Things you've always wanted to know......

It’s probably something I can Google but has the 25 score around the bullseye got a more technical name? Half bull?

Semi bull

[btajim - mcfc]

I was almost there.

No, it is simply '25'. Bullseye is double 25.

[Shabu]

Why do we say left handed & left footed instead of left armed & left legged?

[btajim - mcfc]

No, it is simply '25'. Bullseye is double 25.

I’ve only recently started to watch darts and they rarely hit that bit. Are you not both right?

[Bobbysgirl]

outer bull?

[Arnold Layne]

I call it ‘the flange’.

Where is TOMOS? I hope him and his family are all well

[White Goodman]

Serious question.

Why are there seemingly far more duck toed women nowadays than there used to be?

Every other one seems to walk with one foot going inwards towards the other one, which seems to track straight.

Is it because there has been an increase in the wearing of flat shoes?

I have a drop box account and a google cloud storage account.

Anyone know what the best way is to migrate the dropbox files across to my goole storage? Since I am sick of having to pay twice for cloud storage. TIA.

Can't you just copy and paste them onto your computer and then across?

I think he withdrew from the whole forum following discussions in the Russian invasion of Ukraine thread in NUMB

[last.caress]

I spoke at some length with TOMoS immediately after his adventures on the Ukraine thread, and he's definitely spoken with others close to him on the moderating team (he has many friends here at KUMB and, although I don't know for a fact, I'm pretty bloody sure he'll have spoken to one or two of you fine gentlemen too). Long story short: He's fine and he's intimated that he'll be back on here in due course, as soon as he's ready. As someone who spent a few months away from here in the late 2010s myself having been a constant contributor for ten years or so previous, I know that it's a doddle to step off of this carousel but harder than you'd think to step back on after a little while away. He'll get there, though. My guess? Soon.

that's what I think i'll have to do, but had hoped that there might be a click and play option.

Hope he is back soon, always enjoyed his posts.

He'll be back when he needs a new TV.

How is it decided how motorways and A-roads are numbered?

[prophet:marginal]

How is it decided how motorways and A-roads are numbered?

I have a theory but the signal digit ones are historically our major ones, so

1. #1 London <-> Scotland
2. #2 London <-> Dover
3. #3 London <-> Portsmouth/Southampton

Moving on, a new road got given a number that offers connection to a road...it connected to, so, we had the A12 and the A127 and A128 were created afterwards, as a result of being in the same area as the older A12 (London <-> Harwich, iirc).

Obviously motorways are fairly modern arrangements, so, when a motorway gets built over the existing A road, it takes on that number, too.

As I say, a theory.
