Eric Carmen RIP
at 06:38 12 Mar 2024

The song that shocked my grandmother.
The lyrics that left this 15 year salivating at the prospect.
Morosly listening to 'all by myself' as a 19 year old stationed in Keflavik Iceland, during the long dark winter of 75/76.
God bless you and RIP Eric Carmen*

Superbowl!
at 18:49 11 Feb 2024

Something to whet your appetite for the superbowl tonight. My hometown kick ass Steelers in their first superbowl before the hype went into overdrive.
Enjoy the 15 minutes of action sandwiched between commercials.
I'm afraid that I've lost interest in all the glitz of the spectacle.
Go chiefs, I guess.

A new time wasting trick
at 14:45 10 Dec 2023

Well at least new to me, maybe it's been happening for a while and I just never noticed.
It seems to be since they have placed spare balls on those tee things. when the visiting team get a throw in and pick up a ball off the tee and try to keep the momentum going by taking a quick throw, one of our ball boys/girls throws a ball out to the player, which means it rolls onto the pitch and the referee stops play, thus slowing things down and allowing us to get back into position. Has this been 'a thing' for a while?

Season defining
at 15:30 22 Nov 2023

From next Saturday we have 10 games in 37 days.
How many points will we pick up?
Who will be on the pysio's tables?
Who will find form? who will loose form?
Who will surprise us?
Will the excellent support continue?
What will the table look like?
So many questions, so many possibilities.
I haven't felt this anxious, since I contemplated who shot J. R.

Thin Lizzy
at 14:02 16 Nov 2023

A story I read a couple weeks ago led me to Phil Lynott which of course was a precursor to listen to the music of Thin lizzy. They were never on my radar in the 70's and 80's and only heard thier 'popular' stuff occasionally on the radio when I arrived in the UK.
Just curious to hear what everyone thought of them, were they taken seriously? Were they good live? I noticed that most of thier songs on YouTube are about 2 to 2.5 mins long which sort of implies they were just a commercial group interested in radio play.
I'd be interested to see what everyone thought of them. I quite like them and think that Mr. Lynott had a great unique voice.
I know they've popped up in various threads before.

Plumbing advice needed. Non QPR
at 10:15 15 Sep 2023

I probably should know this, but not sure, I'm getting conflicting advice. Our water consumption has doubled over the last 6 months, so checked out the meter and found that it is continuing to spin, very slightly, even when I turn off the stopcock into the house. This stopcock is located about 20 mètres from the meter so obviously a run of pipe under the house.
Now the conflicting advice I'm getting is that when I shut the valve for the incoming water on the water company's side of the meter, it stops spinning. Some friends tell me that's an indication of the problem being with the water company's pipes, but I'm not sure about that. Just FYI I live in France. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Cheers.

TV that hasn't aged well
at 11:50 10 Sep 2023

To help pass the time until we are back in action next weekend, I propose a thread of TV stuff that we loved but really is just embarrassing now. I'll kick off with the following small selection.

MASH - I think it is still watchable, with some good story lines.
The wonder years - Still makes me guffaw, mainly because it is the era that I grew up in.
Cheers and Taxi - loved them both but my god they haven't aged well and I find them generally very embarrassing and unfunny now.
Frasier - excellent then, excellent now, could watch over and over.
Yes Minister - same as Fraisier.

And here are some series that I loved but should be too embarrassed to admit to it. The golden girls, The love boat, TJ Hooker, Fantasy island and the eternally nauseating Happy days.

Today's showing
at 17:28 26 Aug 2023

With the heart, commitment and character shown today against the team that will more likely run away with the league, against 12 men I would say that we are not going to be relegated. Just like that, yep I said it, may not finish above 16th but we will be fine.

Non QPR- bike trainer stand
at 11:29 30 Sep 2022

Need to tap into the immense font of knowledge here please. I am looking to buy a stationary bike training stand, you know the kind you connect your back wheel onto. Looking on Amazon, because no choice locally. A bit confused, most seem to say that they are not compatible with the 'through axle bolt' wheel connector. But in the photo they seem to include exactly that. If anyone has experience with these would greatly appreciate any advice. As stated I have the through axle bolt on my back tyre. Looking to spend around the 60 squid mark. Thanks for any help.

Boiler advice needed!! (non-QPR)
at 09:16 22 Feb 2016

As this forum is a font of knowledge, I'm hoping that someone can give me some advice on a problem I've been having with my boiler.

I had a condensing boiler installed about 18 months ago, unfortunately the guy that installed it connected the pipes incorrectly, he connected the output pipes from the boiler to the return pipe from the radiators, needless to say the boiler ran for 24 hours a day and my first month gas bill was astronomical. He came back and fixed the connections and he (eventually) reimbursed me for the excess gas usage.
The problem now is that when the boiler fires up or when I turn on the hot water tap the boiler makes a whining noise, just for the first few seconds, not all the time but more often than not. My first thought was that there was air trapped in the radiators, but after bleeding them all (several times) I am sure this is not the case. I've tried to get the guy that installed the boiler to come out and have a look, but he's not interested and no one else can help me.
Is it possible that there is an air bubble trapped somewhere within the boiler and I need to drain the whole system?
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Cheers!
