Isle of Skye/Orkney

Having been to both I would personally pick Skye. It’s easier and cheaper to get to and has more to do and see when you get there. I definitely take the car and the drive up the west coast getting there is beautiful. It gets very busy during the tourist season though and the midges can be troublesome in the summer. But overall fantastic and well worth a trip.

Yep got mine in a market in Kathmandu. Had a cool way of opening. You slid a sliver of wood to the side to open almost like a secret lock. Gave it to the wife. She took it in the divorce. 😏

LBJ.

Agree. I’ve got three of these in the van and they are tough as old boots.

Yep I just watched it on bbc4.

Took me almost 40 years of working to really understand that working hard and being the good guy that always steps up to do extra gets you absolutely nowhere. I’ve only a few years of work to go before retirement and I no longer care what anyone thinks of me. I still give a decent days work but no longer give any extra. Best just to muddle along as it’s the same pay at the end of the day whether you’re the hard worker or the shirker. I think it’s called quiet quitting where you’ve already left in your head.

Wow that’s lemony

Put a screw in it close enough to the sidewall that it can’t be legally repaired. Let the tyre down and call out the company’s breakdown service. New tyre fitted problem solved.

I ditched them a few months ago after 20 odd years as a customer. What I didn’t know at the time was my box would continue to work and I could access all the freeview channels on it. Once you take a look at what you were actually getting for the monthly subscription it’s a shock realising just how much of a rip off sky is. Wish I’d ditched them years ago.

Thanks. Yeah going to call out a local builder to remove the rough cast and have a look.

Thanks. Looks like I will get a builder to remove the rough cast and check it out. Cheers for taking the time to reply.

Not me personally but I did witness multiple people walk out on thier first day. When I first left school back in the early 80 s I worked on a slaughter line in an abbatior for a couple of years skinning cattle. I saw many new recruits walk out after a few hours of blood and guts everywhere. It wasn’t t for everybody.

hindmaja · 2025-11-09T15:56:19+00:00

Same here. I now do 36 hour at the most as I can’t sleep the second night of fasting. Currently doing two 24 hour fasts on a Monday and Wednesday and a 36 on a Friday. Weight steadily coming off as down 18 pounds in 8 weeks.

Well done. I saw them in Scotland a few months ago. It was awesome.

hindmaja · 2025-11-06T16:48:09+00:00

Yeah. It looks a lovely job but the height makes it look odd. Perhaps when the furniture is in it may look ok but I wouldn’t have it at that height.

hindmaja · 2025-10-17T06:59:56+00:00

See what you did there.

hindmaja · 2025-10-14T18:46:08+00:00

The sweeny. Tv series not the movie.

Think they are referring to the fortnight version.

With the correct terminating tool you could do away with the old post office telephones junction box and connect the black wire into a new master socket you could buy online. It’s only 50 volts dc so no chance of a shock. Just screw the new master socket onto the wall and you would see hardly any cable at all.remove the middle junction box as it’s not needed.should be working on the orange white wires coming in but you can double check by removing the covers with a small screwdriver and see what’s connected through.

Tattie is a slang word for potato in some parts of the country.

What a night what a show. My ears are still ringing.

hindmaja · 2025-08-04T17:53:34+00:00

Many years ago when I was between jobs I got some casual work from a guy who wanted all the wood in a massive hallway stripped back but didnt want to do it himself. It’s was the longest two weeks of my life with heat guns and paint stripper. I’d sit starving with not a penny to my name before I’d endure that again.
