I agree. This website has been very useful and encouraging on my language learning journey.

Does the fifth cyclist only cycle at the velodrome?

I’ve often thought cold fizzy drinks or bottles of water on hot days

Technically, no, as in the UK, you can’t steal electricity… you can only abstract electricity, which is an offence in its own right. (IANAL)

I’ll get my coat.

I was so annoyed to get that email. Never using them again. Going to install a non-smart wireless thermostat, or maybe a HA install if I’m feeling brave.

Thank you for letting me know! I didn’t realise that it had connectors at all. I’m looking forward to checking it out tomorrow :) Cheers!

That is good news. I have to draw a lot of diagrams and I find myself stuck between a few tools, none of which is perfect. Any one of those that improves is a great thing!

• Draw.io is brilliant for quickly creating stuff, but you can’t easily reshape shapes
• Visio is ok, but for software that aims to be diagram -focused, compared to draw.io, its connectors are appalling
• Affinity designer is good, and not too expensive, but the lack of (outline+text*) objects (compared to draw.io and visio) quickly becomes a pain with complex diagrams. Plus complete lack of support for variable fonts is a showstopper for me.
• I was really pleasantly surprised by inkscape when I tried it again the other year after many years of not using it. It’s really come along and improved. I know its not intended for diagrams, so dynamic connectors and (outline+text*) shapes aren’t there. If they were, it would be the perfect tool.

I’m looking forward to trying out the new features of this release.

*When I say (outline+text) I mean a shape with text in it that isn’t two separate objects I have to wrangle with careful alignment or grouping etc. If you don’t know what I mean, take a look at how easy it is to put text in shapes in draw.io compared to inkscape

Not quite a direct answer, but since watching Mortimer and Whitehouse: Gone Fishing, we’ve enjoyed referring to things in tins/cans as trapped potatoes, trapped beans etc.

It seems to use jawg.io for its base map. Perhaps it’s this?

It brings me a lot of joy to contribute to OSM. I haven’t written anything other than the occasional script for years, so it feels good to help the community in ways like this instead.

I’ve sunk so many hours into it. Either “armchair mapping” with OSM and the imagery overlays, or (more fun) wandering with the android Street Complete app to fill in gaps when I’m out and about.

This thread about the most northerly The North sign might be of interest, and possibly even help :)

Oh, and free access to RCR. What a nice surprise!

We all try to forget!

That’s not quite true… just less than half of voting Conservative party members voted for him, preferring instead the steady hand of Liz Truss. Well done there guys.

Not sure what sort of duck we saw on the way into Reading on the K&A, but it gave me a dirty look as we went by!

Oh wow, over £100 lower! Thank you!

I’m keen to learn what the other 20% are satisfactory about.

People seem so friendly here too! (for now at least!)

Maybe he thinks that more of his constituents are pro breathing decent air than pro driving smoggy private vehicles. I’d like to think he’s onto something.

BTW, the duck logo is the duck from Sarah & Duck. It’s a brilliant show, and I think can be found on iPlayer.
