General Discussion Area / Might be of interest
« on: 03 December 2017, 12:53:17 »
I first heard about this complex of tunnels under Portsdown Hill many years ago. Built during WW2 as an Under ground HQ., they were used by NATO during the cold war.
In Part one of the video, the film crew have gained acess from Emergency exit 1. These exit points are still visible on the hill below Fort Southwick.
Military Road ( the public road that runs along the top of the hill ) is marked on their tunnel guide (pause the video @2.35) & passes over corridors 60 to 64.

« on: 30 October 2017, 00:41:53 »

Tracking east the Rampion wind farm off the sussex coast was just visible.
anyone over that way 116 turbines 8 miles off shore; so what`s the view from the sussex coast like now then

General Discussion Area / Are you an aspie thinker ?
« on: 17 October 2017, 23:17:51 »
Just watched the Chris Packham film where he discusses his Aspergers syndrome
How difficult that must have been, to trawl up obviously painful memories from his past
Now there are many ppl with a broad spectrum of autistic traits & somehow they kinda cope
Some of the social interactions he still has problems with, my brother will still avoid.
Packham talks about his coping strategies & to be honest he`s glossing over a million & one problems there
Obsession & isolation I think that ticks the main boxes.
One shocking stat. he reveals is that only 14% of sufferers are in full time employment
I`ll always been there for my brother, but how many isolated ppl are out there living with similar problems and with no one to turn to

One for the VW air cooled fans on the forum, this guy is quite watchable anyway
Check out his playlists & here`s a cold start of a VW bus engine last run 31 years ago.

General Car Chat / The rolling road block
« on: 02 August 2017, 02:06:27 »
Again heavy traffic on the A27 towards Chichester in the morning
Filtered to the head of a half-mile tailback to find 2 HGV nutters duelling it out
One of the wagons was a tanker, creeping so slowly past MR ASDA & he wasn`t lettin up
Always seems so pointless, 10 mins to overtake WHY

General Car Chat / new windscreen time
« on: 21 July 2017, 14:53:03 »
I see on my policy, their prefered companys are Autoglass or Mr Windscreen.
Now what , flip a coin or pop around to the local junior school to see if the fitter is available next week
Last windscreen done was on my GSI astra & it was appalling, The autofarce bloke spent most of his time textin & chattin on his fone.
What can I expect 7 years later

General Discussion Area / My new bike insurer needs this information
« on: 20 July 2017, 00:41:33 »
Because of the following reasons :-
This is just a follow up email to remind you that you need to meet some requirements in order to process your policy fully.
These requirements are imposed by insurers and the government as compliance, anti-fraud and anti-terrorism measures.
Below is the up to date status of your account:
Subjectivity Status
Copy of Licence Outstanding
Proof of NCB Outstanding
Licence Check Code Outstanding
WTF has any of this got to do with anti-terrorism
Anyone else been asked for a copy of their licence,

General Car Chat / Hybrid Toyota
« on: 21 May 2017, 22:46:45 »
Don`t get me wrong I like the idea of high mpg & low emmisions etc
The reality of owning one is slightly weird & frustrating
Jump-in & press the start button & a green light indicates it`s "Ready" to go
So select "D" & we creep away relatively quickly under leccy power.
Then a bit faster & the crap noisy 1500 cc engine kicks in & the graphic on the infotainment centre shows mean little green lines surgin about.
But I can`t ever just press the start button & turn on the petrol engine when the car is at a standstill. If I could just tell the little sod I want to listen to mister noisy a mo cos that squicky noise has come back & I`d like to get eye`s & ears on the problem.
Nope I`m not a fan I`ve given it a shake down & quite happily re-park it back home on my Uncles driveway. He`s back home from his travels next month & he`s welcome to it
