BP Ultimate fuel is defo better than supermarket fuel. It has a higher octane & cetane rating and I think it makes your engine run smoother with better acceleration. Does cost a little more though than regular stuff. Worth it I think.

If you are looking for an about the town car, buy a petrol. Many diesels have diesel particulate filters in-line in the exhaust to trap soot and they often get blocked in town / city driving situations You then have to take the car a blast up the Motorway or drive at 4,000 RPM or so to regenerate the filter (bake off the soot). Pain in the erse.

Wee dram of Jura Origin malt.

Some experts think it was the tail rotor that failed. If the tail rotor fails in a helicopter it is bad news as the helicopter would normally spin out of control if the main rotor is still turning. Pilot appeared to have cut the fuel supply to the two engines.

Tragic. R.I.P. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2516182/Fire-chief-rushed-helicopter-crash-police-hero-sister-law-dead-32-injured-black-day-Scotland.html

Former RAF pilot from Stenhousemuir with a 20 year career in the RAF. He was an accomplished Chinook pilot. http://www.thesundaytimes.co.uk/sto/news/uk_news/National/article1347658.ece?CMP=OTH-gnws-standard-2013_11_30 R.I.P.

Looks like the pilot prevented a bigger tragedy by turning off the fuel supply to the engines preventing a fire on impact.

Seconded.

Pawnbrokers, bookies, payday loan shops...the hight street is in decline. The rise of the Internet from the mid 1990's onwards, and therefore much more online shopping, together with aircraft hangar sized supermarkets (now selling many more items than in the past) is the main reason I think. http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/uk-world-news/decline-of-scottish-town-centres-bookies-1114294

Indeed, it's actually a village population around 800.

Wednesday 25 Aug 1971 was the last Morton win at Celtic Park, also in the League Cup when it was in the group stage format. The score was the same 0-1. This song was no. 3 in the charts: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oEqFZnqe3pk&hd=1 Also in August 1971, the first men to drive on The Moon returned to Earth. Their Lunar Rover is still up there (along with another 2 from later missions)

1971 since last Morton win at Celtic Park......
