There aren't well over 30 million drones packed into less than 5% of all the space in only the one vertical dimension. i.e. Roads. .

That's very much the approach the Google self driving cars use, crawling around. But they drive everyone else nuts!! .

I don't see it even happening to any degree. To have even limited value on my car I have to apply all permissions, which makes it a nightmare in my usual town driving, forcing me to to turn off all the nuisance features. For those who spend lots of time on longish motorway trips it may...

We have for a long time now been in a phase of introducing inadequately developed technologies. It started years ago with speech to text on computers which produced around 92 % accuracy which was effectively useless since who wants to have to read through what they've just spoken at length and...

According to a rather pro smartphone survey, only 84% have a smartphone. However some 65% of them dont use anything like the data they are paying for, pointing to another fact. That a large proportion of smartphone owners use them only simplistically, mainly for phone calls, texting and...

He couldn't have got that more wrong, confusing a domestic program of vaccination with future economic success. Italy has always run rings around us where true success is concerned. I remember almost 70 years ago at the time when our economic failures had come to a head, in one of the last...

The thing about making charitable donations that gives David Brownlow the most satisfaction, he says, is “to make a difference to people’s lives”. I suppose digging Boris out of the **** has made a difference to his life! ,

Although widely true, not in my case since all the Covid contacting around here has been by phone calls with messages left when out. This applied to the health centre and the local doctors practice offices according to all those I know. Glad you got your second jab ok. .

THe EU have launched their legal action against Astra Zeneca for breach of contract. AZ have said they will defend themselves in court, a rather unnecessary statement since they'd hardly have said we'll plead guilty! I wonder who the European Court will find for. ;) .

Some of you may remember that in my late 80s I was missed altogether from the list for first vaccinations and I had to chase to get one late, among the seventy year olds. Since I'm now in the 13th week since I did a bit of covert spying via a health centre staff member and found I had been...

I've been listening to a radio talk series titled "PM at 300", given by Sir Anthony Seldon on the subject of the 300 years existence of the PM's office. Of the 54 PMs spanning that period, he only rates 9 as in any way notable, and I disagree with him on two of those, reducing it to just 7...

Wikipedia states: "Matty Groves", also known as "Little Musgrave and Lady Barnard" or "Little Musgrave", is a ballad probably originating in Northern England that describes an adulterous tryst between a young man and a noblewoman that is ended when the woman's husband discovers and kills them...

Baron Cummings of Barnard Castle has a nice ring to it. .

Even Gove wouldn't inflict him on the Lords. A knighthood maybe, Sir Dominic Cummings, knighted for services to the nation (Exploration and Ocular research). .

I think he probably did say it, that would be typical of overstatement to emphasize a point, but it's meaningless. People daily threaten to kill each other, but very rarely actually do. Certainly the tide does seem to be turning against him now, probably as the true future costs of both Covid...

Just reflects badly on the mentality of Americans, paying to hear Boris Johnson speak. .

Given the disjointed ramblings that Johnson utters, they probably emanate from a number of chaotic thought cyclones that pass for brain function. .

He has been visiting Israel to study their Green Pass and how it works with a view to the possibility of a vaccine passport here in Britain. He's currently the Cabinet Minister, a rather vague job which probably permits a wandering brief. .

Honda's Code of Conduct is all about Integrity. But the nearest to that word from Lancia was their Delta Integrale Model: .

Pot calling the kettle black I think. .
