I predict it will be the wettest Autumn and Winter for years as things balance themselves up. Up North, no drought we had a really wet spring, twice as much rain as last spring according to my weather station.

I won't watch either because of him. He's so sanctimonious!

They do the driving licence, Insurance & MOT over the radio now. I've never seen anyone get a producer for a driving licence or MOT or Insurance for years now. The ANPR system will flag straight away if there is no Insurance or MOT, then they will pull you over ask your name DOB and check the...

I treated myself to a Trek District+5 XL for my early retirement. It should have been 5k, but because it was last year's model with a 725wh battery instead of the newer 800wh, it was reduced by £1750. I have done 272 miles in 28 days so far. Had to go for +5 has it has a higher weight carrying...

We've had 2 lots of thunder & lightning, first lot started to rumble on at 7.30am for about an hour and then 2 hours of thunder storms a couple of hours ago, the ones shown on the weather, temp dropped from 31c to 17c during it, we also had a deluge of 26mm rain in 30 mins. Thunder has not...

Makes my shack look pathetic, only 2 rigs both nearly 30y.o.. But I dream over the new Icom, only around £7k. I have a few other rigs like 706 lying around, from when I used to go mobile & portable, and a few out of day handies.

It has been quite bad up here in Northumberland, when I went to do the shopping on Sat morn the main road through here had between half & 3/4 mile of traffic all going north towards Scotland. Went out with the dog at 5.30pm and the traffic was nose to tail coming back south. Tomorrow it will be...

There is cheering on both Mackam & Geordie fronts today, the Smoggies (Middlesborough) failed again at getting back into the PL. I am disappointed Sunderland have done so well this season, was hoping for an up and down year, shame. When they go promoted last year, one of the jokes at work was...

Someone from Sunderland understanding Geordie! Mackams have a completely different twang to the Geordies. The accents are as different as chalk and cheese, but I suppose to a non north-easterner they all sound the same.

Which graphics card are you using? I had problems with a monitor and NVidia card, after much trial and error I found out it was the G-Sync causing the problem. Turned G-Sync off abd it has worked fine ever since.

My older brother who I live with was diagnosed with stage 4/advanced Oesophagus cancer in January. Had been complaining about a pain around the back of his torso since late August, but at the time it used to come and go when he was eating. I finally persuaded him to see the GP about it in...

I have the Epson ET-2951, bought it a couple of weeks ago to replace a HP Cartridge printer that was 10 years old, I was on the Ink subscription system but they keep putting the prices up. So I bought the tank printer, it is only 3 colours but has a smaller footprint than the HP Printer/scanner...

I get mine from the spillage at work, we just get the -25 strength neat and dilute weaker in summer and stronger in winter and even stronger in very cold weather. The spillage is noticed as we go through 2 - 300 gals a year.

I like them. At my last exam I had a slight change in my varifocals, and a tiny difference in the reading strength, the optician said I didn't really need new glasses if I didn't want them. I got new varifocals as the last time I didn't bother with those the frame fell apart after 3 and a bit...

No doubt some Americans will think it's real! I know it isn't because it's legs are all the same length, if it was a real Haggis it would fall over when running round the mountains.
