Party gate was obviously so MUCH more important I suppose.

😬😬😬

So Therefore, a liter of gasoline has 8.76 kW/hr of energy in it, which is a much more manageable number.27 Sept 2021 And since we are getting 45mpg for every 40kW/hr(4.54 *8.76kW/hrs) of petrol =bloody hell= nearer to 1 mile per kW/hr how can this be correct?

Followed this thread with interest. Not likely to be buying a BEV since we bought the Toyota only 6 month ago. But interested(and if the bloody Skoda had not shit hersel prematurely I might have considered a BEV, a couple of years hence) Anyway, how is MPGe calculated? Tried doing some research having seen silly high like 100 to 150 MPG figures being quoted. How is this possible? Since most of the electric generated is still subject to the first law of thermodynamics in respect of its generation with its inherent inefficiencies plus the transmission losses? Thoughts?

Sorry David, but aged 62, and thus aging during a period of vast increases in health, wealth and living standards, I can only reluctantly conclude that there is zero danger of the masses becoming too intelligent despite their increased material comforts. From a lifetime of wryful rueful direct observation.

Proper uncalled for brutal that is.

Are you saying that you lot were earning so much, sans UK tax, such that HMRC found it necessary to write specific regulation just for younz? wow! Impressive.

I dont know whether to laugh or cry.

If this is the video I watched a while ago, it explains how this new canal will allow US Warships access to the Black Sea. Which the Russians regard as their pond, since a treaty of about 1923 which still stands, but will not apply to any new waterway, or so it could be argued. Guessing there will be loads of back channel(and pun fully intended) CIA funding for this project. Here in NI this would be regarded as a coat trailing stunt on a grand geopolitical scale.

Hi Sur an am the dyslexic wan, so I am Sur.

bile.

While Russia is focussed on the West, and China is focussed on the South China Sea, it clearly makes sense for the two of them to stand "back to back".

I seem to remember that fiasco. P.S. I also imagine getting insurance quotes for a warship can be kinda tricky . . .

Self installed 5kW Morso, my own produced conifer firewood, no stove thermostat, draught on minimum/zero, but easily and quickly boils a kettle, and requires firing restraint to prevent overheating of about 800 sq ft. It should be that simple, if the wood is dry.

We watched this bloke last night. I cannot argue with his thoughts.

Guessing rubber indespension suspension units are fitted, so simply check the tyre ratings? then "suck it and see".

Perhaps.

Why should she not though, since he rounded up 20 to 30 million for the NHS. Probably as "deserving" as anybody else that happenstance interviews well, or knows the right people.

Well, I suspect some of the snowflake left wing lurvvies got their knickers in a twist at how successful Capt. Toms charity was. And wanted their snouts in his trough. Btw I understood a lot of "charities" were run by the folks that set them up. At least this appears to be the case in our local community.

Another aspect that troubles me about some/most/all of the big "brand name" charities are the "chuggers" they employ, both on the high streets and in "telesales" operations. All getting highly motivating commissions!

Was it motivated by greed, spite and envy of his success? Did someone else fancy the top job shoulda bin their gig? Surely plenty of other less reputable charities would have stood investigating first? Anyway, it really pissed me off. Marcus

Kevin, My experiences of farming are essentially 40 year old memories. Apart from the mostly stupidly long hours manual labour(back then) with zero convivial long evenings in a pub as compensation, my singular condensed memory is the big successful go-getting dairy farmer just up the road, (and more critically upstream from the source of the water for our farm and farmhouse) getting grants to rip many/most hedges out, and then to add insult to injury, a generation later getting even more generous grants to replant hedges. The farmer who let his hedges be, got nowt, twice over. Forby that this same farmer regularly and habitually turned the local stream(which had been full of brown trout) into little more than an open sewer to dispose of his unwanted yard run off, slurry and silage seep. Him being such a big successful go-getting farmer an all So I see both sides. P.S. To wind up the brother who got the farm, and those other crying farmers driving shiney new Fendt tractors they do not in the slightest need , I am fond of saying, if anybody asks, "No, I don't farm, I have to work for a living". Boom boom. Cheers, Marcus

"Follow the money" Is my, perhaps a trifle cynical, analysis of this ivy fixation.

This deeply distresses me. Those who are prudent and save money to provide a better life for their children and grandchildren, all too often see these funds stolen by the Government to effectively pay for or subsidize the care of those who had the same type of jobs or earning potential, but "lived it large" during their working lives. This is simply plainly downright wrong. What ever happened to equality and everybody being treated the same. Marcus

May I suggest you snack on a couple o bananas while you are there. . .
