Re: Chaos in Scotland.
With reference to the ludicrous Hate Crime and Public Order (Scotland) Act which appropriately came into force on April 1st there have been more that 3000 cases registered in the first week which are being investigated by 40 "specially trained" police officers. Here is an extract from a letter writt...

Re: Ryanair FR6066 tonight
Looking at Arrivals at TER for 3 April it seems there were a lot of cancellations and a diversion. FR6066 is now showing as shortly arriving back at Lisbon on FR24!! Just shows it needs using with caution. So it now appears after a couple of holds FR6066 diverted and never landed at TER. A blocked r...

Ryanair FR6066 tonight
Just looking at the No.1 tracked flight on FR24......a scheduled flight from Lisbon to Terceira which should take 2:35. It appears from FR24 that after a couple of holds near the destination he set course back towards Lisbon. TER METARS have been fine all evening. After quite a while the aircraft ap...

Re: Saw Safety
When I was at woodwork school the asbestos wall behind the table saw operator had a number of holes in it, each signed by the operator who had experienced the kickback. Some of those names went on to become quite acclaimed woodworkers. I've also seen a tooth come off a blade and go through the wall...

Re: Baltimore bridge collapse
Perhaps they need Sleipnir. Two revolving cranes can lift up to 20,000 tonnes in tandem. In my day I thought Hermod was big but this is huge. Edit, posted the Hermod photo in error - here's the Sleipnir, decommissioning the Brent Alpha in 2020. The jacket weighed 10,100 metric tons. Sleipnir (1).jpg...

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V
In our rural setting the roads are few and far between. In their wisdom Aberdeenshire Council Roads Department have notified two separate diversion routes to avoid two places near home where two separate roads are closed for maintenance this week. The only problem is that both diversions take you to...

Re: Octopus Agile electricity tariff UK

Re: Octopus Agile electricity tariff UK
The electricity board tree cutter guys seem to come round about every four years and have a look at where our line runs next to the adjacent small wood. I phoned them a couple of years ago as about 6 sycamores had grown up in our garden and were within falling distance and close to the line as well ...

Re: Octopus Agile electricity tariff UK
Just received tomorrow's prices for 24 hours for our UK Octopus Agile tariff. Here's a snapshot from my phone for 0600-1600. Many hours of 0p/kWh and two half hour periods where they pay us to use electricity. Looks like there will be a couple of washing loads done, plus the dishwasher run and a fiv...

Re: USS Nimitz
That is scary looking at the apprehension of the pilots in the crewroom and watching those night landings in that sea state. So much easier in similar conditions for us helicopter guys to stop and land rather than to land and stop like the fixed wing pilots.

The UK £0 annual car tax for electric cars becomes £158 in April 2025. My £0 annual car tax expires in July this year. Just retaxed the car online at £0 for another year. It now expires in March 2025 at which point I'll retax it for another year at £0 a few weeks before the expiry of £0 rate. Saved ...
