  1. Yeah they will, but don't do that. Get rid of it in a grown up fashion. and ignore the hi-de-hi parody of Jeremy clarkson that is penistone999.
  2. oh well then please do yourself a favour and don't look into how a potentially viable airport serving Sheffield was run into the ground by purposeful mismanagement, creative billing and accountancy in order to claim that it was a non-viable business so that the owners -who tried their best bless em- could cash in on the contract to claim the land the airport stood on for a pound and then create yet another boring office business park on the runway. I wouldn't do that if I were you. the revelations are a bit angering.
  3. It's not that different from now really, I suppose that comes from having a conservative council. Can you imagine the whinging that would have gone on in the 1800's if Sheffield forum had been around back then.
  4. I like the Audi ones, that moving orange light is quite clear to see. I was following a braking car the other day and only when it actually started to turn did I see the indicator, it was inside the brake lights, which was a ring of bright leds. Just really poor practical design. ---------- Post added 09-10-2017 at 22:42 ---------- The wattage is now the problem, used to be a maximum wattage problem, now a puny led is brighter than the sun. The lights should now be tested in a lumen range but I'm not sure it is.
  5. Builders and architects, project managers etc are very much inclined to cover their own asses(ts). Your right they're very unlikely to disclose any known safety risks, they may simply put the manufacturers safety data sheets or product info in a folder pass it on to the owner and consider it done and adequate. A good example of this is with asbestos, getting anybody who's involved and responsible for designing or building something to state unequivocally that there's no asbestos is nigh on impossible. Even in a modern building we had built 'to the best of our knowledge' is the most definite answer we could extract regarding the lack of asbestos in it. Which is as good as saying 'maybe, er we don't know'. I'm not sure on this, but anybody in a public building, high rise, school etc should be able to get access to the latest fire risk assessment, which will detail any shortcomings by the assessor and will have time scales to remedy any shortcomings and should have reasons included for not doing suggested works.
  6. I'm a fully paid up member of the apathetic group. Luckily for me I'm in the group that will only be mildly inconvenienced by the coming pain, and it's in the post that's for sure. Even more lucky is that I qualify for emigration to pretty much anywhere so I can bolt should it become desirable to do so. But I feel sorry for those who are woefully unprepared for what's coming, because it most certainly is not some redux of the 1950s
  7. I remember you writing that prediction, what, a year or more ago now? Unfortunately your brexit predictions are pretty much on point also. So that's a rosy few years we'll be in for. Can you lend us a guilotine...
  8. just a thought, I consider you to be rather scientifically pragmatic, the 'there is no free will' thread springs to mind, you seem to not get tied up with sentimentality etc. It's kinda odd that you'd let a romantic view of the gene pool,as in the bit your swimming in is somehow more imprortant than the rest. and to let that sway you from the science -that we're all one species so helping the many would be the logicaly smart thing, rather than focusing on a few.That you'd only really care to aid a small part of it after death seems to fly a bit in the face of the determindly scientific stance you often hold. I suppose though you have no choice in the matter anyway. not having a dig here btw, just a thought that popped up. I've not explained it very well,but I hope you get the idea
  9. On that particular point (The triggering of article/referendum) I'm not really sure why there's any fuss about the way it's being forced to progress. its almost absurd because the call for self governed sovereignty would imply you follow your own rules, then those who clamour for exactly that get all pissy when others hold them to account to do just that. Its like monty python come to life. As for the rise of national populism, how far? Hmm, probably just a little bit too far for your average persons comfort I'd imagine. The morons of the world will take it too far, it'll be tempered somewhat by the law and by common decency and will probably come to a halt or a head when the evidence that the Lot of the average man is actually going to **** becomes either too apparent to ignore (or that it obviously will all turn out okay). That will,like most things, hinge and be determined by money inasmuch as how poor people feel and how hopeless they become and where they direct their frustrations. The only problem with the whole brexit/nationalist thing is the unshakeable feeling that so many people have been led unwittingly on the back of one big pile of falsehoods that will only prove to be bad news long term for so many.
  10. Then he needs a new job title doesn't he, The 'nearly delivered driver' perhaps? With that theory he may as well wait at the shop as each delivery takes time he could be spending going elsewhere. I can understand not going all way up a block of flats that's almost fair enough, but not being bothered to go to the door and ring the buzzer.. lazy and disrespectful
  11. Try what happens here in the USA ? Eh? The USA system sucks, and the NHS couldn't be exported to the USA because there's too much profit involved over there. Which is the bottom line here unfortunately, it's being vilified in the twin names of privatisation and control. Whys hunt going on about foreigners cost, doctors cost, blah... The irony being that as the privatisation expands the cost will rise, the privatisation occurring because the money wasn't there to begin with and using that deficit as justification. Yet it will cost more private, so why not just have some political backbone and state this, increase the tax, and actually provide the services needed. But like anything the government does, it will cost far more than it should and still be contracted out anyway. Despair ahoy?
  12. Cellulose?, It's what they make panty liners and nappies out of iirc.
  13. Could we be witnessing a bit of a Darwin Award nomination going on here? Lunacy is the right word... 'What my doctor proscribed doesn't work perfectly, Seek advice, ignore advice and rant.' If it weren't for doctors and the like you'd never even know you had high blood pressure to begin with. If your so clever why are you bothering with the overpaid gp's? Just stick a few leeches on then crush up some rhino horn for your gammy eye. Jesus wept, they need a pay rise, more help and support not bashing from all angles.
  14. Your point being? , why have we got such a large demand for workers then... Unemployment is just an inevitable part of capitalism, it's naivety to think it's just some sort of maths jigsaw where you can put an unemployed person in a job, people are not just pawns who can be thrust where the market demands. There's a link that seems to be ignored between immigration and success. They're intertwined and a lot of people appear to be giving the impression that immigrants are interlopers feeding off the success, when they're actually part of it. And also sign of a thriving country-the demand on infrastructure so beloved as reason to curb immigration would still be there if you halt newcomers because the demand is met as if arises not in advance. If a million people left the service would be cut to about the same level, below par.
