@Dave7... The photography link in your signature takes me to a website builder advert rather than your site!



Question to you all: How many of you can see signature links like Dave's on CycleChat? I can't see them on my phone but can on my laptop. I was thinking of knocking up a puzzle game site once I have one or two games ready, but I wonder how many CycleChatters would even see a signature link pointing to it.

I can see it on my Desktop, 22 inch screen, my Tablet, 10" but not on my phone.

I've been for a bimble this morning, 28 miles, my Eathorpe loop, it was a decent cycling morning, bright, sunny, a tad breezy and chilly. the path by the allotments is still closed so I had to use the Leamington road and cross the A45 to get into Bagington , there's still roadworks by the airport, but it was nice to get out into quiet lanes, worked my way through Ethorpe to Princethorpe where I turned onto the Fosseway, crossed the A45 again and on through Woolston, Binley Woods and into Coventry, the work on the flyover to take the A46 over the Binley Road is coming on, I remember when it was all countryside round there, turned right onto Hipswell Highway and up Sewall Highway home, it was a good ride, I'm still slow, 28 miles in 2 1/4 hours, but it was nice to get out and I enjoyed the ride.

As long as you enjoyed it Cycling for me at the moment has taken a back seat,due to gardening .Fitting new outside lights and the big one for me.Taking out an integrated fridge freezer and replacing it in the space with a free standing one.Hardest part was changing the doors from opening right to left.

Appliances are supposed to be covered by Domestic and General First tech said it was the thermostat that was not registering causing the it to freeze up in the fridge compartment No it wasn’t Next techy said it was transponder that registers the temp had failed He ordered the part should be back to fit it in four days He would need to drill a ten mill hole in the fridge wall to access the part Didn’t turn up on the due day Part lost in post Week later another tech arrived fitted part .Left.Hour later fridge compartment freezing up again
Irate call to Domestic and General telling them we’re to shove there policy and take a leaf out of th garage I use to make sure the repairs etc they have completed work

Rant over Ordered a new fridge freezer from AO appliances They took the packaging off on the lorry.Knock on the door advising that the appliance had a small dent at the bottom of the casing.They rang AO they would deliver again next day and company would waive the charge which we had paid for next day delivery.In future I know where I will buy any white goods from

Oops forgot Mrs p wants a new coat rack putting up in the porch and the two tubed Box shrubs either side of the front door want putting into new pots
Looks like it will be Saturday before I get out for a bimble
I quiet enjoy a good rant Only when needed of course

Have a slice of toast ??
Or don't you have any bread

Talking about premonitions, I’ve just had a slice of toast on return from my windy walk. Managed not to get blown into the river. 🌪️

Just checked. I can see it on the ipad but not the iPhone.

This will no doubt cause bulk buying as happened when every one did the same with toilet rolls.That was no where as serious as this You couldn’t spread toilet rolls on toast .
No doubt knowing you lot someone will come up with an amusing example

Not visible on smaller screens to save space.

I realise that I asked the wrong question!

I know that signatures are hidden on phones (in portrait mode - hardly anybody uses them in landscape for web browsing, but if you try it, the signatures magically reappear!).

What I should have asked is - 'How many of you use CycleChat exclusively on phones?'

I view about 85% of the time on my laptop and 5% on my tablet (signatures visible), and 10% on my phone (signatures hidden).

By the same token, not many people smear Marmite on their backsides, although knowing Marmite lovers...
