Thanks to Machiavelli for the Wild Flor recommendation, we went last week and had the lunch menu which really was excellent. I think it came to around £110 with 3 courses and drinks, which was great value considering the quality of the food and service.

For me the most naturally talented footballer of all time. People point to the drugs and bad behaviour however I think his off field antics make it even more of a miracle that he reached the levels that he did! Without the training, support, playing surfaces and protection from refs afforded to...

I quite like a track that was considered for OK computer but never made the cut 'Man Of War'.

A couple of weeks ago we tried the set lunch at Fourth and Church that Machiavelli recommended. Really good food and very reasonable, think it came to around £90 for the 2 of us with drinks. Have put a once a month lunch with the wife in the diary so looking for other recommendations of places...

I agree, and both fighters far too open to make the step up, every punch thrown seemed to land! Made for a great fight though, a proper slug fest.

I dont think you can say he was robbed! It was a close fight and Wardley also knocked Clarke down in the 5th.

Ultimately whether Volvo have dropped a clanger will be born out by sales and not by the opinion of Journalists! The model Y was Europes biggest selling car last year so the central touchscreen doesn't seem to be deterring people from buying Teslas.

As Audax has just pointed out it really depends a lot on how the software is designed on the touchscreen and also where it is in your vision. On my drive to work this morning I noticed that the speed, warning lights and other key indicators are up in the far right hand corner of the screen...

Its an interesting question but I would imagine that we momentarily look at stuff other than the road quite a lot more than we realise when driving, this could be looking directly at things or in our peripheral vision or just getting distracted by people in the car, functions of the car or stuff...

I just dont understand how its anymore dangerous than a standard car, I only sent 5 minutes in one the other day but there was a left hand column stalk which looked like it was for indicators and wipers and a right hand column for gear shift. Lights and wipers are also automatic in most cars...

Theres absolutely no issues with having most of the controls through a central screen, Tesla have been doing this for years and I have owned 3 of them without any issues and theres certainly nothing dangerous about it. The HMI in the ID 3 got slated primarily because it was laggy and had lots of...

It's also about being able to prepare properly for the next opponent. If you finish a game on Thursday night in Europe and then travel back to the UK it can't give much time to prep the team tactically for the next fixture. Maybe a couple of hours max on the training ground to prepare for a very...

I don't understand the relevance of national service to this argument, the reason we have less troops is because the UK government has been actively trying to reduce troop numbers and the size of our army. It's a political decision that troop numbers have been declining which could be reversed...

1st generation Roadster was tesla first car! They were 2 seaters based on the old Lotus Elise platform so it wouldnt be one of them. It may have been a model S and maybe even the plaid version which does 0-60 in 2 seconds!
