  1. Past hour
  2. Wordle 1,619 4/6 ⬜🟨⬜⬜🟨 ⬜🟨🟨⬜⬜ ⬜🟨🟩🟨⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  3. Thanks guys Ive used both metal and plastic and had issues with both! bootlace ferrules i'll give that a go as its going to get me pulled over one of these days for them not working! Plenty of slack for turning but cant say the boys are using the correct part to connect/ pull from but surely its common sense?! Cheers
  4. Today
  5. Totally agree. I have a photo of a hole dug in a pavement near me which then had a set of three way temporary lights set up and the only obstruction was a small pile of earth in the road - between parked cars. Ludicrous and caused massive congestion for absolutely nothing. Actually thinking about it the A48 near me had this earlier this year....but that was a four way set of lights. And for three days it was just for the pavement - nothing at all in the road. Finally they dug up the road. But the chaos it caused for the first few days on a very bust bus route was awful. No brain was engaged in that traffic managament except covering their backs.
  6. You beat me to it, I was about to stick this up. A true ambassador for Reggae and Jamaica.
  7. I do not see the headlight activated traffic lights or camera Activated ones around any more
  8. Jimmy Cliff, Jamaican reggae singer, actor and cultural icon, dies aged 81 | Jimmy Cliff | The Guardian WWW.THEGUARDIAN.COM Star of The Harder They Come had hits including You Can Get It If You Really Want and I Can See Clearly Now Oh bugger.
  9. Oh yes - you're onto a winner there. I'm not sure if I've dreamt this or not 😁 but I have a vision in my mind of turning needless temporary lights away from the road one night... πŸ€”
  10. Bartlett Tree Experts are looking for a climber to join their team near Macclesfield, Cheshire. email: [email protected] Phone 01565 632445 www.bartlett.com
  11. Now I have turned something on, but there was no red warning! G.O.M.S. While we are on about Road Closed signs what about sets of roadwork traffic lights and cones and barriers that are not protecting a hole in the road, that could easily be shifted to the side after work , holding traffic up all through the night needlessly. Or similar in the daytime when nobody is working except for one man reading the paper in his van with the engine running. Talk about pollution as it is happening all over the country
  12. Alongside self service checkouts at the top end of the annoyance and frustration scale for me are app based car parks. I believe I may have mentioned both of these before ........... PROGRESS?!
  13. A couple of months back I mad the huge mistake of attempting to use a self checkout at Tescos. It took me 10 minutes and two staff members helping me to pay for two packs of sandwiches and a packet of crisps. 10 seconds - or less - for a human to run them over a scanner and display the price for me to tap my card...
  14. I have 'zombie' hands - it is a thing (though I suspect might be a combination of cold hands and oil if I have been playing in the garden with the toys) - taps (sorry, faucets...) with automatic sensors, hand driers, stupid help yourself tills at the supermarkets, all in the hope that someone will invent something better than what we had up to 10 or 15 years ago. Weirdly the chip n pin machine - the important one to take my money, doesn't have touch screen... and works 100% of the time
  15. Hi, we work 7am-4pm. Rate depends on experience, work quality etc. Please call the office on 01438 860368. Thanks.
  16. Baths with spring loaded plugs in the middle so when you move you let the water out.WTF
  17. This thread is made for me! I have wondered in the past about starting a thread about terrible design, but this is even better. Following on from the taps mentioned earlier, what about automatic taps that simply do not work. I first came across this in 1997 (so etched on my mind was the trauma of not being able to work a tap) and one would think they would work well now. But no. I know a set of three newly installed at a local sports club near me where you have to dodge between them all hoping that you will get enough little dribbles out of each to finally wash your hands.
  18. Excellent point. And then if you go past the sign (as they are so often obsolete) and then people shake their heads at you when you are forced to turn round as it is actually closed!
  19. We are looking for an experienced climber to lead a team at Bill Kear. Must have full tickets + lead a team before. We are located at: Bill Kear Beambrook Field Station Partridge Lane Newdigate RH55EE Please get in touch with [email protected] (01293 862666).
  20. If my car is on the drive I will quickly move it for you. If I'm not in please tip closer to the back of the driveway.
  21. Grumpy Old Man moans... where to start? How about the appalling use (misuse) of Road Closed signs? You cannot trust them either way and if they're legitimate you can't tell what road they're referring to. My starter for 10...

    Town centre location, plenty of room to tip
  23. Nice.. Random question, I've been asked if i could assist someone assembling logosol like this. ( i dont even know the part no aprt from its trailer job) How big a job is it? just been described as in "two big crates". I've built a frontier from crates and i know hes got machine on site. that's literally all i know.
  24. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c5y0y56x6veo A really nice story that was in the news and will give families hope. Now they need to work on earlier diagnosis of Hunters.
  25. The Russian ships come and go regularly and we go up to the Kola inlet regularly to poke them with a stick and spy on their capabilities, nothing new really.
  26. Three here. Wordle 1,619 3/6* 🟩⬜⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  27. On and on then! Or should it be on and off. The problem is I do not know which way to turn it off! On the tap in our new hotel room there is a red blob and a blue blob The problem is that when you turn the lever in the direction of the blue blob, the blue blob disappears and you are left with a very prominent red blob facing you. They need a fixed line to show which blob is active. It is not rocket science!
