From my experience it is often a slightly loose baffle in the expansion box though a small child may have added a stone or two. It could even have been a weird squirrel choosing a decidedly odd store larder. I am sure others may come in with other ideas, it can be an annoyance and may get better with time if some build up of material damps it down, sadly it may just as easily get worse or likely stay the same.
How many miles has it done?
Maggie Oldfield
No I think that was Mike Oldfield she did work with Mike but supplied vocals to some of his work and was really Maggie Reilly.
They are all good suggestions but another that does not yet appear on the list is depression; it can closely mimic the sorts of symptoms you report. It can be very insidious as it creeps up and takes over. However, when symptoms are really causing you concern or grief it could be time to get a proper medical check up as there are too many possible issues that can affect one’s ability to function. Coming off a high when you bust a gut to get something working and enter a lull period of you life can have several possible causes and not all of them are a simple reaction to the work load change. Another possible problem at this time of year is SAD, long night and dismal days are not an invitation to be happy active and carefree.
Above all take it seriously and do not neglect the feelings, they can hide real issues.
I thought that most machines could already read the state of their owner’s minds.
Having a bad day/week/month whatever? So the kettle will go bang and not boil the water. The car will not want to run and the garage will play whack a mole trying to find the cause. The despicable remote controls will refuse to operate anything unless you are stood so close you can press buttons on the darned device and so on.
So do not tell me they do not already have mind reader capabilities.
It will be interesting to see which way it goes. I’d like them to have saftey standards, and let the engineering run wild, but share the money out in a fair , not fairer , fashion .ATM it’s so set up to screw the small teams it’s a joke. With Eddie gone, at leastwice we will see change. Tbh I didn’t evenknow he had gone.
On that, I suspect we might all agree.
I recognise this is a personal subject but to me it ranks a bit like this. Having just bought a new car. I do not expect to drive down the road and have constant pop ups appearing suggesting that I drop into get a big mac, or have my shoes re-soled or go into some other emporium, or worse still find the journey is actually interrupted by being forced off the road to listen to a ‘message’.
In my mind prepay should mean just that, the item is prepaid for, but each to their own. Whether Murdock has added something or degraded the underlying fabric is a different story and I sit on the side. I feel that the saying money corrupts and that absolute money corrupts absolutely appears to be correct. Football is part of the finance industry and big business with a tiny link to entertainment.
But this is a personal feeling though one with which many referees now appear to side.
Time will tell and I will not lose any sleep over the matter, nor will I ever wish to do business with Murdock vision.
One word answer ‘Fraud’.
I am not saying you or anyone else commits fraud, but a large number of frauds are being committed via ‘customer not present’ card transactions. Shops and other traders must balance lost orders through fraud prevention against lost good through fraud. Assuming a (high) mark up of 10% profit per order, one fraud costs about the profit from 9~10 safe orders. So they do the maths and in this case it worked against your order, I doubt that they were upset as they likely thought that your cancelled order meant that you were doubtful of passing the fraud tests, that is assuming anyone saw the cancellation.
I’m not a sky subscriber. But Richard it’s not for you to Decide it one person’s £40 sports package is a rip off for them or not. If they feel they get adequate benifites they they are not ripped off. In my younger days, I’d watch about 10 football games a week, across all leagues , so £40 is a bargain . Now I’d likely watch 4 a month. But years back when I did have sky I always thought the argument, ”i pay a subsribtion therefore there shouldt be adds childish ” as if there wasn’t adds your subs would me alot more. And and with no subs you would have a USstyle 6.5minute add schedule. One thing that that would annoy me if I was a sky subscriber and not a sports subscriber, is the amount you pay towards sky sports. Every sky account holder pays about £5 per month in to the premier league kitty. That would annoy me if I was a sky subscriber alot. Now if you primarily had sky just to watch sports you don’t mind the adds as sport lends itself to adverts, given it has naterial breaks built in. Now this is where itv and C4 EF it up, as they don’t use the natural breaks sports have and just stick to the 15m break scedual, which put adds over the sport coverage ( excluding football), sky don’t do that. Even in cricket they wait to between overs and squeez in shorter ad breaks. I’ve said it before i, I hate sky co for many things, but their coverage of sport is second to non.
