In a pair of recesses in the air-raid shelter: a llive .303 round.
A dead rat, skeletonised but intact.

ta, somouk. If the washing machine trick doesn’t work, I’ll buy a different mount

Where does she live in Bristol? That might dictate your choice.
ZaZu’s is very good, the Glos Old Spot also , but that’s a pub. If you like Indian, try Hare Krishnan’s on Zetland Rd

The interest in Strauss-Kahn stems from his reported proclivity for non-consensual activity, following the alleged rape of a hotel cleaner in New York. (IIRC)

I like having one wife so much that having two sounds like an excellent idea. Or more.
Doesn’t N+1 come into this at all?

I found that raising the bars helped lots on my rigid, & took the weight off my wrists too. It could also be worth trying some Mary bars or similar, to change your hand & arm positions

Several people I know have moved, renovated a lovely property, then thought – now what?

People are more important than places. If you have friends, stay here.
It’s not easy to meet new people & interate after a certain age, so think carefully about what you are losing, as well as precisely what you want to gain.

I recommend damp cast-iron pan lids left over the weekend for giving an interesting ring pattern to your oak worksurface.

Shouldn’t we actually be inventing new stuff rather than celebrating old stuff?

We should be doing both.
My complaint is that we celebrate anniversaries of playwrights and painters and politicians, but the achievements which make a better worls remain unnoticed.

Meanwhile in Sheffield, it’s 100 years since the invention of stainless. And is the UK celebrating one of the greatest engineering / science inventions ever? is it heck.

Best wishes for a full recovery from all your woes.
I’m so sorry for you and the rest of your household.

I’d suggest the hills north of Nice, start around Sospel. There’s a train service there.
Also, have a look here:

Quite a bit.
We were a one-night stand that went hideously wrong, so 40 years later we’re still together.
The Dug-Out has a lot to answer for, as well as sticky carpets & Massive Attack.

or tune into Classic FM, for a Radio2 middle-of-the-road approach to classic music.

There was a quintet I heard last year which made me weep, but there’s no recording of that piece, however Bernard Kane also wrote:

Yeo Valley full-fat the bestest, but I agree that it’s easier to find 0% slime than full-fat.
Yeo make many supermarket brands, too.

If he’s riding 90% on towpaths etc, then I’d go for a hybrid or similar – that Smithfield above looks perfect with mudguards & Alfine 11. For more offroad stuff her could remove the guards & put knobbly tyres on, 1.9″ to 2.1″ should fit.

I can guarantee that all of the ones I see are herion addicts or alcoholics,

And that’s why I give money, they don’t have the ability to look after themselves without it.
I pay my “Gloucester Road tax” to the Big Issue sellers, every time I do my shopping. At least I know it won’t end up in the Cayman Islands.

I’m an old bloke. Until the change of government in ’79, I had never seen a beggar in the UK. I was shocked when I went to Miami in ’77, the first time I’d seen street people in the West.

Be careful with split tickets.
Booking in advance, you have to specif which train you travel on.
If your first train is late and you miss the connection, you’ll be faced with paying the full fare for the onward leg, on top of the money you’ve already spent.

Microsoft used to have a fax from PC facility as part of windows or office – it might take some looking for but it’s probably still there

Wrap some old inner tube around the bars, with tape to hold it in place. Then slice a 1/4″ piece of innertube like a thick elastic band, wrap over the torch and bars in a U-shape to hold the torch in place. Easy.

I know 2, both live close to the Gloucester Road. Both cyclists, too.
Send me your email address and I’ll give you their names,

Look at the Cotswold site, they have some on sale:

Zephyros 2 man

It’s a bit like Hebden Bridge if I remember rightly, the lesbian capital of France. Lovely walking, too.

Fettling implies more than just dirty fingernails. I had work as a fettler for a summer, tidying up iron castings for large electric motors:cleaning, removing sprues, grinding seams. It was a sweaty and unsafe job. Now the site is a bloody shopping centre.

See a thread a week or so about Amsterdam.
The answer is neither. Take the train towards AMS, change at Den Haag, stay Sunday in Leiden. It’s a smaller, quieter,prettier version of Amsterdam. Ideal for 1 day. PLus, trains to Utrecht every half-hour for Monday morning

You need a Prince Albert. The other sort, not the bike, but you might want one of those too.

I use MS OneNote on laptop and 2 android devices. It also worked well on my Windows phone when I had one. If you have Office, you may also have OneNote installed, but I think that the mobile device versions are free.
It’s excellent, I use it for note-taking, recording events, map PDFs, images, etc

Suggest you contact DeadlyDarcy of this site, he’s a hardwood floor specialist.

Stoner, you haven’t fallen far from the tree, have you?
I shared a flat with two alumni for a couple of years, and the first girl I noticed went to the school next door.

The “Young Ones” house is about 50 yards from mine, we watched some of it being filmed when I first moved into this house. Various locations are on the Gloucester Rd in Bristol, and some scenes in Arnos Vale cemetery.

I’m told that our (now dead) cat is visible in one shot, but I’ve never spotted it.

Next Friday is crunch day, but as I’m nearing retirement I don’t mind. But I’d prefer a couple more months, so I’m not unemployed in the worst months of the year.

I went to a conference in Barcelona at which around 10% of the attendees were known to have been mugged or otherwise robbed. There may have been more.

I’ve had 2 attempted robberies in Barcelona, once the beggar’s baby trick, once the chocolate milk. So I conclude it’s not that safe a place.

You wouldn’t think it, but Malaga is a good city for a couple of days.

I don’t like the city much, having visited both for work & play. As above, there are better cities in Europe. Choose somewhere you can get to from your local airpost… Seville, or Girona / Gerona in Spain.

How about going to Leiden instead?
it’s like a miniature Amsterdam, without the sleaze. It’s got the canals, the museums, the pretty houses, some more culture.
Instead of getting the train to Amsterdam from Schiphol, you just get one going in the opposite direction for 20 minutes.

It could be air, especially in pressurised systems which take top-up water direct from the mains. The heated water degasses over time.

You can check which it is: hold a lighter close to the gas comeing our of the bleed valve when you open it. Hydrogen burns with a visible flame.

A pension’s a way better bet: if I stick £1000 into my pension, I get another £250 in addition straight away as tax relief – and that’s before any investment returns. I’d like to see a BTL portfolio which is outperforming a 25% guaranteed increase…

I have to disagree in the long term.
If my wife & I buy a flat together, and she snuffs it, I still have most of that flat left after any death duties. (Which these days aren’t much unless you have over £1m each.)
But if she puts her money into a pension, then it disappears upon her death. If it’s a shared spousal pension, the monthly payout is smaller.

Similarly, we could pass much of the value of a BTL to our children.
Also, if a 40-year old has a BTL, the income starts immediately, not after a 20-year wait.

It’s not the money fountain you might expect, if you have to pay a mortgage that’s frequently more than the rental income. Be careful of building maintenance management fees if you buy a flat in a block. It can be good if you pick the right area, get good tenants, manage it yourself.

I know some people who bankrupted themselves buying off-plan in Manchester, living miles away and couldn’t get rents that covered their outgoings.

Conversely, it’s possible to get about 3% return, excluding property price changes, if done right. regard it as a part-time job, not just an investment.

>> Bruneep, I looked at the same a few years ago, but concluded that the rental income from students over 2 years (1 year in hall, 3 year course) would not cover the loan costs and agency fees for buying & selling.

I suggest you move in quick, don’t tell the current owners, then after 12 years it will be yours.
(IANAL – the law may have changed in the last few years, but that used to be the case)
