  1. My personal view is that cyclists should hold a license like any other road user.......and that license should be subject to the same endorsement scheme as all other road users!!

     

    Horse Riders?


    :mrgreen:


    Note: I do agree with you in principle but, it's never going to happen!


    :cheers:

     

    Horse do very well at the practical, but they're lousy at the theory test.

  2. Harley Rider who wouldn't go over 30 after I turned off the A14 this morning. The speed limit is 60, but he was bimbling along whilst everyone was trying to get to work.


    I was in the car as I'd dropped Poppy off this morning. I so wish I had the Dullville, but I don't have time to switch vehicles if I'm doing the school drop.

  3. Just driven from Cambridge to Felixstowe (luckily had the cruise control on) and saw the dreaded camera flash 5 or 6 times on the way - twice around A12 junction so presumably one each way.


    Ride safely and in accordance with the posted speed limits. ;-)

     

    To be honest I don't know of any cameras around both the A12 junctions. I'll look out for any on the east junction as I commute past that one.

  4. ......and then you burn whatever is cooking because you've wasted to much time discussing the beans. So you spend ages trying to sort out the burnt food and guess what? You forget to put the beans on and you have to listen to "You wouldn't have had this problem, if you put the beans on when I said."

  5. Listening to a Syrian tonight, it is a difficult subject. He said IS needs removing, but he feels sorry for the young naïve, unwitting fighters. I think IS are dangerous and direct action against them is good, but I don't know why the government switches this to snooping on us so much.


    I'm more likely to be mugged by a chav or robbed by someone desperate for their next fix than attacked by a radicalised believer.


    Plus how are we going to be perceived? How easy will this action be manipulated by others as "the West helping the Shia's to attack the Sunnis"?

  6. People who don't indicate.


    It pisses me off so much and I realise that I'm over the top about it. My wife winces every time I rant about it........ but how effing selfish are these people? How many times have you thought "I could have gone then" but the plonker in the car going where you want to go suddenly turns off. I've got annoyed thinking about it.


    I'm going to make a cup of tea to calm down. I should get counselling to get over it.

  7. Going to work this morning in heavy fog passed a light grey car with no lights on doing 60. Bad enough you might think but riding about three feet behind his back bumper was a motorbike, also with no lights on.

     

    They must come from Suffolk.

  8. Driving on the way home from the shops. A bit of a squeeze between parked cars on my left and oncoming cars on my right. One car passes fine, then another and then the third almost rams me as she's too busy looking at the shops and not the road.


    I thought "Brace for impact" as it was either her or the parked cars, but she veered over to her side at the last moment. Phew!

  9. The nob who desperately wanted to get in the left hand lane approaching Felixstowe, so I slowed down and waved him in. Then when we turned off the A14, he tried to move to block me from overtaking. So if I see him try that again (however unlikely that is), he can stay where he is and come home via the port. What a selfish nob.

  10. I'm afraid sense and tax are words that don't go well together. When I work with anyone who is about to start tax, my advice is "Just learn the rules and don't try to understand the logic."


    The chancellor/treasury change the rules when they want and I'm sure any system of rules worked out by bureaucracy isn't going to be any where near perfect.

  11.  

    Then why is it called acid?

     

    It is classed as an acid on the PH scale, which categorizes substances to PH neutral. It will be alkaline to anything that is more acidic than it, on the PH scale. As stomach (hydrochloric) acid, which would be diluted to various extents depending on stomach content, is higher than phosphoric acid, it means that phosphoric acid is alkaline to hydrochloric (but still technically an acid).


    And I'm not saying coca-cola is good by any means, but if one were to drink it, they would seriously extend the health of their teeth by neutralizing the acid with something like baking soda or milk of magnesium.

     

    Sorry to get so nerdy. I don't get that. Generally acids are reactive as they are hydrogen donating and bases are hydrogen acceptors. Unless one acid was exceptionally weak and the other exceptionally strong, mixing them wouldn't necessarily mean they would react.


    Like I said, sorry to get nerdy.
