Flyer Forum Code of Conduct

At its best, the Flyer Forum continues to be a valuable resource for the General Aviation community

It is a place where flyers of all experience levels can meet to discuss and exchange up-to-date undistorted...

Welcome to the new Help and Advice forum. You'll probably spot that many of the posts were in Non-Aviation, and some may spot that the politically leaning threads are no more.

The Code of Conduct remains the same…

Be nice, considerate and...

The tagline for the Non-Aviation Forum says:
No religion, no politics and no axe grinding please.
We said a while ago that we would allow the "Neverendum" thread to act as a repository for discussion of Brexit so long as people were...

All over the news tonight.
I’ve clear criteria for clinical settings, based on length of consultation, space available, procedure required (checking BP, taking blood samples etc requires PPE.)

However, outside of work I’m not so sure. I don’t have...

This paper offers some interesting insights, it may also have some bearing on why I'm a bit of a loner..... 8) :D

I have just got this message and have deleted vast numbers of messages to release the 'on hold'message:

But no joy: message still on hold: Does it take some kind of divine intervention to release 'held' messages?

Can anyone point me at a resource - online or paper-ware - that would help me identify crops growing in the fields, at their various stages? I walk through them on my daily exercise and I'd love to know a bit more about what I'm seeing. Google has...

I'm looking for advice regarding the rear light of my 1974 Mobylette.
Okay, now you've stopped laughing I need some advice on why the rear lamp blows. I haven't touched the wiring or electrics and when I put a new lamp in the holder and switch the...

I've got a 2 year old car, with a 70Ah AGM 12v battery (aka 'stop start' battery).

Pre-COVID, car driven daily, battery happy .... normally around 12.5v getting into the car, and no complaints from the car.

During COVID the battery discharged a...

If anybody could offer any insight or point me in the right direction on this subject, it would be greatly appreciated.

Anyway, I'm going to Hawaii with my Lancair in February. I'll be there for 6 months for work, and had the idea of continuing...

Genuine question, I'm not seeking to be clever or undermine government rules.

A real-life example of why I'm asking the question, I'm a member of several classic car clubs, all have cancelled all events at the start of lockdown, but in recent...

So after a break of nearly a year I have found another Nissan leaf to soothe my needs to drive an EV.

But things have changed a bit on the charging front !

No longer does my Ecotricity electric highway card work in the machines at the motorway...

Just taken the back off a Benq GL2580B LCD monitor, and there are a pair of sensors(?) pointing towards each other behind the LCD panel. They are mounted via rubber mounts, giving a degree of suspension. When the rear cover is in place they both...

For my work I am looking for a digital sign size about A3 on which we can display some changing messages to our patients.

Has anyone got expeirience/recommendations?

Thanks in advance

Prompted by the pocket camera thread... any recommendations for a digital photo frame that will let me upload photos from afar and play a slideshow?

There used to be some that were Wi-Fi enabled but I haven’t looked into this for a while.

I’m also...

Since most of us are possibly in for an extended period of @home, what to do?

I already started a playlist on Spotify:

I hope this is an OK request on this forum. My son lives near Sion, Switzerland with his family. My husband and I have been unable to visit for nearly a year and are hoping to go over in November 2020 (13th to 27th) for our new grand daughter's 1st...

I started my renewal training last Dec and Jan but it then all came to a halt. I lined up an instructor to complete and test but she has become unfit and I am looking for an instructor to complete my renewal and Assessment of Competence. I know...

From the start I had accepted the view that this was, by definition, a 'novel' disease against which we have no defence. However I think it was Bob Crowe who linked to this:

Does anyone know and have reasonably used a cheapish wrist type Blood Pressure Monitor that will record over 24hr period and provide a print out .

I thought another stab at the forum crop growing thread might be of interest, so here goes.

Harvesting arable crops generally happens between mid July and the middle of September, but they all get planted at quite different times.

I had been going to enter a team but my mate has got stage fright!

Anyway they are recruiting for the 4th series - if you e-mail contestants@presentable.co.uk you should get an application form.

If anyone is interested in putting a team in then I...

The only things left worth watching on the BBC are foreign buy-ins like The Last Wave - James Delingpole

This BBC Four fantasy drama has pretty French girls, surfing, superpowers and hardly any political correctness

Starting a new thread as I (& others?) might have similar questions in future ..

Curtains

Does anyone have any experience with motorised curtains?

I'd like to automate three curtains in our Sitting Room; ours are fairly heavy & wide,...

Thought I'd ask in case this sounds familiar to anyone.

I regularly have to send invoices via email to a guy I work for, he has an email address "his business@yahoo.co.uk " which he has been using for many years. For reasons I don't...

This weekend, dozens of local radio stations are being shutdown to create a new national network. This includes the one we normally listen to nowadays as background in the kitchen and for the daily commutes in the car, which is once again prompting...

The Canon PowerShot SX740 HS has caught my eye and I wondered what the team thinks It’s around £300/350.

Dear All

I have worked out that this can be done and successfully set this up via Wifi.

The screen as displayed on the IMAC however is only marginally bigger than on the MB.

Does anyone know how to get the display to use the whole screen?

Thanks...

Apologies anybody who can't see Twitter, but I couldn't find the video clip anywhere else. 2 minute speech today by the former PM.

I have been given some corking excuses for strange behaviour including a denial of climb to 4000ft due Covid and having to pay for everything separately due Covid.
Any good ones out there?

I have had dull headlamps on my 10 year old Subaru and recently discovered that headlight polish is a thing. I have successfully polished the lenses which are now clear and shiny.

However there seems to be some controversy about whether HID bulbs...

Sad news.

Hurrah! :) Somewhat weirdly this looks like it will protect the UK car and rail industry. Even more weirdly we seem to be (or impending) part of the Trans-Pacific Partnership. Must find out what that really means.

Kind of Colin Furze meets Tom Stanton, with extra ambition and more hard sums

Enjoy

Last week I swallowed some plutonium.

It gave me atomic ache :oops:

If one creates a "habitable space" at the back of a residential garage - for a home office or exercise area for example, does anyone know what the Building Regs are WRT (fire) exits etc - if any? I've looked on the local authority website,...

I have been in two minds whether to post this, but my post in the other thread about sharing this got more likes than my YouTube videos so I decided to under the auspices of offering help and advice. This is long, and I apologise for that but this...
