Re: TV series worth watching/downloading

Apologies if this has been mentioned previously.... And sadly I'm old enough to have enjoyed the original with Richard Chamberlain (when we didn't know what a "Mini Series" was... Hell, I think we only had 3 TV channels, no Satellite and no Internet then - how did we survive?!! Shōgun http...

Re: Trip to Zhangjiajie, Hunan, China

Cracking photo's and Report BG. Having lived and travelled in China for a fair few years, I'm still amazed at some of the "Rock Structures" - quite incredible. Many more for you to see though!! :D

Keep the reports and photo's coming!!

Yet many say he has been already, but will last out the season - the same has happened in the German League hasn't it?

Re: Premier League 2023-24

For as long as I can remember, every year, 1, 2, or 3 managers have been brought in, been allowed/encouraged to spend countless tens of millions on players, failed miserably and then been given a huge payoff for underperforming - you’d never get it in any other place than in top flight football - I...

Re: Electric Vehicles (EV) Thread

Well, it'll be interesting today as Tesla announce their Quarterly Results. Things are already going somewhat pear-shaped with 10% job cuts announced, mass recalls, a 40% drop in share price.... More bad news expected.

Re: Electric Vehicles (EV) Thread

There could be a few hybrids that have a slightly longer range, but certainly the majority that I’ve looked at typically can only drive for a couple of miles before the engine kicks in - even the class leader Toyota Yaris can’t do very much more, if at all. Of course the plug-in hybrids have consid...

Re: Electric Vehicles (EV) Thread

In the UK I have a hybrid car - a Renault Captur and although it’s more economical than a straightforward car with just an ICE, it has a very limited range in EV only mode, typically 1-2 miles before the petrol engine kicks in and then out again as the battery recharges. It’s obviously a small cont...

Re: Doctors warn of hot summer heatstrokes

Christ, I used to be able to take the heat - hell I lived through it for many years and also worked in it on site, not in aircon. These days, mid-high 20's is my perfect spot. Whether this being in the UK as a home base for too long, stints in cooler climates or now simply not working (or travelling...
