RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted April 4, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 4, 2012 Trying to find something to ignite the gas hob when the electricity has failed tends to be fun here. I can never find a box of matches when I need them. My piezo gas torch usually saves the day. Tony Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium 45156 Posted April 4, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 4, 2012 Evening All Been a bit off colour today, with quite a lot of stiffness and pain, and decided to have a very easy day. Didn't even bother to fire up the computer until now. Gordon - you have to retune when the analogue signal goes off, as they reallocate some of the stations to different channels and also they boost the digital signal to a level which could not be used earlier as it would have caused inerference with the old analogue signal. If you don't retune, you'll find that you've lost about a quarter of the stations that you normally get. Somehow, Lancaster's micro climate has managed to avoid the snow again, though it appeared North, East and South of us. It's now bright and suny with only one okta visible, but with about 30mph winds. I agree that snow in April is not that unusual - I recall often having snow around Easter, both down South and in Scotland. What was a bit odd was the quick change from near summer conditions back to winter weather over such a quick period. I'm off to have a look around Regards to All Stewart 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted April 4, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 4, 2012 Somehow, Lancaster's micro climate ... Benfleet seems to also benefit from local climate effects though at the moment the early appearance of mosquitoes is more of a feature than a benefit.

RMweb Premium NGT6 1315 Posted April 4, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 4, 2012 Evening all! WLAN appears to be acting up at the moment, so I'm on my iPhone right now, and would like to introduce you to little Charlie: He's about nine weeks old now. He still sleeps a lot, and snores when he does! 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted April 4, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 4, 2012 Is he called Charlie in honour of the world's most famous beagle owner? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold BoD Posted April 4, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 4, 2012 He's about nine weeks old now. He still sleeps a lot, and snores when he does! That describes me perfectly.... .....apart from the nine weeks old bit. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium NGT6 1315 Posted April 4, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 4, 2012 Is he called Charlie in honour of the world's most famous beagle owner? Not that I'm aware of, but the thought did cross my mind. I believe one of his brothers was called Chester, though. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted April 4, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 4, 2012 When we first brought Robbie home we were rather concerned as the how to look after your puppy book we had suggested that he would sleep a lot and would not be able to cope with too much running about or walking once he was inoculated. He is far more likely now he is nearly 8 to sleep in the day than he ever was as a puppy. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium NGT6 1315 Posted April 5, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 5, 2012 Morning all... Rather dreich outdoors, so I can well understand why Charlie didn't want to go outside for more than just a few minutes. He's still too small for any walks longer than this street in any case. Not sure what we'll be doing today, but I'm sure Charlie will be having some ideas! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Morning All, It has let to get light properly - and looks grey this morning! Yuk! Thankfully, Thursday is this weeks Friday - if you know what I mean. Pleased to meet you Charlie. Have a good day everyone... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixoh8sixoh Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Morning all! Woken by pigeons cooing Love Machine by Girls Aloud outside my window. Looks like a cool but bright day in prospect. Enjoyed climbing last night, had 2 friends with me, hands are a little sore today! Will make an early start at work and if I'm really lucky might even get an early finish for the weekend too.

travelintrev Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Morning all, Looks like today will be less warm, (I hope!) .Tomorrow will be a normal working day for us, but will have Monday off (well I do have to work on Sunday) Welcome to Charlie, I'm sure there's good times ahead.

RMweb Premium NGT6 1315 Posted April 5, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 5, 2012 Welcome to Charlie, I'm sure there's good times ahead. It does look like that, though the in-laws are telling me it did take some getting used to taking him for the first walk of the day (including the usual "relief") around 6 am! Also, he seems to be quite in the mood for playing even in the early morning... His current favourite would appear to be a feather duster. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewC Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Morning all! Woken by pigeons cooing Love Machine by Girls Aloud outside my window. If ever there was justification for shooting pigeons, that would be it. Come to think of it, that would be justification for shooting girls aloud. Cool, quiet, but windy morn here in the boring borough. Cyber tech geek mode = on For all you Mac owners out there that don't think virus and trojans can get to you, here's a reality check. A recent internal security note at work shows that while Macs represent around 12% of online personal and business computing, they are now accounting for nearly 30% of all Botnet activity. That means you are nearly 2 1/2 times more likely to be infected without knowing, than the rest of the world. Here's a public article that shows just how fast the malware and trojan infection of macs is happening. http://nakedsecurity.sophos.com/2012/04/05/mac-botnets-gaining-traction-using-drive-by-java-exploit/?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=chetwisniewski&utm_campaign=naked%2Bsecurity Surf safe, always put a condom on your floppy.

DonBradley Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 (edited) Hello all, Still lovely clear weather and rain still forecast for Saturday and Sunday. We had some electricity blackouts a few weeks ago during the hot spells due to excess demand due to the use of air conditioners, however normal services have resumed. Will probably recur when it turns cold and electric heaters are turned on. The world does stop turning! I bulk buy my brandy supply, so closure of the off licence does not usually affect me.

RMweb Gold BoD Posted April 5, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 5, 2012 (edited) Do you folks have a contract with your Off Licence or just use Pay as You Go? Edited April 5, 2012 by BoD 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonBradley Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 They ensure that they have my regular order in stock and bring it out as I enter the shop without my having to say a word, other than "Good morning". It's pay as you go though. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
