How do they compare in the time trial?

It's not clear cut but Tao, while erratic, has a better TT record.

Dennis getting back on the front - twice - after Hindley attacked was funny.

Which is a coincidence as having an overdeveloped arm is clearly an issue for several posters on this board.

Yes, I've been told a lot that it's really easy, I'm just lazy. Mind you, the pastry for an English-style pork pie is quite different to an Aussie-style meat pie. In my experience the English style is a lot more "bready" and the Australians is a lot more "flaky". A meat pie in a cafe in the UK will...

This weekend's effort. https://i.imgur.com/9p3IlrIl.jpg Very impressive. After a weekend in London my perception of English cuisine changed hugely and part of that was the baked goods in the markets, pork pies sausage rolls, etc. What did you use for the pastry? Homemade? If so, what's your method?...

Not accusing at all, and want to be full of admiration. I'm just struggling.

You might find it enlightening to read up on the background of the CEO of his team.

I think Daddy Stroll wants Vettel at RP so his son can go up against a former world champ that is in continuous decline. Stroll will look good if he stays anywhere near Seb even if Seb is way off the pace. Billionaire daddy buying success for his son. I've always thought that Vettel was overrated. ...

Ok. I am actually looking forward to this. Really like the atmosphere and styling, such as you can see in a trailer.

To all you Dune freaks out there. How far did you read this series? I read all the way to Chapter House. I even tried one of the ones written by his son, but it was such utter trash I never did try any others. I read all the original series. The last couple were something of a labour of love but st...

I've never seen occam spelt like that before. Didn't know it had another variant. William of Ockham. I suspect they wanted to make him sound Greek or something - the pretentious twats.

Like a lot of anti-discrimination laws, the quoted law distinguishes between sex and gender identity. I don’t know if it has been litigated but there is a very reasonable basis for mungo’s opinion. Would 'gender identity' or 'sex' be relevant for a fully transitioned man or woman? No, as you said, ...

C69 was always right.

Similar issue some time ago on a Dell which I'd fed and upgraded periodically over the years. Diagnostics were good, discs were good, temps were good, nothing in the event log, just random stops. A new mobo fixed the issue. I'm guessing some less than stellar solder joint or micro PCB track somewhe...

1st step, before all of the sensible suggestions above should be to check the windows logs to see if it tells you why it crashed - run event viewer and look at Windows Logs/System.

Taking over a country is fine. It's when you don't finish the job that people get upset.

Also China - big, Israel - small.

Pasta... it's all good. Having said that, just about any regional variety of ragu or sugo is my ultimate comfort dish...

Littering in this country is a horrendous issue as is throwing away shit we can recyle.

Was chatting to my local brewer last weekend when I picked up this week's supply. Although he'd only started about 12 months ago, he'd managed to get a pretty good foothold in the local pubs - enough so that he was making a decent living. But he's actually seen his business more than quadruple duri...
