The usual catch alls for that type of thing are: (1) it's a test from [insert diety] of your faith (2) the [insert diety] moves in mysterious ways (3) it is the will of [diety]

That's an extremely tidy looking Zed, prettiest colour too. GLWTS

That's probably how some people felt after they decreed that Earth, Wind, Fire and Water were the elements, now there's the periodic table. They probably felt the same when Newton's Laws became established, then Einstein came along. Granted there's higher and lower degrees of certainty, but once you believe in an absolute truth, you've forgone the capacity to take on new evidence. That's dogma. Take the CERN / OPERA experiment where they thought a particle had travelled faster than light. We suspect this yo be impossible thanks to Einstein, but they didnt just say, "we all know that's impossible", they reexamined the evidence and found out someone dropped a nut. If there hadn't been a mistake, that "rule" would have been smashed and a new one formulated.

Exactly. Thats the whole point. Once you say you know something for sure, you stop progressing.

You don't. Once you think you have the "truth" you stop learning.

I wouldn't have said science is truth, it's the current working theory based on repeatedly observed evidence. It always tickles me that people get the hump when science changes its mind, "oh, last week they said smoking was ok, but they've changed their mind" like revising and considering new evidence and reformulating a position is a bad thing. A sign of weakness. Just keep saying things over and over, without any consideration of the evidence - now THAT'S a proper position

Any reason you don't use a shampoo? I mean there's loads of things that do the job, like fairy liquid, but it's not like car shampoo is expensive.

I've always said, if I was going to join one of these cults, Paganism is the way to go.

In the top right corner of any sig you don't fancy is a little X. You can use this to hide that member's sig or just all sigs everywhere.

Not so long ago I would have agreed with you, but a special 4th Of July ICBM test by Kim and Big Don taking that as Kim spilling his pint and laughing at his tiny hands, the odds on September 23rd are getting shorter. The good news is that by having Nuclear weapons in the hands of lunatic despots, that actually makes everyone safer

Now that we've cleared that up, and the best ways to philander, back on topic. More End Of The World please.

Might be worth a cheeky cache clear.

Please can we not use CRFA on the new forum, I don't want this to catch on.

IMTD is part of Ryan Motorsport I believe.

When you say it "explained" it, do you mean it just made the claim or there was actually some evidence to it? I find it quite surprising given the treatment Galileo got from the Catholic Church for suggesting the Earth wasn't the centre of the universe, based on actual observations, some 1700 years later.

I was very tempted to give it a swerve, but then I had a think about how stupid I'd feel if the worst should happen

It's not strictly a track day, it's cover for driver training at Millbrook, so no one will be ploughing anywhere near me, it'll be me doing the ploughing!

Laughing at someone's perfectly reasonable comment and then tears in the very next line about condescension. Need a hug hun?

I was going to use the last of the summer wine theme for the mature members, but alas copyright got in the way.

I've just used insuremytrackday, quote was £130 for £15k cover, the excess is a wedge though at £1200. Personally I'd find it hard to relax and enjoy without knowing there was some, albeit caveated, cover in place.

It's a very useful one for following people or posts. I also like tagging @Stuggerz

A shortish video to illustrate some of the new features and how to do the things you used to know how to do but may no longer know how to do. If you have any other questions, specifically about How To (not, I don't like the colours etc) then post them up and I'll do my best to provide an answer in text or vid. Hope you're enjoying the new space.

Either of these.
