  1. Just checked and still in on page 47: https://www.fia.com/sites/default/files/fia_2022_formula_1_sporting_regulations_-_issue_8_-_2022-07-19.pdf
  2. Isn’t the time to qualify to start the race full stop within 107% of the pole sitter set by taking part in the q1 session?

    Once gave ours cows milk as kittens, later had to throw out the glossy cover to a copy of model rail, luckily that meant the carpet was saved…
  4. No it’s an early 70’s ex-council house within a terraced block. It has been on the rental market for around a decade and (from historic estate agent listings) it appears it had loving owners prior to that, with just basic maintenance to what was already there in the interim during its rental period. Not worried about a perfectly manicured lawn, just one I can walk on barefooted when putting the washing out etc.
  5. Thanks for the app suggestion, giving it a go at the moment. As they are where we don’t want them, they already meet my definition of weeds, just trying to work out how thorough I need to be in the eradication attempt.

    Moz our 15 year old neutered Tom was out exploring after dark last night (moved here recently and he was taking advantage of the open windows to explore). Suddenly hear a distant sound of loud miaowing and the wife says that sounds like a cat fight, suddenly he appears over the fence absolutely soaked head to toe…suspect he found next doors wildlife pond but oh how I wish they could talk…
  7. Question two: We acquired two of these planters at an antique fair a few years back, any suggestions as to original purpose or species that could be fun to plant in them?
  8. Question one: Having recently bought a new house and moved in we have found an issue with the lawn. When we first viewed it appeared to be a simple grass lawn. Once we moved in around 4 weeks ago the grass had been cut within an inch of its life (rental tenants ensuring they got their deposit back) and revealed a number of bush roots all across it that make walking barefoot impossible. There are around 20 on 25sq metre lawn. They initially appeared dead and so I planned to just dig them out when time permitted however they have since started to sprout leaves and I would like to identify them to make sure that is the correct way to dispose of them. Each one is around 4” across with 2 weeks growth. Does anyone recognise their species or have suggestions as to how to confirm? (Whoever set the garden out had a love of spiky plants and thorny rose-bushes)
  9. I have seen an Ambulance pull up in the middle of the road and the driver get out and talk to the tailgater before departing again without them.
  10. In the warehouse I used to manage it was when people stopped moaning you knew a problem was serious…

    Really? We tend to call more than 2 cats “a bunch £&*#holes” in this house….especially our own when we had two… 😺
  12. Thing is the same rules in use for exhibition are born out of theatres and also cover the venues used by amateur dramatics groups etc, who use often use school or village halls/mixed use venues. They cover all soft furnishings such as seats, and in particular curtains that are often over fire exits. I suspect that like the railway rules and regulations they are often reactions to events past.
  13. can’t speak for Hornby but in my line of ordering arts and craft items the production slots work around full shipping containers…one production slot equals one shipping container, the slots are booked at the start of the year and then the orders need to meet minimum order quantity for each individual product, whilst also fitting the complete mixed order in a 40’ container…. This sometimes leads to compromises between what I want to order and what fits production bookings made up to 8 or 9 months, before the final order is submitted, luckily we don’t have preorders to contend with… The factory don’t do less than container slots so small overflows are a pain in the backside and involve $100’s of extra cost shipping loose pallets to the port ex-works and then LCL shipping, rather than the FCA (FOB in old money) terms the main container is shipped under.
  14. Just thinking back to July 2007 almost to the day, when I as part of a first aid organisation was assisting at an emergency evacuation centre, full of the residents of an old peoples home due to the flooding…the home in question hasn’t been evacuated since (at any other time of year)….good old predictable Consistent summers…
  15. But obviously we are just going to string overheads on the motorways between the variable speed limit gantries they are are erecting all over, fit trolley-bus style pantographs and charge the hgv’s on the move for the final miles off the cables??? Why do we need technology when there are 140 year old solutions out there???
  16. Take a look through the comments on this page https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Camcorders/Keep-getting-quot-eject-message/td-p/8791 , particularly the final one.
  17. I hope not, it’s complex enough as it is and hearing those fateful words “I am from the Government and here to help” do not inspire confidence…
  18. Amazon actually make the suppliers do a hell of a lot of the work in listing items, to upload a new product the spreadsheet template has around 100 columns of data of which around a quarter are mandatory. The more you complete the better the listing. Then you have to submit images to their specifications and named in their preferred format…then anyone else that sells it reasonably legitimately can piggyback off the suppliers efforts…
  19. I do know someone who’s favourite trick in this situation was to drop a gear to create a surge, whilst simultaneously turning on their rear fog lights, giving the driver behind a flash of red light and a random change of speed to consider…
  20. Did you try the Post Italiaen tracking number in the parcelforce website? Overseas parcels often track through on the same number.
  21. Had experience of a similar situation a few years back, with a far larger company than Studio Canal involved as the opposition, and the legals were less than £5k for both their and our legal costs. (It admittedly helped that their side presented their initial claim with all their evidence, and straightforward resolution requirements to clear it all up in the first communication).
  22. Just closed down a 10 gallon tank that I had on the go for 15 years due to a pending house move. Had the majority of different “community” species over that time, tetras, guppies, mollies etc etc. It will be a shame if the tank gets broken during the move and I have to replace it with a larger one…
  23. Absolutely fair play to him as a moral human being, but with some experience will hopefully realise the trainee Marshall’s and medics are likely best placed to help.
  24. Wondering if George Russell could possibly have limped that back to the pits but gave it up to check on Zhou?
  25. “Briefly power tested ONLY. The item has been plugged in and powers on. Due to the nature of the item we are unable to test the item any further. ” https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/374155242529
