Aimed mainly at the Brits, but 'mercans could do with sorting their act out on this one too There are medical advances all the time and whole blood is being used less than it used to be and perhaps one day there will be a safe substitute, but, for the time being at least this is not the case...

He had a Garmin Quest and was perfectly happy with it. It broke. So, what next? Bike-proof (ie waterproof) with ram mount compatible parts available. Bluetooth, 3D, and all that nonsense is irrelevant. Simply and good, easy to see Sat Nav that is ideally also hand portable. And Garmin as...

We are rennovating. I am in charge of the bathroom. Apparently, if I have a hand in designing it, I might use it more often. With a username like mine.... I don't think so. Anyhoo, comments on my tastes aside, I want pointers as to where I cvan find a decent selection of tiles in the UK. I...

Drizzle rain drizzle wind shower rain today :mad: The stuff was just sticking to my visor and blurring up, I am sure my visor used to 'bead' the water years ago - but maybe that is just nonsense. Does anyone use 'cleaning products' or have any tips to keep your visor as clear as possible in...
