The Wildlife (and Gardening for Wildlife) thread
Andrew_C replied to elsiegee40's topic in General Chat
Not sure as the two big ones are of a very similar size. We're thinking two mums... There were fisticuffs last night, but I didn't see who was having a strop. -

We're now up to at least four. Two large, one small, and at least one medium. The medium trotted off in one direction, and either went all around the garden and reapeared from the other side (not at all impossible) or we have two medium. -

It would seem that masks are doing good for the wearer as well as the people they meet. New England Journal of Medicine. -

You've probably all seen that it is illegal to gather in groups of more than six - unless you are murdering the local wildlife. -

You're not suggesting that Govt advice/requirements are confused and mixed are you? -

pubs. Six of you can go to the pub. Along with 20 other groups of 6. AND we can all gather together like idiots until Monday. To say the response has been shambolic is a total understatement. -
The difficulty is - you don't know how good they are unless things go wrong, and even then it is difficult to compare them. I was with ATL (strong in independent sector) now merged with NEU. They do a reduced rate for us pond-life.

Yeah, you weren't invited to "tender" for the work as you aren't a major party donor. -

Am I ready? Absolutely no idea. I'm off furlough on Tuesday, I'll find out then.

Recent issue with Virgin, they claimed a fix applied, better for a bit, then started dropping out again. Only briefly, but irritating. Next call - "OK, clearly a problem; you'll get a new router, should be with you tomorrow". Yup, back up to 100M and rock solid.

Car insurance marital status updating time frame?
Andrew_C replied to nicholab's topic in General Chat
they'll wash their hands of you, and you will get done for driving without insurance. Yeah, all in all NOT A GOOD IDEA. Remember - these weasels exist to make money for shareholders, NOT to protect you. -

One thought on the masks. If you choose to wear a cloth mask made at home, fine. If your employer requires you to wear one they have to provide it, and it must be appropriate PPE. -

Trouble is, I read that teachers had predicted 40% A & A*... That CAN'T be right either. -
Has anyone considered creating their own in house MIS?
Andrew_C replied to cabezon1989's topic in MIS Systems
I'm sure a school could come up with a workable system, and keep it going for a while. However, as with many school projects, it will unravel when the 'driving force' leaves, or gets promotion. -
Old School Antenna and Digital TV

Another standard 'gotcha' on aerials is a split in the insulation allowing the cavities to fill with water. Hang on - on a re-read of the OP... Your box of 'capacitors' might have been the power supply for an amplifier. The amp should be up near the aerial, power fed into the system indoors. Amp goes high in the system so you are amplifying a clean signal, rather than signal + induced noise. -
