    • hope junior and others get home safely
    • Thanks, she’s gone in her car, should be ok if she can get onto A63. There’s going to be a awful lot of people to get home with no transport in an hour. Taxis now not picking up in the city centre.

    Stretch junior reckons Sesh is trouble free so far but they are concerned about getting home as bus and train services have been suspended. Apparently the throbbers are now targeting the car parks.

    Kicking off in Hull now. A “peaceful protest” outside city hall has relocated to the bus/ rail station next to a hotel where asylum seekers are housed. Bus service suspended and rail ticket office closed. It’s Sesh festival today and Stretch the younger is working on one of the bars, I’m quite worried this is going to turn nasty.

    Not Papas, you want Ernie Becketts in the market place or the Globe. Steels (also in market place)if you want to go upmarket.

    Jonathon Dimbleby just been on R4 suggesting that the pledge hasn’t been asked for by Chas and is the work of the Archbishop.
    Wondering if this is an attempt to distance Chas from it following the reaction but I can’t believe that Chas hasn’t approved it

    Mrs Stretch keeps bees, they are fascinating to watch especially if you get to see them being introduced to a new hive (I’m sure there’s some Youtube vids if anyone is interested) but quite labour intensive during the summer. They are highly organised colonies and it’s interesting to watch them going about the different jobs they have.

    As @lesshaste says the honey harvesting is hard work especially honey from rape pollen which is particularly difficult to shift and needs taking out before setting; a motorised centrifuge is a worthwhile investment if you are going to get serious about it.

    Another frost here this morning. One of my friends posted some pictures from April a couple of years ago at the weekend – they were having a BBQ in tee shirts and shorts.

    There must be an echo in the news. RAF Linton on Ouse last year anyone

    I think one of the reasons Linton on Ouse was rejected was it’s location – it’s quite difficult to get to involving a trek along some fairly minor roads. Scampton is a couple of miles north of Lincoln on the main road to the motorway network.

    That’s across the road Drac, you can see the taxiway opposite parallel to the A15.

    Mind you, the Christmas Decorations might provide some employment?

    The useable accommodation at Scampton has long since been sold off, the buildings there (with the exception of those just vacated by the Red Arrows and the met service) are derelict so new build accommodation will be required.

    Link to article that has got the mail going:

    £300m Scampton development “could be totally scuppered” by asylum seeker plans

    As for employment of the folks there for agricultural purposes, most of the food production is in the south of the county around Boston and Spalding – an hour away on a good day!

    Over Exposed is a hundred feet or so from the trig at High Shelf Stones on Bleaklow. Head north on PW from Snake summit until the path reaches Hern Clough then WNW up the swamp towards the crash site which lies between Hern Clough and the trig.
    You can head over to James Thorn where there is a Lancaster crash site ( pilot decided not to take the navigator for that trip!) and then down Ashton Clough where there is another crash sites (C47 maybe?) towards the bottom of Doctors Gate. There’s a bridge down there that has been designed for giants that takes you onto Doctors Gate which has a short section of swamp about a third of the way up.
    A walk worth saving for a sunny day

    1 hour of desflurane is the equivalent of driving 2-400km, whereas 1 hour of sevoflurane just 5-10km (although most of the anaesthetists i know drive Teslas). And it costs about 25% as much.
    Where i work we halved usage and are trying to get rid of it altogether.

    We use Des so sparingy it’s usually a case of hunting for a vapouriser – @reeksy have you been looking at the new scavange systems?

    NHS here 4%, however increased pension contributions have seen at least 2 of my colleagues who are at the lower end of the pay scales taking home less money.
    Union is balloting for strike action although I understand that the government is looking to outlaw strike action within the NHS (and other organisations)

    I’ve woken up with the dreaded “I’ve screwed up” thoughts a fair few times over the years, my experience is that things are never as bad as they seem when your mind is running riot at 3am, in my case my mind starts going around in circles with a corresponding increase in stress reaction.
    I reckon that going for a walk/ ride early on helps to calm and rationalise things and then go discuss some possible with your manager/ colleagues: it might be that they pick up on a detail you have missed.
    Good luck with it

    Regular visitor to York here, been for food, beer, museums, architecture, a ghost tour and even shopping. Never been there for any royal connection though.
    Most of the American and Japanese visitors want to see the minster and the Shambles in my experience

    Does anyone know why Germany has been so reticent to supply arms to Ukraine? Is it as simple as they want the gas supply to be turned back on? Because, to be honest, that doesn’t seem to happening anyway..

    It might or might not be connected with Gerhard Schroeder being employed by some of the Russian gas companies at a senior level.

    I’m in a different part of the NHS but we will be working so surgery can still go ahead. I would have expected a global email by now with details which hasn’t arrived yet so I expect that your community provider is in the same situation.

    As nickc says, it’s not rare and I am fairly sure that a lot of instrumentation was stripped out before it’s return to flight so it wouldn’t even be a particularly good museum exhibit. There’s a nice one that you can go look around (with lots of other interesting stuff) at Newark a few miles south.
    Elvington don’t want it so it looks like any potential new home will either be a long trip on on a convoy of low loaders or sadly a local scrap yard.

    @midlifecrashes that route is easy adapted to go to Brocklesby, head to Ulceby and then right to Brocklesby instead of going to Kirmington, would suggest that you ride to the arch and back on the estate and not use the A18.
    Good luck with the trains – a lot of the Cleethorpes – Donny trains have been buses lately.

    Canal to Keadby, over the Trent to Gunness, Flixboro, Bagmoor and bridleway to Roxby, over the Ancholme at Horkstow, up the hill and right along Middlegate then left under A15 to Kirmington, cross A18 and up the side of the airport. Left to Gt Limber and follow road to Swallow then left to Hatfield, left again to cross A18 to Waltham then it’s just a wiggle into Cleethorpes from there.
    Ernie Becketts in the marketplace is the chippy you want.

    Absolutely tell them, as others have said it’s common courtesy and your prospective manager will speak to your current manager about it.
    If you don’t, your current manager is going to be wondering why you haven’t already mentioned it and that might make your future relationship awkward
