Electric cars still a bit shite

A very simplistic PoV.

When I last could not get to work, I did what I could from home. That probably achieved between half and three-quarters of my usual work. Had I spent hours getting to work - and allowed similar for the return journey - I might not have managed anything!

Is that so?

It's what's going to happen. Too many people on this planet. We war, pestilence orfamine.

The vast majority can't work from home, I'd say. School kids the same.

There is if you want to travel abroad. They don't have Customs or passport facilities. Mind you, at one French airport I have booked in with passport control on my way out, as I had arrived during their lunch break.

If you're going through life thinking that 'people' are stupid you could have a little psychological quirk. Or maybe just a lot to learn, I dunno.

Ohh you are rude! You fair take my breath away! Anyway, how do you know I'm genetically related to my children? There's many a rum carry-on round here. My friend Cecil has three children, one black, one white, and one khaki. He isn't genetically related to any of them, but they all call him daddy and they all call me Uncle Billy Boy.

Do you ever read any of the links you find, or understand them if you do? You have provided a link to the results of using thorium in a nuclear reactor. What is under discussion is using a few grammes of thorium in a laser.

An extensive driveway suggests wealth, which suggests success. I know your politics are the politics of envy. It all fits together doesn't it?

Yes, the trouble is, you risk sitting near to a nutter. I heard a bloke complaining about it to the driver the other day. Odd thing is he'd been sitting just across from me and I hadn't noticed anything.

They do in Australia.

Thinking about it is not the same as it being a practical possibility. My partner has always viewed my vehicles as being impossibly large to drive and I have to include in my insurance chauffeur recovery of my car from anywhere in Europe, should I ever become unable to drive it home.

Well I don't think animals are stupid. Maybe you should learn something about stupidity?

Fascinating.

Complete waste of time given that with VPN I can work from home. But sometimes one must meet face to face.

What do you suppose would keep the townies in towns? The townies would die in the countryside along with the country folk.

Their inability to walk more than 200 yards Their faith that some socialist government will 'see them right'

No, they would die facing the country folk, who have far higher per capita ownership of shotguns.

And know a bunch of total wasters when they see them.

It probably does to you. No 10 Downing Street, after all, has a very long driveway.

But to others, it might suggest the property is situated where land is cheap...

You seem very good at making up simple explanations for many things. Probably from a simple mind?

Why is it so many here seem to think a tiny percentage of the population is the norm?

Fexofenadine Hydrochloride (Telfast 180mg) in the morning and Cetirizine in the evening for me. Plus a cream that I've forgotten the name of at the moment, when required.

No such thing as cheap land that has planning perm in the UK, thanks to the immigrants.

Another ad hominem attack. Try to wean yourself off this. When you're stuck for something to say just say nothing. Don't just fire off personal abuse that is irrelevant to the point at issue.

No, I don't make up simple explanations. I explain things accurately but in a simple way.
