In a world of fuel efficiency (and range) being a prime seller ... I cannot fathom why low profile saloons (and estates) are not more of a thing. Surely a lighter bodied lower profile vehicle has less drag and therefore better range and efficiency. Surely.

We're just marketed and, more importantly people are still buying, these bloody great big heavy SUVs with bugger all space inside.

The thing that says "click to rate" and has the pointer arm off the chart in it's default "rest" position.

Right, it's right there

Performance art.

Anything in the UK carried for the intent to harm another person is a weapon. I do lots of low impact woodland/forest work. Axes, saws etc. in my bag. If I carried them to a Birmingham park to murder someone they would be weapons and not allowed. If I carry them into a woodland I have a contract to manage, they are tools and allowed.

These extra rules/laws don't change the above. The swords could still have been outlawed as weapons by the legal system.

But... doing this means the perl clutches can sleep easy knowing "something is being done"

It's almost like the disunity with europe is part of some targeted effort

You don't do it by appeasing then and allowing them to invade neighbors.

We were making Russia a geopolitical ally. Russia decided to invade Ukraine. Appeasement met with backstabbing.

The bully that starts the war doesn't need to be appeased to stop the war. They need to be defeated.

History tells this is the only way. Appeasement just drags the way out until the bully bullies again.

Checkout fill refill, who do powder in a big container. When it's empty, you send the big tin back to them and they refill it send it back to you.

There are some great examples of cycle lane design out there. And some atrocious examples of cycle lanes that have been built. But that's a separate rant.

If we had a quality cycle lane network, we could have adapted that to support "more than walking, less that driving" lanes without much issue.

The earlier we invest in this new class of highway the cheaper and easier it will be.

Got a pair of rescue dogs ... neither of whome can cope.

The younger one is OK with the first couple of fireworks. But once they become more consistent he gets anxious. I think we can train through that though. We've only had him this year, so this is our first experience.

The older girl. As soon as the first bang goes off she's a shaking mess. Refuses treats and training just causes her more anxiety. She will completely ignore loud bangs on the TV, so that training method on other days doesn't help.

The job of every guard is to look out for threats.

And this "threat" has already had an exception written into the Security staffing standards. So, despite what that individual thinks, the item is not a security threat and the staff member is in the wrong.

Apologies have been made, and training hopefully improved.

Funny ... I only know about the protest because she was there and arrested.

Funny ... you're bothering to promote her acts by commenting on social media about it.

Go sit in the corner rude boy.
