I was christened that but changed back as soon as I legally could

Not cheery here in Brixham. It’s Pirate Festival weekend and the town is full of annoying pi55ed cosplayers. If family weren’t down I’d be at WRT in a flash.

Our seagulls were shagging this afternoon and the nest on the wall will soon be populated

We seem pretty open here about sharing health problems, which can be a good thing. Unlike poor John I had a somewhat cheerier Friday after a hospital visit.... Had my yearly MOT in February. This time, for no specific reason and on the spur of the moment, I asked them to add a prostate antigen test...

Cambridge Audio Topaz CD player, latest eBay bargain.

Friends are off to NY for a week this Summer and had a lot of 'are you a terrorist' type questions on the visa application. Stories are abounding of loads of hassle at customs but it's always been like that to a degree. Between s*** for brains and the bears the last vestiges of my desire to do the ...

The roadside Trump store I rode past in Montana might be bigger. The horribly rascist truck driver I spoke to might be fatter. All the lovely people I met will be more lovely.

And to be fair to Memory Map they are a small company who have never veered from what they do.

Currently trying out the HiiKER app, seems ok at the moment (ditched the OS app now) I got a years OS sub for £12 in a recent offer and I'm not convinced that was good vfm if I'm honest. 🤣 The OS app is a disgrace. It takes over a minute to load a map on my phone even when the map has been download...

I sacked off our financial advisor after a bit of reading and finding out that he was employed by the ministry of the bleeding obvious. If you can put the work into a bit of research it’s not too hard. It’s seems like the maths you need to do is to work out your pensionable income post 55. Does that...

Dotwatcher had nothing to do with setting this up, they are just putting the news out there. I mooted the idea last month as I thought it would be good to have a new challenge that doesn't involve vast expense and long haul flights, like the US Triple Crown or the "Full Nelson" that has n...

Does anyone on here know someone who retired recently?

wouldnt it be good, if we all went back to paper maps...like we managed pre mid 2000's. forcing all the tech people to shut. it didnt seem any harder to plot a route IIRC. No it would be sh1t. I hate mahoosive maps spread over a tiny table with stupid folds and bits you can’t see because the paper ...

This is bad. The new owner is a strip and squeeze outfit. Sack all the old staff then squeeze the punters.

Super well done Mr Rodeo

How about open access like Scotland Because.....numbers of 'users'. No open access for camping around Loch Lomond/Trossachs for 6 months of the year - https://www.lochlomond-trossachs.org/things-to-do/camping/campingbyelaws/ It wouldn't be sustainable in many areas, sadly. You can’t conflate that w...

How about open access like Scotland then we don’t need heaps of money. All those £25 could go into a campaign rather than someone’s pocket

If you truly believe in a mission to rewild .. get it done without yet again charging consumers. What way is there of doing things without money or charging someone( given we live in a capitalist world) ? Moat people are not that altruaiatic and perhaps paying customers means mkre land re wilded , ...

Sorry but this is just AirBnB for fields. It’s monetised at both ends of the chain and I’d not pay £25 per annum for the privilege. It’s dressed up with nice words. If you truly believe in a mission to rewild .. get it done without yet again charging consumers. There are many many other ways. Oh .. ...
