  1. How the hell did the HoD only have 2(?) days notice? Unless it was something very serious I'd be going f*ing ballistic if I was her.
  2. That's why I worded it that way.
  3. Good cars Roomsters, our 90hp diesel does everything we need a car to do.
  4. Quite a while ago I visited a local classic car garage with 3 Daytonas in the showroom. £5k each and they'd give a discount if I bought all 3 of them. There was also a very nice DB5 there, I'm reminded of it when one of the local garage's customers brings his in for servicing. He lives in Portugal so it's probably due to set off back for another one by the time he gets home.
  5. He died the best part of 15 years ago.
  6. They weren't Rheas then? "Twelve rheas, which are large flightless birds distantly related to ostriches and emus, escaped from a farm near Stalham on June 21." "A mob of runaway rheas which escaped a Norfolk farm three weeks ago are still on the loose – and now a woman is claiming to have seen one almost 30 miles away from where they first went missing." https://www.northnorfolknews.co.uk/news/23645220.norfolk-runaway-rheas-spotted-30-miles-stalham-farm/ It's a good job Bernard Matthews is no longer with us otherwise there'd probably be a new type of Twizzler.
  7. Up to 10pm has been mentioned on my delivery information for at least a year now. I imagine some drivers do it after the kids have got home from school so it suits them. Ours just leave it in the porch, we leave the outer door unlocked if we're expecting a delivery.
  8. That was the polite name for them in my youth, a good 15 years or so before yours. The one almost invariably used was the one Busman quotes.
  9. This is just the first result from a Google search About RECOVER: The National Institutes of Health Researching COVID to Enhance Recovery (NIH RECOVER) Initiative is a $1.15 billion effort, including support through the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, that seeks to identify how people recuperate from COVID-19, and who are at risk for developing post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 (PASC). Researchers are also working with patients, clinicians, and communities across the United States to identify strategies to prevent and treat the long-term effects of COVID – including long COVID. For more information, please visit recovercovid.org(link is external). The second id a UK one: REACT Long COVID The REACT Long COVID (REACT-LC) study involves follow-up of over 120,000 people to understand why some people who are infected continue to have symptoms for several weeks or months – a condition called Long COVID – while others don’t. REACT-LC is uniquely placed to include a large and diverse group of people from the wider REACT programme who have had different experiences of COVID-19. REACT-LC aims to identify new approaches to diagnosing, supporting and managing Long COVID https://www.imperial.ac.uk/medicine/research-and-impact/groups/react-study/studies/react-long-covid/
  10. If Hagerty start quoting Invacare values then you'll know that they've arrived and the values will go up as a result. Maybe enough to start producing replicas as Dobloseven says, there seems to be enough fibreglass moulding expertise out there looking at the garden ornaments that you can buy, which appear to be far more elaborate.
  11. I think part of the problem to get any research into 'brainfog' is that it's pretty intangible except to those suffering from it, for example there's no before and after comparisons possible. I guess that it might be covered as part of the 'Long Covid' research but imagine that it would be nigh impossible to get funding to look into it unless someone senior in the research world had a personal interest. Even if there was the timescale would probably be a decade or more before there were any solid conclusions never mind solutions.

    Air cooled

    What are they defining as the heater? The heat exchangers?
  13. Tesco built a large supermarket locally a few years ago. They kept on being refused but carried on appealing. I understand that in the end the council apparently ran out of money and resources to fight it so gave in. Maybe brown paper bags were involved but the council put up quite a fight first.
  14. If you have time it might be worth going to Jūrmala Beach, it's not that far from Riga if my memory serves me correctly.
  15. Do co workers comment on your choice of transport or do they just ignore it as it's not something they aspire to on a PCP?
  16. We get F15s from Lakenheath as well, a bit further up the coast than you. I think we're on the direct route to the North Sea training area.
  17. Daytonas were about that then. I went to a garage that had 3 of them for sale at that price and you probably could have got a multi buy discount as they were desperate to sell them.
  18. So just down the road. I vaguely remember being told his UK base was near Gunton, pretty convenient for the Gunton Arms.
  19. There's a DB5 that gets driven from Portugal, or at least did so, for servicing at a garage near Cromer. By the time it gets back it can't have many miles left before it has to go back for another.
  20. Alitalia used to be the same in one of their earlier incarnations, one time they managed to deliver my missing bag to the wrong Milan Airport. It happens, no system is perfect. If you want hassle free hire a private jet.
