I hope you've heard about the latest New Labour initiative - the 'breathing tax'. I think, getting to the matter at hand, that we have the serious problem in this nation of the police (in particular Tony's namesake at the top of the Met, Sir Ian) dictating powers to the Government (see...

Which reminds me of the ponciest name for a coach company, that does sound more like a coffee - Oxford Espress anyone?

Accepted - I hear bad things about TTF all the time, and I'm only the admin. :lol: I'll be honest, what caused me to bite was the fact that RUK hardly gets a mention 'over there', so there is no need to start any animosity nor damage the possibility that a member may cross-post between forums...

Comebacks (known in my parlance as ripostes) straight from the Eternal Traveller's mouth: Mature: "OK, I'm a trainspotter. At least I'll get to my destination before you've even finished looking at a timetable!" Less mature: "OK, I like looking at trains. Maybe that's why I've taken an...

Erm, hello, some of us are members here too, now if you're done dissing an alternative forum that caters for a different audience, kindly jog on. Next...

Be-jai-sus... is that for vinyl? I've got some of the earlier ones!!! (scurries off to eBay, then forgets one of the discs has "White Lines" by Grandmaster Flash on it... :lol: ).

Have to admit it's always on in the background, and I think it is Bromley on the District that Walford East takes the place of. Am I correct in thinking those 95 shots were filmed at East Finchley?

Think you'll find it's Ronnie Hazlehurst... but what a show! Mambo no... 125 all out (like the Aussies will be at the Oval next week). Vera Lynn: The White Cliffs of...

Currently queued up... Basement Jaxx - Good Luck Kate Bush - Experiment IV Keane - Under The Walnut Tree Scissor Sisters - Mary (Mylo Remix) Da Hool - Meet Her at the Loveparade 2001 Faithless - God is a DJ (full mix) Electronic - Getting Away With It Just the usual late-night...

No, but safe, sensible selection of appropriate speed for conditions is OK. Applying your railway analogy, the East Coast Main Line would be running at a top whack of 75 or so. Case in point - some roads were built to Motorway standards, yet the powers that be insist on 40 and a camera every...

As the Chinese foodseller says on The Fifth Element - "Hah that's just bad luck!" - see Plod doing it all the time on the Mile End Road.

'Twas on the proper news before then. However I did watch Top Gear... :D

Say you weren't driving... and get done for contempt of court instead :twisted: :lol: . I don't mean to sound unsympathetic, coming from one who's had more than the odd close shave getting flashed on the A406 (no tickets though, must be divine intervention), but it's your lookout to know...

Southern did their bit today too... DMI broadcasts wherever I travelled on the network, so I assume it was the same everywhere. I'm tentatively looking forward to the transformation it's going to bring over the next few years, to a part of London to which for save the DLR putting in a station...

I'd have to say if you're considering cable runs that long then whilst it may cost more in the short term then a wireless ADSL router would be the way to go, with wireless NICs in one or more PCs. Think how much easier it'll make the networking if there is more than one PC in your household, or...
