MM, I haven't even seen any posts on facebook from RT over the past few days either.

I have a car cam video of a van driver, who didnt even bother slowing down when he got to the roundabout I was already on, I missed the back of his van by just a few feet, because I was watching and aware he was coming onto the roundabout with some speed. If I had been distracted for any reason I might not have seen him and would have ploughed into the side of him.
my phone is on a bluetooth hands free, and I still dont answer it while I am driving, let alone text or touch it.
It only takes a fraction of a seconds innatention to be involved in an accident, and it might not even be your fault.

no toilets in ice cream vans either - trust me I know an ex ice cream man, he used to have to sit all day in one spot, apparently good bladder control is part of the job.

Alan, Ikea - I can never pass by the sin bin (where they store all the seconds and stuff) to see if there is anything in there that can be re-purposed (usually located just before the tills) excellent source of timber.

one other thought that occurs to me is that if a OB is wearing a life jacket they cant easily slip a life ring over their head and secure themselves to it, where a floating line if it has a lightweight snap hook on the end can be passed round the OB and clipped back onto the line. thus if the OB is rendered unconcious they wont just let go.

Tim, you need a good saw, leave the tupperware embedded to seal the hole and just trim it off flush with your hull.
Sandpaper - thats no way to treat good timber, you want a cabinet scraper, it removes a fine amount without raising the grain.
I'll have to try and get up there sometime and show you.

I am with Green Flag, once I got stuck when the alternator packed up, the local green flag man came out and couldnt fix it, he didnt really want to trailer me the 50 miles home, so took me to his yard, he had a car the same as mine there so he swapped the alternators over, jump started my car,and with battery charging I drove home, he didnt charge me for this and I just signed the form that he had taken me home, I reckon he made the cost of a new alternator from what Green flag paid him, and didnt waste his time on the trip, plus I didnt have to fork out for a new alternator or take time off work to fit it myself, win win all round and what I consider excellent service.

Further information - it will rise just a fraction north of West and rise to about 45 degrees up as it crosses to the south, it will visibly move across the sky and be quite bright.

Does anyone know if the Roaring Donkey was a real Broads pub, and where it was?

There is also a pass of the ISS on tomorrow night at about 5.20 ish for 4 minutes, that some people are using as an opportunity to watch Santa flying over for the kids (and again very low on the horizon at about 6.59 showing for about a minute).

yes all of those, and the paraffin man, and the coal man bringing the sacks round and shooting the coal into the coal bunker.

Yesterday was the trip to the farm shop, 4 stalks of sprouts £2, 3 cabbages (assorted) £1, and 5 cauliflowers £4.50, thats roast for today, and christmas dinner sorted (with maybe a cauli cheese between).
Sprouts, traditional, cut the cross and boil until slightly less than bullet hard.

That's just one of my problems, give me a box and I automatically think outside of it.

as a long term beardie (and not because I am Lazy either - but you really don't need to see my chin, and I prefer insulation). I cant see the attraction of baubles (Bah Humbug I hear the cry)
my beard first started at school, when in the 5th form I calmly pointed out the rule that sixth formers must shave, and grew my beard, it did disappear for 2 years in the 6th form (as per the school rules) and reappeared when I left school and has stayed ever since. It has varied from shortish to ZZ top, even long enough to put in two short plaits at one point - But baubles? (glitter is bad enough, one year my beard got infested with glitter at an enthusiastic party- it was still surfacing 9 months and repeated washings later).
