  1. How can he/she talk about things being done in secrecy while wearing a mask himself?
  2. What do you mean "just"! It's a lot of work and effort you're putting into it and it's very much appreciated.
  3. I think it was called 'Laird's House'. No definite article.
  4. I don't know about anybody else but I personally think that Eggy is well worth a round of applause for all the fantastic work he's doing with these photos! Get your hands together!
  5. Consider your knuckles well and truly rapped young man!
  6. Bit late in the day but just noticed this. Happy birthday!
  7. Wow! I'm impressed that we have so many. A few photos of the gravestones would be appreciated if anybody has the time.
  8. I don't know but they go great with purple hats.
  9. I think you guys are missing the most important point. Does it matter if GPS is being used or not? Does it matter if idiots are sitting on motorway bridges with spoofers? Does it matter if these cars are using the same spatial clues as humans? NO!! What matters is where they place the make-up mirror and the mug holder!
  10. Well, to be fair, he didn't say that the spoofer (lovely word that) was being used only that he was sitting on a motorway bridge with it. When webtrekker challenged me to imagine the carnage that might be caused I imagined it flying through the air like a brick. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
  11. As I said - we are none of us too old to learn! Well done!
  12. I wouldn't know what smart cars use. I'll get a pidgeon away to Volvo and ask them to let me in on their secrets. However, I do know what carnage looks like. I've seen the damage caused by striking workers throwing bricks off motorway bridges in Wales. Not a pretty sight.
  13. I'm with you on that one, mercuryg.
  14. You've obviously never worked in an A&E department.
  15. I can - but I'd rather not!
  16. The first rule, I was taught by Miss Gair at Nedderton Village Junior School when aged about 10 years so it's not rocket science but it's amazing how many people I've talked too who were never taught the all important second line! The second rule is one they use here when teaching English as a second language to roughly the same age group. I think it's better. We are none of us ever too old to learn!
  17. The insurance problem has been solved by Volvo. Just a few months ago Volvo said that it accepts full liability for accidents in which their driverless cars are involved. They are so confident that they are 100% safe. I wish I had their optimism! I've also heard that 'pedestrian avoidance detectors' can be fitted as an optional extra!
  18. That's it! I hadn't heard about the egg white trick but I once knew a lorry driver (ex father in law) who said a peeled boiled egg would block a leaking petrol tank. never tried it though.
  19. I looked at 23 and thought: that's the double of Eric Burns - must be a relation! I didn't spot Brian though!
  20. Speaking of "red", what was that fluid you could put in a leaking car radiator to seal the holes? It ran out and stained everything red.
  21. You've missed the second line of the mnemonic: I before E except after C but only when it sounds like EE. OR a better way to get it right, according to me,is: I before E, except after C or when sounded as A as in neighbour and weigh. The spelling is related to the sound system
  22. Sorry Maggie! Just home from Greece and couldn't make it in time. If it had been an hour later I might have been able to squeeze it in.
  23. Had the same problem last year for several months. Capital letters will start popping up in unexpected places next followed by not being able to quote anybody! Just take it in your stride!
