I know how they work, I've operated these switches with the detents and without thousands of times. I was an aircraft engineer (Avionics), operating, testing and replacing these switches/ control units etc was part of my trade. The guards look more like side shields, and doesn't look like it...

Yeah, this is very odd. Apparently on the CVR (Cockpit voice recorder), one of them said "why did you do the cut off" and the other one said "I didn't". Some weird reports here, some say the switches were found in the off position, and some say they were cycled off and back on. They must have...

You're the one who seems to afraid of something, but you won't say what it is, which is odd. Do you not agree your data is all over the place already, and in the hands of far worse people than the government?

I'm on about i.d cards, not DNA. But, yeah, do the DNA too, why not? I'll be the first to volunteer, if we need to get the ball rolling. Actually they probably have mine from the forces or voluntary health studies etc. I've got nothing to fear, I literally wouldn't even care 0.0001%, I don't...

Nobody is giving up their passport, phone, bank card, internet etc, it's all hypocritical.

They already have the data, for people with bank accounts, bank cards, mobile phones, passports etc, or much, much worse people with much worse intentions do.

Exactly, everything we all do is tracked just about everywhere anyway, our work, cars, sat navs/ phone maps, phones, bank cards, passport etc all see to that. This would just ensure those that aren't tracked, get tracked to the same degree.

Why are you bothered? Nobody cares what shops you're going or where you're going. The idea is only a government database would see the data, and your data wouldn't ever get pulled out. You're already being tracked everywhere you go anyway, and various databases probably already know more about...

3 Options: 1 - Guisbrough's pretty crap for charging, you might just want to go for petrol or diesel. 2 - This is the nearest chargers over 100kW, so probably a 50kW car you're hiring, and you're probably going to need ~50% charge, so ~25kW, probably a 15-30min charge on one of these. 3 - If...

It's a bit of an odd one the small boats/ immigration thing, as I don't think you will ever stop a person wanting to get from a bad/ poorly developed country, to a good one (we don't think it's great here, but it's still probably top 10%, compared to everywhere else). No matter how you treat...

I think that would 100% be a good thing, for many reasons, and do away with cash too. It would help: - Prevent crime - Solve crime - Prevent illegal work - Prevent ticket touting - Prevent people going where they shouldn't - Help in emergency situations - Prevent various impersonation/ fraud -...

It's just needlessly frustrating, major roads like that should have been dualled decades ago when it was cheaper to do. Have you never waited on there behind a HGV, which is behind another HGV, then the second you get to a dualled bit the HGV pulls out and tries to overtake at 0.5mph faster...

Yeah, I see what you mean, should help us in Teesside/ South Durham/ North Yorks going south, and we won't get that many from other areas using it. Geordies probably go the A69 as an alternate to M62. Going North yeah, probs Harrogate/ York and those North of that.

Use the A66 fairly frequently, to go to Cumbria and the lakes etc, but if they dual this it may even be faster/ more reliable to Liverpool and Manchester, rather than via the M62 which is a permanent nightmare. Don't think they're touching the A685 though, and that's all single lane I think...

To be fair he spends more time on flights than he does playing, so he'll win this easily.
