Locally we sometimes "go crwazy" and use Apple Maps to see how good the directions are to get to a named place. Sometimes it works but mostly we revert to a garmin or google maps :( (Live in Somerset, UK)

It's slightly more complex than that. If the helmet cracked then the force of the collision was transferred to your skull. Admittedly cracking the helmet would have taken some force out of the collision, but the moment it cracked it b

As others have said in this thread, just raise taxation on fuel. In the UK ($8.50 per US gallon) it has encouraged people towards more efficient vehicles and the government has made electric vehicles free from yearly charges (Vehicle Excise

I've just integrated all of our 7,000+ products into Amazon and one of the things Amazon is trying to do now is persuade us to use Fulfilled by Amazon (FBA). It's quite attractive to us as a retailer as they take all the negative

A 'lot' of these jobs have contact with children and the news organisations have done enough damage to societies perception that a man wanting to work with children is probably a pedophile to wreck that career path. 'Somethin

There is a part of me (I'm a UK resident) that looks at this and wants to see what would happen. As an outsider looking in (and having lived in the USA in the 80s), I don't see a country, I see corporation. A place where the rich

Honestly they appear to have found a nice way for me to personally give them money and get something in return. I don't have to use the features but the fact I can give them a little bit of money for a product that has had a massive im

Well I really didn't expect to end up watching this all the way through. Worth every second. Be aware this is NSFW but I'm not sure if the film would have lost anything if the NSFW clips had been left out.

This is not what I would call a bicycle. It's a motorbike that allows you to pedal should you want to. In the UK, this would need a motorbike licence. There are strict rules as to how an electric bicycle may assist you and up to what s

This calls to me on so many levels. I was contracting all around the UK traveling up to 5 hours per day with a 5:30am start and home around 9pm and even living away. Now I've gone permie locally. I get up at 7:30am, walk the dog, make

Will look into it. I've avoided trying to eat less. I've just started a low carb diet as wheat seems to play havoc with me, but this I try not to calorie count. If I'm hungry I eat.

I would strongly suggest anyone looking at this and saying they don't have the time to invest in this to also consider the mental benefits that exercise brings. I don't feel I have time (which I know is wrong) and I particularly d

Gotta say men have and will for ever more stick their dicks into pretty much anything. I wouldn't be surprised if 'sexbots' actually advance realistic robots quicker as suddenly there is profit to be made.
