    The toilets were fine.
    Our digs’ receptionist said it’d been refurbished and it’d lost some of its charm, it seemed OK to us.

    We’ve had a couple in the Shakespeare, back at the digs, now, getting the breath back. :-)
    According to the taxi driver, Tango’s is a good feed. So we’ll be in there, later.
    We’ll be having a walk round tomorrow, Jon, so we’ll see what we can fit in, before the thirst hits. :D

    Cheers, TNW, we’ll try that on Sunday lunchtime, before the train back.

    Chucked the bags off in the room at the city centre Premier Inn, Swan and Three Cygnets, a pint of stout and a pint of bitter, £4. Cheers.

    Is it possible to take the old strap out of the buckle, without cutting it?
    I got a replacement buckle for my Osprey pack. It was easy enough to fit.
    You might want to take a reminder photo of the threading on the original.

    +1 for avoiding leather soles.

    Or if you buy leather soles, which I prefer, the first thing you do is take them to get rubber soles added.

    The wife bought me a pair of Loakes from Next, they were great… until it rained, then it seemed, they wanted to break some of my bones.
    Thin rubber, as MrSmith suggests above, sorted them out. 18 months later, still good.

    I got my Oneplus 2 just before Xmas. It’s been OK, apart from every now and then, it gets a bit laggy, or the screen doesn’t respond to touch .
    The dual sim part that I wanted it for is great, though.

    When we moved in our new build, in 1997, we had Whirlpool integrated fridge and freezer fitted. I replaced the freezer a couple of weeks ago. I considered 18 years to be a grand old age, for a freezer.
    Its old mate, the fridge, is still working.

    As above, new cassette required.
    Or, if there’s any life left in the old chain, put it back on until you get around to buying a new cassette. Then put both new parts on together. Don’t leave the old bits on too long, though, or the long, old chain’ll start snapping and/or fubar your rings.

    Your local cat rescue will have plenty of kittens for you to choose from, maybe a bit later in the year, though.
    If you’re shopping for a kitten, they’re all cute. Fact.

    Cheers Northwind, 2 packs of the mega darts from your link, and another gun for them, for the wife (to use).
    The 200 beautiful woman small darts I ordered from your link on the previous thread, are the favourites with my Nerf war enemies.
    OP, you’ll never be too old for Nerf wars. Fact. :D

    Don’t know about Hull, but the Humber Bridge is worth the toll. There’s a car park on the north side, you can walk down to the pub on the bank, if the weather’s decent.

    I’d get some of those security hex or torx screws…

    Very easy to defeat, the pips can be knocked out with a screwdriver and minimal effort.

    This^.
    They can be bent/snapped off with a terminal driver.

    Stop worrying about him, then, he’ll sort it. Or he won’t. :wink:

    Not for me, fortunately.
    Could he try a controlled hypo, Gary? I mean, inject say 2 units of insulin, not eat, but go out as a family for a walk. Everyone gets the experience? Don’t forget the jelly babies. :idea:

    As above, OP, you’ll be able to carry on doing the things you’ve been enjoying, you’ll just have to try to be a bit more aware. Easier said than done, I know. :|
    I was diagnosed at the tender age of 30, I’m 56 now.
    For long days of MTB, I have a bottle of High5 in the cage, water in the Camelbak bladder and gels and cereal biscuits handy. I try to set off with my bm at about 10 and sip from the bottle when I remember. If it’s a road ride, one bottle of water, one of High5
    Bm test kit and insulin fit in the Camelbak or back pocket easily enough. When there’s a stop, run a check, sort it from there.
    You’ll find your own way of coping, any mistakes you make, try and learn from them.
    Hopefully, your diabetes team will be able to help, but as above, you might have to show them that you’re interested in learning.
    See if you can get on a DAFNE course, it’ll help lots, even just chatting with the other diabetics on the course, you’ll find out that you’ve all got the same/similar issues.
    Good luck!

    12 hour night shifts to work tonight and tomorrow night, I’ll be working on Saturday and Sunday day shifts (it’s a late start-early finish on Saturday, 7:30am-5pm, though).
    I’m off work all next week, so I’m not grumbling, I’ve not had it this good for a few years, happy daze! :D

    Cheers Northwind, I’ve just ordered 200 bullets from the top link.
    Fortunately, our house has Nerf wars every time our 8 year old nephew stays for the weekend, ie. every 2 or 3 weeks. Hence, I need one of the 72 shot guns, do you sell them?

    As a non-gamer, I’m now hoping I’ve not dropped a chubby. :?

    I agree.
    I managed to break one half of the waistband buckle (I think I may have trapped it in the van door). They sent me a new buckle FOC.
    Cock on.

    Cheers folks, I enjoyed it. Thanks for waiting.
    Sorry I couldn’t stop for the café, I could’ve done with a fat piece of cake.

    Update. Ellis Brigham were low on stock of most stuff, as were Cotswold Outdoor. I ended up going into George Fisher in Keswick. Bought an Arcteryx softshell in XL.
    I’m now even less rich than I was.
    Nice jacket, though. 8)
    Cheers folks.

    OK, folks, it looks like I’ll be going to Ellis Brigham tomorrow.
    Thanks for all the ideas.

    It’ll mainly get used as a day to day coat through the colder months. It won’t see much mountain action, after a weeks holiday in the Lake District, in a couple of weeks time.
    Edit: I’m big boned, so I won’t bother looking at the Arcteryx, ta.

    Arrow head style ceramic tile drill bit

    +1
    We had some new tiling done, the tiler gave me a small one of these ^. I drilled through the tile with it as a pilot, then opened the hole up to size with a masonry drill.
    I’ll do the same, next time.
