Looking for lush walking routes with epic views of Bath

Hi all

Where would I start post code / street name wise?

I envisage having to park on a hard shoulder.

Need some guidance for this amateur.

Thank you.

A very subtle and underrated comedy moment from series 5

Sorry for the clickbait title. Not the intention.

It’s the episode where Dilwyn is testing the cows for TB. Specifically Kaleb and Jeremy waiting in anticipation for Dilwyn’s initial testing where he switches from a negative to a positive result. Jeremy and Kaleb’s reaction made me laugh.
“Dilwyn, how many times have you been murdered?” Whilst Kaleb is breathing a sigh of relief whilst muttering in the background something like “for fuck sakes Dilwyn”.

It’s the subtleties of Kaleb’s facial expression and Clarkson’s sharp wit more than ever.

Went to my local today and the owner gave me the Hawkstone pint glass on the left. Nice to not pinch it which I might well have done!

What I had predicted for season 5 and for future seasons of this fanatic show

Since each series tends to have a main theme such as building a shop, building a mini restaurant cafe, buying a pub etc, I had hoped the next big project would have been something like a Diddly Squat festival or glamp site.
Could totally see it happening until West Oxfordshire District Council puts a stop to proceedings.

However, having the main focus be the farm and farming is the organic and naturalistic way to this wonderful show. So even without a ‘main event’ type project, it’s enjoyable.

It isn’t half stressful hearing about the losses the pub is having. 400 pint glasses a week pinched?

As an aside, what are the anti-Clarkson viewers thoughts on Jeremy as you presumably continue to watch and enjoy the series?

P.S - I wish I could edit ‘fanatic’ to ‘fantastic’!

Wi-Fi speed issues

Hi,

Sorry if this is not the correct sub for this basic question.

Situation:

I have half fibre, half copper with BT. Which is a crying shame as in my last house, I had full BT fibre and it was sonic speeds and never any issues.

Intermittent slow speeds on Wi-Fi. Sometimes getting 0.1mb. I am supposed to be getting a guaranteed 40meg and 50meg to the BT Hub itself.

Openreach initially setup the line outside of my house from the cabinet. I have since encountered poor speeds. Sometimes they're where they should be, most of the time, are not.

I only use one or two devices at a time. So no major bandwidth issues.

BT have sent an engineer to replace the hub (it is actually the second hub they have sent in 2 months). They have also replaced the socket and internet cable into the hub. So, all hardware tested and working as it should be. The hub is receiving the max speeds of 50meg as it should do.

From BT's perspective, there are no issues external to the property.

They are now saying I should try a booster - but my devices are barely a few metres away from the hub. There is one wall in the way and I don't live in a huge property with thick walls. Can it really be a wifi signal issue in the house? I have never encountered this before and I have lived in much larger houses and have sat further away from the hub.

I have reported this to BT several times - they won't budge. They cannot help. And I am stuck in a sodding contract.

Hoping you guys can help somehow.

Cheers

A dating app experience rant

From a straight man’s perspective and experience. And I absolutely know men will do this too.

🚩Women who have photos with their friends and maybe just one with just them. And that single photo is unclear and in the background of some scenery.
Who am I supposed to be fancying here??

🚩Absolutely no photos of you smiling. Instead looking miserable and glum. And covering your face with your massive smartphone in the mirror, posing for a selfie.

🚩 Photos of your pet and random scenic photos and barely any of you.

🚩Zero effort on the bio. Including absolutely no bio at all.

🚩If we match, I am happy to make the first move. But to completely ignore the message? Btw - I do try to balance enthusiasm, laid back and originality in the opening message. I know some would be put off with ‘hi, how’s you?’ Or a ‘you’re fit’ opener.

The above is largely said tongue-in-cheek and I know the majority of you are not like this. But I am matching with different kinds of women so it’s not isolated to one type of personality or appearance. It just seems to happen an awful lot.

Au Revoir,

Just a polite reminder from the executive boardroom to refrain from posting AI OFAH content.

The first few AI photos were funny but most of us get it now. And it spoils the imagination of the unseen but heard moments in the Trotter universe.

This sub is better than that. And we’re certainly better than OFAH Facebook groups who post this trash hourly.

Bon bouche to you all.
