ROLF ON: can you tell what it is yet? ROLF OFF

Seriously, what is it?

That photos was from last year

No it wasnt, the switzerland one maybe?

wonder how up to date the pic is.

The University of Dundee’s satellite receiving station captured this image of how the heavy snow of the past week has affected the UK.

The picture, which was received at 1145 GMT on Thursday from Nasa satellite Terra, shows almost the entire country covered by a blanket of snow.

Ive got a Takamine EG 541SC, I do like it but find it a very bright sounding guitar, and the neck is very narrow, Kind of wish I had gone for a full dreadnaught and wider neck for my 1st guitar.

Its like this one, and am considering trading it in for something else. And that’s not my fence before you start!!

me too, bought a badminton racket from them a few months ago, reduced from £140 to £40, admittedly the £140 was probably last years RRP, but it still was a bargain.

I did pay for next day delivery but ordered lunchtime-ish, didnt get it the next day but the day after. Still pretty happy.

+3 for global. Started with a set of 3 which have been added o over the years and now have a full block, including cheese knife, paring knife, bread knife, flexible fillet, carving and a diamond sharpening steel.

The wetstone is also recommended

anyone tell me how to get past licence A-10 High speed ring battle?, I cant even get bronze!!. I know its all in the slip streaming, but its so damn difficult!!!

Same here in dundee, havnt slept a wink with the thunder and sheet lightning, only seems to have produced about 4″ of snow though and sounded a lot worse. I am sure there will be lots more snow higher up though.

wow! they should air this in the UK, and US, brilliant!! (brilliantly sad, moving and shocking!)

especially “like” the 2nd version

I never touch a drop when I am driving, and now I never will!!

I have the opinion that with the weaknesses question they don’t really care what the weakness is (everyone has one right?) just how you manage it – so I tend to get lost in detail and lose sight of the bigger picture at times. I handle this through creating milestones throughout the project that force me to step back and evaluate progress. I’ll let you use that if you like

This is actually my weakness, but I like the solution, I will use that if asked 🙂

Thanks for all the tips everyone!!

From 2016 new dwellings will have to be ‘zero carbon’, but few new dwellings will replace existing ones; the average replacement rate of the housing stock, during the last fifty years, has been less than 1% per year. This means that, in any one year, only 0.03% of carbon dioxide emissions are associated with the new homes built that year
and 99.7% of emissions are associated with dwellings built in previous years. Over 80% of the current stock of homes will still be standing and occupied in 2050. Therefore the required 80% reduction in emissions associated with energy use in housing cannot be achieved without significant improvement in the energy efficiency of existing homes.

I agree about adele, I am not her greatest fan (or anything in the charts for that matter), but she was amazing on Jools.

Becuase I like the video and am feeling mellow this morning

Jamiroquai – Virtual Insanity

Have we done Sarah Beeny yet?

Somebody has, several times, she always seems to be up the duff.

I can highly recommend this book:

has all the advice you need and 5k, 10k, half marathon and marathon plans that build you up slowly.

Unfortunately I am back on the 5k plan again after successfully doing a couple of 10k’s last year

Doesnt make the bike a very sustainable form of transport does it if you have to recharge the battery all the time?

I know it will be small but there will be some carbon emissions associated with charging the unit and that goes against one of the main reasons I ride a bike.

I do recharge my lights though, but not all year.

Do you sometimes get that strange feeling of deja vu?

Ive got a helipad behind my garden as I back onto hospital grounds, doesnt bother me one bit and was not even a factor when I bought the house 2 years ago.

Its actually pretty cool when on the rare occasion (once every 2 or 3 months) you do get a low flying chopper swooping overhead.

anyone else find that 1st video really jittery/not buffeing properly?

EDIT: bugger now I look stupid.

Someone just posted a spam link in response to this thread and its just been deleted.

As you were, nothing to see here, move along.

Buy one of those cheap plastic tubs with grab handles from a builders merchants to cart the logs in, I keep a basket full in the garage and then have a stack for evening next to the fire in a small basket.

Ive always got 3 tubs full in the garage, and a large box full stocked up in the lounge. Funnily enough my wood “box” isnt a box at all, but a small bedside cabinet we mistakenly got delivered which matches the rest of the furniture in the lounge. I decide to build it last week and left the door and drawer off, flipped it on its back, works perfectly, and looks stylish!

Now just looking for some decent modern fireside tools, anyone recommend any? Thing is the sets always come with a poker, and I think all I really need is a good set of tongs (currently using OXO BBQ ones!!)

And get that stem slammed!

eh?

Line the tyre logos up! My eyes are offended

Trust me I tried, but the combination of those wheels with nobby Nics means they can never be lined up properly

#Idontgetit

have I missed something?

Doesnt look any use for oversize frames too?
