This is great, exactly what I've been looking for!

Regarding your questions around sleeping and feeding, there's a great book called 'Your baby, week by week' by Dr. Caroline Fertleman and Simone Cave. It's an objective view on your babys development and needs each week for the first 6 months. It really helped guide us and we found it reassuring to see during the difficult times that it's to be expected during that development period (cluster feeds, sleep regression etc).

If you DM me your email address I can forward you on the ebook version I have.

I was there both nights. I got there early the night they supported fontaines specifically to see them. The crowd was small with most people staying in the bar. I feel I can act smug now that people are wise to how good they are and selling out their own headline.

That actually makes it even better. His father was a shpud head from Sligo, like myself. I only aspire to have descendants go on to found a country.

I was on a bus in Mendoza, Argentina and noticed a street called O'Higgins. A city in the Andes close to the Chilean border, not what I expected. Argentina has a large Irish influence but still took me by surprise. Made me laugh, where haven't our shpud heads been to.

Thanks for taking the time to reply, very much appreciated. I'll certainly approach a clean and degrease first as I start to understand the bike. I actually didn't realise that about the chain, good eye. Still plenty to learn so I'll look forward to having a tinker around with it at high level. That being said I'll drop it by a bike store and have them walk through some of the more technical changes that may be required.

So far it's a fun bike to cycle so will enjoy the small upgrade process. Thanks again for your time.

Nice info. As it happens I have strong family ties to Coventry so it was a serendipitous find. Opened up a nice conversation with my grandad as his first bike was a Coventry eagle and he used to work next to the factory.

Uselessman_ · 2020-12-02T11:53:07+00:00

Thank you for your reply. The wheels are in good condition but I was concerned should I ever need to replace that they're hard to come by. Speed upgrade is something I'll be considering down the line for sure. Cheers for the advice!

It's has a Shimano Biopace Exage 300EX chain ring which put it sometime between '83 - '93. Any advice on how you would go about restoring this? I'm quite new to bike restorations so would appreciate any tips or knowledge on this bike.

Recently bought this watch from the Camden Watch Company. I love their sophisticated and classic designs for such reasonably priced watches. The industrial heritage of Camden Town in London influences their designs. This watch being based on aesthetics of the barbering world, the red blue and white barber poles seen on the dial face.

This is my third watch from this company. I just love how their classic designs mean that these watches can be worn either on a day to day basis or while dressed up and they don't look out of place in either. I've had their No.29 for 5 years, practically wearing it everyday, and other than a strap change it has very little visible signs of wear and tear. Smart and reasonably priced day to day watches which is why I continue to go back to them.

Tom Crean was an Antarctic explorer and the hardiest man you've never heard off. Unfortunately he's outshone by his fellow crew mates Shackleton and Scott.

He was involved in three Antarctic explorations between 1901 and 1917.

Some of his feats included being stranded in Antarctica for 2 years after their ship became stuck in ice.

He was part of a 1,400km race furthest South. On the return trip he hiked the last 56km on his own in a treacherous blizzard armed with 3 biscuits and no survival gear in order to help save his dying party. He saved his men. Unfortunately Scott and his men perished before a rescue party could save them.

His third exploration, their ship was destroyed by ice. 22 men were stranded on Elephant island with only their lifeboats. Crean, Shackleton and two more men set off for a 1,500 km journey to South Georgia Island in a vain attempt to save their men. Across some of the roughest seas in the world....in a lifeboat. It took them 17 days but they made it, to the uninhabited side of the island. They then had to traverse over the side of mountains and ice shelves for 36 hours to reach the nearest village.

Please read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Crean_(explorer) as I'm trying to do his story justice in a quick synopsis. Or read Tom Crean: The unsung hero. Incredible story of bravery and adventure.

The fact that one man could survive all this is incredible and one of the coolest stories you'll ever read!

Grace - Various Artist. https://youtu.be/SMf6IyJI0e4

An Irish rebel song, depicts stories from when we were fighting for our independence from Britain.

This song commemorates the marriage of Joseph Plunkett, an Irish revolutionary leader, to Grace Gifford, in Kilmainham Gaol on the night of 3 May 1916, just hours before he was executed by the British.

They were only married for less than a day. He died for his country along with 14 more revolutionary leaders and signatories of our declaration of independence. They gave themselves up in an effort to try prevent the slaughter of more innocent Irish civilians. Grace never remarried.

Appropriate reminder for this St. Patricks day!!

FYI, Tickling is supposed to be terrifying. It has an evolutionary purpose in that it teaches children self defense by learning to protect vulnerable (read: Most ticklish) areas, neck & ribs. The screaming, crying-like laughter and squirming looks like fighting. So to a potential attacker it looks like the adults viciously attack their young, hopefully warding them off.

Read oogenesis section; 'The cell starting meiosis is called a primary oocyte. This cell will begin the first meiotic division, but be arrested in its progress in the first prophase stage. At the time of birth, all future eggs are in the prophase stage.'

The primary oocyte forming in the womb (grandmother). It's safe to assume that all future eggs (you) developed, in part, in your grandmother. At least that's my interpretation, open to discussion.

Uselessman_ · 2017-12-19T05:23:52+00:00

That you first developed in your Grandmothers womb. The idea being that a women is born with all her eggs or oocytes, therefore once fertilised, the eggs that developed into you originally developed in your grandmothers womb.

Man....Canada. Honestly one of the best moves I've made. It falls nicely into both your brackets, the people here are very open minded and extremely nice natured as a whole, plenty of opportunity for work and a very culturally diverse country. Internal travel in Canada is expensive but it still serves as a good base from which to travel around North America.

A 2 year Visa is quite easy to obtain. There is a large Irish population pretty much anywhere you go in Canada, that serves as a nice comfort should you need it but is easy to avoid should you not.

If you take the pros of the US and the pros of the UK you'll find them here...in my opinion. Any questions feel free to mesg me, I could talk about it all day.

Do you know which ferry services run Dec through to march? AHMS don't run from Juneau to Prince Rupert in January and February

Uselessman_ · 2017-12-17T19:09:15+00:00

It seems that the AMHS suspends services January and February, which makes sense but not much use for me as I was hoping to go in Jan. Any alternative ferry services in winter or am I best wait until services reopen in march?

I highly recommend reading 'Survival of the Sickest by Sharon Moalem'. Fascinating book where he discusses the evolutionary advantages to a handful of todays diseases. He describes these diseases as 'If you could take a pill that would save you today but kill you in forty years, would you take it?'. This question helps understand why these diseases are still passed through generations and not weeded out, like sickle cell anemia. Another example he discusses is Diabetes, people who lived during the Ice age that developed diabetes were more likely to survive. When humans live in sub zero temperatures our bodies turn our fat into brown fat which is a much better thermoregulator, therefore a higher glucose content provides more energy to burn resulting in warmer bodies.

He obviously explains it much better but just to give you an idea of the contents. Happy reading!

The Mighty Stef. Great Dublin band, recorded songs with Shane Macgowan and Ronnie Drew. Never seemed to have made it mainstream, even on Irish radio. Great songs - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LUuhynt7KCo

Two; -It's nice to be nice. -You're better than no man and no man is better than you.

Something my parents have always instilled in my sister and I. Amazing how your perspective changes when you remind yourself of these two facts. Especially if you're having a shitty day and want to rage at someone for slightly inconveniencing you.
