    Trains

    they will leave the crossing shut, so the trains are not disrupted at all
  2. in the industry nuclear is considered low carbon emission, but in reality it is not if you count the emissions in building / commissioning and decommissioning. of course the environmental aspect of the waste disposal is also ignored as that is just radioactive waste, not carbon. nuclear - even including the initial / final carbon is relatively low carbon compared to the fossil fuel powered generation. Hydro electricity is fairly low carbon even including the building / demolition, and an option regularly forgotten in this country as we dont have may hydo electricity generators (scotland has a few)
  3. I had an uncle who was a yorkshire miner, married my aunt and moved to the southern coalfields (kent)- I never understood a word he said.
  4. just seen on facebook that the bridge wont be opening at all this coming weekend, while they source some new 90 year old parts.
  5. I wondered how yorkshiremen trained ferrets to get into small holes.
  6. the bridge was mentioned in Arthur Ransomes Coot Club, when the twins were passing along the new cut on the thames Barge - Welcome of Rochester
  7. is this where we complain about boats bumping?

    Drunks

    perhaps we should change the statements from 'drunk' to 'annoyingly intoxicated'

    in my opinion, that would mean you had been placed in a glass or bottle and were in the process of being imbibed. - a bit like Jonah was by the whale
  10. that will be fun when you open the hatch and climb down, what will the draft be then,
  11. well the laptop is alive, I have abandoned windows 10 and installed a linux operating system, now to see if it will run my 3d printer software on a windows emulation.

    I am sorry MM as a certified forum idiot, you are now overqualified for the post.
  13. They usually fly over our offices as they circle ready to head for the mall, just off the M25 at junction 29. on the computer front, I have given up trying to recover the old hard drive so the machine will become a linux laptop, it will just depend if I can run my 3d printer software on it (which is windows software)
  14. which direction are you heading out of the new cut or down the new cut
  15. today will likely be spent on computer repair, one of my laptops had been running slow, I decided to reboot it, and that took 2 hours - hmm problem. rebooted again and now it tells me its scanning the c drive and repairing 5 hours later its at 9%. left through the day while at work, and get home to find the auto repair failed. testing this morning shows the c drive partition has dissapeared, so a new 500 gb ssd hard drive has been procured, currently I am running a diagnostic on the old hard drive, once that has finished then its partition recovery to get to the data, then it just needs to be transferred to the new hard drive. If I cannot recover the partition, then it may need to be rebuilt from the recovery partition, but then I will lose any data on the machine.
  16. Question, would you be required to pay if you moored up just to lower your screens or a mast?
  17. At least its there and able to be used now to pop to the supermarket (or whatever)
  18. some of mine here and some in the original meet thread (in the events section.)
  19. well apparently you can.
