Well he* uses the old NASA method of getting shit done, unlike the new NASA driven like a government department or large corporate.  Sometimes risks have to be taken to progress, which is why space races are only ever good for space exploration.


*Obviously I'm talking about SpaceX rather than the head. But he allows those risks.

General Car Chat / Re: New calipers... What colour?

I was assured by the polishing brigade - the jag forum mob - painting them red would give me 300 more horsepower and would allow me to outbrake Schumacher's F1 car....

What? Paint them yourself? Or do the main dealer do that now?

I guess painting them is a main dealer job, but owners can polish them weekly.....

The reset emails often do seem to go to spam.

If you're really stuck, PM an admin to reset it to something you know, and then you can change it yourself in Profile.

I might not be the best admin to ask, as I imagine my responses might be a bit slow due to my little sniffles.

Manflu can be fatal, lots of alcohol may just save you 👍

I can't face alcohol. Or food.  Its kinda pointless, as what goes in comes out very fast

Swmbo has been requesting one of those mixer things for about 40 years.
I must remember to buy her one, one of these days. 

That's Xmas done and dusted for next year then.

Possibly worth trying another forgot password yourself, as we did find a fault with the email system yesterday sending emails out of the wrong IP, and looks like it's been that way for a while. Oops!

Omega General Help / Re: elite rear shelf speakers

« on: Yesterday at 11:59:41 »

For the carpet bit of the rear parcel shelf, assuming using the same sized speakers as the Bose woofers, using an Elite parcel shel is probably the easiest option.  Although there seems to be far fewer of them being broken now...

With respect Yer Onner, and in my defence, this is a metal machine containing rotating parts, gears and grease, and powered by mains electricity. Therefore I propose that it should belong in MY domain.

Take no notice of Jaime. I've heard rumours that Putin has got pictures of him in an apron and pink marigolds. 

You sent them to him....

At a push, repairing it could almost be a blue job.  Testing it works is definitely a pink job.

That looks suspiciously like a kitchen appliance, thus womens' work.

So, I see the BBC are reporting this, not as the incredibly serious matter of what he was arrested for, but by interviewing the family of the yankee gold digger tart who topped herself.
