Re: Now I'm a scooterist am I still allowed in here?


So can I still frequent this place now I'm a scooterist rather than a biker? I have noticed 'motorcyclists' ignore me on the road when I give 'em a nod now I'm on a scooter!


Nobody ignores me...

Yes it could, though I nicked that off an article which was suggesting she was in fact obsessed by Princess Diana. After her comments about not knowing anything about the Royal family, seemed a bit fake (to say the least!).

She is a snake.

Dyson and his amazing vortex powered vacuum cleaner. He spent half of his life trying to get manufacturers interested in the technology, they were only interested in selling brand specific bags.

It caught on eventually, after Dyson defied the odds and bet the farm on doing it himself...

At that size, those things aren’t as strong as they look when beached. It could conceivably break up if they don’t hurry up.

But I doubt if there is any part of that ship strong enough to drag it off a sandbank, let alone wedged between two points.

They should offload it ASAP. It ain’t goin ...

Re: Perseverance


Venus is fecking hard to work on. The surface conditions are higher pressure than the bottom of the sea and hot enough to melt lead.

NASA actually put out a call for ideas/proposals on how you might make an electronics free rover to work there.
