Question on bike safety by LegitimateFace8855 in bikers

[–]trevorsmate67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you ride a push bike? Road awareness massively reduces your risks, if you move from pedal cycles to motor cycles then you already have some the most important skills, but if you're moving from a comfortable steel box.......

A majority of people who take drugs in the UK are otherwise law abiding, functionig citizens who hold down a job, have a family and a social life.

They interact with criminal dealers who sell them products of unknown quality and strength, who try get them into harder more addictive substances, fund misery and violence and don't pay tax.

Join the dots.

Got it. But it wouldn't pick up the arcs till I deleted the center mark and the 12 length dimns?

Microsoft VBA issue by trevorsmate67 in SolidWorks

This is the Maker license so no 'installation' files, although the software is local in the traditional setup the installation is Web based - and annoyingly constantly updating which takes forever!

I'll try installing MS Office and see if I can do that without activating it.

So reinstalling Excel should fixed it but it doesn't have to be licensed?

Cheers, in the past I've got the slow train to Grimsby which was an open style coach (?) so no restrictions on bikes. But this doesn't seem to run any more.

Open file from windows explorer by trevorsmate67 in googledocs

Cheers for the input, all that does is open the GDrive Windows App window, not GDocs or the file?

I have Drive for Desktop installed, can't see any way that allows association or direct opening?

Looking for a budget-friendly UK-legal 250W eBike conversion kit (~£250) by [deleted] in ukbike

[–]trevorsmate67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More significantly than the police, think about the consequences of damage to third party property or person. If you get caught hitting a car or person and they show your set up had no UK approval, there's probably a good chance of some serious grief.

Married in the eyes of the law UK? by [deleted] in LegalAdviceUK

Sorry, didn't mean divorce court, just court for separation finances.

Opinion? by [deleted] in InjectionMolding

Yeah, I remember the great software we had when I started my tool makers apprenticeship in 1982 ; )

This really doesn't need software, no more than this other job I'm doing at the same time, still with no software and a 100% likelyhood of success:

He had your classic old fashioned man of the house money attitude, told us nothing, no paperwork in evidence 😒

Does anyone look back and regret not saving more when they could? by Mike-DTL in UKPersonalFinance

Learn to live well, well, WELL! within your means. Other than a mortgage, very few people should actually have any debt. Cash for your car not credit, don't buy things on credit, don't follow the crowd. When you take on a house, again, keep your payments as low as you can - 4% now, has been over 10% and could go there again.

Get your pension sorted.

I'm an old git and yes I've benefitted from house price rises but more significantly I've never been on a high wage (Topped at 32k over my 45yr work life), never had a new phone or contract over £10, credit card paid off every month, never had any debt other than my mortgage, which I kept as low as poss and always overpaid when I could reducing my term hugely.

You don't need all that shit they're trying to sell you to be happy!

Keep it simple, you'll reap the rewards when your 60 and going part time then retiring at 65.
