  1. I believe your ticket for a live performance... is just that. Doesn't allow you to record it. Not sure how it really differs from recording in the cinema..... sort of the same principle.... you paid your money for a seat...
  2. Alles klar. No troubles either way. 1,840 miles in the little Citigo.... loved the French & German motorways..... they've great etiquette.
  3. FFS.... Bad Credit Specialist - This Car From £106 Per Week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  4. Guess I'll be passing Strasbourg on the Autoroute.... Just bought my Vignette for the Swiss Motorways...... what a rip off... valid from 1st December to 30th November..... grrr.
  5. I like the ambiance that rag and bone men bring with their horse drawn carts (in the fair city of Bradford). These guys are working and keep in to the side of the ride. Less amusing are the horse driven sulkies, exercising (trotting) up and down main roads.....
  6. I'll know for next time. Plus it saves 450-500 miles of UK driving.... so another £65 of petrol. £120 accommodation. £75 ferry.... Yeah so £265.... £90 for 8-9 hours "extra" driving..... Next time... I'll give it a go.
  7. Bit steep for me Hull-Rotterdam... >£400. Ferry return £75. Plus staying with friends in Kent...
  8. Apologies... tight on space.... 10 days holiday in a citigo....... Well it's Sunday driving down for me... 2 nights in Baden-Baden, then 2 nights in Switzerland (nr HQ of Rolex) and then 3 nights in Cote D'Or.
  9. Figured it out... can still do individual countries.... all sorted.
  10. Hoping to get some advice. I'm driving from Calais to Baden-Baden next Sunday. I've seen 2 routes on Michelin Routeplanner 1. 412miles 6h40m £35 tolls A26 Calais-Reims A4 Reims- Strasbourg Then on to B-B 2. 420miles 7h20m £9 tolls Calais-Lille-Namur-Luxembourg-Metz-Strasbourg-BB Any advice.... heard route 1 is a bit boring scenery wise.... Any thought which will be better traffic-wise or roadworks-wise?
  11. Coming later to the debate..... Winters work better than regulars below 7C. If the average daily temperature is 7C. I know my winters are effective & earning their keep... I'm on the road arounf 7am & 5pm...... when it'll be colder....
  12. I've the Navigon one....Premium70/71 Purchased NAVIGON® FreshMaps EU 44 But didn't download all the countries.... due to file size! Not a great customer offer....
  13. Has anyone tried. 2 years ago I downloaded a couple of countries on to my PID. Now you can only download Europe... which is too large for my PID memory. Will this be fixed if I get a microSD?
  14. Thanks for the feedback.... very weird "legal" situation.... Guess I'll just pick up the GB sticker, headlight stickers, triangle and 2 reflective jackets..... Last time I was driving in France was over 10 years.... did enjoy the France Autoroute etiquette..... keep to the right, unless overtaking.... not as many "road captains"...
  15. Wondering if anyone can advise? Apparently you are required to have a breathalyzer. But you won't be prosecuted, only fined? Fines 11 euro? Breathalyzers £40?
  16. AMS2 on a Bentley soft top..... Alan Sugar's runabout?
  17. Quite amusing. https://docs.google.com/viewerng/viewer?url=http://static.guim.co.uk/ni/1432313704619/List-of-Offensive-Suppresse.pdf
  18. There's been a few similar cases in the press.. Perhaps.... rent strike? http://www.hertsad.co.uk/news/st_albans_tower_block_residents_evacuated_after_water_leak_updated_1_3844840 http://www.theguardian.com/uk/the-northerner/2012/may/09/westpoint-flats-leeds-water-cutoff-mainstay-hilary-benn http://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/news/latest-news/top-stories/more-water-woes-in-the-pipeline-at-leeds-city-tower-block-1-5870914
  19. Epic photos.... great colouring.... I think you went somewhere far "hotter" than the Maldives....... hope you haven't come back with a long lasting glow....
  20. If the Government & Industry is so sure that it will be safe (and the insurance industry)............. they should just buy indemnity insurance....
  21. Dangers of Fracking. 1. London is subject to rising groundwater, due to loss of industrial demand. Aquifer 40m to100m below ground level (AOD (m)). 2. Thames Water has an aquifer recharge scheme.... based to the north-east of the city. http://www.thameswater.co.uk/your-account/15541.htm 3. Fracking survey activity is to take place at 2 miles and not less than 1 mile depth. This is 1,600-3,200m depth. Well below the potable water supply aquifers. 4. Aquifers are commonly unconstrained by impermeable layers. 5. Some "science" guff..... 2 of the co-authors tutored me at college... http://nora.nerc.ac.uk/16528/1/RoysetextRevised110511finaltext.pdf 6. How do fracking nasties contaminate poter water supply aquifers? Most likely failure mode: failure of grouting seal gap between casing and bedrock. Less likely failure mode: reactivation of faults leaking 3,000m back to the aquifer. Questions...... 1. Regulatory Bodies.... Is the EA more effective than the US EPA...... may be.
  22. That's good going..... best I've done is 420-ish...
  23. 4 million gallons isn't a lot of water.....18,000 cubic metres or 9 Olympic size swimming pools... Thames Water supplies 2,600,000 cubic metres a day (2,600 Ml/d)
  24. No needs to have all that power.... they just drive over the target area.....those archaelogists are "amateurs".... vibroseis is normally deployed in hydrocarbon surveys (ker-ching) and it quite well established, they'll filter all the close sub surface noise out...
  25. Don't need explosives...... Vibroseis.... size of a road planer/sweeper... periodically stopping and gives the ground a "massage".
