History is all a matter of perspective
I give you this link to my Blipfoto entry of today

And the response from a lady in America to something I discovered was much more recent than I thought
"Fascinating!!!! I read the information points. Unbelievable how resilient and creative early civilizations were! "

Who is she calling civilized?...................:cool:

I agree, but don't like Clarkson. Someone like Peter Cook satirized boors by pretending to be one, Clarkson lack the intelligence (all that seem to lurk behind his irreverence is unprocessed unenlightened angst which is unenlightening). I find it bloody hard to find independent critical reviews of evs (what car best so far). If ones to buy one there's many inexpensive sweet spots in the market (used i3, ioniq) that go unrecognised
Ah, those were the days

In its very early days, it really did have some car focus of relevance - in 1977. (Had to look up the date.)
Depends what you mean by relevance, they'd introduced lots of new fangled stuff like hydraulic brakes and synchromesh on the gears.

There wasn't even a starting handle in the front of the radiator grill any more.

well if you are paid per jab what could possibly go wrong, even if you have all the jabs already, loads of ppl have been told to get the booster via txt even tho they have had it weeks ago.

it does not make any sense at all o_O

an ICU stay cost about £1700 a day and a typical covid case stay in ICU for something like 13 days. That's a lot of jabs..the govt is doing the equivalent of com-ops in warfare - dumping thousands of leaflets saying "lets avoid a catastrophic battle if we can.."

You weren't having one anyway so WTF??
Bit like a vegan moaning about M&S selling new sausages.
Unless ofcourse you, ve come to your senses.???
Besides looking at job vacancies it appears they are looking mainly for "marshalls". Anyhow, giving intro muscular injections ain't rocket science...
But it does imply this dependance on regular jabs looks more permanent than temporary.. Which is a bigger issue.

Do not fold spindle or mutilate - except:


I found this one of the most pleasant to watch little videos in a long time. Super simple. No big story. But in its own way, fascinating, and soothing. And not far away.
My wife thinks I have finally lost the plot, for just over a week now I have been looking at Watch repair videos, I have no intention of ever fixing a broken watch but the level of precision required to do this kind of work is amazing. I must have seen about 6 or 7 of these videos now, mainly done by the guy in the one I have linked below. If anyone is as sad as me and prepared to give it a look let me know what you think.

Think you are missing procedures here SW... You can't have vaccine whilst positive for Covid, I think you have to wait 2 weeks after a negative test., so perhaps your idea might have merit.

Noticed tonight in Telegraph... Claiming AZ reduces death rate for Omicron at a better rate than Pfizer /Moderna.. Suggesting EU's refusal on AZ is causing worse problems..???
