Entrance to a pothole?

Our 15 year old Hyundai i30 has just passed it's MOT without issue. It has 45k on the clock so is just about run in!

Well, all I can say is that it has never failed with electronic communication, maybe the log jam is in the early stages of manual reporting, reception?

I request my repeats via the app and they are usually authorised the same day. As I use an online pharmacy the prescription is automatically sent to them and I get a receipt email from them, updates when dispatched and the meds within a couple of days. I have requested on a Monday morning and had th...

MyGP app will tell you all the details and status of your prescriptions. Saves a lot of trailing about and wasted journeys.

Yes and supported an armed insurrection against one of the seats of government when he lost last time. Trump has already alienated just about every female and especially women of colour with his misogynistic comments, he should be in gaol! Mind you with the stupid laws in the U.S. that would not pre...

In a similar vein and while we are on the subject. "Vibram" rubber compound used extensively now on walking and rough terrain footwear was invented by an Italian bloke who became tired of going to the funerals of his climbing mates who used to fall of mountains regularly as the only footwe...

Looking at the fashion I would say that is an early female climber, I agree that the washing line quote is an insult but probably par for the course for females at the time. A pioneer for advancement of the sport/discipline.

Victory Park to meet the Barnoldswick Town Under 9's boys and girls footballers and coaches. Big cheque presentation time for the £1000.00 they raised for Bosom Friends by a sponsored walk up Pendle Hill. We gave them all badges and a certificate for their club house wall. Fantastic effort for Bosom...

Not aware what Aunt Helga uses. The site is on UK servers, not that it makes any difference.

I was thinking more of the IONOS infrastructure and backbone servers.

The biggest backfire I have heard of personally in the recent General Election came from the couple who's Air B&B we stayed in for a couple of days after the election. It was at Burton in Lonsdsale. When we arrived, the owner Shirley asked why we had chosen The Roost, we said it was just for a c...

Nope, cached bum code in the browser.

I fully expected the site to be down today after firing up my phone this morning.

Gloria's problem came down to cached settings in the browser, hanging on to broken code I reckon. She's happy now she has been successful.

Thanks to everyone who has donated recently.

Voted Kev.

Unfortunately not Gloria, when did you try to donate? If it was before lunchtime yesterday it was still bust! I fixed it yesterday afternoon and there have been three successful donations, last one a 03.03am this morning.

Just had a call on the landline from a person purporting to be from Microsoft. The lady said my computer has been compromised by a nasty virus potentially from a foreign power! Apparently they know this because they monitor all computers running a Microsoft OS! Apart from the fairy story, the give a...

Think outside the Bachs?

or Forethought?

Re writing factual history is always a bad idea, you get the holocaust deniers, flat earth nutters and we never went to the moon brigade with stuff like that. Newspapers have a lot to answer for also as if it's in the paper it must be right. Replace that with believe everything you see on social med...

For Information, the donation issue has been fixed and the button is fully functional again.

I heard this morning that President Biden is calling for the AR-15 rifle to be banned. It's the most popular semi-automatic assault rifle in the country and there are thousands of them already held by US citizens. It's a start but not a solution. What about the hundreds of other types of armament fr...

Reported today that the weapon used by Trumps assailant was a semi-automatic AR-15 Assault Rifle, accurate to 500m. Not stated whether it was equipped with a telescopic sight. He was 120m away so how did he miss, scope or not? I understand removing the threat but as the assailant and his position on...

Either the predecessors to plastic Rawlplugs, (other makes are available) or a bit more exotic, primers for explosive charges?

Like lots of other volunteer organisations the custodians are not getting any younger. We have one or two at the younger end (40's /50's) who are passionate about the place which gives us hope. Clarion Constitution does not allow the site to be sold.

A late Labour Party friend of ours built his own house in Colne and that was his choice of toilet.
