... If you catch any of George Best's funeral [1] on TV today you'll see my neck of the woods. I play cricket in the Stormont grounds just beside where the ...
This is good news. The European Space agency (which includes Canada apparently. Go figure) had 97% of it's budget request for the next few years approved. A...
Interesting results from Ethiopia were a rift will likely form a future ocean. See: <http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/4512244.stm> Ian -- Ian Robinson -...
... I took some pictures whilst out for a 5 mile walk around Stormont this morning. Excellent, crisp, sunny weather. It's nice having these grounds about 5...
... That's neat, it's interesting to see such a different environment. :) Imagine having a big building like that so nearby! Maybe I should be putting up...
... I like this one. I like mountains. Although we don't really have mountains in Northern Ireland. The highest mountain, Slieve Donard, is in the Mourne ...
That's really cool, a mountain "rising out of the sea". I'm not near the sea, and when I lived by the sea the land was flat as a pancake. The highest spot was...
I am going to be offering my online archaeology courses twice in the coming year, once in each half of the year. The courses and the schedules for the first...
... I certainly agree with this, however not all places have hills. So it's not always possible to learn how to drive properly on them until one moves away. ...
... Just a thought ... Not drive on hills during driving tests? ... YAHOO! GROUPS LINKS Visit your group "talkscience" on the web. To unsubscribe from this...
... Makes sense to me, but if "hill starts" are a part of the UK driving test, what do people do when there are no hills in their area? Do they have to take...
... In Florida, the driver's test mentions hills but said little about them -- most Florida drivers will not realize who has right of way when two cars meet on...
... Ooooh. :( In my experience, when it "snaps" then I'll really have trouble turning the key - to the point I'm nervous I'll bend it or (heaven forbid)...
... Understood. But the trick is pretty simple -- to relieve the pressure when turning the key, just apply a little twist to the wheel while turning it....
... Thanks, I'll give that a try next time. Often I'm so annoyed by the problem that I get sorta rough which is probably the wrong thing. A car key broken off...
... I think (nearly sure but I'll qualify it) that the hill start is one of several elements that an examiner can set. Others include 3-point turn, reverse...
... Mine (Renault Laguna) doesn't have a key. It has a card that slots into the dash and has electronic control. Of course it can be fun when it goes wrong. ...
... Gracious. I recall reading of that first event shortly after it occurred. Didn't know there'd been another one. I was warned off cruise-control many years...
It's been a bit quiet in here recently. I've got a pile of the last few weeks issues of New Scientist & Nature to read over the Christmas break. I'll post...
... Yes. And it cheered me up no end. But it is OT here. BTW I'm not a member of DebunkCreation anymore. I told Lenny but didn't say anything on the list when...
... The article suggests that the "cruise control" on the car isn't, quite. That it is a mechanical device rather than electronic. Is it actually possible that...
... And mine is a science-geek's car. No keys, and no slots. And no fumbling with key fobs to unlock or lock it. Approach the car and grab the door-handle;...
