  1. @TomRaftery I've not read the report yet, but I'm wondering what happens in case of car fires or when the "rubber" starts decomposing
  2. @TheFincher we've still got Downing, Cole and Terry...
  3. @GaryWinstanley I dunno, it's not that fast, approx 19s/100m, I'd hope I'm much quicker than that. Doing it 50x is another matter though...
  4. running about 15 mins late, given the chaos around London Bridge that's not bad #southeastern
  5. @GaryWinstanley that's good going, the Bubble's Parkrun record is something similar, suspect I'd get lapped :(
  6. North Carolina to make sea level rise illegal - blogs.scientificamerican.com/plugged-in/201… #Canute
  7. quality of rugby these two teams are playing is making the #rfu look silly
  8. on the face of platform 1 at Chatham there's a gsm-r antennae cable, could do with something similar for gsm/wcdma in the nearby tunnels
  9. Stella advert at London Bridge proclaims it's made from hops, barley, maize & water. No wonder it tastes crap, I'd use yeast not maize...
  10. @ohrockyrocky not a 375, there was a networker (465) sitting there when I went past, might have just been waiting for a signal
  11. wondering why no manufacturer has picked up Gordon Murray's city cars - is.gd/QOgBmk
