That is what I heard too. In fact one one forum I was on that was talking about ticks there was a very, very knowledgable poster who gave the full timeline of how a tick transfers the bug that causes lymes disease to you. IIRC that was from when the tick last had a feed through to how long after...

It does not have to be hypocrisy but lack of knowledge. I mean if you only know one company as a civillian sector company it is perhaps easy to not realise they have an additional defence sector revenue stream. I mean big players like GE, Siemens and the like have defence sector units. It is...

I can't say I changed careers so much as morphed it into something else over 2 plus decades. I went into an SME as a tech support engineer. Not an engineer in real terms just a dogbody who did techie stuff like lab and microscope work through eventually doing everything from designing products...

Can I just say to all of you who have given up the baccy, well done!! To WM who is in the early stages of giving up I say you are doing the right thing and have made the first step to a healthy outcome in life (potentially at least). I wish you all success in the world. BTW my dad was in his...

I used to get those plastic fork things in two or even three sizes. I Heard they were safer for removing ticks than tweezers. Since then we were without a set and bought a Lifesystems stainless steel, fine tipped tick tweezers. Not unlike the one I think was in the second link above. What is...

I hear of this so much on the news these days but I can just rock in to my Pharmacists and get medical care or advice. I can call 111 and get directed somewhere and oftern booked in ahead of getting there. Then again I can also get into see, i repeat that actually SEE, my GP in perhaps a day or...

Deleted a long reply to HG after going back and seeing Wayne's post. To remove the political I will summarise as simply saying Boycott, Divestment and Sanction is about picking your hypocrisy over what you deny and accept. Defence companies are not isolated from the rest of the economy but...

I did see them but IMHO of course they look ugly!! They look like they would be less sweaty though.

I think the point is that they are not doing that and even the biggest traders are only a fraction of the whole stock markets. Then again when the tariffs came in, so called Liberations Day, the stocks tanked a bit then after Trump put a delay on the tariffs they went straight back up to preetty...

I got the brimmed ones. The truck tyre, wire beading in the rim helps shape the brim well. It's a hot and sweaty hat though. Not surprising considering it's made of truck tarps. I also have their cap too. I've used that gardening in the rain and if I didn't sweat into it my head would be dry...

Late to this but since it was first open I've changed employers to a large organisation that's in the middle of its busiest ever period. It's booming across all business units for the first time ever. Order books into the second half of this century!! So if you're ever in such a company with...

There's a lot more gold under the river Thames than fort Knox ever held! From what I've been told London and UK is the world's preferred location for investment gold holdings. Having said that rare earth metal bullion is where the real money is. As two semi retired traders in it said, if you...

If it keeps you going and healthy it is balanced enough I guess. I get what you mean but you do not need more than your body needs. When you add a lot of something above what it needs then what is the point. Sure you are just making sure but really, are you? It goes back to the question, do you...

Can I just ask, why do you need a foodstuff high in K2? How much does someone need compared to how much they are likely to get from a so called balanced diet without high in K2 special diet add-ons? I only ask because many vitamins are only needed in typical amounts in a diet and once over...

Some people call cycle commuters and other cyclists who go out in dodgy weather wearing all black Lycra clobber ninjas. The way they just appear from nowhere to get under your wheels.. Sorry, I don't mean that being a cycle commuter myself. I just think all black and lights off in that dark...

A tracker is good for monitoring health more generally. My RHR overnight goes up a few beats a few days before my cold or bug hits. So a regular check on the weekly trend graph shows a jump so I know to hit the vit c and other things like taking it easy. Since doing that my colds and other...

I have set locations for key things I need in my day to day life. house keys, car keys, wallet, phone (although there are actually about two set places so if not in one it will be in the other), etc. It is my life survival technique and it really helps. I started to do it as a kid without...

Usually it's a boat under 100ft or under 500 tons. However all submarines are boats. A saying I've heard is any boat can go down once, but only a submarine can come back up! No idea why I thought that was appropriate here. Sorry Tengu.

Half fly a mile from you but half drain you dry to get the marmite blood.

Don't I know it!! :poop::poop::poop::poop: However I also got the squits on longer, faster paced walks too so it was an element of runners runs. I can';t recall what the correct term for it is, but there is such a thing as long distance runners giving themselves issues in that way.
