The way to improve driving standards in the delivery industry is to fine the drivers and their employers but that would need the Police to crack down on traffic violations across the country, anything else is turd polishing.

If you want to eat at a very good restaurant, walk down to *Pen's Bungalows* next door to KC (not to be confused with penny's not in white sand) you can breakfast there also, but don't expect service till at least 9.30am

Cheers for that, I'll check it out, we have Breakfast included in the deal, her Ladyship is the food buff, after being in the trade I'm happy with chips and egg.

Did the ladyboys take a break on Beach Road???

Only lasted 30 minutes so just enough time to reapply the make-up and check their social media.

We're going to KC Grande on the 22nd for 12 nights, never been before but it does look good, on the hillside with ocean view.

I gave up on the first one and tried the one on the job market, conclusion, I despair for the human race.

IQ has nothing on common sense, empathy and compassion for others.

Brian Cox discusses this very question, and gives a number of possible reasons as to why alien life has yet to be discovered (if ever).  His personal favourite of them rather contradicts the OP, but, as he says, he'd be delighted to be proven wrong.  Because that's what science is all about.

Why haven’t we found aliens? A physicist shares the most popular theories. | Brian Cox

 

Excellent post, I mentioned this earlier but I had read about it only on the web while looking for something else, for the life of me I can't remember what.

Brian Cox explains it all brilliantly imho. Thanks.

LOL, go to Brixton and spout that sort of garbage, easy to pass comment from here, talk is cheap.

Rishi Sunak's main problem is he is the wrong colour for the majority of Tory members, end of.

You could use beef suet (Atora) instead of butter/margarine, makes a nice pastry for savoury pies. Basically 50% fat to flour ratio, and a little water/milk.

Ingredients

• 250g plain flour
• 125g butter, diced, and kept cool in the fridge
• 1-3 tbsp milk or water
• pinch salt

Method

STEP 1

Sift the plain flour into a large bowl or the largest bowl of a food processor. Add the diced butter and either rub in with your fingertips, or, if using a food processor, pulse until until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add the salt and mix again.

STEP 2

Gradually add the liquid by starting with 1 tbsp milk or water, then adding a little more until the mixture comes together to form a dough.

STEP 3

Tip the mixture onto a surface and gently bring it together with your hands, then shape into a disc.

STEP 4

Wrap in cling film and chill for at least 20 minutes before using.

I have no doubt that we have been visited by aliens from another world but they took one look at us and said F/that they can't get on with themselves what chance have we got.

There is also the Fermi Paradox which first came to light in the 1950's, well worth a read.

My favourite theory is whenever a civilisation has evolved enough for space travel they have exhausted the planets resources before conquering the technology required or they simply fight among themselves until they collapse out of existence.

N A A F I, for all the ex Squddies out there ????

As an ex-poker player there is no such thing as bad luck, only variance, anything can happen and it frequently does.

S--t happens

I tried the same experiment with a 620cl bottle of Chang in a brand new measuring jug from Macro, even took a picture on my phone so I could show the result but then it looked so good I had to drink it, sadly my computer skills for loading said picture on to laptop are lacking so I can't show the result.

Good morning to everyone who has commented or emojied (is that a word) my OP. And thank you for your varying replies, correct, off topic or whatever.

In reply to terryq's reply, I have just put my measuring jug on my kitchen digital scales and put water in until 620 gm. It came up to the 600ml line. So yes, my lab standard coffee jug is incorrect. I apologise for any sleepless night anyone may have had worrying about my so called trolling, I am NOT one of those, and cannot compete in that subject with the several  other who frequent this forum.

Once again, good morning and thanks for your concern. 

????????????????????

Having taken the Thai driving test for a car from scratch I can fully understand why there are so many accidents here, a complete lack of training being the number one reason imho.

You couldn't get me on 2 wheels ever over here.

Take a look at who the brother is of the next national police chief. Then you'll understand.

I did, very illuminating, now I get how this all works, I think. Thanks
