Sometimes I think it wold be better to drive on the other side of the road. Around 40,000 are killed each year in the US. That is slightly over 100 per day. The country does not worry about that,but let some minor thing hapen and the governmnet is all over it for two or three deaths. Just like the school shootings. They are all over that.

The English are as bad at spelling as I am.

The most common word I see misspelled is color.

Particularly the frigging steering wheel...

So would swimming badly in the ocean. And the taste left in your mouth wouldn't be so bad.

You mean J-turns? Yes they were good at that. The larger ones (eg Rover Maestro) could do it too, but with a lot more engine weight at the front for a more interesting result if you f***ed it up.

They should have called it something else. Mini means small. Those are not small.

The Dacia Sandero is what to buy if you want cheap s*it. It works, it's reliable, but doesn't have any modern conveniences and isn't very large.

They also say "Jagwarrr" - It's jag - yoo - are", like the animal. There's a U, not a W.

None of our Royals are particularly good looking - I assume you were talking about sexual fantasies?

Ah those. I do actually have one that came as part of a kit for about £30. I built a simple oscilloscope which runs off a PP3 battery (that's a 9V alkaline cell the size of two thumbs if you don't have those over there). Works pretty well actually, 3" LCD screen, and it can pick up anything from 5mV to 2000V, from DC to 200kHz.

Bullshit. Brexit will make no changes noticeable to the average person. Maybe some businesses will do better or worse, but nobody will notice or care.

I worked across the water from there in Greenock in IT for a while. And I agree. Glaswegians are ugly, and they speak funny. Everything sounds like it's a question, their voices rise at the end of each sentence like the Aussies.

There's a nudist beach in Scotland. I've never seen more than two nudists on it at a time, and one of those people is me.

Your writing style is very similar to Rod Speed.

Consider a stick shift. I prefer my dominant (right) hand on the wheel, and my left hand on the shifter.

Vegetarians/vegans are sickly looking and suffer from meatnemia because we didn't evolve for bazillions of years eating tofu burgers.

Humans can eat either. Cats only eat meat. Cows only eat vegetation. I'll eat the tastier stuff.

Dead plants? (Or maybe you only drink fresh blood from someone's vein.)

Dead plants don't stink.

Not in this country you don't... I work with Dacia. She gets a little pissed when I ask her if her parents named her after a car.

There you go. I'm left handed so the stick is right where I want it.

Have you read a can of cat food lately? Wheat gluten, soy protein isolate, bunch of chemicals. And that's the good stuff that the cat actually liked.

My mate and his wife named both their kids after cars. The first one after the Austin of his grand dad's that he restored and the second one Portia.

Her dog is quite literally called flea bag, that's its only name.

More often written as "-- /n" , which is dash-dash-SPACE-newline.

And since I don't have a sig, I don't need a separator.

I've never understood this newline thing. Apparently there are two types of carriage return? And when you open a text file with the other type, some text editors f*ck up. Why do we need two?

On typewriters there is a "carriage return" lever which returns the paper carriage to the right, ready to start a new line. It also advances the line feed by 1, 2 or 3 lines depending on how it is set.

In DOS/Windows, these operations are done explicitly, so an ASCII 10 (newline) is followed by an ASCII 13 (return) - or the other way round; I don't remember which.

UNIX just sends a newline; the carriage return is implied. Apple computers (and also the BBC Micro) send a carriage return, and the newline is implied.

This affects the way that (for example) web pages are sent, depending on the OS of the web server, but browsers just treat any combination of adjacent CR and newline characters as a single newline.

in C parlance it is '\n'

ASCII code 10

On typewriters there is a "carriage return" lever which returns the paper carriage to the LEFT, ready to start a new line, it may or may not advance the paper one or more lines depending on how hard you push it.

No, these things are dome IMPLICITLY so an ASCII 13 carriage return is followed by an ASCII 10 Line Feed.

The sequence is known as CR LF

Not these days. Apple is based on Unix ...

Web servers do not care what is in the HTML they feed, their job is to send it unaltered

So no, it does not. Web pages have no concept of CR or LF. All line tabulation is done by markup.

is a new line and line feed.

is a CR and two line feeds.

No. Total crap.

but browsers just treat any combination of

No, they ignore both.

Only inside <code></code>sections are CR or LF characters recognised and acted on.

Soory. Only inside <pre></pre> sections are CR or LF characters recognised and acted on.
