Two ways to wipe your arse after a st
Front to back hand round the side of your ass cheek or back to front hand between the legs.

Which is the most popular for men and is it different for women.

Mercedes are making the project one
Bugatti made the Chiron

2 examples of huge manufacturers making something because they can while not necessarily turning over a profit on those specific models.

The Concorde was designed in the 60’s right? 50 years later, why is there nothing like it, There definitely isn’t a shortage of wealth out there so I am certain there is a market for it.

I know the answer, it’s just not profitable enough but what happened to creating something incredible because you can? I wonder what Boeing or Airbus would be able to make with today’s technology !

You lift off before it gets that far. If you didn't then using your method it would end up smeared all the way up your back...

At a guess, because it’s been done. If there was something Concorde couldn’t do but that was, in engineering terms, a stretching possibility, I’m sure someone would have a go. As it is, they created what was, and still is, a marvel that can’t be significantly bettered.

Also, the cost difference must be phenomenal between designing and building a car or designing and building an aircraft. Maybe prohibitively so?

Why can you ahem “last” so much longer first thing in the morning than at any other time of the day - is there something very special about morning glory which allows this difference?

Concorde was never intended as a loss making entity and IIRC, did eventually begin to turn a profit towards the end of its run. However, your point is valid as when the idea for it came about, it was driven by many things other than financial projections and very much on a 'build it and they will fly in it' basis.

What's more astonishing is that is was born from the ranks of Labour. Can you imagine Corbyn signing off on such a thing today? Think of the babies!!

Project One and the Chrion are designed as engineering showcases; demonstrating the capabilities of the companies so that the good feeling this generates results in the shifting of more Polos and A classes.

I think the answer is implicit in the question - being 55+ and working in those places is probably enough to make anyone miserable ( except my local post office staff - they're lovely smile )

I've noticed on news programmes and breakfast TV that when doing interviews with people that are not in the office there is a noticeable delay between the interview asking a question and the interviewee hearing it, as if they are using satelite phones. Are they using sat phones and if so, why when services such as Skype are so prevalent?

I get it if the other person in in Iraq, but this is people in offices in London.

Wait! What? You still have a local post office?

Clerical error there. All the rest have been closed!

I've done a fair few bits to camera and radio where this happens and it takes a lot of getting used to.

The reasons are variable but normally down to the connection capacity at source. If I'm in a hotel with super fast wifi and Skype, then there's seldom any delay. If I'm stood on a landfill in the middle of nowhere with two bars on a 3G signal then that tends to cause an issue.

The BBC also use some live compression software which can experience some latency.

Well it wouldn't because my back doesn't hang down behind my crack...



A wipe is ~4" if you use a decent amount of the sheet, so as you're using the last inch, the first inch, heavily soiled, will make contact.

If you wanted to go back to front you'd either have to use very short wipes or wipe almost vertically, neither of which is very efficient.

(I'm assuming the folding technique, might be different if you're a scruncher.)

Partly, I'd also suggest the cost of building a mega plane is far more than building a mega car.

It's something that first struck me when I went to a greasy-chicken shop in London for a lazy dinner whilst on work experience.

The three young people in the back were offering terrible service, being paid a pittance but were giggling away to themselves as the two young guys were flirting with the young girl there. They couldn't be bothered to serve me because I obviously wasn't pretty enough, but the being in the most expensive city in Europe in such a low job didn't seem to bother them much...

... the guy that served me looked to be in his late forties and ready to end it all.

It really struck me how happiness seems linked to your percieved direction in life as opposed to the position you find yourself in.
