    HS2 Bat tunnel - some of the backstory

    While I have no experience of bats (but I do think they are beautiful creatures) I do have plenty of experience of HS2. Ignoring whether the bat tunnel in principle is the right mitigation measure or not, one of the reasons that the costs of HS2 infrastructure is so high comes down to the...

    Loft Insulation - SCAM??

    I think the opposite. Spray foam insulation has been getting a lot of bad press recently with insurance companies and mortgage providers not wanting to touch houses that have it. The scammers are probably have some method of trying to scam money out of people playing on the fear that they may...

    End of land lines

    BT sent me a new hub a few weeks ago and are constantly emailing me to get it set up to use my landline. The reality is the last BT hub went in the bin in favour for something more reliable and we haven't actually plugged a handset into our landline since we moved in nearly a decade ago...

    Gopro or dji

    I was looking at these a little wile ago, along with the Insta ace pro. I went for the DJI in the end, swayed by the first rate customer service I have had with their drones. Only made one proper video with it so far but I am happy with it. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5HCB-GiWYU

    The General Drone-Related Thread

    Merthyr Tydfil. Going to Bike Park Wales so not really sure what there is nearby, I will have to look into it over the weekend. Will be stopping of at the Forest of Dean on the way so maybe some options there too.

    How does your garden grow? ( open thread)

    The mild weather has my garden going a bit crazy for such an early point of the year. Yesterday I cut the grass for the first time as it was already 6" long, and re-seeded some bald patches, most of the bedding plants are already flowering, I have a Mediterranean fruit tree that has been...

    Advice on new Graphics card

    I recently upgraded to the rtx 3060ti to use with DR as my previous card was not up to the job. From the research I did before hand I learnt that DR benefits from as much graphics ram as you can afford, so I was also looking at the 4060 16GB card, but it turns out it uses an old standard and is...

    The rise of self medicating?

    I am sure there is a combination of factors, but I imagine the most prevalent would be Lack of GP's / long waiting times for A&E And a rise in the "we have had enough of experts" mentality / growing belief in conspiracies

    The General Drone-Related Thread

    This is my latest from a couple of weeks back. Headed up to Brick Lane for a bowling session with some work colleagues and arrived early, which gave me some time for this. Probably not to everyone's tastes. Trying for a gritty feel to this one and there is no shortage of things I can see...
