As we are in a new build we ended up tied into British Gas-although we have changed to the same 7p per kWh rate for off peak. Having solar panels also makes a decent dent in the electricity bill.

I think I would get anxious taking it too far- realistic range is 160 miles on a charge but as long as access to top up it would be fine. Very smooth and comfortable- but not as much fun as our Mini Cooper!

Been for work (New Hampshire) and pleasure (Orlando) in recent months. Orlando seemed much quieter to me (at least at Universal) than previous visits. Certainly the better exchange rate (1.35 v 1.20) compensated for higher prices. There were several no-shows at the conference I was at in NH (GRC...

Was listening to "across the rooftops" earlier. Whilst I typically like pretty alternative stuff, it's such a beautiful record. There's an alternate universe where 'Tinseltown in the Rain' was number one for weeks.

There's a lot to the SUV status symbol. Who needs a 'Chelsea Tractor' for the school run and shopping? We bought an EV last week. Hyundai Inster-small four seat mini-SUV style that's more than adequate for the that job or my 15min run to work and son's 30 mins to University. It replaced a small...

Lots of challenges with safe hydrogen for road vehicles. Worked pretty well for Saturn V rockets and easily generated, but logistical challenges abound. Probably the easiest solution would be small local plants that are a direct source of fuel. Could see this for HGVs, but convenience of home...

Ever seen 'The Hunger Games'? If you want dystopia then vote Reform.

Valleys Phil. The Rhondda is two valleys that meet at Porth. Curt is from the Rhonnda Fawr where I grew up up from age 7,

I don't think anyone would. Instrumental in turning a decent team under Jackett into something truly special. The League One winning team was great entertainment. For his faults Sousa gave Martinez's entertainers more of a spine which Brendan was able to take forward to the PL and taken even...

They contain baby milk (formula) which they are trying to get to float ashore. Seems but hopeful but the intention is good.

That's just a matter of time really. 20 years perhaps?

Have you seen the 'Kneecap' film? It's hilarious.

For context it's 18 points for a win with a maximum of 8 bonus points . We can't finish bottom and with games running out two draws is likely to seal second. The three below who could catch us would need to win both games and there's not great weather in the long range forecasts.

241-7. Shake of the hands a draw. 27 points clear of Derbyshire. Two more games.

In fairness he got Martin's number pretty quickly. Had many clashes with him over politics etc. but often agreed with his assessment of sport.
