I've spent many happy hours playing the original... My only gripe is that it always turned into a traffic management sim. Yes there were other challenges, but traffic was always front and centre. (At least for my cities)

Eeep! OK, we will send all the cold stares we give people who jump queues. Hope that helps!

If this is trimmable into a usable shape for a banner, you are welcome to use this :)

Hello! Hope all is well over in .dk! Would you like some of our sunshine? We've got too much and will happily trade it for some ice, or a nice cup of tea.

Here's a duck, local to the marina we're currently in, looking for a sneaky place to lay her eggs a couple of months back.

Please excuse the mess!

We tie old hi viz jackets to ours. Perhaps we'll wait until Lidl has some stick-in-the-ground lights on offer :)

White top is the only way. Made a huge difference just cleaning and repainting the roof when we got our boat. I can't imagine what it must be like to have a dark topped boat in this weather!

We have a couple of largish panels towards the stern (above our bedroom). I'd say it keeps the heat off somewhat. We got a deal on bifacial panels, so perhaps this summer when it gets really hot we'll put some foil down on the roof with the double win of reflecting heat and maybe adding a few more watts to our solar input. Not that we'd need them on the hottest days of course... Although a small A/C unit is probably within our power budget for those days now I think of it!

Ours is very much in need of a paint job. When we painted the roof, we sanded back and fertan'd some rust spots on the side, with the good intention of painting the sides later. That was a couple of years back, poor thing! Maybe this year.

Hi!

Thank you for such a detailed and thoughtful reply!

We're hoping to move to somewhere with a garden soon. If so, and with Mrs TheNumberOfGeese permitting, I'll be able to join in the HF fun too.

I'm impressed that you've managed to get HF working on your boat. I'll dig my HF Yaesu out of its box and give it a try to see if I can get anything going before we find somewhere to move to. Does mean a trip to ML&S to get the HF bits and bobs, so there goes my pocket money!

Good to know that I've just been unlucky in my area with VHF.

You're right, it's not a Yaesu-specific message. I'm a professional reddit lurker, but trying my best to help add content as part of the redditsodus(?)... but without practice, I'm not the best at creating on-topic content.

I've had a look at "All" and the list just goes on and on (yay!). Do you recommend the following?

Thanks again for your message. Really appreciate it.

She's beautiful!

Happy to help where I can.

As @HumanPenguin@feddit.uk says, know what you're getting yourself into. That said, it can all be learnt, and the IRL community is for the most part very welcoming and kind.

Back when I was near Uxbridge, there was a proposal to install a tram line from Ux to Shepherds Bush. Would have been great for my commute and replace all the (then) stinky 207s and 607 Express busses. Sadly it got NIMBY'd away. This would have formed part of the superloop structure I believe.

Given the size of the superloop, something better than busses seems sensible. A super ring of trams?
