Do don't think I'm serious?

I have a bad habit of mislaying the key for my truck. I'm considering getting one of those nose ring thingies so I can hang the truck key from it.

"on the landscape" springeth to mind 🤣

Ah yes, we better not go into that 😁

We used the special ex-pats hotline 🤣🤣🤣

In our limited dealings with the UK Pensions people in Newcastle we have always found them to be very courteous and helpful 😀

Winter has returned - well it is still February. 27F this morning and snow expected tonight. It may be necessary for me to head for the hills this week.

Are you in the legit Cognac area?

Where, hopefully, 'urricanes 'ardly ever 'appen.

Save some for me. I've been looking for an excuse to visit la Belle France.

Yes, I was coming to a similar conclusion. Essentially the CO2 is forced to occupy a much smaller volume as it is no longer able to dissolve in the liquid.

On my recent jaunt from Pocatello I stopped at Lima in Montana for a late breakfast. Coffee and bacon in toast made to order in a little cafe/diner that was like stepping back sixty years in time. The service was superb too. This was the view from my stool at the bar.

You could be right. Judging by the total destruction of the bottle there must have been a serious explosion 😆

We had a little do on New Year's Day for the neighbors. There was some champagne but nobody wanted any so it stayed outside in a cooler on the deck and was forgotten about. Today I happened to look inside the cooler and discovered that a rather large bottle of the stuff was completely shattered in the cooler. It was extremely cold here for around a week around the middle of January and I think the champagne must have frozen solid, expanded and shattered the glass bottle. Champagne freezes at around -8C so it's not surprising that the glass let go because I think it was much colder than that. There were also two smaller bottles in the cooler but they remained intact although one of them does seem to have lost some of its fizz.

Ah yes, there is level according to gravity at that particular location then there is level as meets the eye.

You could use the excuse that you had to put drops in your mince pies.

Home again after a pleasant 550 mile drive from Pocatello to North Idaho. The reason it was pleasant was because the weather was beautiful. Lots of sunshine and the mountains have lot of snow. It was also quite relaxing because most of it was with the cruise control set at 82 mph and there was very little traffic on the road. The route was North on Interstate 15 then West on Interstate 90. The I-15 section crosses the Continental Divide West to East at 6,800 feet then recrosses East to West at 5,800 feet. Quite cold up there but the road was free of ice and snow. Truly spectacular on a clear day as it was today.

I get that a lot. It might have been saved. You'll find out next time you visit

At this altitude a helmet and a brandy to calm the nerves ain't all bad 😂

But you can go to work on an erg. Joules might not be too happy. 😄

It was a wind-up 🤣

What's wrong with the inch-ounce?

I've spent the last few weeks in Utah and Colorado doing this sort of stuff. This is at Snowmass ski area, Aspen. received_365433886443422.mp4 Weather at Buttermilk, Aspen yesterday was great. Seven inches of new snow overnight then not a cloud all day.

If this is up to date you should be able to replace the battery and there is a slide out key in the fob. https://www.stohlman-vw.com/service-tips-and-tricks/change-battery-in-vw-key/

The thingy for my Fiat has a battery that needs to be replaced every so often. It also has an actual key that slides out in case the battery is flat. Maybe your's does too?
