I'm not the brightest :oops: but don't helicopters push air down rather than suck it up...

This image shows how the air rises a short distance away from the downwash when too close to the ground for it to escape easily. This can accelerate rapidly in confined areas like maneuvering near trees or buildings.

I was watching a helicopter pilot (Probably called Roger) doing spraying at the back of the farm, rather than droplets effected by rotor turbulence, the drops fell behind the helicopter like in a sheet, incredibly accurate placement with no drift. Apparently the set up is what was used for Agent Orange.

"Have you Googled it ?" HYGI.
You need professional help with a problem and refer to your builder, plumber, doctor, mechanic etc. There is a short intake of breath, a stroke of the chin, a scratch of the back of the head, a "hmm!", "well, er, hmm" from the expert of your choice followed by those words you didn't want to hear..".I just don't know,.have you googled it ?"

Turning on the computer yesterday to do the wages, press the icon for basic PAYE tools and the icon appears on the screen as normal.

Then another super-imposed over it saying updates available, do you want to download now?

Press yes and then get on TFF whilst it is doing its thing.

after a while I thought that I had better look to see how it was going - nothing on screen, must have finished then and turned itself off - press the icon to get it on again, to find that everything has now disappeared, no records, no diagnostics, no history, nothing left at all.

Get on the helpline thing where you type, a very nice person called Rachel tried to help but after an hour and a half she had to go home - 10:00pm by then.

On the phone this morning, for only 3/4 hour to find a chap (admittedly from north of Watford Gap but otherwise perfectly understandable) who knew exactly what to do and got it all back for me in the end, OK with a lot of key pressing by me.

He says 'funny this is the third one of these that I have done in 2 days since the update came out, maybe there is something wrong with the update?

No sh!t Sherlock.

I don’t do the wages until the end of the month, so not had an update notification yet! Sounds like it could be a clusterf**k if I’m unlucky! :facepalm:

Folk that go walking with uncontrolled dogs.

Up the hills today, picnic with the kids at the top, lovely weather. Couple arrive with 4 dogs in a scrum, obviously couldn’t sit anywhere other than 12ft away. One barked continuously for ten to fifteen mins, then as soon as they fecked off some other hound comes bounding thru the middle of us to a jovial “lock up the picnic” from some bellend carrying a decrepit terrier.

Stopped for a break later on a fairly isolated rock head and within 2 mins, from nowhere, here’s another mobile sh#t factory barging thru, almost knocked the wee lad over, so I gave it a good shove......

Dad did say there was a red pick up truck parked up not far from our burn.... hmmm..... and the drone did hit a tree at one point....which considering I had to tow the local fire engine out of one of our fields on friday, I wouldn't put the local boys down as expert drone drivers either o_O
Reckon it could have been that Shrusole chap on Countryfile this evening following you Dave.
