I just assume that Misskool meant what she said. She's a scientist, after all.

If someone pulls out on you at a roundabout, do you?
a) Flash your lights at them
b) Wave your hands and swear at them?
c) Honk your horn at them
d) Stay calm and proceed on with your journey.

So, with option d), does that involve driving into the other car, as you proceed on your way? What's wrong with "e) Slow down or stop, as necessary to avoid a collision"?

There's only 1-2 that the petrol chainsaw has cut up. I'm not sure we have any use for logs hence wondering whether i can just chip them.

I take it the answer is no

Cut into 30 cms lengths, then sell for oodles of money to the folk with the wood burning stoves.

I've just been taking stuff to the tip, you mean i can sell them??

Being at work on a Sunday is very relaxing, sadly I think I could train a monkey better than my technician who can't get this experiment to work

Hardwood is still only about £55 a tonne here. Free, if you foster a few sheep, like I do.

I never did either at our current house (all gas, no woodburning stove), until we bought one of these.....

Pretty much doubles the number of "summer" nights that sitting around outside on the patio is comfortable.

Anyone fancy having a go at part of, the driving theory test? It is not that difficult actually, they appear to have 80% easy (bordering on the ridiculous ) and a few tricky ones.

DD2 didn't have any bother with the theory questions, even though she's dyslexic, but the computer simulation thingy threw her every time. This meant she took and passed the theory four times (as they make you do both bits again if you fail either!)

As soon as they let her into a real car she was fine & passed the practical, no probs. She reckons the computer bit cost her something like £500 in extra tests and lessons to stay up to speed.
