Doesn't instill confidence that the thing will last 2 years if it breaks after 2 weeks. To add to my rage it took 50 minutes to get from east Kilbride to Hamilton because the schools are back It's still the case that a lot of products have significantly higher failure rates early in their working lives. Before manufacturing tolerances were so (frankly, incredibly!) tight, it was quite common to burn-in high stress, low volume items. Your mower might be absolutely fine for the next few years. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alta-pete Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 On holiday halfway up Loch Fyne this week. Have been coming here 40+ years man and boy. Never before however have I come across on of these chaps as I did this morning.

From the British Reptile and Amphibian Society Apparently there's a few up the Lammermuirs as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only time I’ve ever seen snakes in the wild. Made a hell of a lot of noise. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you do, is make a noise as loud as you can, the f**k off quickly, if not jump on it, and bite it's head off! Cook it, with spicy sauce and rice, feed a table of 4. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florentine_Pogen Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/aug/17/japan-government-launches-competition-to-get-people-drinking-alcohol-drinks-tax-revenue "The Japanese government has launched a nationwide competition calling for ideas to encourage people to drink more alcohol after a change in attitudes among the young resulted in a slide in tax revenues. The Sake Viva! campaign, which is being run by the National Tax Agency (NTA), asks 20- to 39-year-olds to come up with proposals to help revitalise the popularity of alcoholic drinks, which have fallen out of favour because of lifestyle changes during the coronavirus pandemic and among young people." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Looking forward to the UK version. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hk blues Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 18 minutes ago, Mr. Alli said: I'm perplexed. What are the obvious reasons? Privacy Laws ahem. Actually it applies in both Japan and Korea. South Korea also followed suit But unlike Japan, where wireless carriers took a step, in Korea, the government itself set a recommendation in 2004 to have phones always make a sound louder than 65 decibels when a photo is taken. This was also done to curb spy shots and boost privacy. Why do Japanese phones have shutter sound? And, unfortunately, it's also the birthplace of creeps taking photos with their phones that they shouldn't be taking, like up a woman's skirt. As a result, mobile phone carriers in Japan worked with mobile phone manufacturers to make the annoying shutter sound standard (and irremovable) on all phones. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, but at least in the UK perverts can carry on with their work without pesky shutter sounds alerting their victims. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
