My new car came from Martorell in Spain and was built to my own spec. I got it to see how quickly I could make myself broke and it worked...I am. But unlike Donald Trump not bankrupt.

Good chart Woosh, I'll hang on to that. I used the term "tolerance" but I suppose a more popular description of difference is "product variation". In my own game of Photography camera buyers in the US when purchasing an expensive bit of kit buy two, test them both then keep the best performing...

Same thing here..I made a stand out of old timber even though I have one of those big metal repair stands I got from LIDL. Mines a bit different in that it supports the bike by it's bottom bracket, that means I can run the motor and turn the back wheel. Amusingly I can set the display to cruise...

I came across a web site a while back that did some tests with bike motors using proper lab equipment. The idea was to check claims manufacturers made for their power output in Nm. None of the motors actually delivered the power the makers claimed, Bafang - Bosch - Yamaha none of them, neither...

And he's unanimous in that..

Thatcher should have resigned, it was her decision to scrap HMS Endurance that sent the wrong message to the Argies and sealed the islander's fate.

I still say he'll go , but later rather than sooner when BJ finds another nutcase.

What did Trump say recently "I'm the President, I can do anything I want ..I don't have to ask Congress"

Strange thing is I'd bet if there were elections in the UK & USA tomorrow Boris and Trump would still get back in.

What would really concern me was carrying back home a table, four chairs and a wall unit :confused:

Did I hear that right 20 mile queue for IKEA ? I think there's one about twenty miles from me so in theory I could step outside and join the queue right now....that's convenient.

While I think of it anyone see how many of the rioters were using City Bikes to get around on ? Apparently they steal them, rip out the GPS trackers then use them to ride from block to block organising the next move.

I was up till 5am this morning watching it all unfold on CNN, live unedited action all the way.

Going back to what Oyster posted about the importance of clean masks. I believe that was the main concern of scientists when they said (and some still do) that masks are a bad idea in many parts of the world where hygiene just does not exist.

It's our soundwave slumming it on his day off...

The more we read on this virus the more confusing it gets. If you are asymptomatic you can carry CV without showing symptoms, still it could be that you are but they're not detectable. For example it's been discovered it can in some cases effect your eyesight, but if that's a bit dicky anyway...

But are not all health care workers tested anyway one way or another ? A neighbour of mine who works in a care home had a test yesterday, she's ok health wise the test is just standard. As I mentioned before on here the place she works in is CV free. As I understand it all keyworkers, which I...

Was going to reply to a post but it's disappeared...odd. I know you can edit a post but can you delete one too ?

Another story from the world of retail. Daughter's boyfriend recently "invited" back to work, all usual social distancing rules applied. Then a staff member informs everyone his mother a health worker is CV positive, he himself is in the clear. Tests all round while boyfriend now back home...
