That work on their own? Mind control? ;-) you still need a hand to do it.

Now this is what the electric handbrake was invented for......

But you would still be pressing the button, putting the clutch in and out and cursing thirty seconds after the lights had gone green.

I'm loving having a handbrake I'm not scared of using! Into N handbrake up and relax for me. Unless I'm about to race, then it's clutch bite point, 2.3l5/3k revs, then glf on amber!

 

If I know I'm moving off in less than 5 or so seconds I will just hold it on the clutch though, usually on the bypass, if I see a few cars in front brake lights go off and they move forward I just stay as I am, if not then handbrake.

Don't you just drive off and the ebrake self releases?

That's how it works on the Disco 3....

Only had it on a shitty Meriva courtesy car and it was a bloody nightmare. You had to have your foot on the brake and the clutch depressed and then it would think about releasing it it if felt like doing so. Utter pile of crap.

I will begrudgingly admit that the handbrake in a hired meriva I had actually worked okay.

I still hated it though.

Ah...

Or you could just use the handbrake?

Try it in an XM!

 

Oh you have!

Merc GL?

Yes, or ML, but I think it’s a trick question if you look again at the photo.

Too subtle for me, if you draw a big red ring round something that's what I look at.

That's is one fancy looking chair. Is it a super special one, old or anything?

It's looks like it's Reitveld chair, a sort of three dimensional Mondrian, I suspect it's more for looking at than sitting on, I like it.

Replica made by Mrs Concern when she attended London Collage of Furniture in the 80s. It's actually very comfortable due to the angles being ergonomically correct.

Well it's a very nice chair and if you ever feel like donating it to me I'm more than happy to take it :-)

i think the passenger in the red car is "tired" as she seems to be "lying down"

I’m not going to go into much detail, but I had a medical issue many months ago.

I’ve seen specialists, who refer to specialists, who refer to specialists, who refer to specialists.

 

I went to see the final specialist again today who I believe is the gatekeeper of the prescription needed. He’s not putting me on them, instead he told me to google the condition... he showed me how google worked and sent me on my way, I’m going back in two months to see if anything worked. If not then about 2 months after that I get the pills.

 

 

I don’t want to be on any tablets, but he fucking sat down and showed me how to google!!! :D

Report the patronising prick.

Surely a doctor shouldn’t be telling anyone to take internet advice

 

If that’s actually okay then I recommend cocaine and prostitutes for your condition - it’s on the internet so it must be true

Talking of the internet, I think I've just ordered fibre broadband. This could be amazing. If it actually happens.
