And you think you have problems I have logged on before - but forgotten the ID I used to logon. When I try to log on It tells me I'm not who I say I am and it will send me an E-mail to tell me who I really am so I can log on. But I've changed my E-Mail address since I logged on so it tells...

The things that stir the memory. There used to be slugs, most certainly and, I believe ergs as well. Which brought to mind what must have been the most eccentric lecturer I have ever come across. I was an Electrickery student but for reasons I never understood we had to do a course in...

Wonderful looking things, never owned one - they were far to good for me. I once tried a circular slide rule but easily lost track of a long calculation - didn't know if I was coming or going. We had one lecturer who had a sort of mechanical calculating engine. Looked a bit like a coffee mill...

Well I don't know if Stockholm is sinking or not. I do know the depths shown a mile or so off Tynemouth is 138 What I would like to know is 138 what? millimeters, Angstrom units, Rods Poles or Perches Cos my Admiralty chart and my depth sounder both agree that there is less than 25 meters.

Just been having a look at this Are the depths shown in Feet? Looking just off river Tyne - shows 100+ as depth and I am sure the true depth is nothing like 100 metres.

You would need some big muscles to support the batteries.

Thanks Vic Now in no pain at all I can remove and replace my injectors with a clear conscience.

Fat or thin Wide or narrow not really the question. Colin Chapman knew the answer: If you want it to go faster you must add lightness Simple Light means quick heavy means comfortable. Whatever boat you look at will be a compromise between these two Catermeringues do well on speed because...

Can anyone tell me how many foot-pounds there are in a Newton-meter. Should be able to work it out but its been a bad day and my brain hurts.

"Their site usability is one of the worst I have come across in 30 years of IT and about 15 years of developing web based solutions. " Nah Its not that good.

I thought it had been nicked a few years ago. mmmmm

Re: update on \"red diesel in the Netherlands\"-thread Absolutely right I go sailing to get away from hassle and argument. I certainly am not going looking for it. Sorry but for me the cloggies have blown it.

"aircraft meeting aircraft to intercept or refuel from it...." And try to get it right this time!
