  1. and set up even earlier, in 'The Doctor's Wife' (season 6 - 2011) where it's mentioned that The Corsair always got the same tattoo... whether they were male or female... Think if I've not got anything better to do I'll give the third episode a go... but I'm not going to out of my way to catch up if I do miss it
  2. 66050/66051 were in Euston last night. Sorry for the photo quality, I didn't want to dig out my proper camera from the bottom of my bag RHTT Euston Station by Bimble, on Flickr RHTT Euston Station by Bimble, on Flickr RHTT Euston Station by Bimble, on Flickr
  3. Oh, they'll slate the BBC as well... usually people complaining that the BBC is too left wing, followed shortly by someone complaining that the BBC is a right-wing government stoolie... or not opening comments on other stories...
  4. I have a light switch at the top of the stairs as well...
  5. the points that presumably have caused the issue aren't even 50m from the end of the platform, which the unit has stopped short of...
  6. Of course you are... as long as it's positive! I caught bits, mostly seemed ok, I did like the lipstick bomb... that was quite good. I'll probably tune in next week...
  7. You know, I drove from Sheffield to home (Surrey) this morning, and apart from a bit of speeding and lane hogging I didn't see anyone being a particular dick on the road... I'm sure it's unconnected, but I also had a clear run home!
  8. This story certainly falls into this thread... with the advantage of dashcam footage... the story title is "Van 'flies' in roundabout crash" and all injuries were non-lifethreatening... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-england-norfolk-45515656/van-launched-into-the-air-during-attleborough-crash EDIT: just beaten to it
  9. as if the battery on an iphone could last that long...
  10. Didn't they do that on C4's The Big Breakfast when one of her movies came out? She pulled up, driving a mini...
  11. Though the fish symbol, when translated from the Greek stands for "Jesus Christ, Son of God, Saviour", and in the Islamic faith Jesus is only a prophet and not the Son of God. Because that would make him slightly more important than Mohammad. In driving standards, I did see a mini driver whom I genuinely thought, "you are going to crash and die at some point." Bombing down the A31, turning off from lane two (literally, as if lane one wasn't there), tailgating, undertaking, and then I lost sight of them, so add speeding...
  12. I can think of one solution... though probably wouldn't go down too well...
  13. I seem to recall that though it's a "rest" day, they still put in +120km in because the body can't deal with actually stopping for a day, and then carrying on the following. They will probably be reccying bits of tomo's stage.
  14. If Froome is feeling good there's nothing saying he won't try a solo breakaway, as they did in the Giro... there are still six stages with big climbs (some followed by descents - CF is a good descenter) at the end.
  15. Which are known... as leopards - Leopard (heraldry) - and I do appologise for wondering off topic. As someone who managed about 20minutes of football over the world cup, the banging on about 'it's coming home' was really getting on my nerves. So.... 800s...
  16. Technically, heraldically, those are leopards not lions... though that doesn't scan so well in the song...
  17. It's a long race and anything can happen, so having both up there is just great for Sky. If one breaks on one of the many climbs to come, the other is in a great position to take advantage. And the Stage 17, 65km road stage with two Cat 1 and a HC climb to the finish...
  18. It was a test designed for the Tesla to fail... you can see how close the car being followed came to the stationary "car" when it changed lanes, giving the Tesla only a few seconds to bring the car to a halt... which it couldn't (though it did come to a stop inside the space allowed, plus one car length). But youtube is full of videos of human driven cars doing exactly the same (or often just driving into the back of a queue of traffic)...
  19. well, I think the actual line was something like, 'we have to give enough time to allow any person trapped between the barrier to escape (or be let out)'
  20. you don't even need an excavator... in 2011 an old woman in Georgia cut through the fibre optic cables that carried the internet into Armenia... cutting it off from the world wide web.
  21. First up, on unusual metals, coming towards Pirbright Junction, heading towards Waterloo when Reading was closed for refurbishment and earlier this year at South Stoke
  22. Though if I recall, that was because he did admit to being the driver early on in the proceeding... HOWEVER, I do think the law changed in the last couple of years so just throwing the letters in the bin isn't the best option any more. Certainly five plus years ago there was nothing the parking enforcers could do because their "contract" was with the driver, and not the owner of the car, so unless they could prove who was driving, all they could do was threaten the owner with court/bailiffs (who often had the same address as the parking company) in the hope they'd pay. I think one of the conditions of bringing in regulations is that they can now chase the owner, in the manner that council street parking tickets have to be paid. So if you have the evidence that you shouldn't have been charged, it's best to appeal, but be prepared for it to be denied, because they will push to get money off you as they're vultures. Not the same situation as that was a permit holders only parking.
  23. That does remind me of that old insurance claim joke of, 'Coming home I drove into the wrong house and collided with a tree I haven’t got'
  24. is it any more significant than that bridge built by Brunel over the GW main line that's giving them clearance problems??
  25. Well, to spread the blame of luxury car/poor driving a bit wider, I was very nearly side swiped by a Mercedes Benz driving into Oxford this morning, after they drove past the queue of traffic turning off the A40 and then tried to pull in our lane at the lights at the turnoff. He was being followed by a BMW who was doing exactly the same thing (I could tell, as he WAS indicating).
