Hi All, Heading on a last minute trip to Cyprus next week (we were supposed to be going to Devon but realised the cost was the same and, you know, sun!) Thought I would make this a more general recommendations thread as have previously had great advice for other places and it'll help others...

Without wishing to turn this into Mumsnet - does anyone else find that they're just constantly bloody ill from ~October till April every year? Colds, sore throats one after the other... As soon as it warms up, all is well. I guess having small kids doesn't help, but I do shed loads of exercise...

Sorry - very random thread - an old friend just asked me if I remembered going to see an England game at the Goldstone in the 90s... I definitely do not! Was there one (presumably under-18s or something?) and are the line-ups available anywhere if so?

From my flight on Saturday - bonus points for any that I've missed:

Keep getting the following error, and can't find a fix: Error: 'list_rbind' is not an exported object from 'namespacepurrr' Sorry, this is as off topic as it gets!

Sorry for the massively geeky and off topic post, but saw the below at the National Railway Museum in York yesterday and have always been amazed how what was once one of, if not the biggest industries in the city is now almost unknown. Does anyone have any family history with the place or...

So, some 27 months since my last Albion game, at Bramall Lane, I will finally be seeing them again in the flesh at b Elland Road. This would've been unthinkable pre-2019 as I'd been a STH for 20 years... Am I looking forward to it? Not really, largely thanks to the stupid KO time/day. Also I...

Hi All, Our lighting circuit break on our electrical box tripped this afternoon (of course immediately before the Bank Holiday weekend). The switch won't stay up if you try to reset it. I've made sure all the lights are switched off around the house but no luck. I've got our (excellent)...

The four UK governments have put out a joint statement about the decision to relax restrictions for Christmas. Here is the full text (from the Welsh government’s press release.)

I'm sure this has been done before for Brighton and Hove, and it's hard to beat Crocodile Walk 2000, but do you have any odd street names near you? Just been for my lunchtime stroll and walked past Football. There's a picture of a football on the house at the end and I'd always assumed it was...

Anyone else going through this today? I guess I shouldn't be concerned as all the schools round here are good, it's just the novelty. I was told that the offers usually come just after midnight but still waiting for ours - I guess with the current situation etc.

Several (admittedly small scale) studies have shown that cyclists drive better than non-cyclists. Makes sense to me as you have to be more careful as a cyclist as your life is in peril, then this carries through to your driving...

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/bike-blog/2019/jul/03/ten-common-myths-about-bike-lanes-and-why-theyre-wrong :clap2: Lights blue touch paper and runs.

Assumed this was a daft rumour but they've got these up all over Manchester city centre.

Does anyone have any experience of appealing a rail penalty fare? Is it worth it? I normally have a season ticket but for the last few weeks I’ve been all over the place so have been getting tickets on an ad-hoc basis when I’ve needed to go to the office. I usually grab a ticket from machine...

Trains on 6th April Brighton - Three Bridges. ENGINEERING WORK POSTPONED, TRAINS RUNNING AS NORMAL Uckfield line might be busy.

I get why students get a rail card, and people who've only just left school, but why do 26-30s get one? I had more disposable income as a 26 year old than I do now and I would imagine that's the case with most people, certainly those with kids! Just wondered what the thinking was. By the way...

...Town fan on BBC Radio Leeds said the FA are biased against northern clubs :lol:

Any tips for this? Looks a bit of a nightmare. Worth using just park or similar? I've not tried these before.

Evening all. Have stripped the hideous wallpaper from the end of the kitchen-diner. There's bare plaster underneath. I've got as much of the old wallpaper paste off as possible using a sponge scourer and warm water. Do i need to prep the surface at all (watered down emulsion?) Or can I paint...
