    i doubt a bunch of saturday night keyboard warriors will be able to give qualified advice. You need to speak to an expert i.e. an IFA

    looks alright to me although I doubt it’d fit on my drive. I doubt even an X5 would fit on my drive. likewise a Q7

    My X3 does fit, next to Mrs D’s Citroen C2, but this is as big as I can go…

    it’s designed for model railways – a US product so designed to replicate the telegraph wires that used to run alongside north american railroad (their term, not mine ;-) ) lines. it’s elasticated so really easy to get a nice taut finish, but requires a bit of patience while the superglue sets.

    I had to do a couple of botches where the rigging meets the wing root and again where it meets the top of each undercarriage leg. But I’m hoping you’d have to look really hard to find it.

    Should also be some rigging under the horizontal stabilisers but my patience was running very thin. maybe later. Some Eduard aftermarket extras but I’m not sure how much they were worth the extra effort – with the exception of the seatbelts I don’t think much of it is even visible

    The after market carbon fibre effect decals on the Ferrari weren’t easy either, no matter how much decalfix i used, some curves just wouldn’t conform.

    The rigging on the Stearman is EZLine if anyone wants to know. Rigging is a PITA. But at least it wasn’t a sailing ship, rigging those really is a pain I can do without. Life’s too short

    Need to not fire Bielsa when a couple of results in a row go against us.

    funny how 10 Of The 11 players that finished last season so badly started this season so well.

    heck in the sky studio at the ground came across, to me at least, not very bitter, oh no, not him. “They never played that well for me”

    MOT. Mid table mediocrity again? Or dare we dream?

    Wish i’d learned to sing instead of play drums. A microphone takes up a lot less space than a drum kit

    he’s getting frustrated because he does not have enough to do.

    perhaps he needs to go looking for more work to do. If his supervisor can’t help, go to his manager. If his manager can’t help, then ask if he can approach other teams to see if there’s anything he can do to help.

    Needs to be seen to be proactive when the work dries up, rather than being seen as CBA

    What’s the probationary period?

    If he’s inside that they can simply fail him and it’s goodnight Vienna, although I suspect they may need to give him one or two negative marks as part of his ongoing probation review. They have been doing ongoing probation reviews, haven’t they?

    TBH they’re both equally good bad

    10 days ago I had a rear end shunt on the Winslow road out of Aylesbury. Got the car to Winslow then on advice of police officer attending, called RAC for recovery to Bradford.

    Recovery truck #1 took five hours to arrive & then would only take me to Leicester Forest East services.

    Recovery truck #2 took another 2 hours and would only take me to Tibshelf

    Recovery truck #3 was finally scheduled to arrive at 06:30 the following morning, so I told them to cancel it & i’d take my chances through Sheffield, Barnsley etc.

    06:45 recovery truck #3 rings me from Tibshelf, couldn’t find my car. That was because I was by this time 5 minutes from home. So much for cancelling the recovery truck

    each time, RAC quoted ‘90minutes or less’

    oh, and then there was the time in January when all I wanted was a recovery  to nearest tyre place, due to can of goo + compressor not being able to fix a nail in tyre, RAC quoted 4 hours. This is less than 10 miles from Leeds. BMW recovery got there inside half an hour

    I’m in Aylesbury Monday to Friday; don’t know how much the chips are but a battered cod is £4.40

    pretty sure I can get haddock & chips for less than a fiver at home in Baildon (near Bratfud). There’s a chippy in Shipley that’ll do f&c for < £3. Can’t speak for the quality mind

    As far as getting paid for your music goes, Spotify & the like suck.

    Direct sales on iTunes don’t generally happen unless you have a marketing budget, although there are various methods (and associated costs) of getting your music onto iTunes. Compared with the price of a decent recording, though, the cost of getting into iTunes is almost negligible.

    unless you have a marketing budget, I reckon selling CDs at your shows might be the most cost effective

    I went to Ed Sheeran at the Etihad the other weekend, tickets from SeeTickets. No names on the tickets. Stewards scanned the tickets with a device similar to what you see in some supermarkets and bosh we were in. No ID, no credit card checks, nothing

    glad i didn’t get them from viagogo though

    Correct me if I’m wrong but England (or Great Britain or the United Kingdom) doesn’t have a constitution; not a written one, anyway.

    A few years ago I worked for a manufacturing company in Bradford. One day a small number of travellers appeared on our staff car park. Police were phoned, typical response – nohthing. So one of the production managers round up a dozen of the biggest hardest looking guys from the factory floor and went over to the car park to “have a word”

    they were gone by closing time

    he’s a very old cat, on his last legs, so outside is not an option. not that it ever was, we’ve had him 11 years (from age about 8) and he’s never shown any interest in outside.

    just checking that what I’m doing with the litter is the norm

    (a) Take cake. Take ziplock type bags. Let the kids make up their own minds

    (b) take nothing for fear of offending some, and end up offending all.

    your choice. I’d go with option (a).

    However. Don’t forget to take sugar-free treats in case there are any diabetics. And gluten-free. And .. oh ffs use your brain

    If you’re in a soft water area you shouldn’t need the salt. I live in a soft water area (north of Bradford, West Yorkshire) and in 18 years never put salt in my dishwasher.

    Ok i’m on machine #2 now but #1 died of terminal electronics failure, not limescale. Pretty sure it wasn’t the water that did for the electronics, soft or otherwise
