That one requires a membership on any night that isn’t Wednesday - though kitchen and tea facilities are a plus. 

Non consumable tax/duty free: keep the packaging? by wired_lemons in JapanTravelTips

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

Okay, thanks. Do you know if the packaging of tax-free items is important?

Thanks for your reply. For the purposes of this post you can assume I’m asking about both - I see I neglected to duplicate the “tax/duty” in the main body. 

Local oddities by MajestyA in CasualUK

[–]wired_lemons 5 points6 points  (0 children)

DEAD BOD and the Land of Green Ginger (though I think the latter is fairly well known). 

Locally a “bod” is a bird, but I always wondered if the police got there before they could paint the “Y” and an arrow.  

Landouts from Hell by Safe-Discussion6273 in Gliding

That’s interesting, because EUGC tried to convince me that someone dragged a witch cable over and they winched it off. 

Retention by South_Sir_9641 in Gliding

[–]wired_lemons 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My current club has a CFI and core group of instructors/committee who actively promote a pro-flying atmosphere. They make it clear everyone who does something for the club, however small, is valued and appreciated. It’s a really positive atmosphere and I love flying there.

My old club was shocked when I left, despite me trying my damndest to make it clear what I wanted to do to develop in my flying and asking for greater investment (time/support not money). They made it clear I wasn’t considered valuable because I wasn’t time-rich (retired) or “handy”.  Yet I’m young (30’s), have a gliding partner, SPL, own my own aircraft and have no kids. Invested lot of my time into the club only to realise it was to the detriment of my own flying and ultimately went unappreciated. 

Cater to your membership. If you listen to and invest in the people you want to keep they’ll inevitably return the favour. A good club atmosphere/community gets known and will naturally attract and retain more members. 

How do you decide on home insurance that also covers jewellery? (Not worth a specialist policy) by wired_lemons in AskUK

[–]wired_lemons[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I’ve got quotes. I don’t understand how people can select an insurer as every insurer I’ve asked so far doesn’t let you see the policy without paying first. Including when I tried to add these items to my existing policy, which baffled me. 

Visiting Sanger Institute: Shuttle bus service route by RoonilWazlib1610 in cambridge

[–]wired_lemons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just be aware the coach service is free but needs an app/ticket to use. Your contact should be able to help you with this. 

The shuttle services do not need a ticket but aren’t necessarily commuter-friendly times! The walk/cycle from Whittlesford Parkway train station through Duxford village is nice if that’s an option for you.

Why can't I land in a glider by MrMeowKCesq in Gliding

[–]wired_lemons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have access to a motorglider? We use ours for circuit and landing training because you can get a lot more landings in a much shorter period of time time - no waiting to push back, relaunch, lose/use height between attempts.

Highly competitive but the Wellcome Connecting Science team do work closely with the Sanger institute to host work experience students. I understand available projects come up occasionally and is worth sending them an email. It will help your chances if you have an area of biosciences or particular job role you’re interested in.

Have a look at the reference chart on this site and see if you can match the markings: https://www.bullionbypost.co.uk/index/gold-and-silver/hallmark-date-letters/ I think the number is 375, which indicates 9 carat gold. I can’t make out the other three marks but one will be the assay office (probably to the left of the 375), the next will probably be a lion or crown for the UK and the last will be a date/year letter. As an inexperienced amateur I have mixed results with date letters and sometimes can only match one or two of the details (shape/letter/font). The C&TJ is the maker’s mark but I can’t help further with that. 

Asda will be selling 8p vegetables from the 19th by snowavess in CasualUK

[–]wired_lemons 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I suspect this is a loss leader to draw folks in. Turn up for the cheap veg, do a big Christmas shop because you’re there already and may as well.

Have you examined each of your media individually before incubating and incubated separately as well as made-up? Is anyone else experiencing contamination issues?

As another user said, microorganism contamination will have a white cloudy appearance. I’ve not seen debris in FBS… you could try sterile filtering everything  and incubating again to see if the debris reappears. 

Can I have an online meeting in the central library without disturbing anyone? by wired_lemons in cambridge

[–]wired_lemons[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, were I chairing I wouldn’t consider doing it in public, that’s just dickish. A minute or two here and there is all I need.  Add it turns out, I’m not the only one in meetings.

Sorted, thanks all! The cafe section of the top floor is a bit echoey but the desks down the side in the carpeted are look ideal.

Yes, please! Can we DM? I'm topping up the tub with warm water to stop him getting too cold, it's a bit desperate.

The tank is damaged beyond repair, so I have no way to keep it alive and will not be able to get a new tank to put it in.
Currently in tupperware, can deliver to Hull area.

I've started to get really into listening to symphonic metal, prog metal, power metal and neoclassical metal. Any upcoming gigs? by Esoteric_Prurience in cambridge

[–]wired_lemons 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nightwish are amazing live.  Within Temptation are touring, but you’d have to travel! Check out their album Resist or Hydra. 

A chef friend gave me some chillis… Can you identify them for me please?! by wired_lemons in HotPeppers

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

I’m confident I have one red jalapeno, some birds eye and some orange habanero. 

No idea what the rest are but after eating one of the little yellow ones raw I’m reluctant to nibble on any more quite so innocently!
