Thank you for all the sandwich suggestions, I haven’t posted for ages but the hive mind remains strong.

Looks like there’s a resolution via Chapeltown Curtain Twitcher Faceb00k to someone in Wincobank, Sheffield. Reply below.

Oh, the sandwich was bread and dripping with jelly and BCBs, on ciabatta! Heady mixture for Wincobank.

Mass circulation printing is beyond my experience. There are plenty of sheet fed presses, mini-web and digital all around the country. Less choice for the big boys but plenty for us little fish whatever our circulation.

Thank you for this. Small workplace here, we administer the cycle loan in house rather than vouchers. I will test this out when I next purchase.

Webbed toes would be something to see! Can you supply a picture of the cousin’s feet? Might be an adaptation for when it snows rather than using tennis rackets.
First hint of snow sees the bread and milk disappear from the Co-Op shelves, in my observations.

Used to live in Denby Dale just over the border, commuting into Sheffield on the train.
Train to Sheffield better as no changes, Leeds leg has to change at Huddersfield. I used to train to P then cycle from P to Sheff on the TPT 2/5 days. Train on return can be crowded.
Penistone has the cinema where they still have intervals! I think they get into trouble for this but the bar takings help sustain the place.
The Huntsman at Thurlstone is a good all rounder of a pub.

First time on this thread. I am sure this has already been said by much more learned and committed folk:
Our vote to leave the EU will offer plenty of opportunities but there will be some turbulence for the foreseeable future. I cannot believe choosing isolation will help prosperity. A good economy needs fluid immigration to support demand. The majority voted to draw up the fences, led by campaigners who are at heart libertarian capitalists. These will get in the cheap labour one way (wage cuts) or another (immigrant key workers, where they get to decide).

Labour failed to convince their defectors to UKIP of this message at the last election and the referendum came too soon for it to stick, 2017 would have been too soon as well.

I can’t leave this country, stuck with it but it has gone in a direction I am unhappy with, however:
We must dig in and get through to tea. And we must play on.

Right click on Avast in your program/apps list should get the Uninstall?

Z5 here, 6.0, no issues. Thank you for beta testing the upgrade to 6.0.1. I will wait until it is fixed. 😀

Apoquel on our ridgeback/whippet or staffie/whippet or whatever [but certainly nothing with pit, oh no].
She does the sniper shuffle, but backwards.
Off to order the pony oil…

Phew, I think I skim read everything and no one mentioned the futility of the blast furnace and primary steel production.
There may be a route out of this, leave the primary making to the developing nations, India will soon be churning out steel cheaper than the Chinese, and concentrate on recycling, the future should be in electric arc and secondary steel production according to some learned folk:
Institute of Materials, say.
Trouble is the blast furnace is a major symbol and politicians love gathering around symbols for some halo effect in a “no bad news” sense.

I didn’t have a bike until I was 29/30. Longest not riding since, a few weeks.

Allegedly

Not too bad on the way to work in Sheffield which probably means the wind was mostly behind.
Some hail stones pinged the helmet liner/ear cover and left a ringing sound for a few pedal strokes!

Larry Hench, glass scientist, inventor of bioglass, author of Boing Boing the Bionic Cat children’s books. Died in December last year. One of the nicest men on the planet.
Great to be Hench!

Not in the specified price range but about to launch retail:
Litelock

Now have “Gordon is a moron” ear worm…
Stay safe, choose your route wisely.
Punto drivers are my personal nemesis but there are many considerate drivers. The majority you don’t see because they wait and let you pass their left turn.

Magneto dog!
Do steel objects move when he puts on the mask?

The Grauniad had an “ask Jack” query on best laptops for Minecraft, had some pointers towards Intel chip numbers and their graphics capabilities:

Ms TPT has the 50 year medal for her T1. As said before DAFNE is to be grasped as soon as it is offered. Diabetes UK has some good stuff.

Volunteer for trials, it gets you some leading edge kit for less than your GP may be able to prescibe (post code dependent faffage).

