It's like an advert for an aftershave named after something businessy like 'Boss' or 'Quorum' or 'Agenda' or 'Meeting' or 'Action Point' or 'Whose turn to put the coffee on'. They're always fiddling with cufflinks. The other one is the 'frowny faced foldy armed' people supposed to represent tough business persons. Though these days they seem to do a bit more smiling than in days of yore 15 years ago.

Endjinneer posted:If you want to go wander into the lovely lovely mountains, continental walking trails are for the most part really well marked with signs and splotches of paint on rocks or trees along the way. There are often routes that will take you to a mountain hut or refreshment shack. Be a bit cautious with the route times marked on signs. Swiss maps are all available through a free smartphone app. In Switzerland at least, you should be aware that the trail markings are red = hiking trail, blue = alpine mountaineering trail. Blue is harder than you want to do, for example, on your own in running gear  A couple of amazing huts are the Cabane de Moiry or the Tracuit. If you come to either after the apocalypse let me know and I'll buy you a beer. (*as I found on the Col de La Chaux. Mostly fine except a very unstable scree field)

I guess if you don't want to poo poo up unspoiled scenery with hotels that's what happens. Oh really? That’s surprising, we found it very cheap although we were just a couple booking double rooms. Whereabouts was you looking at staying?

Any of you muscle-bound athletes know where and how to buy a chin-up bar in the UK? A bit of googling gives me a good two million different lovely pieces of poo poo that suck. What I'm after is basically this: i.e. just screw that thing on, permanently, rather than mess around with whatever too-cheaply-produced gimmick everyone's trying to sell

Is it wrong that I actually feel some hope after watching Keir at PMQs? He's not too bad. I mean, he should be far more vociferous in saying just how staggeringly poo poo and catastrophic the government's response to the pandemic has been, but hey ho.

Every time the NHS comes up he's going to go "BAAAAAAAH MY CORONA" and then say something in broken Latin about a half remembered Greek tragedy.

Hi thread, my in laws have decided they are going for covid testing tomorrow despite feeling well 'because it tells you if you've already had it' struggling to find definitive wording disproving this, am I right in saying they're wrong and it's just for people who may have it right now?

https://www.amazon.co.uk/GM-Door-Gym-Black-Large/dp/B082F9BQMF This specific one is currently OOS, but you get the idea. Cost a tenner, had it for seven years, zero faff, and my otherwise flimsy looking doorframe has supported me from 220lbs doing weighted pullups down to my current svelte and sexy 185lbs

Oodles posted:I’m always wary of chin-up bars that go over door frames. I don’t think my woodwork can support my goony mass. Something like that will be fine as long as you install it correctly - the bar itself should stop the frame from flexing inwards, although if it's only an internal plasterboard wall that might be an issue. Jaete - if you've got a solid ceiling (or a well-installed suspended/joisted one and a stud finder) a suspension trainer would let you do chinups and a much wider range of exercise, might be worth looking into.

What I'm after is basically this: I have this one and it's great. Not fixed, but very solidly built and it spreads the load across the entire door frame really well so it never feels like there's a risk of breaking your door. Though it was £40 when I bought it last year so they're clearly not averse to some pandemic profiteering.

You're correct, no antibody tests have been approved by PHE. However a more persuasive argument might be to show them what the current antigen test looks like: https://twitter.com/RexChapman/status/1254943961476739072 and that they'll almost certainly have to do it themselves.

Tell them there's no proof that having it once means that you build up an immunity and plenty of people have already had it twice. Remind them that the Covid tests are massively under stocked and should be reserved for frontline staff. Then just stress that they should be acting like they already have it and keep up social distancing and hand washing.

What I'm after is basically this: I've had a couple of different ones - the ones that hang on door frames are okay but it depends if you have enough space around the doorframe itself, if you trust the way your house is built (I did one once that immediately cracked above the frame) and after a couple of years mine didn't feel too solid in the middle. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Gymcor-Ltd...88163357&sr=8-9 Something like this worked best for me. The bar I had was adjustable and fitted between the walls on 2 mounts with 3 screws each in. And as well as doing pull-ups you can hang clothes or halloween decoration on it.
