Tried to raw plug a concrete lintel last week. Was tough thought I was finally making progress till I pulled out and noticed half the drill bit had ground away. Eventually used a smaller one to make a pilot hole.

Our two used to stop over every Saturday night, seem to remember it was only from about the ages of 5 to 14ish when they became a little more independent. Mostly one set of gps once their younger cousin started too.

Can only think of one full weekend, didn’t want to take the P. Although the inlaws do so for the cousin fairly frequently as well as picking up from school some days.

I just got the birdseye suggestion, had been wondering what it had to do with fish fingers.

Looks like a 32 on the MCB. Will check the cable sizes, the clips say 4-6.

a socket somewhere else as the two cables coming out the right hand upper side look like different sizes – one probably being lighting.

Yes, the socket below is a dead end, as is the other fed to to right and the smaller cable is lighting. Also correct, the garage is being fed from an RCD protected circuit on the main house consumer unit.

At the moment I’m thinking best option may be just to extend the existing ones to a more convenient location (behind plasterboard), presumably there is no harm in a belt and braces approach by replacing with the RCD ones as suggested.

So that is as simple as just joining the two existing sockets and putting the two extra in between?

Right people, right place, wrong partners.

^^ what he said, or alternatively get some of that interlocking chipboard loft flooring and screw it to the wall joists, paint it white.

Never underestimate Estate Agent’s incompetence, do your own research.

The new moto x play has the big battery 3600 mah mine does 2 easy 3 at push. There is another Chinese one coming out, see Clove, with a 4000+ battery.

As a fairly timid 11 year old was dragged in front of an angry Head Master for throwing a snowball at his office window during break time. Protests were met with a confusing revelation that he saw me do it!

Some weeks later in assembly he held up a large ball bearing that had come through the same window. Again he announced he knew who the culprit was and they were to stay behind afterwards. As if.

Switched from commuting 5 days a week on the bike to car-share 3 and bike 2. Result was to want to go out more weekends, in fact actually do more miles. Riding is way more efficient than walking, can’t you just take it slow, get a SS?

what are the bars on that?

Selcof KP50 Bull Horn

Had a Roadrat, enjoyed the springy feel till I tried touring on it. Bought a Kaff and have done more miles on it than any other inc ti, 853 and plastic.

This is the country where they charge a 17 year old as an adult sex offender for having pornographic images of a minor on their phone, even though it is of himself taken by him when he was 16.

In another story an 11 year old is charged with bringing ‘fake’ drugs to school when leaf found in his bag turns out not to be drugs.

Madness.

Giffgaff are now all 4G too for no extra charge, which seemed to solve my patchy coverage issues as well.

Treat the interviewers with an enthusiastic attitude like they are old friends. They will be nervous too. Don’t make any assumptions about what they already know, they are obliged to score based on what you say solely in the interview. Your biggest strength is your application form, that got you the interview, repeat everything in it.

A lot of sanctimonious nonsense getting posted. The child not being able to cope without the mother for a few hours sounds like it must be unusual. Wonder how many posters have expereince bringing a child up alone that age.

She’s done this before, on Christmas Eve/Christmas day

Jeeze give her a break if that’s the best example you can come up with. Most grandparents provide a weekly sleep-over these days, assuming single status would even more important to get a break.

Are you having one installed into a conservatory?

No living room, but you have got me thinking about the garage, be interested to see photos of your final installation.

Have two quotes booked next week both are HETAS for Defra approved, wont be paying for them. Had one already, good sales pitch but that seemed to be about 1k more than I’ve been led to believe it should cost. Is getting three unreasonable?

<1500 and exercising at least an hour a day for me resulted in cravings I’d eventually cave in to and weight went up and down like yoyo. Too little and body goes in to starvation mode, at best you put weight back on real quick, at worst you start burning muscle.

Best results, easier and steady gains, came when I linked the sports app to the calorie counter app. Set to 1650 / day, ride to work and am up to 2k allowed etc. So if you want to pig out is OK as long as you earned it.

Daily targets work best for me, a day off once a week is not going to do any harm unless it suddenly becomes 3. Or you could switch to weekly and make up for calories / bike time with an extra long Sunday ride. For bad weather non bike days I used to go for a run or long walk to keep the momentum going.

Ordered mine in Jan, tried to fob me off with a different one in June.

Sounds like a test ride would be advisable.

Edit – thought you meant android.

S5 & S6 are good but a bit pricy. New Moto x Play is better price, massive battery, close to pure android and 1020p screen for £250.

Can feel some fund raising coming on.

71 deg head angle is that a bit too retro?

Riding a new route gets me out the door. Linking up where poss with a Sustrans makes navigation easier.

Wouldn’t be riding my (Whyte) hybrid off anything droppier than a kerb.

What’s wrong with a 29er? Although I suppose there are hybrids and hybrids, that Pinnacle seems about right steel fork too.

Had a clear out recently down to bare min, can’t beat your Mrs;

Fleece – Going to the shop when it’s chilly.
Barbour – Round town looks like rain
Thin breathable – Summer lunchtime walk
Parker – It’s snowing
Gortex – gone off the colour but nowt wrong with it.
Bike – Summer commute
Bike – Winter commute
Bike – Weekend cold
Bike – Weekend warm
Jogging – there’s a nip in the air

Still feel there is a Mammut or Marmot missing from my life.

Have we really not had this one yet;

http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/jul/21/jamaicans-sprinting-athletics-commonwealth-games

Scientists have looked into the genetics of Jamaican sprinters’ dominance. The first gene associated with powerful sprinting is the angiotensin-converting enzyme, or ACE, gene. If you have a particular variant of this gene (known as the “D allele”) you are likely to have a larger than average heart capable of pumping highly oxygenated blood to muscles quicker than the average human. That also gives your body a better response to training. In people of west African origin, the frequency of the variant is slightly higher than in those of European and Japanese origin. In Jamaica, it’s a little higher than in west Africa.

According to my daughters stepper we walked 14k one day on a recent city break. Sketchers trainers (sports direct) with memory foam insoles certainly took the edge off.

Got my eye on the moto X Play for £249 from John Lewis (price match with carphone warehouse).. anything else about £250 to consider?

There are other’s but not with a hd screen and battery that long lasting. Had mine a week now, how the hell I managed with the one I had previous which now looks minute I don’t know.

So how do we tell if they’re right?

Well, rather than scurry around the whole of the UK in order to check their weather divinations, I’ve chosen to take the easy route and use the BBC’s own web pages. The five day weather predictions also include today’s weather. I’m making the assumption that predicting today’s weather is dead simple, so the BBC couldn’t possibly get this wrong. So every day, a computer script reads the latest five day forecast, and compares today’s weather with what the BBC said it would be in their previous forecasts.

Over time, as this program collects more and more of the weather predictions, we’ll be able to see how often the weather forecasts were right.

What are the results?

The tables below show the accuracy of the BBC’s weather forecasts, listed by time. E.g. as I write this, the table below shows that the weather forecast for Cambridge one day ahead was 53% accurate. In other words, the BBC’s guess about tomorrow’s weather in Cambridge was right roughly half of the time.

Running is hard. Expect if you went out running 3 times a week things might change?
