      Just out of interest, do any of us know for a fact the absence of mechanical failure of the car or medical 'problem' with the driver? Glad to see the RMWeb accident Investigation professionals are on their way to a speedy conclusion!I look forward to seeing the official report.

      In all honesty, that thing probably does qualify as "something wicked".

       

      However, if you've ever wondered what really evil splinters can be like, try working with certain types of carbon fibre matting - I've still got painful memories of fitting strain gauges to that stuff in a former job, over a decade ago.

    Getting a new phone is supposed to be a pleasurable experience. iTunes makes it the most frustrating experience from hell.

      I tried the phone to phone Bluetooth option. Both phones just sat there next to each other not doing anything - I guess my old phone was just too old!

      Yeah, this is part of the make everything past yesterday obsolete. I have an old iPod classic. Works as good as when new. But can’t be uploaded with new tunes/playlists unless an old version of itunes is used. And my (newish) 8+iPhone needs the latest version.....grrrr.

    Roller gauges - so called because they roll off the workbench at the slightest provocation.

    "Last chance to claim a free BRM Workstation" - but I do modelling to escape from work. Can I have a free BRM Playstation instead?
