It's the NAM-X HUV and was first presented three years ago. It's a Moroccan company and it has yet to go in to production.......and probably won't as it will never make any money. It's been done to death in these threads but hydrogen is never going to work for consumer vehicles. Commercial vehicles, maybe, but even then the cost is prohibitive. @JBChiangRai is our resident hydrogen demystifier.

Wow, thats incredible!! How much does it cost to fill up? And where can you fill it up? (Answers: a lot, and nowhere). And it isn't the first one by a long way. They haven't taken off for a reason.

No worries.

Be ashamed??? I was replying to a poster that disrespectfully criticised the deaths by saying sailors should be able to swim. I pointed out you can clearly see people falling (ie. they didn't just drown because they didn't know to swim). Now untwist your knickers please.

Eh?

You can clearly see people falling from the rigging from great heights. "Would expect them to know how to swim". Jeez.

Ah, the old "nail in the coffin of the tourist industry" favourite.

I love it when people take the time to post with useful and pertinent information that will definitely educate or help others. Excellent post, and thanks.

Actually that's a good idea to do it at the same time, but unfortunately I can't as we have kids in school who'll need picking up unless we get super lucky with the queue.

Great, thank you.

Thank you, and yes I will report back.

Well apart from the dodgy one still under construction that collapsed, all buildings were earthquake proof. There's a great video of a structural engineer explaining earthquake resistance and how no building can be said to be earthquake proof, but they can be earthquake resistant. He said they are designed to not collapse and to keep people safe, and likened it to a car. If you have a big car crash, your car gets crumpled but you remain safe and walk away, then the car design has done its job - no one expects to have a car crash and not see damage, as long as the occupant is safe it has done its job. In most cases it can be repaired, in severe cases written off. But no one died. Same as buildings - if there is an earthquake but people remain safe the building may have some damage that can be repaired, it may have damage that can't be, but it kept the occupants safe. Someone posted the video on here but I can't find it - it was interesting and enlightening.

Thanks Rwilem. And yeah, I guess I just resign myself to spending a few hours there without an appointment. But good tip on timing, I'll do that. Yeah, if doing it without an appointment then 29th or 30th makes sense or maybe just do it later in June before my first trip. I just generally don't like cutting it too fine but as you say I can always come back in the next 1-2 days if anything else was needed. Appreciate the input. And I will reply back here afterwards - I hate it when people don't: the more info people share the better people can be advised in the future and we all benefit from that.

Thanks Jack, appreciate the help. I will discuss with them during the application and will report back in the hope it can others in future. Actually just remembered I will be there on Wednesday to get a CoR. Who could I discuss this with if I wanted to ask for advice? I am assuming not the CoR counter, but would the people at the initial reception be able to advise? Or is there someone else you can approach for general advice? I guess the initial reception but you can feel they are angsty when people take up their time as there are always queues behind.

On my first renewal last year there was no home visit (using CW).

Thank you. So to do it 45 days early I would have to go soon but have to resign myself to a lot of waiting as online queue is not available until 12th June at the earliest. But that's ok if that's what I need to do. A day out at CW is always a joy. I have a multi reentry permit now, so if I get an under consideration that takes me beyond 2nd July (my current expiry) would I need to get a fresh one? And is the under consideration period always 30 days? Or does it vary? If it was always 30day that would make it easy to plan, but from your other post it seems it can vary, so this is my concern. My main concern is if the date to come back after under consideration falls when I am away.

Looking at the online queue it seems my choices are somewhat limited. So I guess the question now is if I book 16th June what are the chances my date to return after the under consideration period would fall when I am away on my second trip, and what would be the consequences of that?

Hi all, I am currently on a non O extension based on marriage. It expires on July 2. I have two trips I need to do. One from 23-28 June. One from 7-10 July. Non negotiable as they are not holidays that I can move. When is the best time for me to apply? Should I do it soon and try and get it all complete before the first trip? Or should I do it in between the trips - which can only be 30th June or 1st July and that doesn't give much leeway if there is any issue with paperwork? My main worry of doing it early is that I'll get an "under consideration" stamp, right? (Not sure if that is every renewal or only the first - this is my second). And if the stamp date to come back falls when I am away I imagine that would be an issue. If I apply in between my trips and get my "under consideration" can I still travel on the second trip? (Not sure if you can leave the country when under consideration). Hope that explains everything, and thanks for any experience or advice that anyone can share. Just trying to plan this and really not sure what's best. In visual form:

Always with the negative miserable comments. Do you expect commuters to sit on the train randomly grinning for no reason?? Do you do that??

That would be nice!

You did notice the sell by date though, right? June 25. Normally they have at least a year on them. (Yes, I am sure they can last beyond that depending on how they've been stored).

Oh dear, someone is confused. Tagged a warning for Ralf001 but directing it at newbee2022. I think it's time for your lie down. And anyone who speaks on behalf of the mods when they are not one is, well, I won't say, but no one liked the teacher's pet.

Do you do this for white people who were killed by police? The man is dead, unlawfully murdered. And you think that's funny?

Stop baiting. I don't suffer from guilt for anything I've done. Now run along. And no opinion means "no opinion", I assume that's his mum in which case I would say it is nasty and insensitive and you're implying she is uneducated. It is definitely unpleasant and I would have a very low opinion of anyone who thought it was funny. But I am not Googling to find out who it is, hence no opinion.

If he didn't haven't his neck knelt on for nine and a half minutes whilst already handcuffed and subdued, if Chauvin didn't prevent medical assistance from being rendered, if he had just collapsed and died whilst sat in the back of a police car I might agree.
