  1. Musto br2 waterproof breeks. Bought new last year and only worn a few times. Waist 32 but runs a tiny bit small. Small tear on the inside of the left leg, hasn’t gone through the lining so easily sewable. Don’t fit me anymore after lockdown 🐷. £60 posted.
  2. It uses Google maps. I’m not sure what would be better? If you press the icon in the bottom right it switches to a satellite view.
  3. I went for Hunter balmoral neoprene lined last year, ****. They cracked within 6 months. Aigle for me next.

    Irish passport

    Interesting, I’ve only ever had an Irish passport. I have never found any benefit to it so far. Quite often it’s been a bit of a pain as I’ve been questioned and my passport scrutinised under a microscope while travelling. Guessing it’s because I don’t have the accent to go with the passport.
  5. I know, I think the whole lot was sent due to the Polish chaps struggling to explain what was happening. The helicopter didn’t land and flew off when I told the operator we had got her out.
  6. Well a resurrection of a thread but I used this app in an actual scenario yesterday. While walking the dog, two Polish chaps shouted me over. A woman that I have spoke to a few time’s had fallen from her mobility scooter and into the canal. They had hold of an arm each but they couldn’t pull her out, the three of us tried but with the sidings and her being on the bigger side it was a real struggle. They had already dialled 999 but with their limited English the operator didn’t really know what was going on or where they were. I spoke to the operator to explain the situation and the operator asked, do you know of an app called what 3 words? Loaded it up and gave her my location. In the mean time we had managed to pull her out on the 4th attempt. The emergency services did finally arrive all in all they sent 4 fire engines, 2 ambulances, an ambulance responder, 3 police cars and........a helicopter!
  7. Always fancied one but never thought of anything I would actually want. My old man has some he did him self with a pin and ink when he was a kid: A barcode of 3 lines that get progressively better (that was his practice), 3 dots on his hand and a little cross.

    Tent

    Looking for a backpacking tent to do a bit of “wild” camping. 2 man would be ideal. Don’t want to spend a fortune.
  11. See them fairly often around where I am in North Lincolnshire.
  12. I always thought a rule of thumb was 3 days for raw meat 4 days for cooked.
  13. I’m sure I saw a video of somebody wedging an orange in the steering wheel that fooled the car into thinking somebody had their hand on the wheel.
  14. During lockdown I had a test as I developed a fever for 1 day. At the time our daughter was born 9 weeks early and the hospital wouldn’t let either of us see her until I had a test done, however the hospital wouldn’t give me a test as I wasn’t a patient. So I said I was a key worker while I was on furlough and got a test. What else would I have done? I actually got 2 tests as the first came back as inconclusive.
  15. This was when I lived with my parents. We are back down to a washing line, it is however a snazzy retractable one, fancy.
  16. I grew one of these that ended up like a bush. Always kept well watered and used water from the condenser clothes dryer.
  17. An ex girlfriend gave me a Tramadol once for a headache. I thought it was a paracetamol, definitely got rid of the headache.
  18. I think he would take about 13k. He was recently offered 12k and turned it down.
  19. My local shop is a no mask no entry policy.
  20. Surely it’s a case of causing death by careless driving? Not dangerous but careless? Carries a max 5 year sentence.
  21. I’m always wary of “farm shops” I used to work at a place that would sell wholesale fruit and veg. All the “farm shops” within maybe a 10 mile radius came to us for their stock, the majority of which came from abroad. There was only one in the area that was supplied directly from any farm and that was only the carrots and spuds.
  22. Bet it’s like Christmas as a kid again. Only 2 more sleeps.
