I work for a business selling fuel. Last results we made £11 million profit, but turned over just shy of £900 million. But of that £900 million over £600 million is also tax from fuel duty. So for that reason, I’m out. Stricter accounting rules would make more sense.

The school in question used to make up part of the intake at my secondary school. I am not at all surprised.

Stick a Fracking site on it and it’ll more than pay for itself.

Roachford, Cuddly toy?

Oh and which river flows faster?

Is it a competition? I’m going for the Swale!

Well done OP!

Pictures time?

Kenneththecurtain, I’d be interested in the pedal lock if it’s going, email sent.

Is that lifted or on standard suspension? My neighbour says nice truck!

2 of these?

This year I got one of those tins with “Man Stuff” written on the outside. But my mum thoughtfully filed it with the contents of her junk drawer… staples, fuses in an old 35mm film case, elastic bands and an ikea Allen key.

The obvious thing to do would be to throw out the contents, and put your stuff in it, but we all know you’ll then have the nagging worry that you might need an old 35mm film case one day. Best get yourself another one.

Rhubarb gin and ginger. Mmmmmmmm!!!!!!

Yes, yes I can.

If we’re talking beautiful V-bombers, this carried more, further, and looked better doing it.

Deadly in many ways

A bit more about the bike and the engine. The power output of the engine is about 10 kw. But that power pushes against the air and isn’t linked to the wheels, and this makes the acceleration different. The thrust from this engine doesn’t push you back into your seat and if it did the engine would be much larger and your top speed would be a couple hundred miles an hour.

What if you tried it out on a conveyor belt that goes backwards at the same speed the wheel go forwards?

The pig is smiling because it didn’t end up with David Cameron.

New word I learnt last week: Esker

Ah, O level geography, drumlins, eskers, dykes and erratics.

Neal Stephenson’s Baroque Cycle, big budget though.

But, but, I can lock either wheel with cantis*, why would I need discs?**

*certain terms, weather conditions, pad wear, cable wear, cable stretch and brake set up may apply.
** any resemblance to arguments concerning road bikes is purely coincidental.

And his dad coined the many worlds interpretation on quantum physics.

I’m good friends with her but am holding onto it just in case we fall out.
When you say “it”….

And when you say “we”, and when you say “fall out”…

Should people working for charity be badly paid?

I think the issue is wheter the workers for the charity should be paid, be it operational, support staff or management. They have a job and should be paid the going rate. It is whether high profile trustees, who are already in very well paid jobs, should be paid for work they do overseeing a charity. An analogy is a school and school governors. The staff get paid, the governors are not and should not be paid, I believe someone called it big society.

Getting road curious for the first time ever. Rather taken by this

or this

Yup, getting it here :(

Two old school classics

But without it, how will Japanese schoolgirls protect us from the meteors?!

Going to one bike. Why?

I know people have the thing about do it all bikes and emptying the garage but honestly, why? I’m not needing the money from selling surplus bikes to eat, it would only end up buying useless consumer items like shoes for the so I’m happy to live with a few bikes optimised for different things. Why this urge to just have one? I have several sets of clothes too.

( currently two bikes, looking at a third)

Did he build it up for a female friend and she didn’t want it?

The flight engineer is mainly their to manage the engines, if revs and prop speed aren’t synchronised the aircraft flies inefficiently and you can get severe vibrations. Flight engineers went the way of navigators when automatic systems became smart and reliable enough.

Go upstairs at Buzzbar, it doesn’t seem too crowded and I wish I could pay £5 for a cocktail and £10 for a main course in Burnley,

How very dare the wealthy donate things which might be needed by others.

Didn’t that used to be called taxes?

Make a heartwarming comedy threequel?

They’ve also mortared and flamethrowered ministers to death in the last few years. Or for non politicians there is the old standards of starvation and disease.

Buzz Bar on the beach is one of my favourite bars in the entire world, great drinks, food, music, mood and views. Paragliding is a big thing there, look at doing a flight off Babadag and watch out for flyers landing on the beach. Very relaxed place overall but I’ve only been in October for the air games.

If we ever get to the point where we know and understand everything then the fun with science engineering really begins

FTFY :wink:

“Northernland” has a certain ring to it, but we’re excluding Cheshire straight off. That’ll be our Lesotho.

Rain City has a certain ring to it.

Got a two year old Vango Airbeam. 20 minutes from unzipping the bag to fully up with sleeping pods and carpet in place the 2nd time we used it. Had it in galeforce winds last summer and although the beams deflect they spring back into shape, and the Vango has reinforcing straps on the beams too. The down side is the size of the bag when the tent is down but we love it.
