Leave London. I moved there when I was 26 and left when I was 40. I should have left at least 5 years earlier. It took a marriage and imminent birth of a child to finally push me into leaving. I now live in a small city (250k-300k people) i

Total brand confusion. There is already a well established manufacturer of light aircraft called Aquila[1]. My initial thought was that they'd launched a new model. [1] http://aquila-aero.com/

We do have lots of musical books, where you push the spot on the page and usually an animal plays some instrument. At the moment, we feel he is a little too small at 2 for his own instruments, as they will be destroyed in pretty short order

I have a 2-year-old son. When his mother's not around we listen to AC/DC, Nirvana, Foo Fighters, Soundgarden, Smashing Pumpkins, Live, Metallica, Pearl Jam and others of similar genre and era. When I sit down at the computer he ru

I think this will probably be one of the biggest challenges for this project. Bovine excrement and odour are very briefly mentioned in the article, but not nearly in enough detail. While the dairy machinery itself is usually well cleaned af

I'm not so sure. I think it could be argued that many open source service models fall under Personal Computer Technical Support. Let's say I set myself up as a Linux guru (I'm not, but for the point of the argument, let'

As much as many Leave voters might wish for it, the geographic position of the United Kingdom is unlikely to change and therefore they will remain part of Europe.

It's interesting that this article mentioned Ireland with regards to corporate taxes. I don't know the background to the Apple story noted in the article, but I am well aware that corporate tax is not standardised across Europe.[1

Which is true, unless your business falls in their "Prohibited" list [1]. It's quite a long and wide ranging list, which would appear to restrict many businesses from accepting Stripe payments. For example, 51. Personal compu

Years ago I raced in the Ducati Desmodue series in the UK. Class B, aircooled, twin cylinder Supersport and Monster 600 bikes, putting out around 50-55bhp. Once you had those things set up properly and on a twistier circuit, like Cadwell Pa

The point was that none of these animals actually want to kill people, which was stated in the parent post.

What terrifying stories have you heard about the Australian Outback? Having lived a large proportion of my life in what would be described as rural Australia, if not quite the Outback, I can't really think of anything that is actively

Consider Ireland. Initial setup costs might be a little more onerous and expensive than the UK, but can still essentially be completed easily online. The benefit with Ireland is that corporate tax is only 12.5%, compared to 20% in the UK.[0

It's a bit of a shame the European side of the world didn't have much of a chance to vote. When I logged off around midnight last night, this thread wasn't posted. When I logged on at 0700 this morning, voting was closed.

The last time the All Blacks lost to Australia, in New Zealand, was 2001. That's 18 tests at home without loss to the Wallabies.[0] Of course, Australia hasn't been ranked second best in the world that entire time. Against the Bok

As I'd been messing about with clockspeed and acpi on my laptop earlier, with the fan spinning madly, I too thought this was to be an article about cooling those great machines of the past.

First thing I noticed in that picture was that the rifleman is left handed. As a casual marksman, using club rifles, I'm often frustrated by the bolt being on the wrong side (catering for all the right-handers).

I don't have Goggle Play Services installed on my phone and am not going to do so. I understand why companies want their apps in the "Store" for discovery purposes. However, I don't understand why they won't provide
