      I never exceeded 45mph while driving a car before passing my test. Only used top (4th) gear once. Waste of time. Worst thing is having to stop on a Motorway before a n average speed camera because your average speed read out since the last camera is 60 and the limit 50

  4. There are n sweets in a bag. Six of the sweets are orange. The rest of the sweets are yellow. Hannah takes a random sweet from the bag. She eats the sweet. Hannah then takes at random another sweet from the bag. She eats the sweet. The probability that Hannah eats two orange sweets is 1/3. Show that n

      Answer: it takes one man 3 hours to dig the hole...with a JCB. Can you tell I hated maths? My son's good but couldn't do the sweets question.

      Well you can go to the box shifters and buy in bulk. Maybe a wee bit cheaper

      Sadly Virgin have stopped their Heathrow to Narita flights - they used to be pretty cheap. Personally, I'd try and fly into Haneda if you can - if into for some monorail milage!

      Can't comment on the individual clip (why was someone filming and why so many jump cuts) but I certainly know far more more people who were going to vote 'No' than 'Yes', so the final outcome is not a surprise as far as I am concerned: it reflects the views of the majority of people that I know. That said, I know that I don't associate with a true cross-section of Scottish society and may have found a different picture if I lived elsewhere in Scotland or worked in a d...

      There is more than one job of "piling up" yes/no's. Was she checking void/spoilt ballots? Did she have two votes that need some clarification? whatever she checked each individually then placed them.

      Need to wait until the carriages arrive, I bought them without actually thinking about the differences between HO and OO, lets hope they look fine as they are really nice carriages,

      It depends what material you use and how good the designer is, also you get the satisfaction of having designed it and customized it and if you get it printed as a kit then building it as well.

    3. N15class

      So you can print without any ridge lines that need filling or sanding down?

    4. Twright

      If you are meaning on a curve, then if you put enough sides on then there won't be ridges (or only very slight ridges at that)
