Do you not have an equivalent of "the highway code" or "rules of the road" etc that's regularly updated and distributed or frequently mentioned in the press to keep people informed of regulatory changes?

You'll probably die while being t-boned by someone else sharing the same view as you, it's strange that your country's road safety record is far worse than any country that has been using roundabouts for decades.

I try to do as much as possible myself, saves a fortune, it's really only anything on the cars that requires a lift that I farm out, but plumbing, electrical, carpentry, welding and fabricating etc I'll do myself, usually as it's a good excuse to hide in the workshop away from being found other things to do.

The NAS is an ancient Qnap TS-209 Pro II a friend gave me after the psu and cooling fan died, this is the first time it's failed again in about 10 years, it's only used for backing up photos and stuff from a car owners club I run, so nothing fancy.

I'm hoping to have a day off from having to fix broken things, so far this week

Monday and Tuesday - taking all the guttering, soffit trims and soffits down on the front of the house because a small furry thing nibbled the wires to the outside lights.

Wednesday - replacing a dead capacitor in the lawnmower.

Thursday - replacing the dead cooling fan in my NAS.

Friday - fitting two new glow plugs in one of the cars (I'll be glad when it's replaced with an EV).

Yesterday - stripping down the dishwasher and cleaning load of gunk out of it that was stopping water going in.

Quite a good cover version of that was done by Bruce Foxton , former bassist from The Jam, only made it as far as a B side though.

It's just the Tories trying to cling onto the last voters they have, it won't be long until the boomers that vote for them have shuffled off their mortal coil leaving just the 50% of GenX that vote for them and the small smattering of Millennials that lean right.

Wasn't it supposed to be free from 2003 onwards?

Curly bread, old fella with lashings of Brylcreem and a sticky plastic table cloth, pretty much sums up 1980s Brighton

Sat down to have a quick look at The After Party the other night, several episodes and several gins later I realised I've now watched too much of it for the wife to watch it unless she plays catch up while I'm out.

Android TV can be installed on a variety of cheap boxes if you don't mind getting a bit nerdy and flashing a custom firmware
