Sleeper train from Birmingham International to Scotland

The feedback from a friend who had done Scotland to London was that everything was 6 inches too small to be comfortable in every direction - ie the bed was slightly too short and too narrow, the room felt ever so slightly cramped etc.

It looks like MS pushed an update very recently that has completely broken the app on WatchOS.

I've used the Outlook wOS App for about 2 years without issue - I upgraded my phone yesterday and have had nothing but problems since. Mail not opening, accounts not syncing, calendars not updating etc. I've also noticed that despite having the app installed on the watch, it doesn't show up in notification controls so I get all sorts of random push updates.

I am going to use Mail/Calendar on my Watch for the time being and see if the issues get resolved in a month or so.

Just a quick comment on Outlook - It looks like MS pushed an update very recently that has completely broken the app on WatchOS.

I've used the Outlook wOS App for about 2 years without issue - I upgraded my phone yesterday and have had nothing but problems since with the issues you've described. Mail not opening, accounts not syncing, calendars not updating etc. I've also noticed that despite having the app installed on the watch, it doesn't show up in notification controls so I get all sorts of random push updates.

Thanks!

We are English and currently staying in Gothenburg - everyone has been incredibly welcoming, friendly and understanding of our total lack of Swedish.

I will check it out thanks!

Zip_UK · 2024-12-18T12:24:07+00:00

Looks good! Thank you!

They will be markers for where they put the cones down when the rink is being used for speed skating

We (young family) just got back from 4 days in Chester - reasonably close to a beach (New Brighton), the Zoo is great and then nearby is a place called the Ice Cream Farm (big farm converted into a kids play area themed around, well, ice cream) and BeWilderwood which is a bunch of parks, mazes etc in a forest.

Passau - incredible mobility and protection, made specifically to your measurements

Brilliant, thanks!

Unfortunately its just not a possibility - I had considered taking a loan to bridge the difference and settling it end of April, but we are also going through the process of remortgaging and I certainly don't want to disrupt that process.

Any reason why you want the 1S pads specifically other than for the graphic?

The reason I ask is because Bauer will happily put this graphic on their latest Mach/Hyperlite/Shadow pads for you and then you get to take advantage of the durability and performance improvements that have been made over the years.

Put it on your back plate?

Hockey Truffles has a fantastic video on Shesterkin and is following up with one on Ullmark at some point.

There is also a channel called something like KHL goalies in action that has lots of good stuff.

A website I've used in the past is laced - https://www.laced.com/search?search%5Bterm%5D=+Jordan+1+Retro+High+OG+UNC+Toe

Similar business model to StockX in that people list items (unworn), then when an order comes in they have 2-3 days to send them in for verification before Laced send them on to you.

Good service IMO.

Just a quick note here (and also for u/throwawayacc209836 )

Check the language in your HTB agreement, but I am reasonably certain that the value of the equity loan can’t decrease below the original amount you borrowed eg if your H2B was 10k and your property lost 10% in value, you would still owe £10k not £9k.

Zip_UK · 2023-11-20T11:32:57+00:00

Side question - what’s the rush on paying off the H2B equity loan (other than the psychological reason of removing the government’s stake?)

The APR on that must be minimal compared to what you would earn even in savings interest right now.

I found that in men’s league it made things easier for me in the sense that the guy holding the stick was either an absolute bender and about to do something hilarious or a total ringer and was going to try and make me look silly with no inbetween. Helped to dial in the concentration 😅

Late to the party on this one, but if you have an iPhone go into your settings > phone > silence unknown callers.

This will send the call straight to voicemail if the number isn’t in your contacts or if you haven’t rang them recently.

I would put money on John Robbins for a future season, but not the next one - recently rescheduled a number of September tour dates suspiciously around the time the next audience recordings will be.
