From what I overheard from a conference call that my landlady (she is involved with Long Covid research ) was on, the mutation that was identified in the South East of England only increases the virus's ability to infect others, and has had no notable change in other effects. As of yesterday...

Attempted piracy is not going to help them much with the asylum applications. Also nice to see the SBS get some publicity.

This frame seems to be the place then. https://ncap.org.uk/frame/6-1-1-36-11 Take note of the basin and the ship in the middle of the frame described as "German Cruiser" in the archive. That ship would be 200-400m from the bomb. I was only going off the video plus google earth and then looking...

The bomb was located 500-1500m from a dock that ships could have been in use in1945. A quick browse on https://ncap.org.uk/ (RAF ww2 Aerial photo archive) shows some possible ships transiting the canal. https://ncap.org.uk/frame/6-1-1-36-16 shows the area on 14 April 1945.

I wonder what the current tenants on Ascension Island think of the proposal. Also it is going to cost a fortune maintaining a facility like that 1200km from the nearest land (and that is another mid-Atlantic Island).

I passed all my HGV Theory tests, now I'm having to wait till November before I can start on the practical training. I could start next week but I would still have to wait till November for a Test, So I am going to wait. And that is assuming there is not any Covid-19 related shenanigans.

Bloodhound was also exported to Sweden, Australia( v1 only), Singapore and Switzerland (of course). It's unfortunate that it was not continually upgraded like some other systems of the era, and so was left behind.

After revising the Highway Code (Rules of the road for the UK) again for my up coming tests and then going for a 30 min drive. Soo many drivers have forgotten or ignore so many rules. I spotted, 3 Red light runners, 10-13 Junction offences, 4 Dangerous Parking/Waiting rule breakers, not to...

That is my understanding of what the job is like, which is kind of what I'm looking forward to about it. All though the revision for the three theory tests is steep (in the UK atleast).

macVsog I took it to mean that grave diggers are always needed, Also local Undertakers currently have a lighter work load than normal and are not hireing I've called them already. My problem is that if I get an interview I cant go until the lockdown is eased, and that is even if they are doing...

So, The UK Government has announced extending the lock down in my local area. It should have been done last week when the test rate went up. And local politicians have been attacking each other over the situation, Why do we keep voting useless self centered people into office at any level. How...
