Re: Mr Postman
Spark plug caps for the Thruxton! Pretty impressed with that! Ordered last Wednesday evening, in my PO Box lunchtime Tuesday. That’s faster postage than I’ve had within my own state, let alone other side of the world! Since our native Lemmings voted away our neighbouring markets, I expect that any ...

Re: What you watching?
I watched the programme on BBC2 last night, that met with surviving D day veterans.
Nothing new was covered, but was very humbling nonetheless.

Re: What are you eating ??
It's Memorial Day here, and a couple I know invited me over for dinner. They're vegan, so I suffered through that as long as I could, made my excuses, and then left to find a good burger joint as fast as possible. It was like finding an oasis. Fwiw I quite like animal free food, as long as it's wel...

,,, but only if you think this proposed policy will just have an impact on people who are presently 17 or younger. TBH mate, I was simply being a bit pedantic. Fwiw what I actually think , is that this is simply pre-election bluster. The beginning of a bunch of "attention grabbing" announ...

I see what you are getting at, but wouldn't almost anyone who would be effected by the implementation not actually be voting in this upcoming election.?Kwacky wrote: ↑25 May 2024, 22:09 I see the Tories are making sure more youngsters vote against them.

Re: Always always keep your seat belt on
I'm not seeing the connection here....the guy died from a heart attack, it had little to do with whether he was wearing a seat belt or not. Over 100 people were treated afterwards, and more than 50 are still in hospital. They are saying that the plane dropped a mile in two minutes. I dare say that ...

Re: Always always keep your seat belt on
Never understood why the minute the seat belt light goes out on a plane you hear click click click as so many people remove them. Its no problem to keep it on and, has here, it might one day save your life. Pilots cannot predict turbulence. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c4nnqgexjp1o You &...

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
A nice run out with Cookie around Craven Arms. Saw a very lucky biker take a head shot from a pheasant. He managed to stay on. We pulled over to check he was ok. Shaken with a sore neck was the extent of his injuries. I remember reading a couple of years back about a rider who was killed by a pheas...

So this news came out yesterday https://amp.abc.net.au/article/103852218 I got a call later in the day. 10 positions affected offshore, out of around 500 staff on roster. I got a golden ticket. My offshore days are done. Seems my OIM kept his word and secured me a handshake. Still a little in shock...

That all points to dubious integrity. If he is the " smart lad" you reported he is, with time he will naturally become more familiar with your systems and more proficient (at deceiving you all, without being discovered). Fwiw I would have no hesitation whatsoever in getting rid, without de...

I guess that, in your case, the travel environment commuting adds a sizeable risk of contracting Cv19.

Re: Will Automated vehicles mean the end of Motorbikes ?
I agree with many of the above points you have all made, obviously. However automated systems sometimes tend to struggle when presented with (illogical) human actions. When all vehicles are automated & intercommunicating, collisions will be virtually obviated. However (despite the prevelance of ...

Re: Joke of the day
There is news being released at last, about the long awaited new Bond film. The misogynistic attitudes from the origin of the franchise is (quite rightly imho) seen to be out of kilter with current attitudes. So instead it is being very much targeted towards a market that is influenced by the woke b...

Re: Will Automated vehicles mean the end of Motorbikes ?
I don't understand your argument. I thought you were suggesting that automated cars would make it too unsafe for motorcycles to share the road. Sort of, yes. If automated systems cannot be shown to be infallible in endangering motorcyclists, it seems more probable that it would be motorcycles that ...

Well thankfully the roads are safe now, because cars rely on human drivers. :? I'm not sure that's entirely relevant Kwacky ??
