There are 10 types of people, those who know binary, those who don't, and those who didn't expect this joke to be in ternary.

Alan Titchmarsh gains street cred! North Korea's state television channel has censored a BBC gardening programme - by blurring out presenter Alan Titchmarsh's trousers. Central TV aired a 2010 edition of Alan Titchmarsh's Garden Secrets for its morning audience, but made sure that viewers could not ...

Looks very Netherlands, but not Amsterdam.

Well, apparently they did, but according to Sly News, Russia's ambassador to Poland did not attend the foreign ministry in Warsaw today despite being summoned to do so. Arrogance personified. A diplomatic note will be sent by another means, the foreign ministry said. So if Poland stationed some ant...

Here it is folks the list no one knew that they needed :)) https://www.danwoottonoutspoken.com/p/the-fifty-worst-people-in-the-uk Fortunately I've never heard of several of them until reading their names on that list. I do wonder what the left-wing equivalent list would be, then we could have fun m...

I guess the terms "drone" and "UAV" have collided a bit. To me, that's big enough to be a UAV, I consider a drone to be more the small quadcopter type of thing.

Didn’t have to scroll down very far before the inevitable stop the boats comment from a DM reader, because that’s really going to solve the countries problems

Does the UK have problems with elephants arriving illegally in large numbers in boats?

Only wearing one glove today. The weather forecast says it's going to be cold, but on the other hand it may be warm.

I thought they'd had something similar for the Shuttle, given its lack of other obvious escape mechanisms - down the line, take cover in a shelter and hope to survive the pressure wave of the blast.

I always thought the big plus of a jet was the lack of moving parts. Just that one big spinny thing (occasionally two) in the middle, and a few valves. Chucking in a load of gears is just asking for more trouble, although I guess they're using the record of turbopros as a starting point for putting ...

Independent today: "Spending a lot of time on the computer may be linked to an increased risk of erectile dysfunction in men, researchers have said. A study of more than 200,000 men indicates that for every additional 1.2 hours spent using a computer, the chances of experiencing erectile dysfunctio...

A stingy old lawyer who had been diagnosed with a terminal illness was determined to prove wrong the saying, "You can't take it with you." After much thought and consideration, the man finally figured out how to take at least some of his money with him when he died. He instructed his wife to go to t...

My flock of geese included a Canada-goose cross-bred. Nice, intelligent bird.

"Nice" and "Canada Goose" don't really belong in the same sentence.

We had a contest at work for the best neckwear.

It was a tie.

The top speed is about 44kph/27mph (same as the guy in the video) on the level. I would not want to go faster anyway because of the brakes, but it is perfectly stable at this speed. I managed to exceed a 40mph speed limit on my bike some years ago. down the hill into the Stroud Valley on the A419. ...

Morning folks. Blazing sunshine. Would love to bring you a VC10 John but they trashed them all I think.

Duxford has one. Not that I think they'd part with it.

I think the London Underground has had regenerative braking for a long time, way before it became fashionable for cars. A train coming into a station could dump energy back into the power rails. It had limited use originally, but it looks like they've had all sorts of upgrades in the last ten years ...

There's already a maglev train in Shanghai. Way more fun than taking a taxi from the airport. Once I'd figured that out on my first trip there, I used the maglev and metro network to get to my hotel on subsequent visits. It was cheaper than a taxi, too, and faster.
