Top bloke and does a great job

Can’t help but remember the sadly departed Spades Claret whenever there is a book choice topic on here. She had some amazing recommendations.

Seems like the gist of this thread is that if you just toddle about a bit on a daily basis, an EV is ideal, but if you want to do some substantial mileage (without having to wait around for a few hours) an EV becomes much more of an issue. I’d say it completely depends on your journey profile, your...

The football isn't great, but we're playing for fine margins. If we had nicked a goal in two of those 10 0-0s we'd be top of the league. If we'd have been offered this on the first day of the season I'm sure 99% of people would have snapped the hand off. I'm sure bit of patience and all will be wel...

Good to see 1fatclaret making a rare appearance on the messageboard. Still, he deserves some limited respect and a couple of decades off after submitting over seven hundred thousand posts on the various incarnations of this site.

So sorry to hear of your loss DD. Hope you and the family are as well as can be expected at a time like this.

Who is getting off the train at Burnley central? Does that station get any customers these days? Anyone coming from the Colne / Nelson / Brierfield side for one. Or people coming from the less used stations towards Preston that the Blackpool train misses out. So about 6 people every other day, unle...

I don’t think OAP’s are going up are they? Yes, I have deep sympathy for the poster above but, being honest, over four seasons turning from 18 (an adult), it’s not too much different than I’d expect. 21 seems a fair age to end the concessions since most will be through full time education by that p...

Thank you. Not seen that.

Apparently only affects 253 people. There used to be a 18-22 category, which was removed this season. It might only be 253 people, but they are the same 253 people that got hammered with a 46% increase last season. So an 18 year old has gone from 2022-23 - £99 23/24 -£145 24/25 - £246 25/26 - £520 ...

Under 22 has been removed and will be under 21 only. Where is this information coming from? Seen nothing. This being the case I’ll have been hammered twice in 2 seasons. My twins were 19 at time of last renewal and were hit with a 46% uplift from previous year. Now, they will be 20 at time of renew...

Too many blind holes for my liking. At Marsden or Clitheroe? The blind holes at Marsden (5th, 6th and 12th) are only really blind if you take the trees on. The 18th is sort of blind but you can see the fairway where you should be hitting it. It’s only a left or right miss hit that becomes blind.

1fatclaret

I’m a member up at Marsden and have seen it really struggle this year. The weather has absolutely crippled it. So many days the course has had to close because of flooded greens and fairways. This includes two days just last week. It’s a privately run club now and needs membership and visitors to fu...

This was the reply I got today after asking why two tickets had gone to an old address, again, and where the other two tickets might be. I also had the temerity to ask them to investigate how this might have happened, again. “Good Afternoon, Thank you for your email. If you have not received your se...

Bumping this back up as this has happened to me for the 2nd year in a row. All details correct on the website so no idea how it’s happened. 2 of 4 tickets received. No sign of other 2

1fatclaret

If you haven't yet received your ST I'd call in and get them to provide you with a replacement. Just picked mine up from an address which I left over 2 years ago. Just had similar for 2 of our 4 tickets, that’s despite checking every possible page on the site where details, are stored and they’re a...

I think our front line and midfield share this view. They certainly enjoyed watching him do whatever the f=-k he wanted. So frustrating to see us give him acres of space to just do whatever he wanted to in. Really poor.

Anyone recommend somewhere to part outside London. We are staying at Tower Bridge next weekend but would like to dump the car Friday rather than driving in. People have recommended Brent cross or Finchley but just wondered if anyone else had any opinion? A decent alternative to the tube is the Tham...

1fatclaret

You do realise that our defenders can also challenge for crosses. Goalkeepers are not solely responsible for free headers. I’ve only got as far as this post before I had to reply. It implies that the first goal was partly down to the defender for not challenging for the ball? Listen to the goal on ...

Paper was fine.

Not sure on transferring it but I’d imagine taking a screenshot of the code and sending the image to the new recipient would work

I'd like to apologise to you, it appears from reading back that I appeared to be patronising and condescending to you, with a reference to "average joe" on a message board. I don't think our viewpoints are that far apart, and I welcome intelligent dialog with others regarding the issues we face. Fo...

