  1. Be Alert, your country needs Lerts. I think they could have found a slightly less American sounding voice. Dame Edna would have been good fun.
  2. The project escalated, 20 years of telephone systems, internet connections, multiple printers, all originally hard wired, then wireless, phone and internet extenders. That took some untangling. Then going through dozens of box files for previous businessess and properties followed by checking all the current files. I managed to burn out the heavy duty shredder. I have finally finished the new study and updated all the tech connections. In between I decided I needed a new office chair to match the new look. Ebay produced a ratty and battered antique chesterfield chair I liked in Hertfordshire for £50. It was very cracked and scratched. It has taken some effort to refurbish it and bring it back to life. I have never tried leather restoration before, it is a very forgiving material. I did hesitate before getting the sandpaper out but it works really well. Filled, stained and polished then the wood refinished. I quite enjoyed doing the chair.
  3. They rotate, depends on the device as to how many are show at the same time.
  4. I have arranged for you to receive a carrier pigeon
  5. Two solutions, Cut some strips from the scrap and put around the edge of the lid to form a lip on the topside so it looks like it is there to stop the cushion sliding off, or Cut strips to go inside the box on the top edge to give extra support to the lid.
  6. The country used to rely on air raid sirens but with the spead of the population they no longer provide good coverage. It is surprising the number of young people who know what they mean. Given the spread of technology it is no suprise that the system is going digital and of course it needs to be tested. I would rather have a system in place than no effective national warning. Hopefully it is never needed but we do live in more uncertain times again.
  7. During my latest neurological exam, some of the tests involved balance, the results were shocking. My right side balance is not good. One test involved closing my eyes and marching on the spot 50 times, I ended up 10 feet away and 5 feet to the right. He confirmed that I shouldn't take up tightrope walking. I have some eye and head movement exercises that I have to do 3 times a day to try to put it right. Getting older is no fun but better than the alternative.
  8. Here's a question, why is it called ' faked' ?
  9. Has anyone tried to get anything actually done lately, So far in the last 3 weeks I have been let down by a marine workshop, an upholsterers, both had 8 weeks notice. A solicitor who has had since november to sort out 4 lease extensions and another solicitor who has taken 3 1/2 years to sort out a basic error they made in a transaction. Try getting someone to do work on a property, even with my contacts, you are looking at months, not weeks. Tradespeople have full order books and some materials are still difficult to source.
  10. When MiL was with us she was 96 and frail but didn't have a blue badge. Matron used to park in the parent and child bays as there was more access to get her out. She used it on the basis that they were parent and child.
  11. This is an ongoing inquest. Please avoid speculation and unhelpful comments. Lets all wait for the Coroner's verdict and remember that this is first and foremost a family's tragedy.
  12. Can you collect them from Wroxham by car and return to Stalham, assuming it is happening on takeover day ?
  13. FlyingFortress Posted 2 hours ago · Is this a Great Ouse forum or a Medway Forum 🤫
  14. Interesting that the BA have called in the police over some low tack stickers on public signs. When I had a false penalty notice stuck on a perspex side window, that took hours to remove and caused permanent damage, the most I got from BA was a half hearted sorry, we will speak to the ranger. It is a good job I am not as sensitive as their CEO. Karma is a wonderful thing and I have zero sympathy.
  15. The Upper Medway ( EA )was the same for moorings but a lot more expensive for tolls. They had a number of locks to maintain but also provided toilets and showers.
  16. Being a bit of an insomniac I took this at 3.30 this morning. It was -2 and ice had formed on the boat roof. It was taken on my phone so the quality isn't great but I liked the mist and moon.
  17. Another offensive comment, You must have missed my earlier post so I have reposted it for you. Please remember, Under the ToS, we do not allow personal insults against people. Any posts will be edited or deleted.
  18. We all need to remember that any member, no matter who they are or work for, are not obliged to post. It is also the weekend.

  20. The following has been posted on Alan's facebook page by his family. It is with great sadness that we announce the death of our beloved dad Alan Hood. He passed away suddenly on 9th March from a heart attack while on holiday in one of his favourite places, the Norfolk Broads. His funeral will be held on 17th April at Hutcliffe Wood Crematorium at 10.30am. Afterwards, we will be going to Frecheville Community Centre where you are welcome to join us. Thank you to everyone for your kind words, love and support at this very difficult time. Stuart, Mike, Joanne and Lucas x
  21. The church will be harder to find a space in than the moorings
  22. Okay, boats now have to pay to moor but fishermen can use it for free !!!
  23. We are more than happy for discussion to take place within the ToS, but would ask everyone to refrain from using the forum as a campaign base. The facebook group seem to be well organised and managed and are best suited to be the focus for campaigning.
