NOW You Can Change Your Title

NOW You Can Change Your Title (10/18)

  1. Range is calculated using what it thinks is in the tank and current consumption. The first thing still relies on a mechanical float in the tank - so 19th century. Secondly if you were riding normally and now ride like a granny the rate of cosumption will be less so range calculation could well increase.
  2. "Like me, I think most others are the same. As long as the bills are paid and there is food on the table and a couple of pounds left to spend we are happy-ish." And so many in that position still keep complacently voting for the bloody Conservatives
  3. Handling difference may be down to comparing new suspension and linkages with worn stuff on the gen2 and/or tyre profile and pressures
  4. Our Morrisons has a gorgeous till operator who always smiles and gives me a semi so that's where we shop Unfortunately their fuel station staff don't have the same effect but I can suffer that if it means they don't "borrow" my money
  5. First Omicron death in this country recorded yesterday.....or was that more misinformation and obfuscation by the Venusians?
  6. Is there a child in this country that doesn't have a special need these days? I know of one diagnosed with some attention disorder thingummy and her drink dependant parents get loads of money and attention heaped on the family because of their so called poorly daughter. When she's dumped on the grandparents there's nothing wrong with her and her behaviour is perfectly normal. Maybe there are some genuine cases but I'm just citing one example of "a certain section" of society jumping on a bandwagon. And they didn't come over here in a flimsy rubber dinghy....
  7. I've followed this discussion all the way, carefully reading each post on my PC. I understand why you've stopped fighting the tide John.
  8. "no it’s not going so let’s crack on" I hope that doesn't mean to crack on as if nothing is happening cos' "I'm all right Jack" and if other people suffer then that's tough. When a little bit of care and consideration in what we do might just lessen that suffering of others.
  9. Just a minute. If you're vaccinated you're less likely to get Covid. If you're vaccinated and you are unlucky to be one of the few vaccinated people to end up with Covid you are less likely to suffer the Covid virus replicating massively in your body. With less virus in your system you are less likely to transmit the virus to others. So by waiving your "right" and your "freedom" to not be vaccinated you are exercising your "public duty" to protect others. That's called being a nice unselfish person.
  10. "... and we will own feck all" You'll still think you own your free will
  11. Bloke on the gen3 is a pro drag racer bloke on gen2 is a circuit racer.
  12. Haselmere must be that hidden suburb of Exeter I don't know
