Why do i sometimes wake up needing to pee in the early morning, nowadays, when in my 20's i never did unless id had a skinful.
does the bladder contract as you age?
also is shy baldder a thing?
if im desperate for a p on the train i wait till i get off and go at the station, but sometimes takes a good 20 secs or so to get going, if theirs someone in the next urinal or not. whereas when im at football or a night out or at work i have no issues in the urinals, again wherver i have a urinal buddy or not.
or do i have an underlying medical condition.
Dunno if it contracts, but I think it may be something along the lines of how in that general area of the body, your muscles get a bit sdoes the bladder contract as you age?

t as you age. Similar to how men are more prone to groin hernias once past conventional breeding age.Shy bladder's definitely a thing. I get it too and it seems to happen with no rhyme or reason. And I know if it's going to occur before I've put my pint down to go to the loo.

Why is that when temporary traffic lights break down, they always seem to fail on red? I can see the argument that red both ways should be safer than green, but is it deliberate and if so how?
They are supposed to be on red all the time if there are no cars about, changing to green when a car is detected so hence why they fail to red. Also, if they fail to green, both ways will go, equals head on crash!I might be wrong, my street works qualification has now lapsed!

A set failed to red in High Wycombe this morning, both ways did eventually go, but carefully, so it works.I might be wrong, my street works qualification has now lapsed!

The alternative is if it fails both on green, both directions think they have right of way. Fail to red is the only thing that makes sense. It's the "fail safe" option.
Edit: beaten to it by Flibble, but only just.

I believe the muscles that keep everything water tight weaken as you get older.does the bladder contract as you age?

This is literally what the term failsafe describes. Definitely intentional.
What do you do when temporary lights fail?I mean can you call the operating company, do they have a number on the side of the lights? Possibly talk you through rebooting them or fix it remotely?
I get that most people will consider it S.E.P. (Someone Else's Problem) but surely there is something a charitably minded individual can do.
Or is this one of the things you need to call the council about?

I wouldn't say I have shy bladder, more just that I've probably been holding it so long I have to try and tell myself it's ok, you can pee now and it takes some time for the message to be received downstairs before anything starts happening. if im desperate for a p on the train i wait till i get off and go at the station, but sometimes takes a good 20 secs or so to get going, if theirs someone in the next urinal or not. whereas when im at football or a night out or at work i have no issues in the urinals, again wherver i have a urinal buddy or not.

Difficult to couple/uncouple hydraulic lines to a trailer - you'd need to bleed the lines every time you swapped the trailer. Not a problem though with air brakes 
Agricultural kit uses hydraulic lines for all sorts of purposes - grabs, tipping trailers - and you don't need to bleed anything. You might suffer a small loss of hydraulic fluid but if any it's negligible.Edited to add that ag trailer brakes are often (usually ?) air.
For a relatively low pressure system like brakes though, one advantage of air brakes is it can never run out of fluid. If a hydraulic brake system leaks sooner or later it's going to fail when you run out of fluid.

If a road is closed and there is a 'Road Closed - Access Only' sign blocking the road. If I am going to a property down that road where I need access. Can I move the sign and drive down the road?
If a road is closed apart from access, then it should allow access surely?ie, not be completely blocked off, preventing access.

If there are properties to which access is available, the sign shouldn't be positioned such that it needs moving!V8mate said:

I need to get to the same property tomorrow morning and am just wondering if as I am planning to de-load into the studio if I am allowed to move the sign as I need access.

The sign can't be avoided by a couple of wheels on the footpath? Residents must be coming and going all the time?
Nope!
Is access just to the length of the first block? If so, just pull across the entrance and walk/wheel the stuff up?
