Right I saw news stories, just not e.g. an advertising campaign, but I might have missed it. Retests every few years seems perfectly reasonable, although sadly beyond current DVSA capacity

Looks like the original has been swept away by the sands of time.

parents in the park holding their baby up to watch the digger move about an adjacent construction sit….. really great to see! longitudinal studies have shown that parental interventions within the child’s first eighteen months are the biggest predictor of later success as an umarell

Greg Davies: Walked out of the underworld. Didn't look back once. Job done!

Orpheus: Thanks

I don't think it was well publicised. I was learning to drive at the time which helped. I still find it confuses pedestrians sometimes when I stop for them at junctions

Sup chat this is Slouching Towards Bethlehem with your boy The Rough Beast, and it looks like today’s stream could be a big one, as some of you might’ve already seen there are rumors going around social media that the hour has come round at last, so we’re gonna get right into it

Remember to look out for illegal "cut & shut" posts, where two bits of different posts are welded togethDorset until the late 40s, where he married a cellist from Bratislava, and died of pneumonia.

Whaling For over 150 years Dundee men were involved in the dangerous job of hunting whales, drawn by the possibility of large profits. The City's textile trade needed whale oil to soften jute fibre, and Dundee became Britain's premier whaling port. Whaling took place in the Arctic seas during summer. Many Dundee men and ships were lost in the hazardous Arctic ice. The industry came to an end just before the start of the First World War, after heavy fishing destroyed the whale stocks. Its loss was a serious blow for Dundee, affecting not only the supply of whalebone and oil but whole industries like shipbuilding, blacksmithing and leather tanning.
