      It isn't really going far or even anywhere at all. On a good day Mars is only 54.6 million kilometres away but space is infinitely big and 54.6M/infinity is zero so it's still where it started from.

      I failed hazard perception until I learned to count to 3 after seeing the hazard before responding. The test is a total waste of time.

      The whole point is to get people thinking about potential hazard situations and driving accordingly. Sadly, too many just get the licence and forget the lot in my experience.

      „The Babylon Project was our last, best hope for peace. A self-contained world five miles long, located in neutral territory. A place of commerce and diplomacy for a quarter of a million humans and aliens. A shining beacon in space, all alone in the night. It was the dawn of the Third Age of Mankind… the year the Great War came upon us all. This is the story of the last of the Babylon stations. The year is 2259. The name of the place is Babylon 5.“ :-D

      the ticket becomes invalid. You can also be prosecuted for the offences of Dangerous cycling, Careless, and inconsiderate, cycling, and Cycling when under influence of drink or drugs! As for trying to enforce some of these though, it can be difficult when say your in a built up area with plenty of alleyways and in a car. But there are the legislations out there though. These might interest you:www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1988/52/part/I/crossheading/cycling-offences-and-cycle-racing

      For some reason, I'm reminded of a train journey home from work some years back.

      I was talking to an English teacher - and commented that she probably wasn't too keen on some of the words used by some of her pupils.

      Her reply was telling - an evil grin, plus a comment: "At least I know how to SPELL them!"

      Can't argue with that.

      7/8lb sausages, and don't do it. Any advantages brought by sky (or virgin or any other) are quickly nullified by a lack of interest in celebrity driven "yoof" telly.

      I remember when I tried Sky. Instead of five channels of terrestrial crap, I suddenly had a choice of over 400 channels of satellite crap.

      No you end up with emails saying how much you can save with this that and the other.

      Plus when you phone them up you get a text asking to do a flameing questionnaire every bleeding time.

  24. Why is it that some people expect to be spoon fed? I get fed up with those who expect others in Eforum land to give them the answer, and are not prepared to put themselves out in any way, shape, or form. An example is not prepared to go and look.

      There are some who feel they are above advice and merely label those helping as "interfering know-it-alls" - these are the people who actually need the advice more than anyone.
