Phone Worcester Bosch and get them to send their own engineer. £260 and guaranteed to fix your boiler. All parts and labour included.

Hillendat = Hilleberg

Blinkin autocorrect!!

Exped tents are good but expensive. Think near Hillendat prices.

Because they do 2 shifts. 6am – 2pm and 2pm – 10pm. If they start any later you can only do 1 shift and need more trucks.

Cold hands and/or feet means your torso is cold so your body is reducing blood flow to the extremities in an attempt to keep your core warm. Try increasing the insulation on your body.

What version of office have you lost. Older versions of office may not work with windows 10.

Friend of mine in the summer hired a car from the Swiss side to drive in France. Collected the car and was given an Italian registered car.

That’s because you don’t live in Scotland.

All our train stations have dual names in English and Gaelic even in parts of the country that never spoke Gaelic.

Gaelic was only spoken in certain parts of Scotland. That’s why you only find Gaelic taught in those parts of Scotland (the West and the Islands). Other parts of Scotland speak Scots (lowland areas) which as far as I can tell is somewhere between an English dialect and being its own language and isn’t taught in schools although it may be spoken.

Used to work for an American company which employed people called Dick Bollock and Sandy Beaver. There were some other good names but I’ve forgotten them.

Autoaid is no longer pay and claim. They just turn up and take you wherever you want to go if they can’t fix it.

McNetts Tenacious Tape. Available from Cotswold and other similar shops

They’re called snake slings. Can’t get them in climbing shops in the UK anymore as they’re not strong enough to meet the CE regs for climbing.

Palm Equipment sell a snake sling in the UK (available from kayaking shops) rated to 10kN but it’s 4m long. To meet the climbing CE regs they needed to be 24kN.

As you’re not using it for anything heavy can you not buy normal tape and use an overhand or tape knot to make a loop at each end?

Claims make very little difference to home insurance premiums. Surprised they’re sending a loss adjustor for such a small claim. When ours was damaged six years ago the insurers just said “get quotes and sort yourself if less than £500 and we’ll refund you- if it’s more than that phone us back.”

I’d always go through insurance but depends how quick they can do the repair.

Choose what she enjoys / finds interesting.
Don’t do it based on which teachers she does /doesn’t like.

Tip for physics – if they give you 3 numbers in the question multiply 2 together and divide by the other one (1 in 3 chance of being right). Can improve these odds with a little bit of knowledge / understanding.

Hope I’m not too late to join in.

Currently 196lbs (89kg) with a 37″ waist. Want to get back to 176lbs (80kg) with a 33″ waist.

Month 1 192 lbs
Month 3 184 lbs
Month 6 176 lbs

Go to plumbers merchants (possibly several) and take the cartridge with you. Also take the part of the tap which attaches to the top of the cartridge with you. If plumbers merchants can’t give you an identical cartridge you will have to buy a new tap.

Think you can do walks from Tebay / around Tebay.

Is there not a hidden keyhole on the passenger door? Maybe a piece of plastic pops off the door handle.

Or rather than trying to pop the bonnet with a long stick why don’t you open the passenger door with a long stick.

Are you accessing it from the Santander site or are you using some ancient abbey national bookmark?

It’s just you. Never had any trouble with Santander’s Internet banking.

Because you were gullible and fell for the marketing guff and spent more money than you needed on a load of features / functionality that you don’t use!

Like my idiot proof microwave; 1 dial for power, 1 dial for time and a big push button to open the door.

And how much would it cost to set up and administer a card vital scheme?

Do tell us more about why W10 is so bad.

I’m in the mood for popcorn.

Café Truva is good for breakfast. Lower half of the royal mile.

There are genes that are on / off indicators but you are already likely to have found out about those genes by already suffering their ill effects. Eg haemophilia, cystic fibrosis, muscular dystrophy. There aren’t many genes that are suddenly activated later in life to cause a disease (Huntingdon’s, breast cancer – Braca1/2?) which it’s going to be useful to you to find out about when doing a 23&me test in your 40’s.

There will be other genes which may interact with other genes and environmental factors to increase the chance of something but this is hideously complicated and something we’re only just beginning to have a miniscule understanding of.

As an analogy think of a computer program with 50000 lines of code which runs in duplicate with another almost identical program with 50000 lines of code. Each line of code may have some affect or none on the other 99999 lines of code. Each line of code can also be affected by any number of external factors and the affect can change depending on the timing of the external factor. How many different feedback loops could you find in this system?

This makes it incredibly difficult to then conclude that the presence of gene x will increase your chance of disease y by z%.

If we had to pay for our healthcare, we might, just might, start to take some personal responsibility for our health.

Don’t Americans pay for their healthcare and manage to be one of the unhealthiest countries in the world?

Hardly a convincing argument for introducing insurance into the UK health system

Loads of stolen bikes end up on “Lothian Bikes for sale or swap” Facebook group. Mates bike was nicked in Edinburgh and has been advertised multiple times since. Reported to the police every time but they do nothing as they’re not allowed to access Facebook apparently!!

Another recommendation for Scottish Mountain Gear. Just had a zip on a buffalo top repaired. Was expecting them to replace the zip but they repaired it instead.

Had a bad experience with LSR years ago so won’t go back.

Should think Craggy Island will be on next year. Pretty much sells out within a day or two of entries opening so I’d recommend following Durty Events on FB or signing up to their newsletter.

If you’re there for the entire season look into renting for the whole season. Works out relatively cheap and you can keep swapping until you find a board and size you like.

Sounds like you’re lodging therefore there are no rules. What the landlady says goes. Local authorities have no powers in this area.

If you don’t like your landlady’s rules then move out.

Contact Steve at South Queensferry Electrical.

Durty events run a few different ones around Scotland.

That the OP may get a letter from the police rather than CSW. If the OP’s misdemeanours are deemed significantly serious they may receive a social visit from a PC for a chat.

Basically The same as what happens if you report a “bad” driver for close passing you on your bike

The threat of law enforcement is no more viable than what you or I are living with. It’s a reminder that law enforcement can and does occur ie that the next person you see at the side of the road wearing a fluo jacket and waving a speed gun around may be a real police officer who can carry out law enforcement.

Scotroutes – one and two aren’t law enforcement. They’re public safety and crime reduction / prevention.

No idea what’s going on with Globalti and his section 59’s.

Scotroutes – where are there any stories of law enforcement?

No one has received a fine or been to court.

Find out who supplies the half time pies at your local football club. They might have something similar (Preston North End did in the late eighties)

You can also get them mail order from some Scottish bakeries.