Why so aggressive? I didn’t belittle you at all. I like EVs and my observations about the charging network are as valid as yours. I’ll leave it there, apologies for having an opinion, I won’t do it again. You tried to imply your line of work and discussions with ‘academics’ gave you a superior insi...

I would never dream of filling up my diesel at a motorway service station. Genuinely interested, are chargers at service stations not more expensive to utilise than home / elsewhere? Does this not negate some of the cost benefit? The Tesla chargers are cheaper than others. The Tesla chargers at ser...

1fatclaret

Rather presumptuous to say I’ve never owned an EV, though I admit I haven’t. I have driven several, and I do like them but that doesn’t negate the issues I have with them currently I also work with 2 people who have them, and they both concur with my observations regarding charging points and they ...

1fatclaret

Stop being purposefully obtuse. I made an observation about the charging network. You may well disagree, because you think I am against EVs (which I am not, read my other posts on this thread) and then you mention queues at pumps as if that is a fair comparison. To educate you, it is not. I can ref...

It depends on whether you actually want to go anywhere of any distance, in the knowledge that you're actually going to arrive. Bournemouth away would be interesting. Driven to Bristol and back many times in a fully electric car. Leave home fully charged (empty to full cost - £6) and need to stop us...

Sounds about right. How many OG’s did Des get? No wonder I retired through a persistent back injury, picking the ball out of the net so often!

Nope. It was a one year loan. Had to be returned so that the next, bright shining star, could have the pleasure.

What year was Coal Clough ? Wasn’t they the top team at one time ? Who played for them ? I played for them mid nineties.

Do these air fryers have any use in making stews, bolognese, shepherd's pie, omelettes, soups......? If you get the 15 in 1 version of the ninja, yes, you can cook pretty much anything in it.

I also need one for my daughter. She’s at Newcastle uni so can meet outside the ground on the day, or, I can organise to meet pretty much anywhere as I travel the country a bit.

Thanks for that. Unfortunately not available for my car/charger combination yet.

Best thing to do here is lie. I did, twice. All you actually want is cheap electricity between 11 and 5. Your car will most likely be able to set the charging schedule and octopus don’t check you car / charger combo.

The vast majority of my time sees the car running on electric mode alone. It is just a pain that electricity is so expensive now.

On an 18 mile full charge? Ok. Not many people can survive on 18 miles without using their ICE engine. You’re clearly an exception.

1fatclaret

Just to throw in my experience. I have a plug in hybrid. It cost me about 8k to trade it on for my old ICE car. It was already 1 year old. In last year’s summer I was getting about 28miles from a full charge. This winter I do well to get 18! I am one of those people whose electric supplier went bus...

1fatclaret

And more accurate in 2021. 2-3p per mile is now closer to 15-20p per mile on public chargers now Depends. Off peak charging on Tesla network is 40p pkwh I get about 4 mile pkwh. At home I pay 10p pkwh so 2.5p per mile. I get 8ppm from the company and save £600 a month on bik tax. Absolute no braine...

You dont need brands you need layers - its all physics

I disagree with this. If all your layers are badly fitted, wrong materials (cotton for example) and don’t repel and disperse water properly, you’re going to have a miserable time in the wrong weather, no matter how many layers you have

Look at any film or TV crew in some remote location for a month and all you'll see is North Face and Arc'teryx.

Maybe, but one of those brands offers low grade, high priced tat that diminishes their brand. Their top end stuff is fantastic quality. The low priced gear is poor and overpriced

Have a look at the Frahm parka

Finally jumped in and bought one on the resale. Absolutely love it. What a piece of kit. I’ve got warmer coats but nothing that looks and feels anything like as good as this.

As long as I don’t balloon or diet, I reckon it’s a 15 year investment.

I really do recommend you get help.

I work in Northallerton and as long as you leave in plenty of time, you can go over Blubberhouses. If you hit Colne at the wrong time, you’re in trouble, but that’s the same for any day! If you’re heading over that way at rush hour, you can either go Red Lane and through Barrowford (avoids the nort...
