Did you know of its existence before today? There's absolutely no point in password protecting something like train times, why would they password protect that?

This is what the staff see, thanks a very good friend I have it on my phone. Leaves out all the guesswork Having spent years commuting by train around the Midlands. These 2 things were very useful https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/ https://traksy.uk/live All from opensource information But that is one is a very useful addition.

il_serpente Posted December 24, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted December 24, 2021 Whenever I need lime juice, e.g., for a cocktail, I can just go out our back door and pick a lime. One of the things that would make me reluctant to move out of California when the wife and I retire. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve got this image in my head how it would be. It’s been a dream since I was a child . Hopefully one day I’m able to get out there . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you get a chance to get here some day, though I hope you don’t end up disappointed if you do. There are a lot of great things about this place to be sure, but we’ve definitely got our problems as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both of us from kids had a fascination with the place that still remains today. My wife has been twice, although only to the east coast . We was on about the so called American dream , and how it doesn’t exist for a lot of people because of all the problems over there , whether it be the political problems, weather, or whatever else which is causing havoc. No place like it though, I’d imagine . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mandy Lifeboats Posted December 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 24, 2021 7.00am Christmas Eve. I have just begun my last day at work for 2 weeks. I shall finish at 1.00pm, have a last minute wander around the shops and enjoy the Christmas atmosphere. It's a great feeling. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugeley Villa Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 I’ve always slept pretty well . Was tired last night after a busy day plus food and booze. Always like to get up early though. 6.30 latest I like to be up for. Was up at 5.45 today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 (edited) Anywhere between 3 and 5 for me. If I wake that's pretty much it. 5 is the most acceptable time. Anything after 5 is noteworthy in this house. Edited December 26, 2021 by Seat68 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually awake from 5-5.45 then get up once I’m proper awake. Even lay in bed later than 7 makes me depressed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 (edited) I rarely have a problem getting to sleep but I’ll never make it through the night without getting up for a pee. A bladder that weak at my age doesn’t bode well. Edited December 26, 2021 by Wainy316 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could probably hold it, but it’s routine now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 I’m alright for not needing a wazz in the night, unless I’ve had a couple of beers before bed. My wife is a nightmare for it, she’ll always go, often twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
