  1. It is a lame effort in that respect, just straight lining it. They could've made an effort to spiral the lights around at least, especially as they had a mewp. I did it for a neighbour a few years ago. I was just climbing, no mewp, but still managed to wrap the lights around. It looked much better. A right ball ache mind; trying to get out to the the tips to untangle long snaggy light strings from the velcro.

  5. Certainly a lot quicker I expect. Another thing is the fact that it's not "professionals", just normal blokes you're talking to means you're all on a similar level. Much easier for them to relate to what you're saying, and vice versa. A mate of mine at work went to his local group and said it really helped him to get out of a hole.
  6. Drinking rain won't sooth the itch. You seem to have a stock control issue.
  7. I was going to revive a home brew thread, but this will do since we're here. This is the first stage of some Hawthorne wine that I'm experimenting with.
  8. It'll probably be fine I reckon. Cider is pretty easy in my experience. I made a few barrels in the past, and they all turned out well. Can be deceptively strong though. It lulls you into a false sense of security as it tastes just like apple juice sometimes, and then you've got no legs when you come to get up. So you'll probably get the better of your two options!
  9. This is very palatable for Β£6. Aldi.
  10. But does Alex chew Sailor's food?
  11. It doesn't sound like he's a dog to waste time on chewing his food!
  12. This lot are good I believe. Normal blokes talking to normal blokes. ANDYSMANCLUB - It's Okay To Talk ANDYSMANCLUB.CO.UK ANDYSMANCLUB are a men’s suicide prevention charity offering free to attend peer-to-peer support groups across the...
  13. Sorry to hear this Les. You're over the first hurdle, reaching out to others. Keep going. This the thread you were looking for? There's loads of other related threads on here, much easier to find with a Google search.
  14. Anything I think. The Fir bit is just part of the name of the place that the OP owns.

    Jokes???

    Andrew the drover from a huge cattle station in the Australian outback appeared before St. Peter at the Pearly Gates. "Have you ever done anything of particular merit?" St. Peter asked. "Well, I can think of one thing," the drover offered. "Once, on a trip to the back blocks of Broken Hill out in New South Wales, I came across a gang of bikers who were threatening a young sheila. I told them to leave her alone, but they wouldn't listen. So I approached the largest and most heavily tattooed biker and smacked him in the face, kicked his bike over, ripped out his nose ring, and threw it on the ground I yelled, "Now, back off!! Or I'll kick the s**t out of the lot of ya! St. Peter was impressed, "When did this happen?" "A couple of minutes ago."
  19. I do believe you've spread yourself too thin this evening: multiple pointless arguments, with multiple people, across multiple threads. That would explain the lack of any cohesive reasoning so far. Bet it gives you that good old buzz of battle though. I suspect it's futile, but go on then, I'll try one last attempt to squeeze a coherent point out of you. So, elaborate on waste of time. What to you constitutes a good use of time? Other than the aforementioned mock battles. Theoretical as opposed to facts and common sense. Elaboration required again. Which bits about cars belong in the left hand column, and which belong in the right hand column?
  20. There's plenty of multiculturalists here it's true, some good junglists too for that matter. But no, that was in the Nevada desert I think. Read the book. Have you been to Birmingham and had a bad experience or something? You've developed an odd preoccupation with the place recently. I don't have team mates, or indeed even a team. (I think all that guff is only in your own head tbqh.) I don't know Beth Rigby, but if I've dodged a question then it was inadvertently. Feel free to repeat it if you need to, or forever hold your peace.
  21. Missed that bit in amongst the slop. Steel wheels on steel rails. At least, until someone clever develops a strain of mycelium that's suitable for tyres. Brake pads - you dont need them with regenerative braking.
  22. I suggest you read the article. You'll get a much better informed analysis of the whole topic. A lazy AI question doesn't really bring a lot to the discussion. I didn't ask why cars are getting heavier anyway, it's easy enough to work out. Safety is one of the lesser factors actually, it's behind consumer preference, electrification and increased profits for the car makers. What's the point of EVs if they're barely better overall, due to their increasing size? The only silver lining is the regenerative braking, as Steven mentioned. The stats on car usage are crazy; most journeys are single occupancy of vehicles designed to carry 5 people. Passenger safety might well be improved, but it's at the cost of safety of other road users. Have a look at how much more dangerous SUVs are for cyclists and pedestrians. And that's just talking about impact consequences, not even considering air quality. <Larger cars/suv’s etc already are taxed more πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ HGV’s pay an astronomical amount to be on the road. If you can find an alternative to rubber tyres or a new brake pad material, let me know if you need any financial assistance to get it going, I reckon that could be a winner. πŸ€ͺ> So tax them more then. If the numbers of SUVs are increasing then they're obviously not taxed enough. HGVs - what do you think is inside most of the HGVs on our roads? I expect it's consumer crap that people don't need to waste their money on. Probably mostly from China, to add insult to injury. Get freight back onto the railways. The 100s of billions being wasted on HS2 would be far better spent on that. Don't you agree?
