    I keep hearing that wind turbines are the answer….generating cheap electricity for an untold number of households. 
    Is anyone a beneficiary of this ‘cheap’ electricity, or know of anyone who is?  

    I currently rent a lodge on a large farm.  It has been set up with two turbines and solar.  Given I’m located on the middle of an Ayrshire moor, wind is in plentiful supply, sun less so!

    the turbines supply all my electricity requirements and feed the excess into the grid.  It certainly seems to work well here.

  2. I saw an interview with him this morning and he said that nowhere in his book did he mention the names.  He stated that the names did however appear in other language versions of the book, but without his knowledge!

    Thanks mickey, I’m at a point in life where I just enjoy shooting with others more than on my own, I’ve a lot of land and a lot of opportunities for all types of shooting, so I thought I’d ask and see if anyone’s close by. 
     

    appreciate that mate 👍

     

    Yeah, absolutely.

    I mainly stalk these days when I get the chance.  If you ever fancy company on a stalk at the weekend then by all means give me a shout!

    Zoe Ball is the reason I started listening to radio 2…… must’ve been the very late 1990’s and my last years in my 20’s, she took over the breakfast show on radio 1 and I had to start looking for a new station to listen to in order to avoid her babble. She’s now the reason why I stopped listening to Radio 2, the minute she started on the R2 breakfast show.  

    Agreed, she is awful!

    I don't mind Vernon tbh, but appreciate he will not be everyone's cup of tea

    So when all other suppliers have been forced out of business due to not being able to compete, Temu starts putting up its prices and buyers have no option but to use them. 
    Sounds like a good business plan to me; we reap what we sow.  🙂

    The Stagecoach buses model, worked extremely well for them.  When they started in Perth they ran a timetable where their buses arrived a couple of minutes before the existing service and for a while they ran for no fare.  Took over the world!

    An airtag has a very limited range, you'd see the car. 

     

    How limited?  I  put mine on a mate's quad that we left overnight on our syndicate which is about 70 miles away and it was showing fine.

    I have to admit, having a stroke is one of my worst fears. You said good health, but were there any warning signs at all - high blood pressure, family history, etc?

     

    Stress and high blood pressure for me

    Have the rules changed then?  I was given a choice. A fine OR the class room.

    You have to pay to sit the course, think that is what he is referring to.  The cost is usually slightly cheaper than the fine but you don't get any points so worth doing.

    Update, it turns out i have AML,(Acute myeloid leukaemia) start treatment tomorrow, wish me luck.

    My mother sadly passed with this.  My elder brother was diagnosed with it a couple of years ago and medication has him on an even keel.

    Wishing you the very best.
