  1. You do, there are European elections you can vote in. This idea that unelected beaurocats pass policy is one of the great myths. The commission write policy, but elected people vote on it.
  2. Read an article the other day about the amount of power the Facebook app draws from your iPhone/iPad. The nub of it was that the app can be rather busy in the background and this in turn can impact battery life. Without going into full detail of the jobs it is running in the background (some you can turn off like location, some you can't like clipboard scanning, photo scanning, etc) they did a vaguely scientific test over a week where they used Facebook via Safari instead of the app. They found batteries were on average 15% healthier if the app was not used. That's quite a chunk. Obviously this will vary by how heavily you use Facebook but if you're struggling with battery life suggest: - double tapping the home key - swiping the Facebook app away - use Facebook via Safari for a few days - see if there's a difference to you There's no need to delete the app, IMO, just make sure you've properly closed it, not just pushed it to the background. I've been doing it for 3 days now and reckon there's about 10% in it and I can't say Facebook in Safari is particularly harder to use than the app itself. I am now slightly curious as to what's it doing in the background that isn't configurable to drain so much juice...

  3. Start one up. I'm sure a thread like that would be well subscribed and a bit different.
  4. My mistake then, I thought it was part of impact absorption and particularly for upsidedowness.
  5. How would replacing the windscreen and hatch, with a product like that, impact rigidity and strength in an impact?
  6. I see what you mean but, it's a YES or NO rather than a one of many, so the result won't be as nuanced as say the General Election. Also as England is by far and away the most populous, I'm making a (possibly flawed) working assumption that the overall UK vote result won't be different to whatever result of an England based vote would be (in a hypothetical country by country vote).
  7. Sub question. Should the people of the U.K. vote to leave, would the SNP be in a position to (and rightly so in my mind) demand a new independence referendum? And not just the Scots, there's the Welsh and Northern Irish assemblies who might feel they're better off as a part of Europe than they are a part of the U.K.
  8. So what you're saying is, you're in no position to confirm either the state of banana bending or the reinstatement of imperial weights and measures, in a post-exit world? Thanks!
  9. Have you done the re-learn? There's the easy one: Then there's the one with the button press on the motor here http://www.350z-uk.com/index.php?showtopic=55900.
  10. Good god, that's ridiculous. THREE! Totally understand why you'd want to do something. Maybe a separate rear cam on the rear window? Rather than a dual cam up front.
  11. Given where it's mounted, I can't imagine it's too different to what you see in your rear view mirror. You'd have to be careful getting the exposure right, or you could end up with a bright shot of your boot and no view out the back.
  12. You're dead right about the amount wanting to leave, it's certainly not just you. My Dad's been on about it today, specifically migration. The irony is, he freely admits his most reliable staff are Polish and fumes when he can't get hold of them for seasonal work
  13. All policy is actually passed by elected people, the beauracts draft legislation, they don't approve it. Making some regulation centrally actually reduces effort. EU tyre markings? There's not a day goes by where I don't think of the injustices these cause In what world does it make more sense to have different standards (not just on tyres) for every single country in Europe, than having one standard across the continent? Why do something once, when you can do it 28 times?
  14. Cobra y-pipe. No more vids, sorry. They don't really capture the sound that well, really a meet is the best place to preview exhausts. I find I get a bit of drone at some cruising revs (nothing a shift won't solve) and a fair bit of rasp. If I ever sort out a decent external, wind-proof mic for the go pro I'll post it footage up.
  15. I'll vote to stay in. The reforms Dave's been "battling for Britain" (it sickens me every time he abuses that phrase) don't add up to a hill of beans. People will vote to leave unless The Sun decides otherwise. The bananas will return to a bendier state and be sold by the lb and some non-nationals will lose some in work benefits. The nationals who don't habitually work now will continue to not work. On the positive side, when the people vote to leave, Dave will have to resign. Also we'll finally be able to explode the myth that EU migration is driven by benefits and migrants are what's been ruining the NHS and education and the roads and the economy and stopped England winning the World Cup and the crap weather and the drop off in quality of the pies at Mrs Miggins' Pie Shop
  16. Took me 3 attempts just to get into the car park! No room for drift
  17. In a hotel for a night out, the car park is ridiculous, half my lip is on the ramp and the doors have no paint left. But it was worth it Couldn't resist. No one else was around so no ears were hurt. Might do a longer one in the morning... Berks HFC + cobra resonated.
  18. Not sure that colour works. I'll take the lot off you for £100 and I'll be doing you a favour! Sensational!
  19. Totally normal It's just asking for a supercharger instal!