I am sorry it is up to me to make a choice as to how I regard such as Murdock vision and its costs.
To clarify I do regard adding adverts to subscription paid service is adding insult to injury. Certainly £40 per month is something that I would never consider a sensible expense for anything less than an essential. Still if that is a price that someone is ready to pay that is their affair. I hate Murdock vision and have grave doubts about its corrosive effect on everything that it touches. Sure they offer some, (not me) a glitzy front, but what are they doing to the underlying product? Even if the ‘sports’ package was free I would not take it and as for having to pay a premium on some other ‘service’ to cross subsidise its lavish spending? That is nothing I would consider. Murdock vision is well hated for its packaging of what is popular into different bundles so you have to buy several bundles stuffed with tat in order to get a few items the subscriber wants. It is a marketing machine driven only by Murdock greed.
You have clearly set out how they have driven all competition away from their patch. By what I consider shafting, they have more money to fling at anything they want to target and I have grave doubts about the effects of this behaviour. As long as they are largely restricted to matters that do not affect me perhaps I should have no concerns. However, I do have concerns. I am concerned that once they have amassed enough money they will feel they can do anything to anyone, they are not about choice they are all about becoming the only money making option. Just look at their bundling options and how they mix dross and minority options with something expensive and to hell with the mug who wants just the minority option.
As long as they stick to profiting from sports I should have nothing to worry about – I notice that the BBC still has several (unwatched by me) sports cluttering up its schedules so Murdock vision still has some growth space left.
ITV does make a credible fist of BTCC with tea, coffee or bathroom breaks, oops sorry I meant adverts largely shoved into gaps in the action, thank heaven for the PVR to skip them. However, I can take that or leave it now and if rights ownership changed to a subscription I would not move a muscle, but just let it go.
Sky sports f1 has less adverse than itv ever had, and less than channel 4 does today. BBC killed f1 In Britain , taking it off itv, f1 needs to shoulder some of that responsibly. But it tools the Beebs money out of greed. The beeb couldn’t afford it and sky bailed them out. And as much as I don’t like sky, f1 coverage has never been better in this country. Sky do sports very well, they spend alot of money and do it right. Though I would like it back on free TV, I have not issues with how sky has run its coverage. BBC’s coverage was terrible. Itv and c4 have adds in the race. Sky have a great team, and no adds to miss and ruin potential major points in a race. This is not something I’ve not said before, sky co deserve alot of stick sometimes, but they do sport well.
Well I never, Sky rip you off for a subscription and then subjects you to adverts to add insult to injury, wow.
Still that is one problem I will never face. No one here has even a remote interest in sport and if Murdock vision is the best source well it will remain for others to enjoy.
Yes, Murdock vision spend a lot in order to keep others out, but mutterings suggest that, e.g. football is not all sweetness and light in the UK and as for FIFA I guess the mafia must be jealous of their successes.
F1 has been losing entertainment value for some time and yes Bernie might well have really goofed up several times. It will be of passing interest to see if someone else can unravel the errors and bring some interest back, but it will be for others to judge.
Enjoy.
One of the grips is that the audiences have been falling, not so surprising when more and more events are going to subscription outfits like Murdock vision.I don’t bother now that it is no longer available for easy viewing, why bother?
As for the constant stream of adverts on many so called services, if it really is something of interest use the PVR and jump the adverts otherwise, there are other things to watch. Some adverts are so stupid, obnoxious or pointless that they somehow trigger the channel change button. I assume that stupid advert with blokes in shorts acting like defectives must be advertising women’s intimate products. Since I am not a customer and because it could be more tasteful that initiates channel change. Sometimes the off button.
Not in anyway to conflict with what Steve said I was disappointed with gabapentin which I did not find effective. Mind you I also found tramadol to be ineffective, however this is likely down to the differences between people’s reactions. I currently take naproxen, I was previously on Diclofenic, though I have doubts about how useful the Naproxen is and may stop it for a while to see if anything changes. The main effect of many pain killers was the effect on my stomach, whatever went in developed a desire to stay there for ever more, so I stopped taking them. Since they had not controlled pain it was no loss.
