Technology saves the day- tldr, bike crash, calls sos, sends gps to police. cause of accident, our shitty roads

I'm surprised all bikes don't have this to be fair. Merc Cars have had this for years

Starting IT Welcome to Derry tonight...


Not bad - obviously spent a bit of cash on it - look and feel identical to the two recent movies. Story's a little weak and there are some unnecessary, forced references (*) but I think overall, it'll be worth a watch.

You'd imagine Stanley Uris ...

Are plod not allowed to hit these vehicles ? There was a few opportunities where the chase car could have hit or pinned them to stop them ?


The commentary includes them asking if they could use tactical force - they also gave a running commentary of the risk level.


Ah right - watched it ...

A couple of others...

Kevin Costner's The West - I may have mentioned my love of a Western ( :lol: ) and liked to think I was pretty knowledgeable about this period of history but I learned so much about the transition of the US after the War of Independence.

New Shetland is off to a strong ...

It's absolutely brilliant Speedingfine... I've seen the Northern Ireland one but Iraq is next on the list

On the subject of pulling out of sales, I've always loved how my dad gave a bras d'honneur to a buyer who tried to gazunder him when selling my grandparents' old flat. The guy buying was a cash investor, but had been cocky, giving us the runaround with delays and drove a really hard bargain too ...

OK, gotcha...

Rather unsurprisingly...





Are you saying that in Hong Kong, if the buyer pulls out, they lose their deposit but of the Seller pulls out, they have to return the deposit plus 5%

Remember in Dave's case, the axel stands are to protect the underside of the car from damage if it drops on him...

How does that work ??

Not going to help here though - Mik keeps the deposit from his buyer but loses his deposit up the chain to the house he was buying.

Seems fair, all things considered.

That about sums it up Carlos.

I thought Ireland were pretty much outclassed overall

Yeah bias aside, I really didn’t think it was more than 50/50 contact. Arm’s weren’t moving for a tackle but they’re in a defensive position and I’m not sure there was head contact.

Barrett was stunned by it though…

My Brother was at it - Seats right on the catch-fencing - said the noise was, at times, terrifying :lol:


I'm only slightly envious!

There was a shot of that chicane from the back, watching the cars land and almost peel the rear tyre off the rim! :o


From the vids he sent me, it's absolute ...

- But I thought getting out of our cars onto Public Transport was easy...

In our place, they do 3 years working a rotation in everything from HR to IT, Customer Services to Sales and Marketing. They get paid decent money and end with a Chartered Degree in Business Management from Cranfield University, make connections and have Zero Debt. I think Barclaycard in Northampton ...

In the end, we took the Park and Ride (which was a faff in itself)

They're introducing Free Transfers into town from Oxford Parkway. They had big signs up and also, put a plastic cover over the "Parking and Bus" option on the ticket machines so we bought parking only and waited. The bus driver ...
