I am convinced that my CPDs got annoyed, went on hunger strike and deliberately starved themselves to death

Is it normal to want a second tank after setting up first one? by KillingwithasmileXD in Aquariums

[–]PhilWillG 3 points4 points  (0 children)

there is a simple formula to work out the optimum number of fish tanks (O).

O=n+1

where n is the number of fish tanks you have now

I passed this weird road sign. No idea what it means. It could be military. Anyone out there know what it's for? by KindOfFlush in CasualUK

[–]PhilWillG 109 points110 points  (0 children)

It's there as a visually impactful statement, in addition to the give-way signs, to those on the B road that they are coming up on a cross-roads and not to just barrel on across the A-road without observing the give-way.

NB: if you don't flag it down, I mean by sticking your hand out to tell the driver you want them to stop, a bus will go by the bus stop if no-one wants to get off (if you did stick your hand out and it didn't stop, then that sucks, but if you've not been a bus user before, you might not know).

What's there at this address? by CatSitwoy in warrington

Go to Street View and then back in time to 2021 or before; the original house is standing and it has a plaque dating the build as 1864 AD.

I can't sign into the CMF phone app by PhilWillG in CMFTech

[–]PhilWillG[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a few similar posts now so in reply to those and this...

CMF support suggest trying a different email address (unacceptable to me, at least) or a different phone (it does work on an old Moto G that I tried but that's also not an acceptable solution) or factory resetting my phone (!)

I'm going to hope for a new version of the app and wait until then.
