Didn't realise they had developed pumps yet that could initialise on continuous running power. Checked our recently bought Hisense fridge freezer and it demands upto 13 amps start up.. (for fridge, freezer is 5) Electricians being King's of belt, braces and a spare means of holding your trousers...

No, you would switch off unused circuits at RCD box. Just leave kitchen or an emergency few points for use. Circuits nowadays must be totally isolated.. (or even lights) (the circuit you tapped into would be only live one, it wouldn't power every circuit, but if you wanted to utilise main feed...

I, m not convinced with all that Flecc. She claims to be able to run fridge with a 1000w inverter. No chance. Start up current for an ordinary fridge is circa 6 times steady state. That raises 2 issues, price of larger one and whether the 12v starter battery could cope.(not to mention...

Bike spec claims 600nm of torque...putting that in perspective... Audi claim their 3 litre V6 tdi produces 600nm..

Not really connected but... I had a couple of hours on an electric trials bike last week. Absolutely incredible, torque insane but control sublime. Had I still been competing I, d have one... Its almost cheating... But no gearbox but it does have a clutch (and I believe a flywheel) For those...

After over flying goodness knows how many countries??

I, d read the lorries had been fitted with very cheap Chinese tyres but priced as Michelin... Difference went in commanders pockets? If top is corrupt it figures lower echelons will be too.?? Saw pictures of many wagons with blown out tyres, reduced pressure in them for muddy conditions, but...

Very good article.

The Russian Air force doesn't seem to have been involved anywhere near to extent it could have.. Made me wonder if they were not that supportive either???

I would hope by now both sides are keen to end this conflict. Not sure that was case for the first week.

Totally agreed. Would be upto Ukrainian forces to get him out.. But did read article there was a force of 120 US Special Forces and 50 SAS training in Lithuania for such an operation.???

https://newsfeed.upday.com/?aid=_dEwTTq8PuQm-yoRqxaPGw-en-GB&channel=all_news&app_name=huawei_assistant&category=trending A bit of good news at last. Fingers crossed. Well done OG, a thumbs up from Polly. Perfectly true aswell.

I believe US special forces and SAS are planning a rescue mission for Zelenskyy... If he gots out, Kyiv will fall and it might calm down... If Putin can have something to show for his campaign it might appease him, but part of me thinks... For how long? Moldova? Poland?

I suspect China is looking at Taiwan as we speak. US stance has been rather ambiguous around their support of Taiwan but if involved in a conflict with Putin would they have resources to do anything for Taiwan? Or do they even wish to? I suspect Xi and Putin have had their heads together over...

I wouldn't want to be in it, but I, d guess they'd figure a way of firing it from outside?? Long string?? Or a pole??

No expert but I reckon that barrel has been spiked.. Barrel is blocked, then fired, ruining it.. Russians spiking their own tanks???

Next few days are going to be very telling. If Russia loses even more troops, which is a possibility, Putin will have to relax on his stance, or even be ousted by his own. If Ukraine loses lots of troops, civilians and towns Zelenskyy will have to make an unconditional surrender. I actually...

We won't even give Gibraltar back to Spanish. And rightly so.. Gibraltar is as British as Curry..

Oh, and Flecc, I, d like a flat near London. Leave keys under mat and vacate. Don't worry about cup of tea but have some tea bags, milk and sugar in flat. Thanks old boy. https://inews.co.uk/news/world/putin-overplayed-hand-ukraine-russia-war-nato-same-mistake-senses-winning-1507678 Good...

Tell the Ukrainians Flecc not us. They made decision to fight Russians because they have infinitely more knowledge of Russia, Georgia an No, it's you that can't. The Ukrainians know their own situation and that of Georgia or Crimea infinetley better than you do. They know exactly what it's like...
