General Discussion Area / Re: Funeral cortege etiquette
« on: 04 April 2011, 10:48:24 »
I got stuck behind a bikers funeral cortege on the A303 near Yeovil a few years ago.  There had to be around 100 bikes and they proceeded up the dual carriageway at around 35mph and took up both lanes for about 6 miles or so before peeling off into Yeovil, probably to the crematorium.

I was driving an artic right behind the cortege and I was abit frustrated at being held up and there was a hell of a tail back behind.... I remember though feeling abit ashamed later and thinking what a hell of a send off that biker got.....

We're all in such a hurry these days to get things done and be places, that we all tend to forget simple things like showing abit of respect  :-[

If they merge, does that mean the resulting publication will be twice as right wing? and will they publish a double amount of horse manure?  ::) ::) ::)

Lets face it, it's a typical British muddle  ;D ;D ;D

Most of the Commonwealth countries bit the bullet and went fully decimal and now its completely normal in those places  :y  I have a few Canadian/Aussie/Kiwi mates who think it's totally barmy that we operate a sort of dual system  :o

I kind of like the quirkyness of all to be honest! Its one of the things that makes us Brits kind of unique in this world :)

But Thank God they did at least decimalise the currency!!! £/s/d seems like a nightmare to me  :-/

Any reason why you can't tax a car on a temp insurance?  :-/ So for example if I bought a car at auction with no tax, could I tax it on a days insurance cover note to get it home legally?

Hopefully the UN resolution has made Gadaffi sit up and take notice that the international community won't sit on their hands and watch while he murders the people of Libya.... and in my view that goes for the other despots aound the world as well!

I'm glad that the UN has finally got round to assuming a position on this, as if we did nothing we would be witnessing genocide in Bengazi and the world has sat and watched too many genocides in recent history.... Cambodia, The Balkans, Rwanda and the DRC spring to mind  :'( :'( :'(

Thanks for the replies.

Think I'll try the annenuator, as the signal is max strengh....

I already have a booster, ahhh maybe I don't need the booster now? :-/ I'll disconnect that and see what happens!  ::)

We also have some ash trees that have grown really tall in next doors garden, I've mentioned that they might be affecting my signal and their blocking the light into my garden, but he reckons their not his.... >:(

Thanks again and I'll keep you posted!  :y :y :y

General Discussion Area / Digital TV picture breaking up...
« on: 16 March 2011, 11:12:23 »
Hi All,

Since the big digital TV switchover a couple of years ago, my TV picture is nowhere near as good as it was on analogue. Recently it has become almost unwatchable, the picture breaks up and pixilates and now and then the sound goes with a 'pop'! :(  The setup is nothing fancy, just a Panasonic LCD with builtin freeview.

I've checked the signal meter through the setup menu and that indicates a maximum signal strength and maximum quality..... I'm abit lost now though what to try next and thought someone here may be able to help.. :)  Thanks for any advice :y

Talking of bike tests or lack of them...  :o

I did mine back in the days when the bloke stood on the corner and told you to go round the block.......  ::)

So I did as instructed, but being abit nervous I forgot that I'd turned the petrol tap off ( Why!? :o), and half way round the block I spluttered to a halt... :( Barsteward!!!!! >:( 

My Yamaha RXS100 didn't have electric start so I'm kicking it over like a donkey on acid till it eventually fires.... :y Then I'm off like a cat with something red hot up it's... :o till I get to the last corner, then I'm like Grandad on his scooter... :y

Average speed springs to mind!!   :y :y :y  and yes I passed!!! WooHoo!!! :y :y :y
