• Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

    Blood pressure

    I'm on several b.p. meds. I'm a Type 2 diabetic and have had Chronic Kidney Disease, Stage 3a....so, I keep a wary eye on b.p., stats, meds and diet. From this, I have a healthy scepticism toward 'smart watch' diagnostics. Mine regularly misrepresents saturation and pressures - as compared to...

    I have no objection. The matter has been aired. Done.

    Terminology - Two countries, separated by a common language

    Your assertion stands. It is just that, an assertion. Employing for a workforce with a narrowly defined job description does, by definition, lead to a blinkered approach. You can see only the necessities(?) defined by the profession. As to your anecdote re one single Maths Grad with stupendously...

    Terminology - Two countries, separated by a common language

    Evidence please? You obviously have not paid attention to the everlasting debate on exam grades vs difficulty. It has only bern going on for five or more decades. If you are not careful, you will start to sound like Michael Gove; by far the most deleterious influence on modern U.K. education...

    You want to hear what a Northern Ireland accent can do to "mirror", "tower" and "towel"...."mirrr", "tourrr" and "toul". I have more.

    Merci beaucoup. As a practicing biologist, I have often been amused by colleagues, particularly younger ones, using the Franglais version, only to have it pointed out that papers and (good quality) textbooks have no "ee". The Net is - of course -littered with this, and other, what I will call...

    Flush Ceiling Ventilation Extractor.

    Get a humidistat-controlled one. Works when humidity is high, for as long as it is high. Try: "Envirovent". Had one now for 6 years, no problems, no mould, no high lecky bills.

    RIAT 2026

    Amazing isn't it. The actions of one individual makes living more costly and establishd recreational activities (providing the local economy) impossible, while he tips off his cronies to make billions. Allegedly.

    If anyone complains in the future about "Chiglish" instructions on a power tool, I'm going to recommend them to you for help Andy! On a wider note, it is reassuring and satisfying to see a debate on 'Henglish as hit is used' go almost full circle. I was a teacher for 37 years and precision, of...

    Help please with RJ45 - RJ11 cable problem

    Roger, we've had an auto humidistat in the shower cubicle/café de lavvy for 6 years now. It doesn't recycle the air (think of a condensation drain as an utter necessity; and also, a recycled bottom-burp just doesn't bear thinking about) but vents through a roof vent shaped like a slate. Fitted...
