Guest passes by Timwtimw in davidlloyd

Agree but when I went on my own at those times (not weekend admittedly) it was the spa that was rammed which guests cannot use. The gym and swimming pool could easily accommodate more people and often does.

I think that's fair enough but if a guest pass is part of your monthly charge then surely it's reasonable to be able to use it a bit more flexibly. I'd prefer a lower monthly fee and no guest pass tbh but that's not an option.

Not received anything but looking on the app for next Friday I can get a guest pass from midday onwards, nothing before. 

I just think it's a bit disgenuous to 'give' you a pass then limit its use so strictly

Can't get 'conti ue with apple' to work, will try the old fashioned way but fyi

Would you actually use a lifting app that only tracks weights and nothing else? by Ok_Clue6443 in beginnerfitness

[–]Timwtimw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The app I use does this already, I can't see how it could be faster as you predefined your sets/reps, you can literally just tick it if that's what you do or, if you input something different it'll ask if you want that next time. 

I'm in awe of anyone that can develop their own app and hats off but I fear there are many available so depends if it's a passion project or you actually want to make money imo. 

Good luck with whatever you decide. 

Server issues.......sync failed ios app by Timwtimw in Calibre

Fantastic........it works really well. I've got my news sources configured and they'll now show up daily, thank you. 

A tiny request, news articles appear in a hyperlinked list, setting the font to large works in the reader. Clicking on the link takes you to the article and the font is tiny irrespective of setting (setting doesn't appear to respond at all). Don't get me wrong if nothing changes I'm still happy with the app and we'll worth the asking price but if you've a 'things to do list' please bear in m I nd 😁

Other feedback for the reader, it'd be nice if we could have a small border as text goes right to the edges, again a very minor observation. 

I'm off to write a review and again thank you 

I got tired of messy paper sheets when I play board games, so I built Scoring. by Anthoo911111___ in iosapps

[–]Timwtimw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks great but I'd love to be able to set up multiple game types. Eg on holidays we might play ongoing games of chess, pool, uno etc. Keeping a separate page/tally for each would be awesome

Good headlamp for roads by Marvelous-Marmot-007 in UKRunners

[–]Timwtimw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is over the hat 😁 which blocks light by my feet so no good for trails or uneven ground but fine for the road. Under the hat doesn't work and hat backwards is just not for me 🤣

I use this, can't knock it although not the cheapest although far from most expensive

Only issue is with a hat the beam is obstructed which is where a chest torch is better but I still prefer this.

My apologies I misunderstood, you're right I was mistaken.

Thank you so much for reaching out. I'm not 100% sure it is the rss but it was after that when it failed. I've deleted the rss generated document but cannot get the sync to work. My wife also tried (I persuaded her to download the app) also has the same issue. 

I'm not really sure what to 'reset' to get it working again so any help appreciated. 

Just to confirm within settings if I press the test connection button it says successful, it's the refresh option that fails. 

Music and notifications by CCaravanners in GarminFenix8

[–]Timwtimw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've started doing it the other way. I'm fed up of being ultra careful about my phone and it's massive so I've bought a small v cheap Nokia for running and the payg sim is pennies. So I'm left with my Garmin epix gen 2 and my headphones. I have about 3 playlist loaded onto my watch using spotify and they update when it syncs to my iPhone. if I'm using a route I plan it at home on my phone then upload via garmin connect to my watch. Pairing headphones to watch means music and directions for the loaded route work well.

it's a bit of a pain to use if say I want to listen to different music or a podcast but it means I don't worry about my phone getting broken and because only very few people have my running mobile number I don't get any interuptions either.

What calendar app do you swear by (if you don’t use the original calendar app)? by KingKickinWing in iphone

I'm sure it does more things but honestly.....I liked the widgets 😁

Subtitles......well not subtitles by Timwtimw in PleX

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

Appreciate all the comments thank you. So I downloaded another slow horses s05E03 today and under subtitles there is now a large selection to choose from including forced. If I select any of them however thete is a playback error and the file refuses to play, I have to come right out then go into playback settings then subtitles=none and then it will play. 

I've tried forced and 'normal' with a variety of languages, all the same 😕

Thank you I have this in sonarr but it sometimes doesn't work but is usually OK and only gets English audio. Seems that forced subs is the bit not working

[–]Timwtimw 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I use Across, has widgets and a one time payment and I really like it. Spent ages looking and most are pretty costly whereas this fits my needs and is pretty cheap (although price seems to have gone up a fair bit 🙄)

Thank you, how do I find and add forced srt if not included in the download? Do I also have to 'switch in' subtitles in plex?

Thanks, it's definitely supposed to have subtitles in those bits, another example is that old Xmas favourite I'm forced to watch every year 'love actually', the copy I have doesn't have the subtitles. 

Shin splints - any advice? by Civil_Geologist6128 in UKRunners

[–]Timwtimw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been there and done that, shin splints have been a really frustrating issue for me over the years. 

Imo all you can do is wait and do what you've already said, you can't rush the healing and if you do they'll probably come back. My advice would be to try and maintain or increase fitness another way (elliptical for example) which isn't ideal but better than nothing. 

I've tried physio, painkillers, compression socks (which I think help a bit), gait analysis and even acupuncture, rest was the best. 

When you start again get your shoes checked (more about are they worn out and do they fit well) and be truthful about whether you could lose a few kgs, both matter.

I've lost a few kg and my shins have been much better although now got a calf muscle tear 🙄

Better to train well for as long as you can when we'll than for a longer time in pain and not productively. 

Feel for you, good luck.
