    Thank you .. . And regards to all. . Health wise ..I would like to say .. never better ..but that would be unreasonable . The good news is I haven't had any extra stents done in over a year..but since there are 11 , it would be hard to find places. But this time last year I finally got COVID...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Just went back onto this site after a long absence or abstinence..take your pick. The statement about the Lisbon referendum is a typical UK response to how a democracy actually works ... Ireland has to hold a referendum whenever there are major changes desired. That was clarified a few decades...

    extraordinary attorney Wu, develops the autism awareness brilliantly over successive episodes..and how it affects everyone around the sufferer..it is well worth persevering with it. On one level it's almost Ally McBeal legal soap opera , but there are depths which that crass show could never...

    A real weird ..but brilliant Korean drama series is "Extraordinary Attorney Wu" ..on Netflix very interesting because of the different culture ,but also extremely engaging because of the subject matter . It has a lot to say and is very clever in saying it... I don't want to spoil it by saying more.

    EU ICE ban postponed indefinetly.

    If Trump fails to get the GoP nomination, I expect Biden will bow out. He has to keep saying he will run , until he decides not to. Biden feels s he is the only person who can stop Trump.. I don't know how true that is, but the minute he says he is not running, he is a lame duck.

    Its worth watching ,and I see these E fuels as necessary for aircraft... But there are major competitors .. ammonia has everything going for it , and can use the electrolyzed Hydrogen, with nitrogen as the carrier. Even simpler is methane which uses carbon as the carrier for hydrogen..and...

    EU ICE ban postponed indefinetly.

    Have ended my doddering around and pulled the plug on a 2021 ID3 with 5,000km on it and all bells and whistles. Getting the home charger on Monday . It is surprising how much the small incremental advances in things like lane assist and blind spot radar build up over a decade. With the Home...

    “I just think time is moving on, opportunities are moving on. “But there’s one thing you always need to remember is not to annoy people too much in life. “If I was a northern politician today, I wouldn’t want to annoy Washington, I wouldn’t like to annoy Westminster, I wouldn’t like to annoy...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The DUP have indicated that they will vote AGAINST the Windsor Framework .. No surprise there... On one level I expect them to privately hope that it goes through, and by voting NO SURRENDER , they keep their scruples intact . And allow themselves the luxury of denying democracy in NI. It has...

    Logically we should be continuing to use all the working ICE cars ,even if we don't build any new ones , until they disintegrate into rust and scale. The majority of the lifetime embodied energy and pollution is already spent on them.

    I think SuVs are the way to go ... Especially if driven slow ...the upright stance for the driver is a godsend..even the Leaf is halfway there.

    While I haven't as yet made the leap into buying an EV, I am thinking that the Japanese approach by Nissan and Toyota has a soundness. And that simplistic bans are just simplistic.. They recognise that the world will not be able to go fully electric in one fell swoop, and there will be laggards...
