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 information, social plans, considered...

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...

... and who decides how many judges sit?

I was watching some of the live feed of the Supreme Court case earlier - is it a bad thing to say that I found the whole thing fascinating, so I hope this is allowed as as Lady hale, (President of the...

Not sure if we can discuss this without getting political, but I thought I'd give it a go as there is so much experience here that we could all learn something

There's a comment article in yesterday's Guardian

Anyone who has walked down a...

Is there an interest in a farming diary of me growing a crop?

Full photo dialogue, with monthly updates through to harvest?

Seem to be lots of reports linking deaths to vaping.

A few friends had switched from cigarettes to vapes. Most are ok but a couple ended up with cluster headaches and had to stop.

Think it’s a legitimate risk or just a path to higher vaping...

The thread on smart meter has reminded me about EPC requirements.

Those of us that have sold or rent property must have a certificate produced as part of the marketing information. In the rental sector it is now illegal to rent a property with...

This post reminded me there was a thread (I think from Colonel Panic) about setting up a camera to take pictures at a set interval.

Is setting up something like that easy - are there any reasonable priced 'off the shelf' solutions?

Thanks for any...

I thread for those who want to share their catalytic converter stories...

Shock horror, rollout period extended.

But, has anyone altered there energy usage as a result of having one?

I looked at the monitor thingy for a day or two and then disconnected and moved it out of the way.

Right, just to balance up the dog(s) thread , here's another for the household bosses!

First up, Pestle (and yes, I did have one called Mortar but she absconded!) - made it to 13

Is it a new type of bulb?

I’m frequently seeing blue in my peripheral rear view mirror vision and it’s these newer lights. I’m surprised they’re allowed.

Just following up on a small plaque I saw at a memorial near Pozieres this week I asked Alexa for a bit of help.

Looks impressive. No details (that I could find) re: launch date or required specs.

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

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...

Long story short, wife’s newest BFF is married to a jeweller.

He’s good fun. Likes shooting, fast things, winding his other half up etc - my kinda guy.

We had other friends over for an evening a couple of weeks back - the insignificant other is...

"The world's largest crane has arrived in the UK to begin work on the nuclear power station at Hinkley Point.

Standing at 656ft (250m) tall, the crane is now the tallest man-made structure in the west country.

A couple of miles south of Heathrow. I use those chaps as my alarm clock so slept in!

A man spent £30,000 of his savings on a failed legal battle "for justice" over a £100 speeding fine.

Right, since we don't have the thread that dare not speak its name to bicker about, let's explore forumites' idees fixes , prejudices, horror stories, and loyalties concerning the best off-roader.

Series LandRover ? Just need an adjustable spanner...

From you-know-which thread:

Ah, that paragon of modern democracy - The Lords.

I suspect they may splutter a bit and then let it go through. They know their cards are marked and won't survive for much longer anyway as an archaic Institution....

Could HMS Queen Elizabeth have a role to play in disaster relief in The Bahamas?

She’s en route to some more trials, but isn’t this the sort of thing she will excel in once she is equipped with a full set of helicopters?

According to MP's on the Public Accounts Committee HS2 Ltd, the company running the HS2 project, stands accused of "a shocking waste of taxpayers money", the comment has been made in relation to redundancy payments paid by HS2 when they...

So, I had a conversation last night with a friend who mentioned a live performance recording of lynyrd skynyrd Freebird. We didn’t listen to it, search for it, just talked about it.

Today FaceTwit has “suggested for me” to watch that performance on...

Some may be aware of a major outage on the Yahoo email system this morning, which also took out BT, Sky and Talk Talk amongst others.

It seems to be coming back but with a gap in the email from 0700 to around 1400. My knowledge of SMTP etc is...

Following on from a couple of posts about young uns wanting to save the planet, I do wonder if we will be remembered as the "plastic age" as a time period.

We had the stone age, bronze age, iron age, atomic age, jet age, space age, maybe...

Thanks to @PaulB for posting a pic of his dog on the neverendum thread which prompted me to post this .

Come on then share your dogs with the forum. Starting with mine, our 3rd dog (second rescue dog). A Lurcher. Main characteristic - sleeping....

I’ve never been overly impressed by 3D printing on its own, but I see the 3 in 1 Snap Maker 2 is on Kickstarter, and I’m quite impressed.

A lot of improvement from the first one - and I can genuinely find uses for the 3D carving as well as the...

After a pleasant evening somewhere in the Fatherland, I returned to the holiday bunker, opened a bottle of sekt, switched on TV, randomly chose ZDF-Info out of a long list as it seemed to have something vaguely aviation, and there, hiding behind the...

The cheers, shouts and effing and blinding from the Sunday league morning footballers on the rec just over our garden fence have started wafting through my study window.

I haven’t been to a pub for some time and when I had an hour to kill in a large UK city yesterday (setting up a new iPhone) I decided to use their WiFi to restore from a back-up.

I asked for a pint and was robbed of £5.60

Five pounds and...

Right, a few of us on here might have heard of some technocratic EU thingy going on just now, called something like "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland Exit". Might have got the name wrong..... :roll:

By chance, I came across this video of an elderly gentleman playing the piano.

So did the Youtube Channel owner. It's quite inspiring, as are some of the other videos on the same Channel.

Surprised, but not surprised at the same time. Maybe a bit of Brexit rationing and push bikes all round is in order.

I need to extend my wifi network further in to the back of the garage; I'm pretty heavily invested in Apple's wifi products, but they are no longer sold.

This 71 year old fella just got for two and a half years and for the life of me I can't see why. I'd wager that 90% of people in prisons are there for pointless Victorian style retribution, not discouragement of others or rehabilitation.

I ski with a bunch of mates and we have a group booking with a chalet company. The group leader just sent out the login address and credentials so that we can individually supply our passport details and make staged payments for the balance. The...

We’ve had an influx of large house spiders over the past few weeks. Finding about one a day in different parts of the house. Some are pretty blydi big.

Normally we might have one or two at the beginning of autumn over 3 or 4 weeks.

Anyone else?

Just saw on my news feed that Jessi Combs sadly lost her life yesterday in a land speed record attempt in a modified F-104-based vehicle. Jessi was not only a driver, but an engineer and TV personality.