As for crutches, I assume that you referred to the sort that have a hand bar and a wrap around piece rather than the under the shoulder pad which was used in the past. I had some of those years ago and they were grim. I found the tin can on the arm ones were good but I found that the exact adjustment does depend on the way that I walked at any time. I could go up or down a notch and found that one suited slower dawdling while the other was more suited to more aggressive speedy movement. Mind you, at one point I was warned that I would be banned from both the wheelchair and crutches if I did not moderate my speeds.
Speed this weather with icy paths is NOT a good idea. Once mastered the crutches can greatly improve comfort, I do not currently need/use them but I have a pair kept handy
A note about my above comments on drugs; people’s reaction to drugs and families of drugs is greatly affected by their own genetic make up. As this approaches touchy territory and come close to eugenics it is rarely talked about in medical circles with sometimes disastrous effects. While one person may be greatly impacted by a dose of one thing, someone else will feel no impact at all. I suspect this is why some people get high on tramadol while others wonder what it is supposed to do.
Some sedatives do NOT have the required effect on members of my family, one 2~3 year old daughter acted as though she was fighting drunk on one knock out drop, and I have been known to have my moments with another, though I was ‘happy drunk’ not fighting drunk. One antibiotic crippled the other daughter until it was realised what caused her problems – a previous generation relation is now thought to have had a variant of the issue it had triggered. It can be useful to know what others in the family tree have suffered from as it may pin down what current members experience.
Pleasure can be its own pain control drug factory, if you enjoy an activity it can greatly reduce the pain you feel and activity is thought/said to be the key to controlling the pain and progress of arthritis. My wife was told ten or 15 years back she was on the cusp of needing replacement knee joints but to keep active to delay any problems, so far it has worked, though other issues now intrude.
One of my daughter’s friends was there a little while back and he survived the experience well, in fact better than well. His home situation had been pretty grim and he overcame a range of other personal issues. He has built a better life since he graduated. So it may not be the top flight, or it might be a lot better than it has been painted, but it does have other aspects in its favour.
On a personal note, I am sorry that your daughter has had health issues I have been through that with one who had similar timing issues with an over lay of personal issues which lost her several years. Since graduating and after a bit of a job struggle she works at Addenbrooks Hospital and is expecting her second child in the spring – not that you will be anticipating that second part any time soon!
You have nothing to lose and everything to gain by looking.
Good luck to you and your family.
“Yes it is writ large, here if nowhere else. Tangerine man and the gas lighters and the mad Tzar have a love of news manipulation in common.” ALL politicians or wanna-be politicians do this in one form or another – take the case of the UK accidentally launching a Trident missile aimed at the US and ‘forgetting’ to give parliament all the data when they were reaching a decisions on Trident’s future. The master dissembler and his spin doctors had press and news manipulation down to an art-form and all done through dissembling, lies and half truths. The Brexit campaign had it all writ large, and Trump learned a lot from it.
Is there a connection? A test firing did not go to plan, not the first time a rocket malfunctioned, is that not what testing is about?
I was wanting to find the faults when I did factory tests. You expect things to fail, well we did; sadly we had a lot more test failures, (though not of rockets) than anyone expected but far fewer in service problems, which was what we did want.
Trumps PR gaslighters would have likely hailed it a tremendous success and that is the difference.
Anyone found the missing/invisible mall inauguration welcomers yet? I hope their families are not missing them, they might fear they were buried in an avalanche in Italy and panic.
Why is his PR so aggressively paranoid? It was what it was so they should move on and try to get something right if they can.
I guess you are referring to the mad idea of us being in was better than being out when you refer to the referendum lies and half truths, the only lie was that the EU leopard would ever change its spots for the better, it wont, it will only ever get worse as it has always done.
I think you mean can he take them out of bankruptcy.
No Steve, in this case I understand he shut down and bankrupted several of his companies, he came out fine, the staff did not; surprisingly they were happy to talk and not be happy with the tangerine man.
WOW………..it just shows how divisive Trump is that he’s even got us fighting among ourselves all the way over here..
Yes it is writ large, here if nowhere else. Tangerine man and the gas lighters and the mad Tzar have a love of news manipulation in common. Frankly I do not care about the numbers, from my own personal observation I watched and heard none of the tangerine man’s crap so extrapolating that figure no one else did either. Oh dear it is rather easy to come up with false news if you take a few false points and draw a wrong conclusion by ignoring relevance.