I was sat next to a chap at our work Xmas do on Friday, in the New Year he was starting with a University of Leeds spin off company developing the glass sensor component for a blood glucose measuring device. All optical, no finger prick, no blood sample required! Possible launch in 2017.

Future looking good for making your life easier.

Not just Pratchett’s Discworld; Nation would be pitched right for her reading experience.

Mudchute for NRA backing

Bomb the chuffin’ bank that is laundering the oil money, the proceeds of sales of looting and where the bullets and RPGs come from.
Follow the money, follow it hard and wherever it comes from and expose the folk along the path it takes. Do not be afraid of losing supposed allies, expose their deeds to the whole world.

Ski socks with silk are good for the winter commute. Toasty warm.

My limited impression of New Street is that despite all the nice new bits it would still be awful if you were taking your bike from one platform to another to get to International. A rat bike at both ends if distances are feasible. Three hours on a train or two and a half hours on the motorway?

From an email this morning and as a small bump.
“Upset the idiots!

Further than that grand.
Anyone else found the label a bit itchy on the back of the neck? May be better after the first wash.

Marathon+
No time lost cycling to work and back, ~3000 miles/year.

I will buy one of yours sir!

Four year old at the end of this month. RSPCA recue, they called her a lurcher, a new branding of staffie-cross, maybe with 25% whippet. Great with children but chases squirrels and is a good puller and solid.

Had her for 2 1/2 years, still puppy-ish!

Useful. A general purpose computer with added music playing, photography and information access device.
Just got the Premier STW Android app!

On waterproofing of Sony phones: picked up my Z1 below some dishes, piled them in the washing up bowl to soak, watched some TV, went to look for phone and realised it was in the water for 90 minutes 😳
Worked fine. No issues four months later. Lovely and clean

There’s a fleet of hydrogen FCEVs Toyota Mirais delivered to Boris Mayor earlier this week. Infrastructure inching it’s way forward.
Got to store your excess solar somewhere, electrolysing water seems like an option.

Proviz as the dark encroaches at either end of the day.

UKmail delivery due this morning; the dog barked but no door bell, no card through the door, apparently signed for by Hussey, which is not how Ms TPT would sign it or be described if the driver met her.
No goods received, a day later than the next day service paid for…

Gloves: my experience with 2014 waterproof version, they went at the seams, just not enough for stitches to hold. Went back to my Gill ones, still going strong.
Jerseys of different Aldi vintages holding together well.
I got some lights, a jersey and helmet liner/skull caps.

So sorry to hear this, the first reviewer I read when getting to Through the Grinder. Jenn’s writing style is ace and it echoes in every issue.
Bought a mug but would be happy to buy a collected words when appropriate…

There’s a Kickstarter “solar paper” project.
May be a bit over your budget and not in your time frame. Weight weenie attractions…

Adobe Acrobat has OCR capability, it can be rubbish for highly technical typeset material but can be the base of a searchable text behind the image the reader would be looking at. There’s always those rn looking like m issues.

At work we have scanned our journal back catalogue from 1916 to 1990 into Acrobat. Issues around greyscale versus bitmap for text/photograph mixed pages, luckily we have limited colour to scan. Always scan to the best resolution, file size isn’t such a problem these days. Halftones/Moire/mesh/dpi can throw up problems for images.

But a 1:1 print reproduction of a mint original you wouldn’t need to bother about the text being OCR or not, it is if you want to revise the text in some way.
200 is a good print run, you should get some reasonable quotes from sheet fed press folk. Print on demand might be an option too if you don’t want to hold a lot of stock.

I heard from someone on the ground during tests that it had a hugely noisy radar profile. Hardly feasible for a recon. Another straw that added to the case against.

My brother was overtaken by a chap in a dress at a Beastway race before the Olympic Park development. Grayson is as competitive as hell!

Set up an anti-Europe party for all the dissidents in your own party. Build a bit of lowest common denominator support that is against immigration and appeals to workers marginalised by zero hours contracts, insecurity and lower living standards. Stir with a bit of Daily Mail and Daily Express paranoia. Sucks 12% of the vote for the cost of one seat, biggest growth in those seats with insecure workers.
No rigging, just good long term management of the population.
