in the estate.   Not as Tall as Pug 206sw.

    Swinging by a swimming pool, hotel or using marina shower facilties is a superior method of cleaning while camping.   Drinks bottle lids and seals dissolve in petrol and get stuck.   I’ve got 6 in My COSHH cabinet at work from a predecessor.     Disposal is proving awkward.

    I’ve used Mpeg Streamclip  (PC and Mac) in the past to capture via firewire and do file conversions.   It’s possible you are missing codecs that may be redundant these days.

    If you don’t have camera control you may have to press play.

    Maths teacher?    Theatre and events carpenter?     Lots of rigging and engineering calculations to do.  Managing crews as well as timber construction of scenery.

    There are loads of other options within the industry made up of people winging it.

    You don’t NEED Insurance, but it’s wise.  Maybe see if you can include recovery at Sea to avoid calling out the RNLI for a controlled situation. However I’d suggest you do an RYA powerboat course, do some maintenance (Again RYA does these too.) on your 1996! Jetski.   Learn some meteorology, do some tide research, Buy and register an EPIRB.    Plan for every eventuality and don’t go out at all if the situation could change.

    Based on my touring e-bike…I’d only have full suspension off road.   When the back end drops, it does so hard.   My rear rack has cracked as result of me dropping off kerbs on occasion.  I shouldn’t, but I do.   :-)

    Travel and work anywhere – abroad if possible.  There are better places to be and the best time to find them is when young.

    Go to Uni at 30 40, 50 even for a second career.  Only do jobs that are Fun.

    Teamup.  The free version lets you use 8 diarys and you can configure how you like.   I use it to plan some warehouse space, logistics/my own time and note other stuff.    I share it with other folk so they know how busy I am.

    I am trying Trello too but Teamup is actually a better design for my role.   I have loads of small missions a day that change very quickly.  Trello suits longer term stuff.

    Rights of the child applies here.  Pay him not to play?   Incentives a Tenner now, and 50 if he keeps quiet for 6 months.  Buy a goal set?   Make friends with him?

    Deploying mosquito, dog shit and threats is the most childish and selfish response.   You would deserve dog shit on your house.

    I like Gin and 7up.  Taste like opal fruits.   Although since sugar tax have had to migrate back to Fever Tree Tonic or in emergency,  Milkis.    (Korean fizzy yoghurt pop)   Gin and coke also a thing.

    Data connection at Glencoe is so poor you are unlikely to see any live feed stuff.    They can barely operate credit card machines at times.   You’ll just have to be patient.

    It was drizzly and sketchy on the rocks.   They were running about 40 mins late due to weather I suspect.

    EasyJet Tickets to Croatia, Corsica…anywhere really.

    Highlights of my German girlfriends review…. “One big massive nightmare”  “seems like the whole uk working class have come to waste their money in amusement establishment of hell”  “I could not stand a day here again”  “There is nothing that would attract me back”    “I’m checking in to Premier inn for a sleep”

    I went to Gourmet burger place – Staff seemed gently stoned, caramac milkshake had some of the wrapper IN the milkshake.  No apology or refund given.

    I don’t get it but people love it. I was prepared to give it the benefit of the doubt, but what a dump.

    There is some rough stuff on the John Muir/Three Lochs Way but it is obviously a well built path.   (and requiring ongoing maintenance)  It is open to bicycles and in the summer would be a better more rideable route with fewer walkers than the busy West Highland Way.  Get guidebooks here to help fund it and let the volunteer access team know what you think on FB.  The FB page also has updates on alternative routes should Forestry work be in progress.    http://www.threelochsway.co.uk

    The dimples or lines mark a crossing, more likely to be detected with a cane rather than your feet.  You read braille with your fingers so there is no other information there.    It would be unreliable anyway as they are often only partly reinstated or left as lethal moving hazards after utilities works.

    The odds are pretty low for many coincidences.       Sharing birthdays and names and connections.    You Need about 23 people to get matching birthdates in a random group.

    My mondeo just needed a new exhaust gas sensor and a regen.    Expensive,   but hopefully good for a while yet.   Their software is a bit pish and tells you nothing useful.  The Bluetooth crashes.

    Still its smart, and comfy and a great hauler of stuff so its staying for the noo.

