I would just like to say

Re these right wing chumps all gathering together to "Make Europe Great Again."
God save us.

I'm thinking of starting a movement "Save Our Democracies".

Oops. just seen what it reads as an acronym.
Back to the drawing board.

Must start warming up soup and find a bag, big Thermos, boxes, cutlery, bowls, food, drugs etc for the afternoon's visit. for her obvs not me!!
Yessdi they offered her a sandwich.
I changed where they had written "wheat" on her allergy armband to "gluten" as it is in SOO many things.
I also explained to the nurse what happened when they once fed her some rice pudding in another private hospital. The chef swore blind there was no gluten in it.
It resulted in projectile vomiting, which went over me and nursing staff, and also burst the stitches on her wound. Are people REALLY so dumb?
She needed two subsequent operations to put it all right.

It is NOT a lifestyle choice.

Rant over I'm off.
Have a lovely afternoon!

Good percent are manufactured by Synta a Chinese company celestron sky watcher meade Orion
Try avoid cheap retailers types as you spend on rubbish and get disappointed early.
For non motor type Az and EQ variety
130/900 150/760 short or longer Newtonian reflector basic
90-120 short or longer refractor
102 maksutov
6" or 8" Dobsonian
Normally reasonable price for starters like party and families.
Getting serious later on, motorised mounts for heavy payloads version.
150,200,250 and larger short or longer Newtonian reflector with parabolic mirror.
120,127,152 depends on what variety of achromatic semi to apoachromat refractor latter Uber expensive.
127,152,180 maksutov needs heavyweight mount
6,8,10,12,16,18" dobsonian are truss types that can be taken in a car
These are available generally and the specialist variety are the Uber expensive ones are more the dedicated people with no idea of bank details.
Astronomy Clubs are worth a shot for gaining local events with tips on best advice with telescope you buy.
Also Ed Ting is great for walking you through the myriad.
I currently have a 6" SCT on a EQ5 motorised mount whenever the weather is good for viewing

Does make you wonder why they don't have a proper leccy charger.

Often wonder the same, But.

Has much diesel does a bus use?
If you charge it/them with a generator running efficently, does it take less diesel than the buses use?
You can then show (during the day) to your customers you are "green" .

Our big town runs leccy buses in the city, they use the old tram wires, many old european cities do it to.

I am not against the elecy car but the bashing that "we are helping the enviroiment peeps" need to really think where/how that power is supplied.


We drive V8s (3ish) and are not ashamed, we have very little in the way of an electric bill (solar), its what works for us.

The power lines can't cope with all the buses plugged in at the same time, they'd melt
Buses take a lot more power than cars so they use diesel generators

Just go's to show the infrastructure can not cope, what are thay doing, nothing but thay won't to build more nuclear stations, used to fish of Bradwell but no one would eat the fish as a lot had deformations, no eyes, wrong and bent body, deformed mouths even caught some with two heads,so we stopped going.

Exactly my sentiments could not agree more! !!!

Afternoon folks.

Have to say its cold but bright. Solar fully charged but still ice on the pool cover.

Done nothing of note really.
But we do now have a very,very fat ****land in the paddock today as she was being picked on by the full size horses. Nieghbour asked if he could use the paddock/stable, We have done it for him before. He is the 1 that cuts and bails the paddock grass.
So in a month we will have a mini,mini shetland in the paddock.
