The Retirement Thread

[ebikeerwidnes]

So - having caught up with this thread _ have learned that
Mouse tastes like chicken
rabbit tastes like chicken
I think I saw that 2 mules for sister Sarah tastes like chicken - which is just plain confusing - and I seem to rememebr that Sister Sarah wasn;t a Sister but was a 'woman of ill repute' which means that either a mule or a 'woman of ill repute' tastes .......
errrr - I'll just leave that there


basically everything tastes like rabbit - or something

Also - to answer another question
I find the best tablet to be either






a) Paracetomol
or
b) Ibuprofen
for the most common things

hope this helps

Can't use either of those tablets to get on here.

It'll tastes different with a bottle of £3.99 red wine.

£3.99! What expensive tastes you have

Yup - it tastes like £3.99 red wine!

One for @ColinJ, can the OS maps be downloaded on to more than one device, or are you stuck with the device you first download it on to?

I have just had a tipple of Aviation Gin. Very nice it was.

One for @ColinJ, xa can the OS maps be downloaded on to more than one device, or are you stuck with the device you first download it on to?

I'm getting a bit confused...

I have just been talking about them in a different thread. Had I posted something here too?

Anyway... The licence allows me to put them on multiple devices but only use one at a time.

Memory-Map OS maps are licensed for a single user, non-commercial use on up to 5 devices (any combination of Windows PC, Mac, iPhone, iPad or Android).

See Memory Map support.

I use cycle.travel a lot to work on new bike routes. I used to just use its own mapping (based on OSM)...

... but have recently signed up as a supporter which gives access to OS maps as well for only £2/month. This is probably the cheapest way of getting use of OS maps for the whole country, as well as a warm glow for supporting cycle.travel.

That is Landranger scale (1:50,000). If you zoom in it switches to Explorer (1:25,000). Zooming out gives a map at 1:250,000.

Stay away from naked flames, and other possible ignition sources.

I know you've posted elsewhere, but rather than give any"misleading clues", I thought I'd ask here.

I just checked... Going direct to OS for the map subscription is only £23.99 a year. That is REALLY cheap. I paid over £300 for my digital maps a few years ago and they gradually go out of date as new roads are built and towns and villages expand.

Not many new roads been/being built round these parts.

Houses aplenty though.

I don't see too many main roads being built (though I have encountered some) but lots of new estates dotted about with back roads.

Here's one at Clitheroe (satellite picture 2022, OS map 2016):

Looks like they had to keep the footpath...

I think that development will rapidly spread out across the fields to the SW past Barrow until Clitheroe and Whalley eventually join up!

I just fettled one of my 2 cheap pairs of reading glasses. I have a large head so the glasses were uncomfortably tight above my ears. I immersed each, er... [looks up the name...]... deja vu! No, that's not the name... I did this a while back - 'skull temples'.

I found my sunglasses straight away. It seems that I had inadvertently trodden on them because both lenses had popped out of the frame, and one of the, er... (after a quick Google, I found the name I was searching for is) skull temples was bent. I managed to put the lenses back in and straightened the temple so it fitted over my ear again and then whizzed back down to Guy.

I heated the plastic temples in boiling water, bent them outwards slightly, and held them like that while I cooled them. They are much more comfortable now but I think I will bend them a little more tomorrow. Once I have perfected the first pair, I will do the same to the second pair.

Good morning all, a bright, sunny and very cold start to the day, I've been out to the bins and it was very fresh , no bimble for me today, plumber coming at dinnertime and I've got a kitchen cupboard to empty and move.

Morning all

Good day had yesterday.
Mates came around at 11.30 and then we walked down to the village and had a superb Sunday lunch at a new venue -Hang Loose. Will go there again!
Chilled out in the afternoon and put the world to rights in the evening.
Perfect!
