The brightly painted camera thing came about from when all Gatso's were grey, and local authorities got accused of 'being sneaky'. The argument was made that if they painted them bright colours, made them very obvious, and people still got caught by them, that local authority got to keep the...

Personally I'd leave it, some of the suggestions here, whilst well meaning, could end up causing far more damage than they will solve.

'Craved' as a description makes no sense, do you mean 'curved'? I think the style you go for needs to suit what's most important. With my 5d2, I first bought an Optech strap which was a huge improvement over the standard Canon one. It spread the weight much better, and carrying the camera...

Given that the study isn't proposing that skunk cannabis is the ONLY cause of psychosis, I'm not quite sure what point you're making.

Glad to see another TP thread railroading towards disaster thanks to a hint of politics. I believe the point the Archbishop was making is that it is sad and regretful that the incident happened, and that it's still a raw wound people are struggling to move on from many years later. That's it...

As for dazzling lights, they are brake lights there for a vital function. It'd be more worth while getting riled up against the mouth breathing morons that insist on driving around with front and/or rear fog lights on at every opportunity.

It doesn't work like that, you're applying perfectly logical reasoning because a manual would sit there trying to destroy its clutch or stall the engine, but auto's are quite different. As said, more wear comes from going from drive to neutral to drive again, but unless you're driving some...

From our experience, I'd also consider taking their advice with an open mind. Our NCT group 'teacher' was a wonderful woman, just brilliant. The lady who took the specific breastfeeding class was positively Victorian (she tried to insist all the men left the room, and seem rather surprised when...

They're the greatest band live I've ever seen, from a fairly long list. They consistently reproduce an amazing sound & set, and having seen them live here at Reading, Earls Court and Wembley, couldn't agree with you one bit.

Ask a polite, direct question. You might get a limited response, they are not at all obliged to tell you anything and don't start getting uppity if they won't (I'm not suggesting you will), it won't help.

You can't quantify fun, but do the maths to consider whether you'd actually save money over a period of time spending more money buying a newer car. If you're putting money towards it to save a small amount on fuel, it could be a false move.

If you bought diesel at £1.36, those figures equate to 47.5mpg. But honestly, that's irrelevant because as said brim to brim figures are the only way to calculate this an therefore average out a bit of traffic, putting your foot down occasionally, etc. What year is the car? You say new shape...

Small world, my best mate stays near there, up behind Cawdor. I was a up a few weeks ago for a long weekend, we always make a point of going to The Classroom in Nairn on a Sunday evening before I leave on Monday morning.

It's convenient, requires the bare minimum of signal, quick to type and send, and for all those reasons, if the recipient needs to reply they can do so with the minimum of disruption to whatever they are doing. When I'm leaving a job I can text my wife to say 'I'll be him in half hour' for...

I had an M3 that had been Cat D very early in it's life. I knew the owner, I knew the guy that put it straight, and I had seen the damage. An offset front end impact that pretty much tore the front corner off, needing a new front chassis leg/subframe putting in, everything that hold the wheel...
