I did (W11 & Edge) earlier in the year but had problems with Edge (not limited to RMW, they were re the web generally and email as well) so stopped using it. I can't recall whether it was significantly better or worse than issues since with W11 & Chrome. 7 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold PupCam Posted July 16 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 16 Good Morning. Is this "Really Useful Box Anonymous"? Hello, my name is Alan ..... I've recently inherited from a great but sadly late mate a big box of taps (and to a lesser extent dies) to add to my own modest collection. They all need a jolly good clean to remove the debris from their last bit of sterling work and then need sorting out. To that end, I found myself perusing the website of the big river last night. A stash of eight 0.7L Really Useful Boxes was ordered at about 22:30. A £30 gift card I received recently for my birthday eased the checkout process and fortunately the total came to a whisker over £35 which I notice (with some horror!) is now the minimum order for my preferred Cheapskate Free Delivery option. Short arms, deep pockets? No, Puppers doesn't have any pockets 🤣 Anyway, I woke to a text saying that the boxes would be delivered today (not bad for free delivery) so each will be suitably annotated; Metric, BA, BSF, BSW, BSC, UNF, UNC etc and filled with the appropriate items when they arrive. I've sorted out about 2/3rds of the taps so far but I got bored so I'll finish them off later on. Why is the crucial bit of the very feint markings on taps always the bit that you can't read whilst markings such as "England", "Presto" etc are clear as day? The Law of Mr S.Od I suppose. Am I the only one that thinks a nice stack of Really Useful Boxes is not only a thing of beauty but also a sign of a job well done? By the way, does anyone know when the next meeting of RUB Anonymous is? TTFN 16 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there's Mr York peddling as fast as he can. Correct. When I submitted my post just now it went "Out to lunch" and displayed Personally I think the Google Tag Manager needs a jolly good talking to as his performance is appalling. A cut in his salary and removal of his company car at the very least I would have thought. "Refreshing" the browser (aka by others as giving it a kick up the backside) by giving focus to the address bar and then hitting return just resulted in the usual "The Community is Temporarily Unavailable" message. Closing the browser and re-opening the page brought quick results but you shouldn't have to do this!

RMweb Premium Gwiwer Posted July 16 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 16 Owing to repeated hangs, time-outs and Community Unavailable messages I am unable to post this message. Any content in this post is a figment of your imagination. Furthermore due to the time it often takes for anything to work on ERs I have given up and gone away from the keyboard altogether because it is no longer early. 2 3 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heavy rain forecast, very dark grey clouds out there. Heavy lorries going past, some have deposited stuff on the concrete pan , I ain't going to look closer. Heavy rain arrived In the meantime some muddling has occurred, the type using jigsaws and screwdrivers, to make something for parallel bits of metal to sit on. I have 10mm, 15mm, 20mm, screws..

Just be like me never expect them to win so when they don't you don't become all bitter and twisted at being let down again. Only another eleven more days to go to the Olympics. So the News media - other terms are available have to find something to do, otherwise we'd sus that there a bunch of over payed, jumped up t#shers and where would that end. 11 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coombe Barton Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 (edited) I do not see the importance that others place on football, or any sport. Why there is the insistence on being victorious at any cost or else, as manager, you fall on your sword, I really cannot fathom.

I will be honest, I am fed up with the news and it's not going to get any better between: The General Election with endless politics for weeks on end, The kick-ball and doubtless a postmortem for weeks to come, Wimbledon, Here in Wales the lead up and resignation today of the First Minister, Olympics, then American Presidential Election Yes, I am a grumpy old s0d and totally apathetic where sport is concerned.

RMweb Gold PupCam Posted July 16 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 16 (edited) Well my good news is that the bag of Really Useful Boxes turned up at about 1:00pm. The remaining taps have been cleaned and sorted resulting in: I've just got to work out where I'm going to keep the boxes now! ION "Image Upload Failed" ........ Once again RMWeb is becoming tiresome to use. An emergent property of the RMWeb system for me might be that I will be re-evaluating the benefits of my Gold membership - there's only one way from Gold and it's not up. It does seem like we are not alone and I reckon it's nothing to do with my browser cache or cookies but what do I know about it? I suspect not-a-lot!

Why there is the insistence on being victorious at any cost or else, as manager, you fall on your sword, I really cannot fathom. Henry VIII is by some accounts reputed to have made unlawful the inflating of a pig's bladder and the kicking of it around for sport; this has never been repealed. In 2004 we made the chasing and killing of foxes for sport unlawful. It remains lawful to shoot "game" birds during designated times of year as sport. The LACS suggests up to 146,000 pheasants, 38,300 partridges and 5,300 grouse are killed in the name of sport annually in the UK. Discuss. Henry VIII is also recorded as having regularly endured an enema formed by an inflated pig's bladder holding the liquid and which was squeezed along a greased tube into the required Royal orifice. I bet that wasn't considered a sport! 3 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Hroth Posted July 16 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 16 Really Useful Boxes are Really Useful for storing things that run on parallel strips of metal too.

RMweb Gold Popular Post DaveF Posted July 16 RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted July 16 I did the required shopping this morning and now have a pillow which is a bit thicker and firmer and should help with my neck - I hope. I nearly bought some shoes but they didn't have the wide fitting one in stock. I tried the pillow when I got home, it seems OK but I think my head needs to rest on it for at least 8 hours to make sure. This afternoon I've been to Whitley Bay to look at St Mary's lighthouse now the scaffolding is about finished. I had the sense to park in the free car park and walk rather than pay. Not that I'm mean... Then I gardened, the wheelie bin is now just about full with shrub trimmings and dead flowers so it can go out to be emptied early tomorrow morning - early means usually before 08.00. There were spopts of rain this morning, this afternoon had a bit of sun while I was in the garden, it may rain in a bit. St Mary's lighthouse and keepers' cottages. The red roofed buildings are privately owned, the council own the rest. David 20 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Popular Post Tony_S Posted July 16 RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted July 16 Afternoon call, This message is coming to you from the east coast of Scotland via Starlink satellites. This is a very new ship. Walking round the promenade deck the paint is all white and gleaming, and no rust needing to be chipped away. The ship is very comfortable but my only complaint is poor signage. The designer seems to think colour coding the carpets is better than putting up a sign informing you which stairway (A, B, or C). The signs for the loos are tiny, and there are no signs indicating where to find a route to a lavatory. The crew are helpful fortunately.
