Appalling really

Impatience.

Disregard for anyone else.

Inattention.

Not driving to the conditions.

Etc etc.

Ive been coming here for 15 years and sorry to say I cant see it ever changing in my time.

nothing goes forever, there's no such thing as forever .......  it just ain't possible, it's not a true meaning ... forever is like, never stops ..... so it is really hard to think the darkness never ever stops.

possibly it's like flying in a straight line around the earth, you come back on yourself. it's also proven now that it's an infinite universe expanding and so ultimately there won't be any star trek and being able to travel between galaxies.

Really tiny black holes should evaporate due to Hawking radiation, but there is about 100 million black holes in the Milky Way alone.

but from what can be observed it seems every galaxy is rotating around a supermassive black hole. I think black holes were first identified because they would emit x rays which don't have mass and I think the first one detected was Cygnus X1 ( a Rush song as well).

There is little point in relying on the experience of persons outside of your province.

In Chiang Mai province where I live three expats I know who applied for the Marriage Visa were visited  at home by Immigration Officials the first time they applied.

This is normal for the first application but I had recently a home visit for a fourth application and the guy was quite strict so myself/wife/witness were really careful what we said.

what about the hundreds of vehicles I see with no number plate?

how to turn one of the most beautiful places in the world into something that looks like everywhere else in the world. the world is turning grey .

As someone doing marriage renewals, after doing retirements, I have to say if you can keep the money in the bank go retirement every time as you get your extension the same day and there's no worry that in a month's time they might find something wrong with marriage extension paperwork.

Where is the big vinyl poster?

Got what he deserved, just a big head who jumped on any arrest he thought would give him the best publicity.

Had a beautiful sidekick a while back and she got shunted out because she was getting too much attention.

careful it could happen to you as well - getting too much attention ....... ????

This is a Reuters released piece but I picked it up on yahoo news, interesting from an outside world point of view. I posted it here as I wasn't sure where else to put it admins.

Can anyone think of a country where an election is held without a clear understanding on the part of the authorities how votes will be converted into parliamentary representatives?

 

Even on the part of the naive and the gullible, this whole thing is beginning to stink.

Venezeula ?

if its on sale we would buy it in bulk and freeze it.

does this mean you're out in the sticks and it's not readily available?.

recently a friend went to renew his licence at Rayong DLT and they refused to accept his yellow book so he had to go to immigration to get a certificate of residence and of course he had to pay 500baht if he wanted it immediately and there's a big poster of big joke on one of the counter windows telling people not to pay bribes. is there any point to the yellow book now?.

why would you want to freeze milk, why not buy packs of UHT milk?. I know it doesn't taste quite as nice as fresh pasteurised but it's way more convenient to store. if any of you Brits miss your Frosties fix try Lactasoy soy in the reduced sugar formula with cornflakes or any other breakfast cereal.

I think the reference is to the aircraft having a limited range of CofG which is further limited in the configuration/flight condition of a stall. Aircraft are usually designed to stall the main wing first. Stalling the tailplane is a "deep stall" and has different characteristics.  Stalling the tailplane before the mainwing is not something I've tried, but I'd expect a severe tail-down movement as the tailplane loses lift. You'd need to ask a Pitts jockey to try it for you. ????

 

Boeing, Airbus, et al are always pushing the boundaries of aerodynamics - sometimes with spectacularly impressive results, but the underlying rules of the science are the same and must be respected.

great answer and I had never thought of that as the way you explained it, I was thinking at the time about the aircraft flying/going backwards into the ground because as I understand it it's almost impossible for an airliner to recover from a stall like that. I have seen many aerobatic videos of aircraft falling through smoke vertically with the nose straight up  and that's where I was coming from with my comment.

I've been reading a lot about people getting problems with the 10 speed auto box, not sure how widespread the problem is as we have a 5yr old Fiesta and never had any problems with auto box even though a lot of people did.

The a/c stalls and gets very nose heavy and can’t easily recover.

Isn't that the preferred way of stalling nose first and the aircraft gains forward speed?. Are you trying to say a tail first stall is better?

In 6 months time I'll be cheering along all the home nations in as many games as I can watch... 

Yep, me too!

I use EPIC browser to watch tv in the UK as it has a built in vpn with a British server. I use tvplayer.com to access the channels although last night I had no problems using bbc Iplayer. EPIC does tell you to restart frequently to stay safe (it is one of the most secure browsers available) so I presume it frequently changes the proxy servers IP address.

this is sadly becoming a daily occurrence, I'm beginning to become immune to these reports now. is there any chance a government will act to increase road safety in this country?

I can't remember how many Chang's I drunk during the game as I was so excited as Wales had been rubbish throughout the tournament and finally turned up last night. I was so drunk I thought England had thrashed Scotland so I must have fallen asleep before half time and an English friend told me the result today ...

I might be biased being Welsh but it seems like England and Ireland relied on a playmaker whereas Wales have played as a team in this 6 nations for good or bad. We're going to miss Warren Gatland and his discipline lead play, looking forward to the world cup in Japan.

As the truck is facing the wrong way he must have spun it, why can't they employ careful drivers to do gas, fuel deliveries etc?
