His man-servant tells me that he may well come with a feathrlite rear protection mat in situ though he may equally well come without. He assures me, however, that with or without protection his performance is always the same. I have to confess, though, that at my age accidental spillage is not a problem.

Three or four inches, I agree, can make all the difference when entering from the rear but a false bottom can be purchased at very little cost. I don’t see it as a problem.

Do you know if his clothing is easily removable?

A word of advice CL ......

You really need to be looking at his consumption and his emissions (linked, no doubt!). Also, have a close look at his spare tyre and whether it's underslung or not. Whip out his dipstick and check for debris before giving it a wipe and plunging it back in.

As long as May doesn't become the new PM. Horrible woman!

Personally, I'd prefer Leadsom or Fox out of the bunch, but I'd rather not have any of them.

US opens investigation into Tesla after fatal crash

Quote

US authorities are investigating the first death potentially caused by self-driving technology.

The driver of a Tesla car died in Florida in May after colliding with a lorry.

Under scrutiny is Tesla's Autopilot feature, which automatically changes lanes and reacts to traffic.

In a statement, Tesla said it appeared the Model S car was unable to recognise "the white side of the tractor trailer against a brightly lit sky" that had driven across the car's path.

The company said the crash was a "tragic loss".

The collision led to the death of Tesla driver Joshua Brown, 40. The driver of the truck, which was pulling a trailer, was unhurt.

A video on YouTube, which appears to have been posted by Mr Brown, shows a dashboard camera recording of a previous incident, with the car steering to avoid a lorry in the next lane.

He wrote: "Tesla Model S autopilot saved the car autonomously from a side collision from a boom lift truck.

"Hands down the best car I have ever owned and use it to its full extent. It has done many, many amazing things, but this was one of the more interesting things caught on the dashcam."

Afraid I can't help you here CL. The most important items seem to be missing from the Tech Specs, such as the number and location of the cup-holders. Yet I imagine it would still be a good buy. (See what I did there! ).

Until someone comes up with a way of convicing those of Islamic persuasion that there aren't 72 virgins awaiting them post-BOOM, then we'll just have to accept things as they are. Without the promise of an Afterlife, most of the world's religions would crumble to dust and we'd be better for it. 

What rain, Eggy? Climate change will fettle that! 

'Burn baby, burn!'  

Good advice CL, but there's no way I'd cut the cannabis production for sprouts, but you've given me another idea ...

When cooking sprouts, it's common procedure to cut a 'cross' shape in the stalk to aid cooking. Now then, if I inserted an amount of cannabis into the 'cross' and then cooked them I would be able to start up a mobile Sunday Dinners service that would be the envy of the country! A similar tactic got Coca Cola off the ground, so why shouldn't it work for me?

A short document, but another 'must read' ...

Everything you are about to read are facts that the mainstream politicians and media very
carefully avoided mentioning during the Referendum campaign.  It’s very sad but the electorate
went to the polls completely ignorant of the big picture…

So will the children of non-Muslims as will their children after them. 

True, but their birthrate is dimishing, remember?

Bah! Article ... Shmarticle! That button will never be pressed! Not by the tossers we have in power these days anyway.

No, it's ok, I'll grow my own sprouts thanks. Monsanto have some great varieties out now. Could do with a bit more sunshine though, those chemtrails don't half get in the way. Will the EU place a cap on my sprout production I wonder? I might end up throwing 2/3 of them away!

Please take the 6 minutes required to watch this video. Austerity? Debt? There is a third way .......................

Looking at that pic 3g, it was an accident waiting to happen, much like the situation the entire EU finds itself in at the moment!

I'll have some of their sprouts CL, if you don't mind. If we're still a Christian nation by the end of this year I'd like a few on my Christmas dinner!

CL, you're assumption is that 619,344 Muslim women will need to produce offspring for 80 years. This is not true, as the offspring of these women will also produce in later years, as will their offspring, ...

The white UK population are in decline, with a birthrate below that required to sustain the population, while the Muslim population, with a birthrate of around 3, are multiplying rapidly.

Anyhow, it's not just about numbers, it's about the ages of the population as a whole, and pretty soon there will be a vast increase in the number of young Muslim VOTERS that will determine the direction taken by our government. Also, with lots of healthy (thanks, NHS) young Muslims able to put up a good fight, we will have a hard time defending ourselves against them.

Agreed, we all 'breed' in the UK, but it's the birth 'rate' that matters, as any mathematician knows. Muslims have a much higher birth rate than the rest of the UK, who are following an ever-decreasing path with a birthrate less than the 2.1 statistically needed to stop the population becoming extinct. So, the maths are there, they just need interpreting correctly.

Which brings me to another point, which is; why is there not more support for single parent families instead of downcasting them? They are the ones helping to keep our population afloat.

Good man, HPW. That must have taken some doing.

VERY warm reception in Brussels from EU chief after her Brexit talks - but Spain vows to veto Scottish membership before negotiations can even begin. 

That's from MailOnline. Sturgeon is about to find out exactly why she's beating her head against a wall due to this right of veto, and exactly why Leavers wanted OUT! 

Unfortunately I couldn't make it, but found the Bedlington Live! webcam useful. As you say Christopher, quite a turnout, in spite of the pouring rain.

Decisions such as this should be put in the hands of people who understand the consequences.

Sorry merc, I can't for the life of me see where our current political Parties fit into that view!

My honest opinion is that we need to get rid of the whole lot and introduce a new style of government. We've got umpteen ways these days of casting an instant vote on anything of importance, so why leave things up to these idiots, why not let the people vote on practically every issue by simply pressing whatever button is nearest them: phone, tv or computer? In other words, have NO political Parties at all.

Sky and the BBC did a hatched job on Nigel's speech and only showed the part when he was booed. but gave a full boring version of the Queen of Scotland prattling on and on about what she is going to do

 

Fish-face will get nowhere with this - let her prattle.

I laughed when that Scottish MEP (don't know his name, don't care) stood up and said Scotland supported the EU, when it's a plain fact that nigh-on 40% supported Brexit!

I found this from the book you referenced CL:

Quote

One of the founding fathers of the EU, Jean Monnet, also a devout Roman Catholic, totally rejected the idea that Europe should consist of sovereign nations. He believed in the Catholic vision that Europe should become a federal superstate, into which all ancient nations would be fused. 'Fused' is the word he used in a communication dated 30th April 1952, and is wholly consistent with the language of the Maastricht Treaty.

Ah, you worry too much. A General Strike will soon have us back on course.

Just hearing all this talk about how the EU is now going to be turned into a Superstate (I thought it already was) has prompted me to post this little gem ...

In a letter to a friend, dated 30th April 1952, from Jean Monnet, one of the 'founding fathers' of the EU:

Quote

"Europe's nations should be guided towards a super state without their people understanding what is happening. This can be accomplished by successive steps each disguised as having an economic purpose, but which will eventually and irreversibly lead to federation." The single currency was the most important of these steps: as Monnet said, "Via money Europe could become political in five years." - Jean Monnet

So, from the year I was born, this has been planned. You've got to admire their tenacity.
