      Referendums (Not that one!)

      Well, my boss when I was an apprentice had lived in Australia for a handful of years, and told me that they get a lot of spoiled papers. Your story wouldn't work in Aus as they have proportional voting where you need to rank the candidates in your order of preference, so every box needs a...

      Referendums (Not that one!)

      In Australia, where voting is compulsory, I understand that there is a high rejection of voting slips because people show their disdain for the candidates by spoiling their voting paper. Easiest way to do this is to select every candidate.

      I think you will find that those whom you have elected have abrogated the responsibility to the planning department.

      There have been plans to have an F1 street race in London, and also the Formula E series was looking at having a street race near Buckingham Palace.

      I have more problem with the sun in side mirrors when it is behind me.

      Driving and Roads

      I much prefer the interior mirrors where you flip a little lever to tilt the mirror and leave a plain glass at the angle that lets you look out the rear. I find the "automatic dipping" mirror in my Mondeo never seems to dip at the right time.

      EPG Error – How Do They Do It (Quest)

      I always wonder what sort of annual review the people who do this work get. It can't be 'top of their game' surely.

      Driving and Roads

      Every automatic requires this AIUI. haven't found an auto that doesn't, but then my selection of auto vehicles has been limited over the years. Manual cars in USA require you to put your foot on the clutch to start it, legal requirement apparently, apart from it being a good habit anyway.

      Driving and Roads

      I think the one time I watched one of those was when motorway cops stopped someone speeding - and it wasn't just a little bit over the limit, from memory it was approaching ton-up. The speeding driver turned out to be a police driving instructor. I wonder how much instructing he got to do...

      My automatic gearbox provides a nice amount of engine braking when in 'sport' mode.

      I would suspect this to be the case, the environment under the bonnet is one of the worst for temperature extremes, moisture extremes, and general vibration. I think I am glad I drive a diesel ... :cool:

      Start Up Fails When HDD Connected

      Eek, I wouldn't be happy with the length of those leads. The way they are bent leaves them very close to contacting the cother components on the PCB. As a bodge to verify that it solves the problem is one thing, but I would want to clean it up somewhat to make it safer from vibration causing a...
