Re: The Price of Sponsorship

... riders don't need any of that stuff, they're already hooked. I'd like to get back into it, TBH...was just looking at into it the other day for another shop...and again, the ride they're offering is not that great, but MTB rides have changed a bit over the last few years...so I'll ...

Re: First death in an automated car

There'll be deaths even after they're all automated methinks....failure of the programming to differentiate sh*t. Like you say, it's an aid to assist drivers, not something to stake your life on.

This happened before too....not a fatality, but some wreck in Colorado or some other podunk place.

Other road users who fail to move over when the road is clearly free for them to pull in to let me past, why the feck do they feel the need to speed up rather than pull over......twats!

Re: Turkey

My sister likes it...but then again she's also into elder abuse, property theft, and lots of other cool stuff. She should go back there.

Been unstable for years it seems....always 'simmering' but never really addressed...and like Kwacky says, lots of bad people right in the backyard.

Mallory Park 2016-06-26 - a Nutz point of view

... next couple of laps I had the instructor looking round at me, I might have been a little close (blush).. I soon got my own back though, after another couple of laps the instructor was a bit off line watching the other rider who promptly went a bit wide and there was the gap and that was enough ...

Re: In, out or shake it all about?

Schiphol currently handles about 53m passengers. It's expanding and that work is underway. By the time they've finished they can deal with 70 million.

I've not bothered to look at other airports but I suspect that between them, if needed, they could cope.
