Hi Cragman, would you accept an offer of £35 for the moleskins and khaki chinos? Regards, Bob

I suffered from extremely poor service with about 2/3 mbps downloads speed on our home phone line for years before binning BT altogether due to the shocking service I bought a Huawei B525 4g router and an Poynting XPol - A0002 external directional antenna as i know exactly where the mobile phone mast are. I now can watch Netflix and even bought a smart tv. I live out in the sticks and Openreach were aware that the copper wires serving my property were about 30 years old but they wouldnt condemn them and everytime they touched the main cable, neighbouring properties would lose their service. I have used various suppliers but i have signed up with EE, more expensive but always get around 25 - 30 mbps.

I'm afraid the police will not accept your gun. They will refer you to a RFD to store them until your certificate gets issued.

A few years ago, I left home to drive to my work early one Saturday bout 6 am as I was early shift. At my road end I saw a small brown package on the road and I slowed down and opened my door and picked it up. I got to work, booked on and checked the address on the package and as I knew where the address was,drove out with the intention of delivering it. The address was an Industrial Unit which did not appear to be used. I looked in the package and discovered it was a brand new very expensive ladies Rolex watch. Seems it had a couple of links removed to fit the new lady owner and was being returned. I was a cop working in that area and I can only assume the package had fallen from a delivery vehicle. I decided to check direct enquiries and called the same distinct name on the address label and asked if a Mr So and So at that number had any connection to the address of the Industrial unit on the label. The lady told me it was her husbands unit. I got the home address over the phone and delivered the box to the home address. About an hour later I got a call from the husband shouting,******* and blinding and blaming me for ruining his marriage as I had exposed his affair to his wife! And I thought I was doing a good turn.

From your response and description of events, I have my doubts that you were a police officer. You have stated they could have simply blocked him and turned him around. They had "simply blocked him" by forming a line. The reaction of the cop was to deliver a "fend off". Standard tactic to all officers. Piper fell due to being pushed As to violently attacking him and throwing him to the ground. If you were a cop, I sincerely hope that you did not use the same "interpretation of events" when submitting you Police Reports. Auld yin, I also read that as what Walker570 is saying.

Walker570, if the same incident I have watched, you are way off the mark. The piper walked directly into a line of cops who incidentally had herras fencing behind them. He was going nowhere and never got arrested. He was part of a group of "anti maskers" who had the audacity to try and hijack Remembrance Day for their own agenda. There are interviews with the pillock on Twitter where he readily admits it was all set up. I also wore the same uniform as yourself and served in the Military before that.

I had a look at this for my 17 yr old daughter who is learning to drive with a school and I was thinking of her being able to learn in my car should we return to lockdown here. I thought it rather expensive at the Marmalade insurance is in conjunction with your ( or car owners) own insurance. When she went online to get a quote, it went solely on her age and postcode. Never even asked any details of the car

Apparently thats where the phrase "the ****ty end of the stick" came from.

There is ads for alcohol. Guiness and cider ones must work as i remember them.

Sportsbob, To clarify, I am NOT having a dig at you or your social life or friends. I am sipmly highlighting that you have stated that you know people who take tramadol and drive or ride. I have assumed that part but as you stated that it would show up on a police roadside drugs test, its a reasonable assumption to make that they are road users. Rather than take the hump, perhaps take onboard that driving or riding a vehicle whilst impaired through drugs, prescribed or not is illegal and not "innocent" as you claimed.

You are assuming a lot here Bob. If the op is accurate, regardless of whether the bikes were together or even racing , the driver who took them out was overtaking on a bend. His fault. I wonder what circles you socialise in where a number of them take Tramadol. Whether you are prescribed it or not, if you are impaired and drive, you have committed an offence. You are wrong in your statement. Any evidence of poor judgement or wrong doing whilst driving then you will lose your licence. You proclaim to be a motorcycle rider but are making assumptions here based on witnessing riders being bellends in the past? 2 people have lost their lives and a 17 year old in custody. I am a road user and have witnessed atrocious driving by a number of teenage roadusers but will resist playing devils advocate as I know nothing of this case

Hi there. If the jacket is still available, ill take it please. Please message me as to your preferred method of payment if it is. Regards, Bob

I have 2 cats who often accompany myself and the dogs on our nightly walk. I use the same torch every night. One of the cats , the Bengal has orange eyes reflection and the other, a big black moggy has whitey blue like the hid headlight bulbs seen in some cars.

As far as reliability goes, my mobile supplier which is 3 has proved very reliable. I am about 6 months into my contract and there has only been one time, recently when the entire UK network went down for about 12 hours throughout the night. I can only compare it to BT, who I was with for years who were shockingly unreliable, max of 2 mbps download and if I had to use the phone or someone phoned me, it was thee dreaded flashing orange light for god knows how long before it turned blue and came back on. More and more mobile suppliers are providing an affordable alternative to using BT who, for rural customers are woeful in my experience. 3 for example are doing £22 per month for unlimited. For the first time in years I can stream movies and the kids can do online homework without any issues.

Hi, I purchased the Poynting XPOL-2 directional as I knew where in the distance behind a hill, where the 3 cell tower was. It does not need to be looking exactly where the tower is. It has something like a 60 degree field of reception. I researched it and the directional antenna was more suited to my rural location as in a built up area they are not as effective due to signals being bounced about with buildings around you. The websites do recommend the 5m max of cable but Poynting actually sell an extension cable which is another 5m . They are expensive and available much cheaper on the auction site but you need to ensure it is good quality cable to minimise loss. Mines certainly works well using a 5m extension. I increased my download speed by "tilting " the antenna off the square when mounting it. The bracket that comes with it allows for numerous mounting positions. I sat upon my roof and using a speed checker on my mobile, I tried umpteen positions to get the best signal. The antenna actually faces the direction of the cell tower and you can rotate it about a lot before losing the signal. I mounted mine on a pole on a low part of my house but there are trees and hills between house and cell tower which is about 5 miles away. The hub upgrade was the B525. It is much better than the B311 which came with the deal. The B311 has only one antenna connection on the rear. The B525 has 2. I got mine second hand and have taken away from the house and used it with the internal antenna where there was a 3 signal. Well pleased with it. Its a lot of money to lay out but Im glad i bit the bullet as I binned BT after years of appalling service from Openreach and paying for a service that was a max of 2mbps and really inconsistent.

Hi, I also have 3 home broadband. I am in a rural area with a poor reception. I upgraded the router to a Huawei B525 and bought a Poynting directional antenna at just over £100. Money well spent as the kids can do homework which is online and I get to watch Netflix and the likes. The antenna needs to point in the direction of where the cell tower is which living out in the sticks was easily done. The router that came as part of the package was not very good due to reception problems.The hub upgrade gives a much better wifi throughout the house and has an excellent app for managing things. The antenna comes with twin cable fitted with the connections which screw into the rear of the router.

Currently looking for one for a friend. I have sent you a message. Bob

Hi, with regards to hoping for a quick response from the FEO, there are several reasons as to why he was unable to give you any hints. There are very strict guidelines governing the access to systems which contain sensitive or confidential data. The fact that you had submitted an application form for a SGC would enable those who job it is, to access those systems. Hence the requirement for you to submit the application form. For what its worth, I know of several occasions when applicants have been "advised" to withdraw their application as it would not be granted. The fees are returned and there is not an official record of having an application refused. The "withdrawal" would be of benefit to those who have some issue which would be resolved after the passage of time and not have a refusal on record.

Definitely found in the upper stretches of the Clyde . Not sure about the numbers though.

You are correct Charlie T. I should have made it clearer in my post. I was referring to the word "lose" that the op had used.
