I always tell the doc the troof when it comes to units. I don't think he likes it. I think they ALL believe you are understating it.
We have to leave ours with TLScontact in Lunnen every year while the frogs do the visas. I agree, tis terrible to have to hand them over for 10 days or so.Mine is due this year (Dec) but now seems like a good time to do it
I gave up the second 1 last year to keep the longest 1.
M did hers a few years ago. Left on the first flight out to London, appointment at the office, lunch with her friend and back on the last flight arrived lunchtime next day.
There are other ways like sending itand getting it back 1 week ish later. Not for us as we always like to keep hands on our passport

Not quite as much as that.
Hi Stan,As you can all tell from the (even more) erratic nature of my posts, things have gone to heck in a handcart over here.
Not only I W sofa/bed/wheelchair bound but I have got the worst back I've had in years.
Can't sit, stand, lie downor roll over comfortably and the worst pain comes when changing from on position to another. But as I am the only semi-functioning member of the crew I has to push on through and get stuff done.
4 hour shopping trip pushing a heavy supermarket trolley around, and yes even driving my usually comfortable Disco the odd 20 miles, killed me yesterday. And then I had to put it all away, bending down lifting etc.
Will ring the chiro burd today crossing fingas she ain't on oliday as she is the only one around.
I tried doing exercises, it made my back a bit better but then hurt my stomach muscles. Now I can't even do one lying in bed.
Paracetamol and Ibuprofen don't touch it.
Moan over!
At least the sun is shining. as it did yessdi, the weather forecst for our particular valley is for the birds!
Have agood fridi and weekend folks!!!
@DanClarke Those flat Sturmey-Archer drive dogs no good then?
From the nhs web site:Not quite as much as that.
But still shook both of us as we thought a bot was about 6, i.e. one per glass.Be a savvy drinker
Have a few alcohol-free days a week. Use small glasses to encourage you to drink slower. Swap from pints to bottles to reduce your intake. Learn more.www.bhf.org.uk
I think they must keep changing what a unit is.
So we drink a minimum of 42 units each a week and a lot more like 50.
Ah well, a short life but a happy one!!! (She's 76 and I'm 68, we'll see!)
(And both our chloresterols, blood pressures and liver functions have been tested recently and they are OK. Well, just!, In my case!)
www.nhs.uk
Redone the maths and actually it is closer to 45 units a week but still a heck of a lot more than the 14 recommended.From the nhs web site:
"...It's recommended to drink no more than 14 units of alcohol a week, spread across 3 days or more. That's around 6 medium (175ml) glasses of wine, or 6 pints of 4% beer.
There's no completely safe level of drinking, but sticking within these guidelines lowers your risk of harming your health. Try using Alcohol Change UK's unit calculator to work out how many units you drink and watch our video guide to alcohol units..."

Yer may be the lucky one. Not everyone will suffer. 50 units is a lot. Does yer feel drunk having that much or is yer used to that amount of drink?

Both my favourites but I don't have a cholesterol problem and I'm not over weight and just had 2 beers but I'm very active if you don't burn it up you will have a problem

I got the sack from the church there was never any wine for the Holy communion but lots of empty bottlesRedone the maths and actually it is closer to 45 units a week but still a heck of a lot more than the 14 recommended.
I daresay we are over the top. No we don't feel drunk on that amount. When I was a younger man I used to regularly get drunk, at one stage almost every night, with a group of mates, at least 4 pints a night or more, many more on a weekend and deffo that was more alcohol. According to this.
But that "only" lasted a couple of years and dropped off like mad if I had a girlfriend, which luckily was a lot of the time. As a student in London I couldn't afford to drink until my last year but when in Lille we all got pretty regularly bevvied up as we were earning so much money! When doing my year in Exeter I'd get pretty bevvied two or three nights a week.Alcohol units
Find out what a unit of alcohol is and how it's calculated, or use a unit calculator.
During first marriage we were skint a lot of the time and drank very little, then between wives I went through a phase similar to when I was a young man. During second marriage we were pretty abstemious until we retired and didn't have to drive every day.
So maybe I haven't been a life-long drinker. Who can tell?
Still, not feeling drunk, no hangovers, etc. No DTs, no cravings, don't touch vodka.

@Stanleysteamer Here's what I am trying to do that needed a drive dog.
Sturmey archer drum-brake hubs are typically passive rolling hubs with pars of 28 x 12 x 8 mm roller bearings; a 12mm axle, a backplate with brake shoes and obviously the hub and the bearings and a wheel.
I want to convert a pair of these hubs into "driven hubs" by making the axle rotate and drive the hub.
To do this I need to lock a driving element to the axle and have something transmit the rotation to the hub itself.
First I tried a single arm arrangement, but it was clearly going to be no good.
View attachment 289703
So I decided to adopt a different approach where a plate with 5 drive pins will engage with 5 small holes drilled into the alloy spokes of the hub's shell. On the RH side the plate and cap-nut have LH threads, on the Left they will have RH threads (for obvious reasons).

Here is the thing on the end of an axle.
I hope this helps explain what crazy thing I am trying to do.
