  1. Please repost in the vacancies section of classifieds.
  2. Badgers, like otters, are a species of giant weasel.
  3. Yes! 21st is the last market this year: first market next year is 22nd March.
  4. Off topic, but: why has 'Deerobe' morphed into 'Darbees' in the latter two quotes?
  5. I don't know about this brake lights/tailgating thing.....why not just pull over and let them go away?.....However, regarding 'dazzle': every car I've ever driven has a tab on the rear or bottom of the in-cab mirror; if lights behind are dazzling you: you click the tab and the mirror adjusts to give a sort of 'sunglasses' reflection, solving the problem. Isn't this facility universal?
  6. The height indicator that must by law be fitted in the cab is manually adjustable. (there are several types) The lorry is a flatbed. When unladen or carrying a load that is lower than the height of the cab: the indicator must be adjusted to show the cab height. When, as in the photo, a load is carried that exceeds the cab height: the load must be measured and the height indicator adjusted accordingly by the driver. It is the drivers responsibility to know the height of his/her vehicle and obey the relevant signage. (Particularly the big, round, red bordered height restriction signs in advance of the bridge. It is an offence to pass these.) The driver is 100% at fault.
  7. Hello As someone who needs to drive for a living, this 'there are 2 types of single yellow lines' thing is both startlingly novel and of some material importance to me. Can you direct me to the relevant parts of 'The Highway Code'; the various 'Road Traffic Acts'; or 'Croner's Road Traffic Law' which elucidate this 'different width of single yellow lines' thing please.
  8. My bold. Could you explain the reasoning here? An analogy: Let's call our African nation/nations "discodown". discodown is presently paying 3% on loans of £100,000: £3000 per annum. The money is all gone: dd is just groaning under paying the interest out of current income. If dd were to default and declare bankruptsy then they would have £3000 p/a to pay as interest; e. g. on a £100,000 loan from fr8neck finance inc. If they can pay it now then I know they're good for it: don't I? If I look closely and see that the loans were taken out by the previous tyranny (The discodowns malignant ex-OH Party), then a default won't really reflect on the trustworthyness of the present discodown: will it? It makes sense to encourage a default (from the fr8neck finance inc. pov), and displace the present 'lenders'. Doesn't this seem reasonable?
  9. Hello Rich. Zamos' comment was a play on the various uses of the word "shortsighted". Starsparkle used it in it's sense of 'lack of empathy/imaginative scope/mental comprehension.' Zamo played it back in it's literal sense of 'visual impairment': in a thread about fake/real disability claimants. It's just verbal humour; wordplay.
  10. From the piece: How does the " Fr8neck Back-to-work Centre Ltd"(FBC) get paid? Is FBC supposed to 'compete' with FBC (Charities) Ltd? Or is FBC© just a tax efficient conduit of extra funds for FBC? I can't see the 'customers' rushing round to offer their dole money for the service, and why would an employer pay a bit extra to FBC on top of the wages?....that won't happen. So that just leaves: the taxpayer. I can see I'll be needing some nice city centre offices, lots of computers, desks, chairs, top quality coffee machine,and of course a brand new Range Rover (so I can get in to 'serve the public interest' if it's a bit icy; or wet; or something). I shall certainly need some investors to take a shareholding in FBC, and they'll want to have wives and children. These can 'donate' to FBC © pro rata to the shareholding and my Cousin can take a small salary,process the tax rebate paperwork, and pass on the rest: return to source, profit attached, via dividends, drawings etc Donations from non-shareholders are just free money of course: they'll help to cover 'costs'. I'll also need a stable of employers to put the customers 'on the books' for the minimum period in some menial-but-necessary post, then turn them out as 'not really capable, though they tried very hard': in exchange for a small consideration. After they're blown out by Emp.1 I'll move 'em to Emp.2 and so on: replacing them at Emp.1 with my next, payment-by-results earning, 'successful placement'; and carry on 'till I have a nice merry-go-round in operation. Everybody wins!! I see no problem with the Tory plan at all: privatize profits, socialize costs.
  11. Perhaps he's a stoolie and the secret police want him 'activated' speedily.
  12. Here's a site. Imperial units are slightly more than one third of a cubic meter; so if you've paid the same price per unit as previously: you've been paying about 1/3 what you owe.:D You need to work out the kw/h really as it is the same either way.
  13. A rather strange test: try it and see... Test
  14. Why should I 'look up the definition of human'? Was this program transmitted worldwide? ....To all those foreigners whose populations have vastly expanded since 1945?...unlike ours which is reducing. If not then the idea that it is aimed at or about 'humans' is a fraud. It is aimed specifically at people here. No-one else. Do you suppose the idea is genuinely being suggested as 'no humans' when this suggestion is only fired at one small group of them? I don't watch telly. I neither know nor care about the proponents. It is the fact that the BBC choose to play genocidal propoganda (according to the OP)at the British public that interests me.
