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...

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...

.......stop future payments.
Recover any monies owing.
Move on.

Every so often, my lad (33) and I venture on a US road trip. We have done East Coast, West Coast, New York, San Fran etc.

Looking at late May, early June, about a week to 10 days with a purpose.

Looked at Boston, Atlanta, New Orleans or Seattle,...

The idea is to post a long lost word, but the kicker is - it has to be a word that has personal meaning.

I’ll kick it off with “oxters”, a word I hadn’t heard for 3 decades until yesterday....my mother and grandmother used to complain about being...

Hi.

I won’t give you my full sob story but my local planning authority has declined our modest over the garage extension on grounds that it doesn’t fit in with neighbouring houses. I’ve suggested various compromises but they won’t budge. I...

Last night Amanda Henderson the Casualty actress got a question about a Swedish climate change activist wrong calling Greta Thunberg "Sharon". the clip has apparently "gone viral."

Today Greta Thunberg has renamed her Twitter...

I need to open "TCP port 8068" in my firewall to allow remote access to a device on my LAN. I think that I will also need to do a bit of port forwarding as well, but that'll be Step 2.

I have an o2 skinned Thomson TG585.v7 wi-fi modem...

Actor Derek Fowlds, known to millions for playing Bernard Woolley in Yes Minister, has died at the age of 82.

He also played sergeant-turned-publican Oscar Blaketon in ITV police drama Heartbeat for 18 years, and was "Mr Derek" on the...

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...

I might be pushing my luck with this one, but I'll ask anyway :wink:

I have followed various "tutorials" on YouTube, and have done the following ...

We have a few medicine experts here, how on earth did this happen, is it antibiotic resistance or is something else that's more insidious going on, maybe medical malpractice?

Given the recent case involving the British man who dies in an RTC and caused (it is said) by the wife of a US citizen who had diplomatic immunity, I'm surprised no-one has mentioned this.

It's looking unlikely, despite the PM discussing this with...

Apparently so from this paper.

Admittedly it's quite old but I was surprised by the numbers of injuries reported

All parachute injuries from two local parachute centres over a 5-year period were analysed. Of 174 patients with injuries of varying...

On TV this morning, the Duchess of Rutland said that if McDonald's sorted their litter problem and sold pheasant from her estate, she might review her objections to them opening in Rutland. The only English county where their cuisine is not on offer.

The bit I can't work out is what Qassim Soleimani was doing in Iraq along with his rabble rousers. Have Iran / Iraq buddied up and nobody noticed?

The '67 Mustang from that iconic movie has just been sold at auction for a cool $3.4 million :shock: the owners said they only had a two-car garage, and it had to go.

I guess now they can afford that bigger space :wink:

There was a bit (actually a lot) of a thread creep in the heli pilot fined thread and the discussion moved to spaniels. It would seem that a number of us have one (or perhaps more) of these adorable doggies.

Here's mine. Rex is a 16 month old...

The US is very keen for us not to buy Huawei kit for the 5G infrastructure.

Who makes the other options?

Anyone on here got much experience with “the micro/precision” end of CNC here?

I have a 3D printer/engraver arriving around Easter time (SnapMaker2 or whatever it’s called), but that’s not a “real” machine that can turn out small brass/stainless...

This Subaru driver was driving at 70mph.... The biker survived, but it could all have been so different.

The driver was jailed for 16 months. The rider has life changing injuries.

Sorry for being so dim, but how do I send a Private Message to another user?

I have an account and am logged in.

Thanks

Last week I swallowed some plutonium.

It gave me atomic ache :oops:

I know a few on here like their 70s music.

I’m genuinely saddened to hear that Neil Peart has passed away, aged only 67.

My mates and I listened to Rush a lot. They might not have had the massive popular appeal of Deep Purple or Led Zeppelin...

I don’t mean “I wish one day my basement will be rid of other peoples carp”, but more the little films that play in your head at night, when you’re asleep.

