    I miss bedtime stories🥲 edit reading them not listening 😂

    On a serious note download a podcast and some music and put phone on aeroplane mode. It will feel good to ignore the world for a bit. Work calls can wait they know you are working and if they don’t like waiting a few hours you really don’t need them in your life. Life has got too fast. Buy today get delivery tomorrow on anything you want! Do we really need to be rushing life so much? I know I’m a kind of outsider as I gave up work to look after my boys when the first one came, maybe you neeed a big change like that to take a different look at life?

    3.5l straight 6. old engine but still pulls. That truck is brilliant fun. Sold now but still was fun to drive. In the process of putting an ls14 (when it arrives 🤬) 702 bhp. Cannot wait to try that. It’s going in a 110.

    That’s fair enough. I used to be the same. I have the same headset. Not used it for months now. I’ve grown to like being off grid so to speak. Each to their own.

    Put one of these in. Great fun!

    Do you really get phone battery anxiety ? I’ve learnt to leave mine at home. It’s incredibly freeing. I get the thing about kids and needing to be available in case of a problem, but there is two of us so I can leave mine alone as my wife has this phone anxiety problem too😂 just try switching off for a couple of hours, it feels good to not be a anyone else’s beck and call

    He’s not a school teacher though is he?

    Yes bike paths or roads would be fine

    They could start with an easy one by taking the ban off electric scooters. To me they seem perfect for all these short journeys and could take loads of cars off the road. I’d buy one tomorrow if I wasn’t worried about being made a criminal for using it. My car would hardly move most days if I could use one.

    That won’t happen it’s political suicide. too add to it the UK is producing very little these days in comparison to the rest of the world. China isn’t going to stop India isn’t going to stop. we go carbon zero is like using a pipette to stop a house burning down
  11. Richard 1234
    Reading some of that article the guy suggesting it wanted to try and find out what the consequences would be. if it’s a bad as we are led to believe it’s got to be worth looking into if nothing else. I think stopping burning trees on a massive scale to produce electricity has to stop. To me it’s beyond stupid. We need more trees standing not less. And if they are to be chopped down they should be kept as timber to build stuff it would make room for new trees and keep the carbon locked away.

    https://www.technologyreview.com/2013/02/08/84239/a-cheap-and-easy-plan-to-stop-global-warming/ I knew I’d read about this idea years ago. Science fiction? an alternative way of dealing/helping with climate change maybe?
  13. Richard 1234
    That’s very different to claiming that 2 and 4 year olds now here in the uk aren’t likely to live past 30 due to climate change. Anyway we might have an enormous volcano explode or mr Kim might detonate a nuke or two and save us the worry about getting too hot.
  14. Richard 1234
    It’s scaremongering like this that make people ignore it. scientists have been crying apocalypse for 40 years and not much of what they have said has come true. im not a climate change denier but also I don’t believe that the world will fry itself in the next ten years.
  15. Richard 1234
    Get the rough cut ones unless you are doing really tight topiary. the trim ones move too fast and miss bits if you move even a bit too fast. they won’t cut thick stuff the rough cut will do both if you use them properly. ive got both a hs82t and r version they t has hardly been used

    Do you know how many trailer accidents are sub750 on either licence? Would be interesting to see how many of those there are. Those little camping trailers you can get from the likes of Halfords look dangerous (to me at least) when brand new
  17. Richard 1234
    I’m talking about going from learning in a micra then buying a Range Rover as you suggested. Insurance would kill that idea for nearly everyone. I’m not saying learn in one
  18. Richard 1234
    That completely ignores my first point about driver error being the cause of nearly all accidents. How many are caused by people who are actually paying attention? Can’t be many
  19. Richard 1234
    True but with that you have got ridiculous insurance premiums that would in most cases prevent it.
  20. Richard 1234
    I’m sure driver error is without doubt the biggest cause of all accidents on the roads. Mechanical failures will be some of them but the rest is people not paying attention to what they are doing. What bugs me about the training is that around here at least the trailer they are towing is an 8x4 or a 10x 6 at most. After passing you can go get. A 16 foot trailer and do as you like with it. They all seem to have twin axles making reversing easier
  21. Richard 1234
    It might well be they can’t find anyone else to do the job. Parish councils work this way to when no one wants to join. I think your right though it just leads to a room of people with the same ideas with no one to tell them they are being bonkers!
  22. Richard 1234
    I know very little about chainsaws however I have to think that for a chain to shrink enough to bend a crankshaft it would have to be so tight to get so hot to do that that it would break something else first. Like the crappy screw tensioner or snap itself. The crank you saw probably bent due to knackered bearings.
  23. Richard 1234
    I understand more for the specialised stuff that you use. But for chopped peaches or whatever they are I’m not so sure. It obviously is cheaper or they wouldn’t do it. It just seems outrageous that they do it.
  24. Richard 1234
    Still it’s stupid for the example you posted. It’s travelling half the world from one cheap labour economy to another and virtually back again.
  25. Richard 1234
    I seem to remember that’s changed now and we are a net exporter. Last year the problem was getting it onto shelves not lack of it, very much like this fuel non crisis
