Oddly enough Steve that's how you start off tying a western wild rag buckaroo knot 🤠

The clue is the word audio 🤣

Paul, I am with you every kick, but when you speak of Dylithium are you referring to the very interesting properties of Dilithium, Li2, which is a strongly electrophilic, diatomic molecule comprising two lithium atoms covalently bonded together. Li2 is known in the gas phase. It has a bond order of 1, an internuclear separation of 267.3 pm and a bond energy of 102 kJ/mol or 1.06eV in each bond? .[ This is far more interesting than choosing the preferable shade of paint to observe whilst it transients from a non coagulant state. 😎

Yes, but do you have Woody Herman's Blues in the night on your audio 🤗

Think we sort of strayed a little David, but let's get back on track with this; This royal throne of kings, this sceptred isle, This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars, This other Eden, demi-paradise, This fortress built by Nature for herself Against infection and the hand of war, This happy breed of men, this little world, This precious stone set in the silver sea, Which serves it in the office of a wall Or as a moat defensive to a house, Against the envy of less happier lands,-- This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England. 😊

Not sure if you can remember the days of The Tape Exchange but this was a great idea which unfortunately succumbed to the CD and the rest is digital as they say. But I recall getting a tape from some M6 services one time on a trip North. It was an old News Quiz with Barry Took, well, to cut a long story short, I had to pull over at one stage as I was not in control of the car such was quality of the scripting. Humphrey Lyttleton and I 'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue often had a similar effect. 🤗

Fabulous Richard 👍

🤣. Frank Sinatra said he felt sorry for people who didn't drink because when they got up in the morning it would be the best they were going to feel all day. I feel just the same way about the clip you just promoted, that is, feeling sorry for anyone who can't appreciate the glorious, elegant, succinct humour. 🤗 Don't tell them your name Pike.

🤣🤣🤣. For the most peculiar reason David chaps in my local equate my affectations to Sgt. Wilson, haven't the faintest idea why? 😎

I know I am a few days late but for some unfathomable reason this pic would not load but today it has 🤔 Anyway, I took this two years ago on the Longest day. Its a field outside my house and for a few brief days we had this glorious sight to behold. And for other people, like me, who have reason to remember the Longest Day for other reasons I hope that it brings you a smile and inner warmth. 🤗

That explains it Alan, and here was I thinking it was String theory that provides a theoretical framework in which all particles, from photons to quarks, are one-dimensional strings as opposed to zero-dimensional points.🤣

It is truly disturbing to me that if an average Lexus owner contests a current, in vogue, thesis then it's clearly a consequence of their age and not based on the fundamental precept of all science ie scepticism. It's 2021 yet we are constantly being told, not advised, told, to believe in the opinions of so called experts despite a mountain of empirical evidence to show that they are consistently wrong. Witness CV-19 forecasts and the untold consequences that will arise from this malign manipulation of evidence. I should be more concerned about this in the short term than all the polar bears becoming extinct. And I repeat that no one denies the weather changes, always has always will but to attribute an "end to the world" scenario purely down to anthropogenic causes is simply not true. Us, more worldy wise, experienced through age, Lexus drivers know this to be so and question the drivers of such thoughts and their agenda. But for younger heads imbibed in propaganda will not, so when, as an example, lock downs to support climate change come along they will believe that to be entirely reasonable.

On January 17, 2020 Montana Public Radio reported Scientists Predicted Glacier Park's Glaciers Would Be Gone By Now. What Happened? Last week, Glacier National Park announced that it will be changing signs warning that its signature glaciers would disappear by 2020. The park says the signs, put in more than a decade ago, were based on the best available predictions at the time. In terms of the predictions, the latest that I've seen actually comes from a group of Swiss researchers. So I would have to look at their results in more detail than is possible from looking at the paper they published to be able to say definitively when all the glaciers are are hosed and no longer present, but certainly by 2100.

That's from all the Gaviscon the drivers take 🤣

Almost certainly the same USA conglomerate behind it 🤔

The joy of knowing 😎

That's a staggering discount albeit limited stock ! Who wants to be a dealer when your supplier undercuts you like that? But the Vauxhall boss was sorta right with an entry level corsa circa 15 and E 30k. Be interesting to see what depreciation looks like in the future

Well Pete , I am intrigued that such an educated, wise and clear-headed thinking person (ie a Lexus owner) is even aware of such a scurrilous publication let alone read it 😁 For the record I am for - The War Against Terror As I imagine most sane people are, But am against being suffocated by this continuing avalanche of "experts" who wish to comment on every single aspect of a person's life

You must have a good supply contact Colin most corsa Ev's I have so far seen are thick end of 30k?.and existing car companies have huge sunk costs in buildings plant machinery etc that simply just can't be written off just like that. And these companies are still making immense investments in this country to support the ongoing commitment to the ICE in addition to electric

Isn't that just the way it was "sink or swim? Never was a better school than the one of hard knocks amazing what a clip round the lug hole did to focus on the job in hand. When I was learning to drive I had a habit of leaving my hand on the gear knob! This was cured by the instructor hitting it with a piece of wood 😱 Oddly enough I never did it again nor did I need counselling for the trauma of hurt feelings 😢 otherwise we may have ended up as cable knitters not jointers Herbs!

Hello Sergio, of course, I am merely reviving what used to pass as an English sense of humour but I fear no more. 😭

Being so competent in reversing are you Italian by any chance 😉. And your comments are a bit harsh Herbs. I wonder how many people would be able to pass a test if it were in a RX450H and not a Ford Focus, not many I bet. Regarding your sister I also willing to bet she doesn't read these columns otherwise be very wary of the next cup of tea she makes you 🍵😂

Ev's from a governmental point of view have one aim in mind - to be able to control a populations individual mobility in the same way smart meters will control your energy consumption and money in a cashless society, pretty bleak really. The fact that the climate changes goes along with the fact it always has and always will. The travesty is the way anthrogenics are blamed to support this "green" fundamentalism. For example, Co2 emissions when water vapour is far more critical and some eminent scientists argue we are, in fact, in a carbon deficit.

No, it's just not about sustainable ideals, here is the owner of Vauxhall motors " Carlos Tavares, chief executive of Stellantis, forecast a future where only the rich could afford cars because making them emissions-free would ramp up prices. “I can’t imagine a democratic society where there is no freedom of mobility because it’s only for wealthy people and all the others will use public transport,” he said. The pandemic has underlined the public’s dependence on cars for “personal mobility”, Mr Tavares added. Car manufacturers are confident about making vehicles that can meet environmental goals, he said, but questioned whether that could be done without prices rising significantly. “How can we protect freedom of mobility for the middle class who may not be able to afford €30,000 for a battery electric vehicle when today they pay half that for the same product with a conventional engine? “If we make mobility only affordable for the wealthy people, we will not have a strong impact because we will have a fleet of old cars which will continue to emit,” the executive said. Mr Tavares, speaking at a Financial Times event, hit out at governments for forcing the automotive industry to switch to electric cars rather than consider other low carbon technology. “The scientific decision on the choice of this technology has not been made by the automotive industry.” He warned that the dictat could be counter-productive in terms of air quality because vehicles are likely to be 300kg to 500kg heavier because of their battery systems, meaning they need more energy." Last para very enlightening

I know exactly your situation I sometimes have the same and as Keith has just implied practice is key and what we have both tried to point out (perhaps it could have been worded better) is that if the camera assists in a very narrow confine then, together with the guide lines on the display reversing over a longer stretch will not be a problem where keeping the car parallel to the hedge or verge is the key skill.
