    [Misc] Retirement

    Are you going to have a fixed day less a week or will you be messed around with that? Do you think you will flex again? Did you do AVCs? Sorry, not meant to be an inquisition, I'm a bit younger than you and probably in a similar employment position having slid down the greasy academic pole in...

    [Finance] Rachel Reeves to reveal £20bn shortfall left by Conservative Government

    £500K is a pretty modest house in my neck of the woods and a different proposition from when I lived in North Wales or Sheffield, perhaps it needs some localisation? I've just received an inheritance on which tax was payable. I expect that I will not have spent this by the time I die so some of...

    [News] Huw Edwards

    I hope there has been some effort to identify and locate the victims. I would like to think that some can be identified and made safe. I don't care what happens to paedophiles as long as it is very bad. Could start by confiscating their wealth to improve child protection and help any...

    [Misc] ADHD - NEURODIVERSITY

    Are you my long-lost twin? I could really relate to that. I hated lab, practical and group work but loved exams at school/university. I'm awful at planning and time management, I used to do my best work late at night, but don't seem to get stressed about things. In recent years, I've come into...

    [Help] New oven - advice

    I've a Rangemaster gas hob, electric ovens. When I bought it they also had an offer on the matching extractor. Might be a bit over your budget now, but you'll have it for another 20 years at least. Been very happy with it, small oven is excellent, grill can be aggressive.

    [News] Just Stop Oil

    It will be interesting to see how these sentences compare with those eventually given to the rioters in Leeds. How many years for setting a bus on fire in a residential street?

    [Misc] Electric Cars

    Bloody festival of speed, traffic queing outside my house this morning. Years ago I was involved in the GreenPower Electric challenge. Very odd watching a silent race around the circuit, but the youngsters competing enjoyed it.

    [Misc] Electric Cars

    In my car, when you first depress the brake or lift of the accelerator it uses the regenerative braking system just like an EV. I think I drive as you describe because I like seeing the battery charge light getting greener (might be blue, I'm a little colour blind). Perhaps, these technologies...

    [Misc] Electric Cars

    I think your argument is flawed. Regenerative braking is still braking and results in forces at the tyre/road interface. These forces will be higher in an EV due to the higher mass, Most of the force is viscous friction, it doesn't matter whether the brakes are used or the transmission, the...

    [Misc] Who taps us on the shoulder and says "time you stopped driving old fruit"?

    That's what I did and I still have it. I say to anyone silly enough to get in it that as I've had it over 30 years my driving must be really good as I've not had an accident and luck doesn't last this long, it must be skill :whistle:. They're the same on bicycles too

    [TV] Astrid: Murder In Paris

    I have recently found this. It's like a cross between Midsommer Murders and Professor T. I like it, it's not challenging to watch and quite sweet 😇