    The i40 is frantic, noisy and stiff like a toyota.

    I got threatening letters despite setting up an account and was convinced I had paid at that time.  Entered card details etc.    I think they have website that doesn’t make some of the process clear.    I had to phone eventually to pay as paying online as instructed by their first letter didn’t work.

    I’d love pay as you go motoring taxes but not with threats like that.

    After touring everywhere since feb I went at night if I could for the least stress.   avoid m25 – 1500 – 1900 if possible.    all my trips to london from glasgow took 9 hours.    rest, faff time, roadworks, accidents use up any contingency pretty quick during the day.      Register car in advance for daartford tunnel.  they might still cock it up though.

    If you are riding with the possibilty of a trailer tipping with a child in it, you are going too fast?

    I have never seen a child with a properly fitted helmet other than my own nephew.  and it was me that corrected it and not his mother!

    50k each way?

    charge the battery in his office?  Carry a second battery?Move closer to work?   50k is ridiculous by car never mind a bike!

    You don’t need to leave the house for shopping these days…it can be delivered by bicycle/van in the victorian stylee.

    I stayed with a pest control guy recently.   He moved some bumble bees from someones garden to his own garden and charged the folk £90.    Seems a reasonable tax on the stupid.

    Yep.  I can do this by pulling my thumb up towards my hand.  if you hold it tight and long enough it “gets stuck”

    I have no idea about what causes it though although i suspect electric\chemical things are involved causing a spasm.

    Had it sailing and biking too on occasion.

    hybrid electric cargo bicycle for the last few miles or delivered in advance in electric van.

    Cities need to change.

    I’m already nudged.   I do long trips to the cities in a big diesel and the last mile by electric bicycle.    No parking costs.  No searching for parking.

    I’d reel in the driving distance and halve your expectations.      Take weather into account and give yourself hanging about time.  Or drive to where the weather is good and stay there.  That’s how I do Scotland.

    For an indoor cat, A mix of the worlds best cat litter with something cheaper.    Flush the poo.     Bag and bin the pee clumps.

    No smell.    easy peasy.

    I prefer an outside cat tho!!

    24 hour supermarkets in England are closed at night and on Sundays.   So not really 24 hours.   In Scotland they are open all the time.      This is mainly why we need independence.

    Busan is not that bad really.    There is a great children’s park which is the nearest you get to rural access.   I thought Texas street was an interesting feature!  And a park built on an old American air base.  Wee museum here and watch towers still on site.

    Most will speak English or have an English menu for you.  Google translate app is handy.

    <span style=”font-size: 0.8rem;”>Food is excellent, accomodation is also usually excellent and cheaper than you’d think.     Korean barbecue everywhere.   The smaller places are often better than the big touristy ones.    Street food is good.      Food is life for Koreans.  They also love baking and in some places there is a big french influence.  Try hite beer and milkis!      </span>.

    Traffic cops on  are often not local and no use for directions.   They would be considered cadets in the uk.

    Note how the underground system is designed with nuclear war/sheltering/typhoon in mind.

    Bank cards worked perfectly fine most places.  Think we had one issue somewhere but just used the one along the street.    Card worked in hotels and shops too.

    Lots of shrines and museums.  Some are deserted, others can be mobbed.

    We stayed in a traditional bed and breakfast with heated floor and mattress in the floor.  Ok for a night or two.  Lovely host who cooked proper trad food.

    If you are in Seoul and climb the hill to the north take your passport as you can’t access the top otherwise.  It’s been a fortified position for the last 500 years at least and is still doing the same job.

    The jeju diver woman do a demonstration but you can see them all over the place.  The south of jeju is pretty , and more up market.

    The mountain hike on jeju looks good but access is restricted. If you are not halfway before the cut off time you cannot proceed to the top.

    The local population on jeju were massacred at one point by the mainland government so there is a wee bit of history there.   They are also not keen on the building of a new naval base on the island.

    Its basically a smoke machine from a nightclub and everyone thinks you are a ****.  The long term health issues have not arisen yet.    Probably an even more malingering death.

    I’m already anticipating banning of motor vehicle from city centres.  I use diesel car to get to cities, and then electric bicycle for local transport.

    Just bought a circe morpheus tandem as a car replacement for home with the money saved from not driving in cities.
