I have a slightly unusual property in that the back is the main entrance from the road. For that reason we often use it for pedestrian access as well as the car.
For cost reasons, we're thinking a gravel drive would be the best option, but then I'm concerned that gravel would get into a sliding gate rail? Or is it generally not a problem?
I'm also wondering about a 'door within a gate' setup, which I believe is termed a 'wicket gate'. I phone some companies and they said they don't do them as they're a trip hazard. I'm wondering then how to go about having it for foot access as well.
Finally, installation costs seem to be phenomenal in London, hence the question to DIY. Is it doable if you're fairly confident with putting up a fence, or is it much more complex? Of course, would still need certified electrician for the electrics.
I want to know if I have to complete the wicket gate within the week like Johanka said or if I can do other things before hand.
So, what exactly happens if I do not follow the strict rules for the pilgrimage? Can I just lie? Will anyone find out and will it screw up the ending?
I have this idea of riding on a horseback, drunk, and maybe visit a bathhouse or two on my way there, but I do want to save Johanka.
In the textbook it says :
>Note that in a good design, the number of wicket gates does not share a common denomi- nator with the number of runner blades. Otherwise there would be severe vibration caused by simultaneous impingement of two or more wicket gate wakes onto the leading edges of the runner blades. For example, in Fig. 14–87 there are 17 runner blades and 20 wicket gates. These are typical numbers for many large reaction hydroturbines, as shown in the photographs
I really can't understand how having the same number for both would cause severe vibration.
Can anyone help clarify it ?
Thanks in advance.
I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

But the contest is tied up in conspiracies and a decade-old murder, and Trellin soon realizes his new benefactor's true goal: Revenge.

A hand brushed my shoulder. I jerked awake with a yelp.
Avira. She leaned over me, her eyes dark but a crooked smile on her lips. “Easy, lad.”
“O-Oh,” I mumbled. “Um. Is it-”
“It’s time.” She drew back out of the tent.
I paused for a moment longer, blinking out at our campsite. The sky was still dark, with our campfire burned down to cinders. “Now?”
Her footsteps drifted farther away. “The ceremony begins at dawn. It’s tradition—sunrise for the declaring, sunset for the pledging. Once the challenge is complete, that is.”
I just nodded, scrambling back out of the tent and dragging my blanket along with me. “Okay. Yeah. Just- I’ll just, uh-”
“We have time yet,” Avira said, her voice still low. “Worry not. We’ll be fine.”
Was she telling me that? I couldn’t quite be sure. I stuffed my blanket back into my pack, hearing her take the tent down behind me, and grabbed for my cuirass.
I couldn’t quite keep from making a face at it, though. Between the tittara and the senida, there were a few nicks and tears in the leather, and unpleasant dark spots marred the even color. “Wonder if there’s someone in there to fix this,” I mumbled.
“Probably,” Avira said. “We’ll look after I make my declarations. We’ve got to get you to the imbuer, anyhow.” She laughed, shaking her head. “And I suppose you’ll be wanting to make use of those upgrade components we’ve found.”
“Perfect,” I said, and heaved my bag onto my shoulders. “You ready?”

This is a mid-90’s story of cheeky player swaps, parochial supporters cheering against their own national team, and no one rating the Poms: all against the colourful backdrop of pyjama cricket
Cricket:
Cricket is one of the most popular sports Worldwide. Played predominantly in former British colonies, Cricket is a largely Summer sport that see’s elite matches being played in a varied climates, conditions and locales ranging from Karachi to Dublin, from Durban to Providence.
Involving two teams of XI playing against each other, Cricket has developed from humble beginnings since the 1600’s to be a serious world-wide sport involving Googlies and gullys, silly-mid ons and Irish swing, flippers and fine-legs.
In its simplest form involves a 22-yard pitch in the middle of an oval. At one end stands a 'batter,' who protects his/her 'wicket' while holding a bat. The batter protects their 'stumps' from the 'bowler' who sends down 'deliveries' or '[balls](http

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
It really does, I swear!
Because she wanted to see the task manager.
Heard they've been doing some shady business.
but then I remembered it was ground this morning.
Edit: Thank you guys for the awards, they're much nicer than the cardboard sleeve I've been using and reassures me that my jokes aren't stale
Edit 2: I have already been made aware that Men In Black 3 has told a version of this joke before. If the joke is not new to you, please enjoy any of the single origin puns in the comments
They’re on standbi
A play on words.
Pilot on me!!
Nothing, he was gladiator.
They were cooked in Greece.
Or would that be too forward thinking?
Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
What did 0 say to 8 ?
" Nice Belt "
So What did 3 say to 8 ?
" Hey, you two stop making out "
When I got home, they were still there.
I won't be doing that today!

Where ever you left it 🤷♀️🤭
This morning, my 4 year old daughter.
Daughter: I'm hungry
Me: nerves building, smile widening
Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.
She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.
Thank you all for listening.
There hasn't been a post all year!
