Zzzz...

I'm surprised all the custom firmware source code is not already in github or something similar. Admittedly that doesn't help with hosting the forums or RS, but it at least makes it possible to restart from scratch elsewhere.

Last I heard af123 was too busy to do much here. Was that still true last time anyone had contact?
 
I used to think I was within the average age of members here, but I'm starting to think I'm towards or even at the young end. I'm 56.

According to this: Risk of death by age and sex
you have a 1:112 chance of dying each year (but probably nearer 200).
I'm in the "life, the universe and everything category" - maybe similar to the chances of death of the forum? :)

OTOH my risk of death by sex is pretty minimal these days :rolling:
 
Parking cars. What else...?

(It's just struck me how long it is since I've actually been in one (those multi-storey or underground jobbies, not outside a supermarket etc.) - probably Westfield, Shepherd's Bush nearly 3 years ago.)
 
As it happens I was in one in Cardiff yesterday (and use one on my regular Bournemouth trips anyway). I was merrily on my way to my preferred car park only to find the traffic system changed and I wasn't allowed down the route I expected due to "buses and taxis only". Bugger. Possibly due to crossing the new cycle lane (what use are cycle lanes when they won't get used the moment the weather turns bad).

I ended up in a different car park because I got funnelled in that direction and it was easiest. That confused me a bit too: it's been made "secure" for some reason, with automatic shutters on vehicle entry and exit (not just a barrier), and locked pedestrian access requiring the parking ticket barcode to release it. It's vitally important to get a receipt every time you go to the loo.

I forget which planet you need the receipt. We wouldn’t want you to have bits surgically removed to make up the difference, would we?

The. (lack of) use of the cycle lanes near me still p’s me off. Newly created and yet I’m still dodging cyclists on the pavement. The local council must have expected this as there are detector rings in the cycle lane and the pavement. Does anyone do anything about it? Of course not.
 
Had to laugh. I was standing at the relevant junction to survey the situation later, and an emerging bus turned too sharply and took its side out on the raised kerb-bollard-island thing! I did that to a hire car once, where a village green had low rocks around its perimeter, and also to my own car at a petrol station (smashing up the teardrop side skirt on my Mk6 Escort GTi).
 
Its even more annoying where you have detectors round the car which detect kerbs, but not slightly higher obstacles. This is the case with my Leaf - but, fortunately, when collecting from new another owner was querying why hers didn't detect such obstacels, and was informed it was a known weakness!
