A warm one!

No, they are purely for show and street cred!

Not done a side by side comparison.

They do give the impression of an S Meter, but it’s just a bar next to the on screen one, so can’t do a signal report comparison.

That said, seemed to receive the same as the Yaesu FT25 I previously had on the bike.

Exercise bike is already in place and ready to run. I can also change the tension and run a number of training programs, so has many advantages over the rollers.

Just need to get the camera, radio, and other gadgets attached to the handle bars! 🤓

Abandoned this idea on account that I have an exercise bike in the bedroom! Forgot all about it as it’s traditionally just had things piled on it.

Just done 5KM (can’t find the instructions so stuck with KMs) constant pedal n 10 mins on setting 5.

£220 to spend on something else!

🤣 not to mention the year on year increase in length to modestly hide the ever descending undercarriage!

Hollow them out and fill them with M&Ms for the win!

The word "trouser" comes from the Middle Irish word "triubhas," which means "close-fitting shorts." It evolved through various forms in English, including "trouse" and "trousers," with influences from Gaelic and Old French.

Around here is referred to as pants, except underpants.

A gentleman’s trouser does sound more sophisticated.

A Trouser Shop does sound more correct than a Trousers Shop.

As an aside, if Mr Trouser owned a shop then it would be Trouser’s Shop, and it would solve many quandaries if he actually sold Trousers!

On a point of ponder, why is it not a Shoes Shop?

I suppose you could start a similar tradition around the fire pit!

It’s not the thing to have house guests around to gather around, and boast about, the oven though.
