    [Help] Electric radiator for conservatory

    We have one installed in our utility area where our CH rads didn't provide enough heat. It's an Ecostrad IQ Ceramic (500w) and does the job really well, controllable by an app. Easy to install, it came with a 3 pin plug. They do them in different sizes up to 2KW. We got ours from Electrical...

    General Photography thread

    I tend to buy most of my used gear from London Camera Exchange (reasonable prices and easy to deal with) but I’m happy to buy from any authorised Canon dealer with a high street presence. I’d also be happy to buy from MBP, who I understand have a very good reputation. I find the Camera Price...

    There's a large range of really good used Canon EF and EF-S lenses on the market these days. Some that I have (or have had) that may meet your needs are (prices for ‘very good’ or ‘excellent’ condition, with 6 months’ warranty): EF-S 10-18mm f4-5.6 IS, light, versatile. £125. EF-S 24mm F2.8...

    [Misc] Retirement

    Mrs Ted and I looked into Trusts, predominantly to protect our joint wishes but also with an eye on care home fees. We concluded that: - if you are going to set up a Trust, then you need to have full confidence in the person(s) making any decisions. - one of the selling points of a Trust is to...

    It's great to see the table back in action. Well done and thanks - it provides a great incentive. After a dismal 18 months of injuries, I hope to be able to contribute to it in a few weeks.

    My HR never reaches 170 these days, cadence rarely goes above 172. I've always put my low cadence down to my long legs, but apparently that's no excuse. Happy New Year everyone.

    [Misc] Is this a clear breach of GDPR?

    My understanding is that authority to share details has to be pretty specific and cannot be wrapped up in a generic document, such as an employment contract, T's and C's, etc. Sometimes, with my communications, there is a need for recipients to, in turn, communicate among themselves. In these...

    [Misc] Is this a clear breach of GDPR?

    I regularly send out group emails to hundreds of recipients and have nightmares about making a mistake like this. Even though my work is not for a company, GDPR rules are clear for all organisations and individuals - no details can be shared unless specifically authorised by the individual -...

    I've seen a 1% incline as a suggestion to account for lack of headwind and road resistance. During a bad winter I spent a lot of time on a treadmill and I noticed a gradual change in my stride pattern/foot plant etc. I think my body learnt that the longer both my feet were off the belt, the...

    Surely they should be using gun times for selection purposes? Chip timing works fine for most requirements in large fields, but you can't race someone if you can't see them!

    How old is your "friend"? In the M65 car, on the way to an event a few years ago, someone said that he had recently fallen over, the third time that year. It was met with a chorus of "me too". We all agreed that we never used to fall over, so concluded that our age may well have been a...

    What a fine looking bunch! At least I will now be able to spot you when I eventually get myself to an event near you.

    [Finance] Equity release

    A relative of mine recently went for Equity Release. In theory it was a good idea for him - he has no close family members to whom he wants to leave money to and, sadly, is very ill and has a short life expectancy. He used some of the money to buy a new car and the remaining cash will pay for...

    My slide down the table during Feb and March was similar to the Albion's. Thankfully they've turned things round but mine continues, it looks like the Gaffa will be next to glide past. No running for me for ten weeks (due to a knee problem), now it's the start of a long slog back.

    Not sure. I thought that the younger you are, the more insulting the word git became. So I looked it up. I think all the definitions mentioned in the first paragraph have probably always applied to me. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git_(slang)

    That's good, we're covered for a good few years. And we still have words like incredibly, phenomenally, disgustingly, etc. in reserve for later.

    Have these 'git' designations (old, very old) been formally agreed on here? If so, what's next?
