Does make you wonder when connection once every 30 days is good enough for adobe, Microsoft and similar companies licensing…especially given windows 10 love of forcing restarts on you for upgrades.

There is a border force program regularly on uk tv, it covers various Canadian borders and a common theme is them removing firearms from US citizens who have accidentally ended up at the border after taking a wrong turn…

Although you may need more information on scale as that front door looks small to me (Normal scale is 1/12th, but there are other scales about),

Personally I would start here… https://www.dollshouse.com/dolls-house-building-supplies

Sadly the limitations act of 1980 effectively puts in a 6 year general limit and 10 year long stop on many product liability issues.

As for the strikes, if they do put Royal Mail off then they probably weren't serious about it anyway.  This will be a long term strategic decision if it happens and won't be influenced by the prospect of periodic squabbles with the rail unions.

There would be irony there…my workplace reformed procedures and reduced our use of (letter) post by circa 90% due to Royal Mail strikes…

Still agree on this, it is a considerable worse user experience than the app that was in use when I originally signed up for gold.

Probably worth a thread in its own right, perhaps without para 3.

 

I suspect you could find 50 such threads, each with a cute little padlock symbol :)

That would be a pity as it is a nice bit of variation from the more normal uk scene focused shows.

I have been seeing it as well, again arriving at 2019 posts in some but not all topics.

Having had two different retail customers over the years turn up to collect dustbin sized electric kilns (that must stay upright) in Honda Jazz’s, and a third wanting us to position it in a spare wheel well that was full of rainwater it’s 50/50 in my book… 

Wife just showed me this….

 Likewise I've seen some pretty horrific UK vehicle and drivers too over the years too.

My favourite to this day was the West Country accented driver who spent 30 minutes chewing the ears off our warehouse team about all these P#£& poor Eastern European drivers who don’t know what they are doing, can’t have had proper trainer etc etc etc etc, and then promptly tried to split his trailer (2 x 20’ containers on board) without putting the legs down….

Would of been interesting to see Hamilton getting out of a Grosjean style accident towards the end of the race.

We have had a couple of loads from Europe delayed in the past because the French police have pulled them over, not been convinced by their taco’s and simply taken the keys back to the station for 48 hours…

Two weeks to go 😃

Looking at the Instructions for some of their valves there is a reduction device to remove if pressure is below 1.5bar, wonder if the installer removed it in error?

They do a couple of models on their website that show a similar device.

Nonsense.  We've trained our four to come running when we rattle a tub of dreamies.

Mine trained me to rattle the tub…

Anyway getting back to oversized cars. What if....there was a maximum size for the car? (for instance, so that it fits those parking spaces).And if it was larger, it became an "abnormal load", with those restrictions that implies....?

I have often thought that anything over 2000kg should be classed as commercial for speed limits etc on environmental and safety grounds….

Is it me or channel 4 now showing very little in the way of post race driver interviews? All feeling distinctly dumbed down to me….

Very sorry to hear that, it’s an incredibly difficult time but far better than any further suffering.

One of the problems our suppliers in China have is the migration involved in working. Many manufacturing staff go to the work areas for 11 months and then home to see family for a month at Chinese New Year.
If they have enough money to survive at the family home for a year, then they don’t travel back after CNY and take a year out of workforce….and that’s before the issues of alternative work.

I would sleep with one eye open tonight!!!!!

Whilst we are on the subject, My wife’s grandparents were coal merchants working out of Upton and Blewbury on the Didcot to Southampton line.

They had a conveyor and hopper arrangement to load their lorry’s which is just visible in this 1962 Postcard behind the station. If anyone has any other images or details of how it work I would be interested, what has thrown me is apparently it’s conveyor started under the siding track.

This emphasizes the concept that jewellery is not just pieces of metal wrapped around a person's skin, but can be, to the individual wearing it, a strong representation of the expression as to their personnel identity.

 

Kevin Magnussen:-

 

'I don’t want to pay the €250,000 (£214,000) fine, I understand what they are they saying, but it is a wedding ring around your finger,  I’ll take a bit of extra burn on my finger to race in my wedding ring,  and if something was going to happen, something bad, I would want to wear my wedding ring, it kind of feels bad to take it off.'

 

Roman Grosjean:-

 

 'I’ve been wearing my wedding ring all of my career, where my ring was I was protected, so I was protected by my wife, saved by my kids. I understand some of it, but I wouldn’t like to race without my wedding ring. That is big for me.'

 

God forbid they ever get a job in a factory where they have to remove it to avoid it getting caught in tools/scratching the product/food hygiene requirements….or any of the other reasons mere mortals have to take them off in their working day…
