  1. I had a well driven Model S pass me in the A30 a few days back. It was a safe distance from the car I front. As it passed, noticed that the driver was looking at the passenger seat with his left arm outstretched. Texting he was. Next time I shall hit the horn to scare the living daylights out of them.
  2. There was a town planner and an architect arguing about their beer glasses being half full or half empty. An electrical engineer pointed out that the glass was twice the size it needed to be.
  3. I think we already have legislation that, in effect, is going to make EVs the only choice in a decade. Reducing every day and won't be long before it is at parity with an ICE vehicle. Have you ever been to St. Just or Sennen by foot or public transport. I dropped someone off in St. Just to get the bus back to Penzance, it was a Sunday in October 2007. No one has seen her since.
  4. That is the difference between how an accountant and an economist looks at things.
  5. Really. Is this sort of nonsense still spouted by marketing departments.
  6. I find having an imaginary sandwich enlightening. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0008p3v
  7. Isn't that just the kind of shit that unimaginative, but pretentious, clients are impressed with, while making everyone else put two fingers down their own throats.
  8. Do one now, it may pay better, and you don't have to get a student loan in Scotland. I got a bursary of £10k when I did a post grad course, was the easiest money ever. I even joked that my academic references where put at the end of random sentences for a laugh. I never once read more than a paragraph of any of the texts. And they wonder why education is in crisis.
  9. Yes, the boxes are the dogs, the trays on the other hand are total rubbish. Also try a local chip shop, the fat comes in sturdy boxes. You may get some pickle jars as well, it is pickling season after all.
  10. That is just sizing the storage correctly, but I do understand that problem.
  11. You can ask to have E7 though. Mind you, with some fixed deals there is not a great difference in price. It is all down to how much load shifting you can do, which is hard with an HMO.
  12. My final year engineering project went missing when the Winchester Drive got switched off at the mains, that was in early 80s. Thankfully it happened, my project was shit.
  13. Was meant to be an incentive to get people off solid fuel and steer them to heat pumps, and, misguidedly, to biomass.
  14. Should be our job, as good citizens, to report any differences. I shall follow the governments line on honesty for the time being.
  15. I wonder how many people who have an MCS system fitted, along with a heat meter, find they don't get the payment promised. There are a fair few PV systems that have under performed.
  16. I have made nothing but bad life choices. “Mistakes are almost always of a sacred nature. Never try to correct them. On the contrary: rationalize them, understand them thoroughly. After that, it will be possible for you to sublimate them.” ― Salvador Dali
  17. Reminds me of that Black Mirror with the killer robot dogs.
  18. Overflowing gutter maybe. Is there water in the lamp, looks like a large drip on the bottom.
  19. I have a scaffold tower you can rent, pickup and return to Cornwall, bargain at 50 quid a month. Special members price.
  20. Has the mortgage company instructed you to pay off the loan? If not, ask a broker what they think. Also, how much is the car really worth, both in cash terms and utility value. You may be better off getting something cheaper to run around in. Don't overvalue your car, it is just a car, a better one will come along next week.
  21. True. @JSHarrislooked into the cost of fitting proper panels for his walkway on the east of his house. The price was high. Just put some on your garage roof, it is large enough, and I think with a bit of clever design they could become 'fake integrated' and look alright.
  22. Mad idea, there is a lot more to it than just a pot of UHU and a soldering iron. One of the main things about modules is that the cells are in a low oxygen environment. And the glass is different.
  23. I take it you don't use scaffold towers too often.
