That fella thinks and speaks very well.

Here he is in Embra, of all places:

They lose capacity due to age, and also if they're left fully-charged for too long. Seems that for Li-ion, if you've got more than 4.1V/cell it degrades a lot faster. Most electronics with built-in batteries tend to be shipped with about 40% charge. Yes. These things do have to be nursed. They are ...

The pitchforks are coming.

The UK was created by Scotsmen in two stages, approximately a hundred years apart. First, there was the Union of the Crowns. A Scottish king rode South across the border at the head of two armies. There was a military army which was little more than a bodyguard. And there was an army of clerks and l...

The silly sods should've known that the Ukes/NATO would bomb an easy target like a school.

Would an English registered car on the Scottish side of the road be required to have GB UK plate?

To answer an earlier question, 300V is a typical battery voltage. It's based on the rating of the available power semiconductors for driving the traction motors. As technology improves, battery voltage may well increase, because it reduces the resistive losses for a given power level. As for buying...

The idea of an 'independent' Scotland depending on the Bank of England to manage its currency was nuts. The idea of a hard border was also nuts. At least one part of the county lines runs down the middle of a B-class road. Drive Eastwards on that road and you're in Scotland. Drive Westwards on the s...

UP, can you book a slot/ position on those chargers? No. First come: first served. Much like a parking spot. Enforcement of such a scheme would be counterproductive. People who didn't have a booked slot would simply wait until they could start charging, thus blocking the charger space in the meanti...

How did ancient age Scotsmen do it?

A roasting hot sporran musta had some kinda side-effect.

The morale boost to the British people was probably worth a bit.

Same-same the bombing of Afghanistan/Iraq/Libya et al.

RahRahRah!

Bollocks to the victims of the bombings. We are the victors.

That's the way it works, folks.

We ended up at the local vet for a side-by-side artificial insemination on Monday afternoon

It's for confessions like that is why I visit this forum.

Some funny stories can only be told in vowels and growls.

Water passed through a hydro electricity plant is deficient in cations and anions and is therefore deionized and no longer pure natural water. Buggah. Can't we electrocute it, or summat? Mebbe have a Catholic priest mumble some Wopshebop voodoo stuff. Innonnennyewubblyebubblyehobblyepatrick. That s...

One is deeply thoughtful on that one, Rico.

It's one of those vids which one wants to watch again and to forward it to other thinking people.

I'm doing both.

An "Ear Health Clinic" in my case.

Three vowels in one test.

Buggah!

Don't you get tired of repeating the same 'witticism' all the time UP?

I'll count the vowel sounds of what you say when I hear you utter them.

One; ...; ......; etc.

I remember when Soonderloond was a grass airstrip, not a jap car factory. A vicious upward hump in the runway I remember. I almost came a cropper there, taking off in a very heavily overloaded ancient 172 (the type that had no rear window and had a hand-cranked flap handle) and a decrepit engine whi...

Only two more Prime Ministers until Christmas.

We've had three Heads of Government and two Heads of State in less than two months, so Crimbo will be a bit of a rest, I hope.

This is not Italy, y'know. We wouldn't even know who to surrender to.

Never mind the WEF stuff. He's an Emeritus of the Vampire Squid. Those guys never 'leave' the Squid, they simply bury themselves into the target country. The Vampire Squid operates less like a Decapodiform than as a fungus. It projects its spores into the target organism and spreads its mycelium und...
