Two questions.

1. What did prehistoric man do about wiping their arse after a dump? Did they wander round with dried up klingons? Or did they drag themselves across the long grass to wipe it off?

2. SWMBO is suffering quite badly from sickness whilst pregnant. Also she has joint pain and food cravings. Do other animals have the same symptoms during pregnancy?

We run test Transits for Fords .When they take them back they are stripped and inspected and then scrapped , regardless of faults or mileage .

Wouldn't the Top Gear transit be dumped behind the studio at Dunsfold? Quite a few of their old machines are parked there.

Though, thinking about it, why would they bring it back from Germany?

I don't know why I bothered, TBH.

For the second question, I've read that the cravings and sicknesses are inbuilt to avoid eating stuff that might be bad for the baby, for example anything that could give you food poisoning etc.
The cravings would probably turn up in other animals, as they have periodic cravings anyway, like giraffes chewing on skulls.

Bins full of feathers or bins full of lead? Or are you asking how many bins can you fit into a refuse lorry?

I'm no expert, but I'll take a stab at bins full of rubbish. GVW & Tare makes for an exciting conversation, I know, but I reckon I could be onto something with rubbish.

Prehistoric man didn't eat the rubbish most eat today, he also squatted to poop. Pretty sure that unless he had a dodgy kebab or prehistory's equivalent he'd have no issues with klingons or owt.

Did he use French autoroutes too? Poor sod.

Does anyone know how many people 'accidentally' trip in those quaint (but modern) French roadside crap-holes - inebriation notwithstanding?

This is an answer to a question that hasn't been asked, so I'm going slightly targental here, but if you throw a molotov cocktail into a french portaloo and you don't get out of the door quick enough you both lose some facial hair and get covered in excrement and chemicals. Before anyone asks, it wasn't me, but I did hear the bang and see the poor sod a short time afterwards. Le Mans in the early 2000s if I recall correctly.

Does anyone (know) how profitable Regtransfers is?

They seem to keep buying £500 numbers and then try to sell them to me for £19k. I know they act as agents but they also seem to buy in to stock and the numbers must sit around for years.

They 'sold' my father's number a couple of months ago. They asked for the log book and assured him that they had a deposit.

They hadn't. Then they procrastinated in returning the log book.

They no longer have his number for sale. censored.

I should start by saying I'm a very keen cyclist and not some dhead cycle hater, but the simple answer is that they're aholes.

The more complex answer is:

Riding in a tight group is easier, the head of the group breaks the wind resistance giving the following riders an easier time, even at a very high level of competitive racing competing riders will take their turn at the lead.

Also, it's more sociable, it allows you to chat away with your fellow riders.

And finally it's their right - the law is straight forward, there is no second-tier road users, if you're on the road than you have every right to your entire lane, so why not share it with your fellow riders - it's one of the first thing they teach you when you do your CBT / Bike test.

So, it's more efficient, more sociable and perfectly right and legal - which of course doesn't make it MASSIVELY ANTI-SOCIAL, the reality it most riders are total fantasists, from their Rapha Sky replica strip to their £10k carbon wonderbikes that are completely wasted on them, truth is their formation isn't nearly tight enough to be aerodynamic, they never talk to each other than taking up so much pointlessly just pisses everyone else off.

Legally right, morally wrong, but that's just my opinion.
Well that would explain why two mates and I got stopped one evening for riding 2 abreast with me in front. We had mega lights, proper gear on and were riding along a well lit street. We took up significantly less room than, say, a Police horse....Oh, and we didn't do random poo's as we rode, unlike a police horse.

When you overload an electrical circuit, the fuse heats up & the wire melts, breaking the circuit, preventing all kinds of fire related unpleasantness. Since the breaking of the circuit depends on gravity to remove the melted fuse wire from the circuit, what do they use in space craft?
