  1. This may help Linas in reaching a clearer understanding 😎 Linguists are wont to think of words as monocellular organisms that can be traced back to single ancestors via mitosis: to every word supposedly corresponds a single etymology. I argue, however, that this traditional model, which can be labeled “monophyletic,” does not always work in the collectively-negotiated and orally-transmitted field of mythology. The polysemic potential of a mythonym can precisely be a decisive factor for its synchronic election and diachronic retention, inasmuch as homonymy and ambiguity, as linguistic and poetic phenomena, facilitate the synoptic convergence of diverse aspects of a mythical figure in a single name. Case in point: Helen. To a certain degree, the ongoing controversy surrounding her etymology is unnecessary: much of it fades away if one posits a ‘polyphyletic’ model for Helen, in which plural etymologies cooperate, rather than compete.
  2. Awe, Profffesssor give us a break 😁😁😁 (and a Kit-Kat
  3. Yes Herbs, I have on the way Goodyear F1 Asymmetric 3 SUV's. Have similar on my XKR so no reason to doubt the satisfaction quotient. Right now my local Halfords have 15% off 4 and agreed to my LOC discount so all up apx 105 per corner, unbeatable 😎 When I picked up my car from the Lexus dealer they had fitted two new front tyres unfortunately they didn't match the winter rears hence my desire to have a matching set so there is a bargain waiting for a Kumho tyre owner even if you keep them in the garage pro tem.
  4. Well as you know you can get an mot 30 days before so they are quibbling about days, so as I said ask Lexus customer care for their opinion.
  5. I shall be having 4 new matching tyres fitted next week to my RX. When I picked up the car it had Kumho fronts and Yokahoma rears, not ideal, they are 235/55/R19 crugen H91 fitted and are approximately 7 weeks old and covered maybe 700 miles and I wish to sell them as a pair for £120 ovno. Thanks
  6. There is no problem getting an Mot from any independent, No doubt someone local could fit you in today if you ring around. 👍Should you get an extended warranty is your business decision. But I think in view of the circumstances Lexus Warranty is showing poor form and I personally think you should refer to Lexus HQ
  7. Following on from John's comment, it's Greek and kinda means "what else could I do"? Not forgetting the shrug of the shoulders as you say it 😎
  8. Very inventive! So the Belgians are too be admired for other than chips and mayonnaise 😋
  9. You must know David that these days no one has a doctor let alone see one. 🤣
  10. If I were you I would certainly go see your doctor. Your current medications are clearly affecting your judgement in being able to differentiate between your actual speed and your delusional one. This is not necessarily a bad thing but will be if you confuse your membership of the LOC with that of the Lakeland Orienteering Club which would mean you are completely lost 🤣
  11. May I point out to both my learned friends that the statement provided "the vibration at 80 mph has gone" did not, firstly, say the tyres were fitted to any particular car, secondly at no point did he state he was the driver of the vehicle to which they were fitted,. Furthermore, you will note that the letter g and h are adjacement on a UK keyboard so I may wish to venture that the wording should have read 80 mpg, ie referring to the wonders of Lexus frugality 😎
  12. If you are looking at MCC's try phoning your local Costco, most competitive cost per corner I have found so far
  13. Oddly enough I believe that there are more horses today than in Victorian times🤔. It could well be a fart, oops sorry meant to type fact 🤣
  14. Great Post 👍and of course electric cars are not about emissions at all. As you note aready a true "dust to dust" balance sheet demonstrates the fallacy of this. As to rising sea levels, cataclysmic weather events and effects etc look up the Global Warming Policy Foundation papers for some non group think information. Regarding our grandchildren well an EV world means total control over when they will be allowed to travel, how often how far. Same goes for the cashless society and smart meters.
  15. Well I think Steve you should live to be 100 years old👍and the last words you hear are mine 😎
  16. Try In Car Connections at Gateshead. I now have BT in my RX and listen toTalk Radio and Swiss Jazz mainly, (gave up on R4 ages ago) via various phone apps. Get the odd signal drop but nothing significant. One thing I am looking into is a viable speed/warning system as I am finding my RX is way too easy to speed in. Any input from the club would be most helpful👍
  17. No, the Paradox of Swiss Cheese that has holes in it. The Paradox being the more you buy the more holes you buy ergo the less cheese you buy. 🤣
  18. Do you mean like Swiss Cheese John?
  19. Every time I see your name I keep reading it as Tailpipe woes 😉
  20. That must be a fantastic photo opp David? Too see students graduate from a horse rather than a dais, I wonder are the horses colour matched to mortar boards and gowns? Do tell. 🐎🐎🐎
  21. Fraid not as they will state you are already getting 50%
  22. If you are content with £66 per month fine but bear in mind using a CC gives you additional Section 75 protection. I used mine for both warranty extension and service plan which as a gold card LOC member gave me a 20% reduction on service plans bringing the cost down to Essential levels
