Re: Seatbelts on planes

I always have my seatbelt on, even when in a flat bed (on an aircraft).. also, taxying on the ground; if we’ve thrown the anchors out on landing, the breaks can get quite grabby so I’d recommend waiting for the seatbelt signs are turned off, especially in the US as the vehicles on the apron are unc...

Probably end of June/beginning of July. I've got quite a bit on during the next month so delivery timescale is as much dependent on my diary :lol:
Ooh, that's quick. Plenty of fun to be had with that this summer then. 8-)

Re: Seatbelts on planes

I do tend to unbuckle when we are on the ground taxiing, but I keep it done up all flight. Just slackened off a bit while eating or sleeping. Same... just common sense right? And make sure its above clothing/blanket so I don't get bothered and the cabin crew can see its on. Simples. Almost the same...

Re: Test drive report

8-) Nice. I can understand where you're coming from with all your logic with the Emira, but I don't see why the special-ness of it would wane? I don't think it would for me. I've seen quite a few now, and consistently gives me a feeling I've seen something a bit special (something for Porsches only ...

Re: Ebrahim Raisi

If it was an accident the timing is pretty unfortunate for regional stability, mind you, I think with states like Iran you are probably equally as likely to be bumped off by your internal political rivals as those of another state. Who gets blamed officially could also vary depending on the optics o...

Re: Fury vs Usyk

Very impressive from Usyk. He's a proper boxer. I don't know much about boxing, however that sounds spot on. Fury looks like a person who was born with a freakishly exceptional talent for dodging punches and hitting people, almost like he has a sixth sense. Coupled with a good physique for it, for ...

Re: Rum Fred

Is it just me or is rum one of the best drinks for keeping hangovers under control? I don’t find that because rums tend to be pretty drinkable so it’s far too easy to do in a bottle 😂 It's something I sometimes switch to when I've had my fill of beer, and I'm usually surprised by the bearable hango...

Re: Food Fred

Duncs - I'd be interested to see that recipe if you wouldn't mind sharing. This is basically what I tried to make, I think the full detailed recipe is behind a pay wall, but between what he's saying and the images in the reel it's basically enough to give it a good go. https://www.instagram.com/ree...

@Gavster did you try that Days stuff? I haven't tried it but they seem to be really pushing it to me on social media. Nope not seen that one. I was just working through whatever I could find in the supermarkets so if it was online only it would have passed me by Supposedly available in Tesco, but I...

My drunk purchasing doesn't tend to extend beyond my immediate needs like food and more booze. :(

Re: The Weather Thread.

I set an alarm to see if I could see anything, but our neighbourhood is too well lit at night, couldn't see anything or be bothered to go down the lane into the dark in the hope of getting a better look. :( I'll just have to see it the old fashioned way some day.

Re: People (Office)

I like going into the office. If the pressure is on I get loads done at home (and would rather save the commute time), but if I'm scratching around a bit I get more of the side tasks done in the office. I don't get in our office much though, I'm a couple of days a fortnight at a site in Plymouth, so...

@Ascender I reckon you've got some good stuff there. Beware someone on the Starwars forum saying "Nah, it's not worth much, but I'll take it off your hands".:lol:
