Most boring goes to the laughable named, 'Seriously Strong Cheddar'. The only serious bit, is that it has the least taste of any cheese on the market and that includes plain cottage cheese.

Did you just echo Ian Leach?

Woodland groups I sometimes work with, all have hi-viz green. I remember some years ago, doing a recce with some fellow. I knew there'd would be a 'National Trust' forestry team at the far side of the wood. So we donned hi-viz yellow and std. white lids. We were 100m away and on top of the hill above them. When this irate forester comes pounding uphill and screams in my face to vacate the wood. That we were preventing them felling a 70' birch. Because in his words, our hi-viz made us plain to see. But we weren't wearing orange lids. Apart from orange lids, they themselves weren't wearing any hi-viz. Had no signs up and hadn't cordoned off a work area. Horses for courses and whatever's on their own RAs. (Before some bright spark pipes up.) I'd done my own RA for that recce. And I knew that the forestry team had it on their RA, that we'd be in the wood in that day.

Driving over the moors a couple of hours ago, it was 1°C and sleeting.

Humbug! But I agree that kids can't keep still for more than 15mins. at a time. Knew I oughtn't have given my nephew a book on escapology. Presents come, are used/enjoyed, (hopefully). But family and friends, for me, they make the Yule a time of celebration, remembrance and a chance to look forward.

Shouldn't that be? MS 261 2.9kW Hus 550 2.8kW But it's not just the max. power. but how the engine works within that power, i.e. torque, throttle response, etc.

At the stroke of midnight, the wind blew and the rain did start. Still raining but the wind is now down to taking the rain sideways.

One of these: http://www.lowealpine.com/lightflite-28 in blue. Had my current day-sac nearly 15 years and though it's been a great sac, the longest zip, (entry into main compartment) has been failing over the past year. If you use a sac as much as I do, it takes a while to find the right replacement.

That poor snowman, he's been impaled on a carrot.

Is that a reference to steep chaser burgers?

And to your and yours too. May 2014 be good for you.

Here we go, it's hail again and going sideways.

Dryish and calm. However, yesterday it didn't so much bucket down, more it bathed it down and with the fell tops in low cloud, the forces/waterfalls were running fast. Excellent ww paddling, if only I had the time. Mind getting the boat on & off the car would be... problematic. The day before, we had one heck of a hailstone storm. For 40mins. all was movement and white and noise. Then the sun came out and a hour layer, it started bucketing down and stayed that way for the rest of the day. Yesterday morning my father lost the roof of a large tool shed. Lots now to sort, dry out, wipe clean and of course a roof to replace. He hasn't found the old roof yet; not that it would be much use now.

Great vid. Friend people, great views and worthwhile too.

I've seen we boats with a gash over a foot long and half inch wide repaired with Lego. Needed more than one brick for big repairs. Watch your fingers though, that plastic really sticks to flesh; best to hold brick with pliers while melting, directly onto repair area. You can choose any primary colour you like and some others too. If you wanted an expensive Lego repair. You could use one of the figures and then be able to say Darth Vader or Harry Potter repaired it.

I like them, not that I'd wear them. But I like them. The suit has style.
-
If it's metal - I don't know. If it's plastic - you could try a plastic boater's repair. Melt a Lego brick into the crack/ hole and sand off excess.

I know someone who used to work comms towers. They were/are expected to do more than one tower a day. So getting up fast is good, getting down fast is also good. Then it's a drive, maybe into the next county, then up the second. Pays good money if your get up & down in time. But you've got to be at the tower's base by 07:30 or before. If you don't get the second tower done in one day, it's easier to get to a local b+b or camp close by, so you can be up the tower at the crack of dawn - companies don't like powering down, so getting the job done in a given timescale is good.

Ok... how do you then get the bed, with you in it up and down the tree. Maybe plug-in, listen to some trance, then levitate up and down through the canopy.

Researchers have spent the last five years carefully monitoring the hormone levels of their resident female rhinos at Chester Zoo. Ms Katie Edwards, a PhD student from the University of Liverpool, said, “Tracking hormones gives us an insight into what is going on inside these animals. It can help tell us things like whether or not an animal is a seasonal breeder, whether it has reached puberty and whether it’s cycling on a regular basis..."

The Importance of Accuracy in Your Tax Returns. Or how to be truthful & amusing, HMRC has returned a Tax Return to a man in Evesham after he apparently answered one of the questions incorrectly. In response to the question; “Do you have anyone dependent on you?” the man wrote: “2.1 million illegal immigrants, 1.1 million crackheads, 4.4 million unemployable Jeremy Kyle scroungers, 900,000 criminals in over 85 prisons, plus 650 idiots in Parliament, and the whole of the European Commission”. HMRC stated the response he gave was unacceptable. The man’s response to HMRC was: “Who did I miss out?”

Trying to get a pair of boots from FR Jones, (Small feet thread) but not heard back from enquiry yet. I dare say they're a little busy at the mo'.

I presume the 15" bars that fit the 550, will fit the 545 without problems? By the way, what's the price on the std. and light-weight bars?

It might be flowering out of season. I've got rose bushes in flower and both daffodils & spring flowering tulips rising from the soil.
