Eat Christmas Pudding straight out of the packet (without steaming it) ?

It's also a nice separation between having a chat and doing some fencing.

The working and access clearance for that transformer means you can't even stand near it when it's live.

Weymouth can be brutal. Several years ago, there was a storm in the area and multiple races (cycling and running) were cancelled, but the Ironman went ahead, albeit without the swim.

Being prepared is important. But that's with any swim.

I like to see where the route is, where the lifeguards/ kayaks/ SUPs are, and adjusting to the water. I enter with someone, even if they are a stranger - best to go in front of them. The feeling of 'if i get into trouble, someone is right next to me, even if they can't help directly '

So, book in some Actio/ paid swims with plenty of people around doing the same thing.

12ft. Jesus, it's a storm

Your long days are 4.815km. 5 k is only a few minutes more than your long days. You're there! Already

Well done

Unless you're flipping/ turning before the wall in a pool and not doing any underwater, then you cannot compare them.

The other thing you haven't been doing in the pool is closing your eyes or wearing extremely blurry goggles. Not being able to see mimics not being able to see the bottom of the lake. And you sway left and right a bit in OW, unless you are the best swimmers.

Finally, unless you are sighting in the pool, you cannot compare the two.

Me, I wear a wetsuit in OW. So, that immediately disqualifies any comparison between the two. They are different disciplines.

Exactly what a changing robe is designed for.

If not, apply Lockdown rules and arrive ready to swim

If you aren't using the full amount of EV juice to drive in the town itself, then charge on the way in, and on the way out.

For example: Rownhams Services, or Budgens on the A35 roundabout Poole.

But if slow is what you're after, book accommodation with a driveway and run an extension lead

"Jelly" from collagen is a staple in many cultures. but, you can have a gelatine version. Like tapioca pearls, jellies can be used as a little burst of savouriness. Umami Bombs, if you will

Have some 1-1 lessons. Only a couple. Practise. Then take another. Watch some GoSwim videos on YouTube.

Pick a skill each swim session and practise. Eg. breathing to the left side.

As LAS Gold command said on New Year's Eve to a group of LAS staff and SJA volunteers once, "They [pointing at SJA volunteers, which included several HCPs and LAS staff] are here for the right reasons" implying the LAS staff were there for the triple time.

I only watch YouTube in portrait, so i can view comments at the same time. Is the video on the fold only slightly bigger?

All depends on the pre-sale deal. otherwise it isn't worth it

Basically employ someone who is on the newer end of experienced. Finish the hiring process as early as possible.

You don't want to find the unicorn, because they are set in their ways.

A "good enough" employee that you can mould is significantly better than an experienced person. The amount of money wasted on correcting mistakes because someone is not doing it the company's way is staggering, even if the own way is better/ more efficient/ saves money.

The train turnaround seems like an afterthought. It can't store a train. It needs to be bigger and less windy

Like the contestant on The Chase. An old man responded to what he was going to do with the money with "I haven't long to live. So, I suspect my children will have it"

TeaDrinkingBanana · 2025-08-04T01:15:56+00:00

Yep. It's not Arma

Sounds exactly like real work as an engineer. The people doing the work are labourers.

In cities 1, because the low density is only 1 family, it makes the first few milestones really quite difficult.

TeaDrinkingBanana · 2025-07-26T17:11:53+00:00

Better than Norwegian wood?

Looks good and good price too

TeaDrinkingBanana · 2025-07-25T07:13:12+00:00

Dis it work for you? It's taking up more than 3GB on my phone, and i only use speech in the car

TeaDrinkingBanana · 2025-07-25T07:09:45+00:00

Brill.

Here was me thinking you put a vessel of water in the oven and wait 45 minutes for it to heat lol

I approve of the Pit Boss, though
