This is sort of money related so putting it here .I'm most likely going to retire from my 36 hour p/w job in a few months.Now I want to supplement my pension income with a few hours work each week, I'm thinking ideally 10-15 hours per week, preferably 10 , had something lined up with current employer that suited but that's fallen through. Would there be much call for so few hours p/w from potential employers, going to knock on a few doors soon to find out but I think it's highly unlikely...Read more

I put together this brief video of the few close pass reports I submitted in 2025 which resulted in more than a warning letter.I don't know the actual outcomes. I haven't been asked to give a witness statement for court for any of them, so presumably the drivers didn't contest whatever action the police took. Avon & Somerset's judgment on these is pretty good, in my opinion, if I'm right in interpreting their spartan data. Of course, one or two cases which I thought would merit...Read more

I have been looking at some cheap ones say with the likes of “West Biking” for £25 mark and seems decent enough with right amount of info it provides. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated as always😀

Find it here.6/7 for me.

Aside from the coffee machine, and all the naughty cyclists, here, I'd like to start a thread about haunting experiences. I've had a few of them, but don't know where to start the threadOff we go:- I was once stuck in a cave for 12 hours that was quite memorable... Or the time my dad and I brought a car and he drove it away only to find the wheels weren't full tightened up.

The film thread is getting all cluttered up with idiots like me rating serials, shows and documentaries.So, here is the all encompassing TV thread.Review and rate what you're watching or have recently watched, please hide spoilers behind tags!I'll kick off with:Making a Murderer - 6/10A solid but at times frustrating account of Steven Avery. It's a pretty damning critique of the American legal process, and the commitment of the filmmakers is impressive. But some parts are...Read more

Hello. One thing I have found useful during lockdown is building Lego.I found myself suffering from anxiety and this helps! I got myself a Classic Lego set and I am now building lots of different models. Does anyone else on here use Lego? I always loved it as a child. There's loads of ideas online.Please post some pics fellow Lego modellers!
