I have little to no interest in driving cars, it is merely the least inconvenient way of getting to work and getting rid of my kids on the way.(

Morning allToday I have the delightful task of re-writing the blurb for each machine in a particular range ready for our new website. This afternoon I will be helping some colleagues set up for a Dental trade show.
Neither of these prospects fill me with unbounded joy. However, I will be dining massively and getting drunk on expenses tonight. Swings and roundabouts I suppose.

Morning.I installed one of those alarm clocks on my phone last night that supposedly goes off at the 'right' part of your sleep cycle so you're not groggy.
I got a shit nights sleep but when I woke up I had little desire to go back to sleep; I was in work on time for the first time in ages.

You tell it you're going to bed.Then you're supposed to leave the phone on your mattress and it uses it's accelerometers to determine what stage of sleep you're in.
It could well be bollocks. I'll see how it goes.
You can also set it up so it makes you do a bit of maths before turning the fucker off to prove you're awake so you don't just go straight back to bed.

Not quite, by about 200 yardsWill be soon though. Anyhow, Warwickshire is part of the Midlands (just not the West Midlands)

The Midlands starts at Beaconsfield, as far as I'm concernedits southern boundary is the M40 and M25. Beyond that, there be dragons. And slope-browed, knuckledragging neanderthals.

When Supermarine were designing the spitfire it was originally built with round head rivets rather then flush ones, as these were cheaperHowever the additional drag caused by the rivets knocked a couple of mph off the planes top speed and that could mean the difference between life and death.
As previously mentioned flush rivets were too expensive to use across the entire aircraft so to understand where they had to use the flush rivets and where they could get away with using the round head rivets they made a plane with entirely flush head rivets and then glued split peas to every one.
over the course of many test they added and removed split peas to simulate the round headed rivets, until they came across the optimal combination that had a negligible effect on top speed but wasn't too expense to build.
tl:dr -wee wee tapirs
