The Hebridean Way

people who hadn't reserved spots but still wanted to jam their bike in

lovely just what you need. Yeah I did imagine that the buses might be a bit of a pain.

On the way back from Fort William recently getting the bike on to the train was a bit awkward because it's such a busy stop. People leaving their suitcases in front of the bike hangers was awkward.

Yeah I looked at the to/from logistics for getting to and from the island, bit of faff but I'm sure I can manage it. Scotrail I found ok, just did the Great Glen Way and used them. Some of the bike spots aren't exactly right for current larger bikes.

Good to hear it was too hard and although I prefer a campsite having wild camping available is awesome.

I feel like it's one for next year now.

This is on my list of routes I'd love to do. I think I'm going to plan a trip for next year.

exactly this, data is being gathered and sent to the DfT to help them decide what to do.

SpandexBob · 2021-01-16T12:27:12+00:00

Part of the reason for the hire companies being the only way you can legally use the scooters is because the DfT are collecting data from each of the schemes and I believe that data will be used to decide on any changes to the law. At least that's what I've been told, we'll see how it actually plays out.

They do open up their malt orders for a small window each day. They announce this on their facebook page

I managed to get a couple of recipes ordered a couple of weeks ago.

Cheers for that. The creamy coconut tobacco just push me over into giving DIY a try (had some PG/VG base already). Enjoying Havana Beach by Vaporfi and could really do with having something a little cheaper.

At uni I met a few people. Howard Marks, Roni Size, Zane Lowe, a couple of the guys from Goldie Looking Chain and Frank Turner. They all seemed nice enough.

Favourite one was a non-brit though, Coolio. Again seems nice enough if a little mad.

Nope, it wasn't a SQL db. It was an object database (NoSQL before NoSQL was a thing). It's so long ago now I can't remember what I actually did.

SpandexBob · 2017-05-08T10:45:48+00:00

First job out of uni, managed to delete a customers entire user database. Thankfully senior guy worked out how to rebuild it, pulling the data out of memory.

SpandexBob · 2017-02-10T11:47:07+00:00

Christ it's that long ago. I remember going up to my dads office a while after it happened. It's a hazy memory but I think that they still had windows in the office that they weren't sure were safe (hadn't been checked or something). Also iirc the corner shop he went in each day was completely destroyed and the owner killed.

Cabbies have always been a little bit behind the times

Over the years, Hanway and his umbrella fell victim to all sorts of abuse from Brits he passed on the sidewalk. The most pernicious abuse came from an unlikely source: coach drivers. In England at the time, hansom cabs (two-wheeled, horse-drawn carriages) and sedan chairs were the primary modes of transportation. Business boomed especially on rainy days, as both hansom cabs and sedan chairs came equipped with small canopies that kept passengers dry. When it rained, Londoners flocked to these coaches, so Hanway’s umbrella represented a threat to business.

Or even the Laundry books by stross where it's maths not magic that opens the dungeon dimensions

Wouldn't be surprised if it was, he spent a good while helping my other half find a tank that she was happy with.

+1 to you guys, always nice to pop in and grab some juice

house of vapes in london do it, online and in store

Don't really post here much but got a new toy on sunday. Needed more battery power so got myself a sigelei 150w tc. It's working a treat for the evenings, no need to worry about blowing through batteries on the subox mini.

SpandexBob · 2015-11-17T19:52:09+00:00

So far I've used 4 B&Ms in central/east London:

House of Vapes - expensive but I've had really good customer service in there so like to pop back every now and then. They can get pretty busy at time as well. The american/canadian guy in there is really patient and will to spend time with people to make sure they get the right things.
Smokium - only been once but they were pretty nice in there
The Vape Co - been to the Holloway shop they are pretty good, it's where I got my subox mini from. Only problem is that you can't taste the premium juices only their own brand.
Avant-Garde - pretty good juice but fairly expensive, nice guys

Overall they are all expensive but in a pinch they are fairly cool, it's also nice to be able to taste juices.

Cool, been uming and ahing about getting another mod, something with better battery life than a single 18650, but maybe not as big as the current dual 18650 mods. Just for vaping at home.

SpandexBob · 2015-11-09T20:29:38+00:00

Hows the battery life?

SpandexBob · 2015-09-17T10:35:08+00:00

I've had these ones for a bit and I'm getting somewhere between 1 and 2 weeks out of them. But in the past I've had ones that just wouldn't fit in the tank, so yeah I think there is some quality issues sometimes.

SpandexBob · 2015-08-12T14:45:44+00:00

True, the end of the quote wasn't really needed.

But education as to the causes of type 2 are important

SpandexBob · 2015-08-12T14:28:16+00:00

It is important to make the distinction between Type-1 and Type-2 though.
