    Ah – that explains it.

    What’s a walk-in-centre?

    I’ve never heard of them.

    Take the train to Waverly rather than Haymarket. It’s nearer and you’ll cut out the tram-works. Catch the bus on The Bridges.

    I’d guess the damp would be more likely to cause problems than the fungus. Given that you couldn’t detect the fungus until the floor collapsed it can’t have been too pervasive inside the house before then .

    You’ve cocked this up by not getting a lawyer involved when he bought a partnership.

    Now you need a lawyer to sort out the mess.

    If you are going to burn wood this winter then get it Now and get it properly dry over the summer.

    Mrs Donald makes a fantastic Old Peculiar chocolate cake.

    I’m more of an “eat cake” than a “make cake” kind of guy.

    I agree, holding his fork like that – quite appalling.

    Or has it always been like this, and I’m under some sort of delusion about how lights work in this country

    I think so.

    I wouldn’t have thought it a good idea. I’ve been there on foot and don’t recall thinking it was good biking terrain.

    What is this “shopping for clothes” of which your speak?

    I think I last bought some clothes in 2007. Socks I think they were. Ghastly business too – shan’t be doing that again for a few years,

    I’ve got a small Black and Decker driver that takes ordinary AA cells.

    It is awful, no power whatsoever.

    I just want a simple one on I can put on when I need it. Sets of graduted ones sound like too much faff, TBH.

    They are however, exactly what you need :?

    A polarizing filter won’t be much help in lots of situations.

    I’ve done the event 3 or 4 times, first time on a rigid. Good fun, but better with sus forks! Take care on the descent, the worst bit was just before the taramc when I did it. Changing to slicks at Garva Bridge worked for me.

    Not really.

    The reason the sky “blows” is it so much brighter than everything else. So the camera can either give you a nicely exposed sky and a dark foreground or a nicely exposed foreground and a blown out sky. The camera just can’t cope with the range of brightness in the scene.

    So what you need to do is darken the sky without darkening the foreground. The traditional tool for this job is a graduated neutral density filter. (There are digital techniques which do the same job as this but results vary from excellent to awful)

    A UV filter is mainly just a protective piece of glass you can fit to your lens. It is supposed to cut down on haze a bit but I’m not sure they are worthwhile to be honest. It won’t help your problem at all.

    A polarizing filter is not the same as a UV filter. In the context of this question it might actually help sometimes. What it will do is darken the sky a bit – more in some directions, less so in others. This is usually used for artistic reasons and on a bright sunny blue-sky day will probably help a little.

    It won’t help on bright cloudy days, or shooting into the sun or other situations where you have a brightness range larger than your camera can capture. Here you need a graduated ND filter or to experiment with HDR.

    To some extent we will see as there are clear differences in policy between Scotland and England
    5 yrs should tell us. By that time the nukes in Scotland should be offline or going off line.

    Torness is currently due to be decommissioned in 14 years time. It is expected that its operating life will be extended then by refits.

    I live 3 miles from Torness. It hasn’t caused me any problems yet.

    I expect it to be decommissioned in about 20 years and I expect a Torness B to be up and running by then.

    Right.

    Someone put up a tent in their garden tonight and leave thermometers in the tent and their car.
