Re: Jerry can recommendations

I bought a 20l can in B&Q in 2003 when I bought my first house. It's still in surprisingly good condition. Can't remember what I paid for it but they're going for about the £30 mark. I went for a metal can because the Plastic ones used to Swell alarmingly when the garage got hot in the summer.. ...

Is that maybe the difference between Auto-Testing and a Auto-Solo ? the need for the vehicle to be road legal ?
Autosolos are forward only, autotests go backwards as well

Re: Baltimore Bridge Collision

What's the weight of something like that Dave - 100k tonnes and more ?

Even drifting slowly, that's a hell of a force on the bridge and once it starts to go, all structural integrity is gone and it will always be a total collapse.

Putin'll be blaming the Ukrainians... :roll:

It's pretty shocking footage to be fair - how long after the impact did the bridge collapse ?? I suppose it's fortunate it happened at 01:30 in the morning when traffic is lighter..

Watched an old one on Saturday - Memento Mini-dinny is a big Nolan fan and he's ticking off some of the older ones (Insomnia is next - which I didn't really rate) It's very clever in the way it's constructed with the 2 timelines moving in different directions meaning we experience a similar lack of ...

Jesus - just back from a day of funeral stuff for an old friend to read this. I thought it was just normal ‘women stuff’ she was going through.

Not sure that all the fuss was over to be honest. 6 different versions of the word house ...
