  1. Great to know things are moving along Paul.

    Can I just suggest that, if anyone is having a problem getting the site after the move, can they think about using opendns ( http://www.opendns.com ). They are far better than most ISP DNS servers and would mean that Netweather would be available within a few minutes of the changeover. It's easy to use, with how-to's for all operating systems and most routers.

    Hope it all goes smoothly.. :)

  2. [quote]It strikes me that current orthodox transport policies address both issues with a simple and neat solution: clamp down on everyone to legislate for the idiots and also deter car use, with road humps, lower and more absolutely enforced speed limits etc. However I argue that they are simple neat and wrong. They will improve safety but at much larger cost to responsible people than is necessary, and they will achieve a transport equilibrium at a much lower level than is necessary. Many for instance don't want a segragated cycle network because it won't deter car use whereas increasing their rights on the roads will- not good news for me as a prospective cyclist![/quote]

    As always Ian, it's about education. Where I feel the system goes wrong, especially for the younger end, is the lack of an aptitude test. We all know that some drivers should never be allowed a license and I think this would be one way of weeding out the chaff from the wheat. It wouldn't prevent anyone from having a driving license in the long run but would alert them as to what areas need to be worked on in given situations and give someone a chance to work on that before they get a license to kill....
  3. Nobody's peeling my eyes... Ooooh the very thought of it is making me feel a bit queasy.. :bad:

    When I worked at the ASDA, we used to find all sorts in the bananas.. Gloves, spider skins, spiders, grubs of various varieties. We used to send them up to the butterfly house so they could tell us what they were... Well, not the gloves. We worked out what they were........
