It's worth bearing this statistic in mind as we discuss this: 38,000 people a year die early because of diesel emissions testing failures. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2017/may/15/diesel-e

I've known people go up for the Up Helly! I went to the one on Arran once, but I seem to recall it was in the Summer or Autumn. There was camping up the glen involved so it couldn't have winter time.

While I recall this rumour I thought it was widely discredited. Was there any actual evidence of this?

As a consumer this doesn't worry me as to be able to crack my phone it looks like they would already have to have access to my face to make the mask (and an expert sculpture to make a nose). If they could demonstrate it working from a

I've tried it and there is still a problem: the cursors draw from wherever the previous cursor was. This makes it impossible to draw a line of cursors vertically through your text without first placing a single cursor at either the top

It's an amazing aromatic addition to potato curry. Just a tiny drop (1/4 teaspoon) adds a subtle dimension to a large pot of potatoes. It's almost like a flavour enhancer. A word of warning: It is very potent. I store mine in
