Fact 1 25 times up my stairs is 67.5m of ascent. Snowdon is 1,085m of ascent. I need to walk up my stairs 25 times for 16 days to reach the height of Snowdon. It's day 3. The descent doesn't count. :D Fact 2 (I may have already known this) Cycling on a trainer in the kitchen is really (I...

bicycle kick stand on the bottom of the door? :D

nettle soup is a good if you add enough pepper and salt to hide the fact it's nettles. :) hawthorn leaf makes a good addition to your salad. :)

having had a ceramic, resin/ composite and stainless, I'm planning to go with composite for the kitchen sink so it looks posh and stainless for the utility which will never been seen by anyone and I can use it like an actually sink. guess which bit is my choice and which is the wifes?

hers an interesting aside. contrary to popular believe we don't irradiate our food supply before it reaches the shelf, so a fair few past it fruit and veg is perfectly acceptable as a seed source. it might not grow in your climate but no harm no foul. strawberries, tomatos, raspberries...

Bulcha 200 series?

Leave them be. Didnt have the fancy stuff to grow spuds in the olden days and it didnt seem to stop people. All the new improved super fertilisers and magic soil combinations will do is improve your crop, none of it will guarantee it. I still chuck the odd spud in the ground when ive let them...

Oh good book for you. The martian by ansy wier.

Chuck em int he ground. While your at it chuck the ones you have in you cupboard in too. You can cut them up as long as each piece has an eye in it. A seed spud is just an under grown normal spud, normally with a few more eyes to get a good chance of growth. Glad you're getting to grips with...

We ran a virtual pub quiz with my work colleagues this evening. Bring your own bottle. Just to give everyone a chance not to be thinking about work and have a general laugh. Just because some of us are more of a worry than others.

Nothing will be hung of except 300kg of ceramic tiles. 4x2 at 400 centres and set flats at 1200 as suggested although im equally happy to put fullsheet vertically and tie it across the middle.

With you that one Doctor Bob. Ive gone of the pace these last few years so im aiming for sub 25min 5k on a regular basis (currently around 26-27 on most) then try and pull it towards sub 20 again (managed it once or twice). No treadmill here though, i hate the things. They are for emergency...

Read old mans war first. Otherwise ghost brigade isnt going to make a whole lot of sense. Still a good book though. Red shirts is worth a read for a standalone book at some point too.

Starship blackbeard and the rest of the series are ok for a cheap read. Dennis e taylor (not the snooker player) and the bobverse for a bit of scifi humour Joshua james and the luckys marines series is good for a few cheap hours of reading. John walker rise of mankind was alright but fell down...

Simple answer. Dont buy a paperwhite. Buy a normal not light emitting one and use a bedside light.

I think you are quite possibly very likely rather correct. :D

not sure Chris but I think E-readers and E paper aren't counted as screens, they don't have pixels like a screen does. just the basic kindle, with no backlight is very much like reading on paper, at least to me. will have a play with the MIL's paperwhite over the weekend and let you know. if...

not ready yet chris, few more days. I don't have a paperwhite or back lit kindle so can't comment on it but can you turn the backlight off completely?

Are you doing this as a business or charitable organisation? if not, then you are doing it as a concerned neighbor and the ICO can go coco. Data protection does not apply between friends (I hope). from the title of the document itself "The Data Protection Act 2018 controls how your personal...

Think there are various levels Bob so no dowt you are right. Im to cheap to pay more than the basic but i do re read a lot of the books i get.
