@CarlowWeather @metoffice This is an Ocean Data Acquisition System (ODAS) buoy, used to gather and report oceanographic and meteorological information. The UK Met Office K2 buoy is currently showing no data. Perhaps it’s connected.

@edoflaherty @_mullally_el_ The 16hp is ‘tax horsepower’, which wasn’t the actual engine power, but a calculation based on cylinder dimensions. In very old cars, tax power and actual power were very similar, but, over the years, engines improved, so, actual hp now exceeds tax hp by a ratio of up to 10:1

@leedsrhinos RIP Rob Burrow. A true inspiration. Thoughts with Rob’s family and also with Kevin Sinfield, his incredible teammate and friend.

Not sure I’ll be here for another 15 years given how much of a cesspool X has become, however, there are still a few good people on here.
