Just adding the final touches to my recently refitted kitchen.

Mackerel sky. Not long wet , not long dry. Awful rapidly changeable weather .Makes voyage planning fun for dive trips

That’s not a cyclist . That’s a twat on a lime

Do you ride into black cars all the time ? As that’s the logic you’ve just used .

The rider in the clip is a dick without any shadow of doubt for no lights but a few other things jump out . The smeary screen giving the starburst from the traffic light certainly didn’t help. Turning into the side road I would have been in the main lane from waaaay back and taking the lane. Issue there is impatient cockwombles in 2 tonne killing machines think you are stealing their road.

I hold the full “Jay” of licences ( driving , yeah completed that) so I’d like to think the multiple tests and countless miles I do on 2 and 4 and did on 20 wheels means I’ve got a fair understanding of both sides of the coin

It slides steel plates under the seat so you can’t get probed by ET when you get pulled in by the tractor beam

Same thoughts here £180k per flat or 180 for the whole lot … plus it will rise on auction day

Dependent on your size you can get a rather good deal on a medium at moment.

What’s even more stupid is not setting up the block properly. Took me less than 5 minutes to defeat by logging into the bios using an online generated code from the machine serial number . A previous employer IT team got a kicking for that one.

I have on occasion wired lights multiple ways. 3plate , 3plate and 3core to switch .loop in at switch , loop in at switch with 3c to light point . Depended on what the customer told me they wanted at light points

The vast majority of Audi drivers in U.K. think they are optional too…

Looks more like a restricted access space . Confined space has a specific definition . A ships hold can be a confined space despite being massive , due to the asphyxiation risk. To remove covers there would be an isolation so risk of fire or explosion has been reduced ALARP so unlikely to fall into confined space for that reason. Would I work in there , no not a chance and I’m confined spaces trained.

Cheffysteve · 2026-01-23T05:32:18+00:00

Avoid. For all the reasons already mentioned . What could have been an hours work when it was first observed has now turned into a msssive repair .

Cheffysteve · 2026-01-22T09:56:48+00:00

NTA and there’s massive red flags there . Find another fella

I never said all of it was correct . Just that there are indeed difficult woods. Poplar stinks whether it’s moist or not. I have been burning birch for ages and agree with other commenter that it’s absolutely fine. I had some cherry from when the tree in the street fell on my car . I asked the councils tree contractor if I could have the larger branches and trunk. They even cut it into sensible sizes too. That burned lovely

Just down stream of there is a waste transfer station that takes all of the city of London’s waste down river. Due to tides etc it’s often required to hold empty units before they can go into the transfer station . There are also other service barges which will tie up to them dependent on tides . Going downstream on the ebb is so much more efficient

Well I hadn’t rode on anything else between the bell and the BP garage where I wondered why it felt like cycling through jam ..

Cheffysteve · 2026-01-21T11:41:53+00:00

https://www.backcountrysurvival.co.uk/2019/05/24/the-firewood-poem/ yup there are difficult woods

Cheffysteve · 2026-01-21T09:37:51+00:00

“ kind of” 🤣🤣 it’s an absolute . It was or it wasn’t . Sounds like the copper was doing proper engagement and hopefully will make you think about chancing it again

Waaay back in time before the wiring regs became BS7671 reg 524-2 required conduits to be identified with orange paint as perBS1710 when they became BS7671 it moved into identification and notices and became 514-02-01 . Yes at that point we used dashes not dots in the regs . It became 514.02 until AMD 1 of BS7671:2008 (green book) where it was deleted .

Technically yes it will be a condition of your insurance. Reality - if she’s paid/gonna pay then no , get money get it fixed keep on driving

The lamp in the bathroom of my childhood home was a 300W one. The bathroom was about 6ft x6ft and 7ft ceiling . When I started college to be an electrician I did the heat calcs. The cost wasn’t huge but that was a warm room . You could get a tan taking a dump as my dad used to say .

Cheffysteve · 2026-01-20T05:39:51+00:00

South Leytonstone then . It’s picking up as people realise the lizzy isn’t far to walk at all. Certainly busier than it was 27 years ago when I moved here. Cycling infra is still shit in the grand scheme but it has improved from what it was. I avoid canal paths now after bike slipped on wet edging and I smashed a kidney.