Like him, (some do) or loath him (some do) it will be interesting to see if he can bankrupt the USA and put people out of work as he did with some of his own companies.
Still I doubt that his Trump Towers will fall, I am told they were built with quality Chinese steel, rolled by Chinese labour, doing his bit for America? Or was it all another false trail.
The reader in this case, as you never said , you said you have said your dislike of hillery so doesn’t need repeating, which is accept with out argument . you said, dislike for female leaders, which is totally different. So in that case, I’d say you are correct, you need to be more clear im your meaning when you write Richard. But in reality , you have written to totally diffent things. Accuse me of some type of perdudice against women leaders, then back track and say , well you have personal grip with hillery. Btw it’s not personal, oven very met her, and she has done nothing to me or anyone I know. It’s just plains to see, the women is a monster. In case you misinterpret that, if she was a man I’d say the same. Like I said, stop with the personal attacks on people when you don’t agree with them. It’s very disrespectful. If you disagree with points being made by me, by all means pick them apart, it’s how we as humans move forward. Nothing new is learn by calling people names. The only out come is the name calling will escalate.
Sorry, but I do not accept that I personally attacked you, rather my aim was at those who work to support Trump by constantly lying and distorting, they are the gaslighters, Your visceral hate for Hillary is so dominant in much of what you wrote that it shades everything else. How much of the story colouring came from Trump’s henchmen?
I can only hope that tangerine man is not as bad as many expect him to be but his starting off lie about 1.5 million suggests that he doe snot have any sort of grip on reality. No wonder he is against abortion, he will need to replace those killed off by Trump-Neglect and he will need new bodies to fill the prisons.
I did not ‘attack you‘ I thought that you were a victim of gaslighting not a cause, but here is a definition of gaslighting; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaslighting
Note I said subject to gaslighting not causing gaslighting, i.e. a victim of the behaviour.
You came across as very hostile to Hilary with an edginess that suggests something very personal, if this was not your intention it was not clear to me, should the writer or the reader be responsible for misunderstandings?
Steve, I think you have been subject to gaslighting.
Of course Trumps brilliant workers might not have caught up with digital cameras and might still think that they need to have the film developed and will have their images of mega crowds sometime soon.
Then of course all those walker bypassed the transit system and not bought tickets and so on and so forth.
Of course his ego polishers got one thing right that is the use of plastic sheeting to protect the grass is a recent thing, however it started in 2013
Your dislike of female leaders and would be leaders is well established so does not need repetition -t came from the gaslighter in chief anyway.
If Trump is so brilliant why does he need gaslighters and ego polishers to make him look better, his brilliant ways will win over everyone, or will they?
I guess his brilliance contributed to his bankruptcies which brilliantly avoided any payouts USA to his workers, but a profit for him.
Perhaps in the the real world his helpers are not quite so confident so feel he needs ever little bit of help they can give him?
You will actualy find asian, indian traditional food as you put it or as I put it home cooking is not hot. They simply dont like it hot, just spicy and tasty with fresh ingredients. Its us english that have made them hot and maybe americans to. Being from bradford, and friends with a variety of cultures I get lots of home cooked freebies and curry cooking tips. None the less, my fave will always be keema and ive got it down to a fine art ?
A neighbouring family had a death recently and as part of the final ceremony they gave food to the neighbours. I am not a curry liker in fact never eat the dish, but the food they had prepared was mildly flavoured and tasted of its components not of something added to bring fire to the dishes. It was an eye opener for me.
“… anyone with a pair of eyes can see the truth.” Unfortunately that is not necessarily true in this day and age. Even putting aside Photoshop and far more sophisticated video/photo manipulation programs, there are simple ways of putting up two photos to make the point you raise. Simply having the Trump shot before everyone was there and the Obama shot at the oath taking would be a very easy manipulation to perform. I don’t think the Beeb had a live camera on the Monument during the oath taking period, but if they did, that would be very difficult for anyone to dispute.
While that is true and I guess that the statistics from the transit system only reflect that more people prefer to walk than use the transit system. However, there does come a point where you might just start to wonder. Even if it just at the play ground chanting nature of things.
I wonder how Trump Neglect will impact the workers of America once that really starts to bite.
Or will we even hear?
