I promise not to call him a mongrel this time

In IBM terms, half a byte is a 'nibble'. Just to show how old I am, the first MAINFRAME I worked on had 64Kb of memory, mind you it was ancient even for those days. A few years later we got our first PCs, with 540Kb of RAM, 2 floppy drives with no hard discs, and 8086 chips. You get more power in a watch today.

"Girls and Boys" or "The Universal", but I think on the whole they are a much overrated band.

Your local council should publish their Cemetery Regulations on their website, just try GOOGLEing that phrase to find examples. Did you speak to a Councillor, who generally know bugger all about rules and regs but will make things up to sound as if they do, ( little big man syndrome ), or to an officer in the Cems and Crems Department, who should give you a straight answer.

Or even indicating one way and turning the other ! I think that cyclists, as with any other subset of the population, suffer by having a small proportion of f()ckwits who wish to impose their will upon others who might not share their evangelistic position, eg those that 'own' every inch of tarmac and resent having to share any part of it with unbelievers, be they in a car or on foot. On the other hand, I've lost count of the number of drivers, whether in car or lorry, who leave the absolute minimum distance to my right as they shoot past me, or who cannot wait behind for 20 yards as I pass the junction they wish to turn into - I had one who went past me and turned no more than 10 yards in front into his drive, why the f'ing rush ?

True R&B is Rythm & Blues, the type of stuff you are referring to is just the evil spawn of Soul & Disco.

Best bit of that : " the treacherous, slippery and dishonest Tories". He's learning !

Dune, with posting a Levellers tune, you are at risk of letting your mask slip, and being discovered to be a closet crusty / tree hugger : "Whoever puts their hand upon me to govern me is a usurper, a tyrant, and I declare them my enemy"

"but a government which defines itself by cuts stands a very good chance of making things worse"

Some Indian call centres are now 'outsourcing' to the States as the labour rates are cheaper !

You could always respond to this sort of BS with Bingo !

"We need a statement of intent to build the new stadium this year, and we need to start seeing lots of premiership quality players swelling the ranks before pre season. I reckon if we signed 10-15 good premiership players we'll do well next season." OK, which of us is HorseaHorsea ?

Right wing little Englanders complaining about getting caught breaking the law when speeding.

How does anybody 'know' whether what is posted on an effectively anonymous Internet forum truly represents the persona and politics of any poster ? Most posters on here probably wouldn't know it when they were sat next to a fellow poster in the stands at SMS. In the case of 'brave little Dune battling against the Marxist hordes' - he doesn't have to post his more extreme opinions, he does so in the certain knowledge of the response, and in all probability with the intention of provoking the ire of those to the left of his political position, ( which means anybody from the left wing of the Tory party through to arch-communists ). He also gives as good as he gets, I am certain that he enjoys the 'debate', and it truth he very rarely stands alone in defending the indefensible.

I've just done the shopping whilst watching a program about the Isle of Man TT races. And it doesn't count as multitasking if one of the 'tasks' is simply waiting for the oven timer to stop

"Private browsing" ?

Would the crash have happened if you were completely aware of your speed, the road conditions, and your safe braking distance ? The camera is immaterial. If you were sufficiently distracted by it to hit another vehicle, you were not driving 'with due care and attention'.
