    Approved used Mazda NOT

    These are a lot easier to find, bad wraps, poor taste cosmetic modifications, write off repaired. I found it a lot easier to buy a performance car which is standard specification and in good condition compared to the 2 ltr versions of the same model.

    Approved used Mazda NOT

    A couple years back I drove half way across the country to see a approved used Alfa described as excellent bodywork. I could see 10m away without my long distance glasses on that it had been in a crash and not repairs. Fracture stresses in the paint and a chunk of the lower lip missing...

    20mph residential speed limit (replacing 30mph)

    This is what I do if there isn't anyone in front to help moderate my speed in 20/30 limits, 20mph is the minimum speed in all the cars I've had.

    Your bad driving encounters

    I'd agree to that on the following conditions: 1) Fully integrated cycle networks are installed across all densely populated areas 2) All integration points of the cycle network with the road network have equal or better priority then the vehicle route. If they are going to continue with...

    NHS=Negligent Health Service

    2 years on from moaning in this thread about needing to change GPs due to not being in their catchment area and discovering I don't belong in any catchment area, I think I may have struck gold with the one that let me sign on anyway with today being the first time needing to use them. I didn't...

    Best route from Essex to Hampshire over Easter Weekend

    Lies. I did a 10 mile journey last week and it took over an hour.

    Road Cycling

    100k done. Winds weren't the end of the world (few strong gusts pushing us about) but most of it (there and back) was a crosswind rather then directly into the wind. The rain was a bit miserable and dangerous with the rubbish rim breaks. I did set a new 5 minute power PB up a cat 4 hill and...

    Road Cycling

    I wouldn't look too closely into the rem/deep/light sleep patterns from a watch. HRV is very personal so look at it relative to your own history.

    This was meant to say for the first group ride of the year. The quiet and blue skies this morning are a trap!

    This wind is making me nervous for my first group ride tomorrow (100km). :o

    Split Air con

    I considered it but the compressor adds heat in the room, they exhaust hot air which means they force hot ambient air back in the room from the environment and are noisier. There are some units that take air in from outside but they don't appear to be a thing in this country. I've seen a few...

    Split Air con

    It might make sense to have 2 outside units in that case (particularly with the high output for the kitchen.)

    Split Air con

    Are you in a expensive area or anything particularly difficult with your install? The first two seem very expensive compared to other quotes and the 3rd seems a little cheap? Does anyone use their air con for heating, instead of gas central heating? The ability to heat just the space I'm in...

    TV Licence Super Thread

    Foolish on the GF, but iPlayer needs to have a better pre-verification then a check box. It is asking for people to to be ignorant. It's not asking much for them to add a sign up check of putting in a licence number or something similar. Alternatively, if you want to beat this check, just put...

    TV Licence Super Thread

    So you can sign up to watch iPlayer with no verification of licence and watch BBC content, which you need to pay for separately? And there are no checks that you are entitled to do so? And they then fine you after the fact? It would be outrageous if a private company did that.

    Prague and Budapest + others?

    I went to Budapest and Prague about 10 years ago. The exact route was to Vienna then Salzburg then to Budapest. I don't recall there being a direct train to Budapest and so we went via Vienna which we didn't get on with so took a detour for the night to Salzburg which we loved.

    Time flies, perception of time as we age

    Last week I remember looking at the time at 1pm and looking back at it moments later and it was 3, at this rate, I can imagine in my 50s a year feeling like a month. I remember as a kid looking forward to days far in the future where we had an event planned and it taking ages for that day to...

    Car theft - is it out of control?

    Useful when you have push notifications to alert you, prove the theft for insurance/police and to get a timestamp. To get an ID, they aren't likely to help at all.
