Assumption, I didn't say whose nations bagpipes. :p .

Once is ok, it's nothing to do with conditioning the battery, it's only to set the zero point on the integral smart meter to battery empty. That ensures its accuracy when checking content or capacity in future. .

But being of a suspicious and cautious nature, if you do this I'd recommend you scratch your intials on the battery. You wouldn't want it swapped for a suspect one at some future date. .

Possibly true, but i witnessed a Grltdnr event some while ago. Riding in a high hedged twisty narrow lane not far from home a Rover overtook in a hurry. Then with it just beyond me I could see the top of a fast moving box body truck beyond the next bend over the top of hedges. Sitting a bit...

Maybe, but the most important thing is whether he's happy. If he is, he's successful. .

Now then, I quite like listening to the bagpipes at times. It can make a nice change from listening to music. .

It seems you may be onto something here Dave. NASA is investigating the use of biofuels, including a brassica (cabbage family) based one, to reduce jet engine particulates that also contribute to global warming when deposited in the troposphere. The fascinating account of the risky use of...

They're Brussels, that's the hated EU. .

Maybe he's on commission from Reed Employment Agency. ;) .

Although increasing age is an element, much of the recent rise is due to current disillusionment with politics, here and elsewhere. The disillusionment has arisen with events like the 2008 banking crisis, other aspects of globalisation and the recent mass migrations. The remainder is...

Indeed, it's mainly expressed by the older age groups in Britain and an even smaller proportion of them in the mainland EU countries. They will soon be yesterday's people so have diminishing relevance. A few decades ago racism was open and rife, but now it's greatly reduced nationally and...

I don't think there's the faintest shred of evidence that any of the Brexiters even considered the union for one moment when they voted. They stated a wide variety of reasons for the way they voted with little consideration of the implications. .

Yes, they are. The article's conclusion is misguided, based on historical suppositions rather than facts and irrelevant to today. .

Englishness has been an irrelevance for over half a century, it's just another word for nationalism, which itself is a dirty word. Nationalism is what creates wars. This is a global world in which we travel, live, work, mingle and interbreed in countries in diverse ways that leaves almost...

Or a Bosch fridge. Bosch buy in a lot of this domestic stuff, just having it badged as theirs. Much of it is quite poor. .

For the price of the first you can have two of the second to see you through the knowledge! .

Hopefully the French will show as much commonsense when they vote shortly. .

A whole lot more than mopeds unfortunately. There's the usual bike problems when they work hard regularly, including punctures of course, plus the electrical problems that can crop up. Much depends on the usage though, mileage, working hours etc., and there's a luck element as well. One will...

It was storyline cover for his actual death due to urethral cancer at age 48. .

A moped would be no dearer, could even cost less, and will be far more reliable than a bike. No range or charge problems either, and much less risk of theft. For this application it's no contest. . .