I know we are all different, some of us have zero recall of dreams, others are at the other...

OK here I am again showing a lack of knowledge; this time about paying for fuel and landing fees for my a/c through my business.

Its taken 3 years but my little consultancy isn't as little as it was to start with so cash flow is good. Also, I'm...

Happy with the HP mfp m281fdw but the introductory cartridges are about to run out so time to cough up.

A direct new replacement of the printer - including introductory cartridges about £250

Original HP approx £425

Team

On my mobile (iPhone) I can put a short cut to a webpage so it looks like an app.

When I first do that I get a nice looking picture of that website as the app depiction but once it is on there and I have opened it once it just looks like a...

if you fancy something a bit different, this ongoing series is a bit bonkers

Ian

Welcome to the RAF's newest recruit, Iron Maiden vocalist Brucie boy is to be made an honourable Group Captain, maybe for services to noise :D

I'm predicting outrage and glee in equal measure, not just on this forum. Good on him (and them) say...

If anyone sees any gems, let us know...

We will have plenty of time with the weather as forecast !

BBC Christmas Carol is most excellent to start.

This is a good one on YouTube

Not at all a comment about other posts - I just found this video to be <<extremely>> chilled out.

It’s a guy disassembling an automatic watch, fixing stuff, putting it back together again, finding more issues, then....well - that would...

This story is just developing....

Ethical veganism is a "philosophical belief" and so is protected in law, an employment tribunal has ruled for the first time.

In the case, brought by vegan Jordi Casamitjana, the tribunal judge Robin...

I suppose there will be another couple of days hand-wringing about free access to deadly weapons in the USA. Ultimately the NRA will roll out some aged film star bearing his automatic rifle, someone else will quote the Bill of Rights and everyone...

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,...

OK I've got my usual 12 year old Glenfiddich. My father drank Glenmorangie, Laphroaig and McAlister, so I'm used to them.
But what else should I try next year? Or before?

Anyone else watching these programmes tonight? Have always been a bit of a fan of his writing since the talk show days when I was a kid but the pictures that the bloke creates with his words are just lovely. It makes me wonder why some people's...

A hundred(ish) years is a long time, and yet it isn't. Slavery went away, universal suffrage happened, empires fell while sanitation became a thing and killer disease and famine pretty much went away.

I predict that between now and 2120 we'll work...

Excellent levels of awareness of a global issue, but shocking levels of local prioritisation since the UK is 1% of global emissions.

IIRC China has an embassy in London, but of course China is the one nation that tried to tackle the actual cause...

To all.....

Trying to understand how to drive an Ad Blocker - in this instance Pi-Hole running on a Raspberry Pi. At this stage I only want to block adverts on a single laptop rather than on my whole LAN, just in case it goes wrong - but will look to deploying...

Dear Norfolk chums,

I'm spending a few days with the old man (lives just outside Norwich) and would like to take him to sit and look at the sea. He’s too old and infirm to actually walk anywhere so I'm looking for a beach/coast that you can drive...

I know we don’t do politics, but this is about the mechanics of an election and subsequent count of votes....

From reading the news item I’m trying to work out what actually happened. There’s no mention of offences being committed so it seems to be...

A disturbing trend in the US now is that some states are charging extra taxes on EVs and Hybrids to compensate for loss of revenue from fuel sales.

There are now 21 (!) states who penalise EV and/or Hybrid drivers.

I found this to be astonishing.

…to provide buyers with an acceptable after sales service through a main dealer network?

If there is an obligation, is failing to do so a breach of the purchase contract?

Both huge talents and in different ways they both helped me to understand the world.

It seems like the names, and addresses (work and home) were inadvertently published on the web for the New Year honours list recipients.

New Year Honours: 1,000 addresses published in error

I assume that the ICO will be looking into this...

I do the newsletter for the flying club. Currently it's a pdf that is put on the website and the link emailed to members. A (very) small number of members have copies printed and posted.

I'd like to move to proper online newsletter and wondering...
