Slick looking thing that is!!!
The looks are a little polarising but I own a Juke so I'm right at home with this. The cabin makes so much sense it's hard to argue with the exterior.

Its a Lego car, surely?
Spaceship!?...
I AM, a Master Builder!, wait, it was something like that anyway.

Don't forget to plug it in Brett :)
Has anyone got a USB to microUSB to 3-pin converter? ;)

Damn quick those things. Faster to 50mph than an M3. Enjoy upsetting people in it.
Ohhh yes :D it has some poke, surprises so many people. I love how planted it feels and just zips away effortlessly :D

Now if only my isp would get off their backside and start supporting ipv6 so I didn't need to tunnel it.

Just put the i3 on charge for second time and I've covered 200 miles in 2 days and used nearly 10l of fuel. I've been using it excessively and no quick charge lead with the demonstrator or I'd have planned better :-( still, the REX is ace :-)
Normal commute and shopping (in Chester LP :-)) would be fine and likely not touch the fuel.

most patch wearers are actually very nice respectable people its the 1% of the 1%rs that are complete feking arz wipes but when your a brother your a brother and you will do what is required to protect your brother. you also have to remember that a loot of people who join chapters are misfits/loners etc.etc in society and when enticed to join a group of people and become part of the family they do so with open arms as it then give them purpose in life.







Closer to 100% of the 1%er's here are arz wipes, drug dealers etc.
Fortunately most of their violence is directed towards rival 1%er gangs.
They do mostly join for the reasons you mentioned.

I find that the vast majority of humans, no matter where they come from, are inherently nice. I find that if you do someone a favour they normally repay it, one way or another. That's a quality posty BBc. As for head stroking, I lost my barnet years ago and have constantly missed the feeling of having my hair washed before a haircut ever since:(

On the plus side, I took the SV out for a proper thrash today, the first real ride since I tipped it out the back of the van a few months ago, and it is proper fit:D

Drives miles out of her way only to have the girl first puke in her car, then after she'd dropped her off and got home realised the little cow had stolen her vanity case containing several hundred pounds worth of cosmetics and stuff.

We were asked to baby sit our almost year old Grandson yesterday afternoon. He went to bed at just after eight PM, but he was restless and he woke up at just before midnight. Rather than leaving him in his travel cot head banging (which is very freaky and nothing I have ever seen before, but the baby care forums say that he will grow out of) he came into Nanny's bed for a cuddle with his two Nannies. As he lay quietly between us, he let out the biggest fart ever. I was so proud. He may not be my actual flesh and blood, but I love that boy so much. I am so lucky, I have found a wonderful partner that I love with all my heart, she has a Son who I love and he has a Mrs who I just adore. It is our eight year anniversary this month. If you had told me eight years ago that I would be this happy and be a Grandma, I would not have believed it. Sorry for being so soppy and sentimental.

My smile for today is a bit odd. One of my dearest friends had a nasty bike accident a few days, throwing a Fazer 600 up a car park while on his DAS training. The resulting ride along the floor at about forty has broken his left arm, knocked his confidence a little and wrecked a school fazer.

Why am I smiling? Because despite all of that, he is determined to get back on a bike and pass his test. More importantly, he is OK, his gear saved him and despite some minor injuries, he is not badly hurt which is always a risk when going from a 125 to a 600. I am just off now to help with his dressings and to laugh at him for not being able to wipe him bum properly because of his broken arm. I am a nice friend! :smt040

5h1t a brick Mike! Mum and Dad struggle with a tenth of that in Herefordshire.We're lucky really Pete, the exchange is practically in the village, so cable runs are short. I get 7Mbps currently, so hope to see 5 times faster download and double or triple upload speeds. Some of the folks outside the village are having trouble ordering the service it seems, so again lucky! Two resons to smile today! (Exchange upgraded ANd I can order it) :-D

Just ordered BT Infinity, after our exchange was upgraded by the Superfast Cymru initiative. Projected speed of 40Mbps which isn't bad for the sticks! :-D


You'll love the speed. We've got the mega fast Virgin(keep it clean), and even wireless I'm getting over 80Mpbs. I've only got to switch the laptop on and its ordered toys off Ebay - honest.

Receiving a message at a dinner I was attending last night to say that 'Mr Palin' was asking if I was there. That'll be Michael Palin, and he took the time to come and find me to thank me personally for arranging for him to receive an invite to Lord's this summer for a day at the Ashes. I do get to meet some great people in my job but he has to go down as one of the nicest. No air and graces.

Getting the green light on my first company car, the i3 is a go :D
They're even putting me a charging point in! which given I'd be the only EV owner, means a practically dedicated parking space (hopefully it's not in a bad spot but meh, free jiggawatts!)

I'm with LP on the council funded fibre expansion program, ours went live recently, engineer due out tomorrow. Can't wait!

Yeah, but then I connect the jumpers to their car and wait for them to grab the handle ;-)

Spooky, just home after an enjoyable (but tiring) day at the Gadget Show live.

Well as shows at the NEC go, its the only one I've enjoyed.

Its 140 mile hike from mine.

I took my youngest who's a gadget freak, and got her a mini drone

We went to the arena show, so got to sit down for an hour. that was good

She got to drive a proper car, she's only 11! (well 10 and a bit) I had to tell a fib to get her the go in the car

Coming home after a tough day to see my wife standing smiling at me as I pull up. It's our 9 year anniversary and is picked up some very nice munchies and we've sat in the evening lit conservatory listening to soppy songs while eating and drinking. BIG Smile today :-D

First afternoon sitting on the beach wall, sun warming my back & the waves gently rolling in, almost flat calm.

Lovely

I had a similar feeling on Saturday.

Back in Herefordshire with my folks, long walk in Bircher woods, then an afternoon of beer and chat in The Bell beer garden in Yarpole, basking in the sun.

Pete ;)
