Bump, so that @brownnova can start his laptop now to avoid issues at 8pm.

I might have something of mild interest to @LightBulbFunto show off if my second scrapyard trip goes well!

I wonder where the belted in rear passengers ended up.

I suspect it's more a case of what size microwave oven / wardrobe / chemikhasi ended up embedded in the back of their heads.  Motorcaravans really are just a chassis cab and some papier-mache.  To travel in the back of one, it really needs to be a steel-bodied van conversion rather than an aluminium/timber/ply "coachbuilt" one.  I'd hate to see what would happen if someone side-swiped or t-boned one.. the entire body would just disintegrate:

I'm learning calculus so I don't think I'll be awake enough to be on this time.

I’ll have to start and hand straight over. I have a set of books which need marking for tomorrow…

Reminder for tonight, and a reminder for @Six-cylinder to take the merry piss out of me and my LandCruiser again!

I'm doing this stuff today

Definite Integral Calculus Examples, Integration - Basic Introduction,  Practice Problems - YouTube

So I'll probably be fast asleep like last time.

I plan to use my Range Rover at the weekend so that might take the smile off my face!

When I was at collage my scientific calculator had 52 functions, I understood 48 of them. Now I remember four, + - × /!

Way more collectable and advanced than mine- it even has the functions I'm currently in need of right now!

Fortunately, we can do quite a lot of this stuff in spreadsheets.

My dad had a scientific calculator much like that when I were a nipper.  Red LED display if memory serves.

By the time I did my A levels he'd moved on to a fancy top-of-the-range Texas Instruments thing with a QWERTY keyboard.  I borrowed it for my exam - my "revision" consisted mainly of typing all the formulae I'd need into the calculator's memory.  QWERTY keyboards on calculators were such a newfangled thing at the time that the exam regulators hadn't got around to banning them.

Yes red LED, it still works but has to be plugged into its charger.

I've got that near exact model, somewhere.

Also got a Reverse Polish Decimal Sinclair calculator somewhere.

Glad I'm not the only one who thought of that!

If you want your mind numbed, try solving:

How could one wobble in to this tonight, just to lurk around in the background?
