Commander Ally Pollard used to own an Elan Sprint. Her second in command found this out and thought it would be a suitable surprise for her to be driven from the Ship as she exited the gang plank for her final time immediately after the ceremony to pass command to the incoming Captain before finishing at the Officers mess (we managed to include a 20 minute blast in there too)

We were then given a tour of the Warship that arrived back from Canada last Friday from another officer. Extremely interesting day. Super tight security but I guess it is a nuclear site.

Let's put the next Tesla rapid charging station on that flood plain over there, What could possibly go wrong 😁.

I'm sure the model X could make it to the chargers. And if there would happen to be some accidents while connectiing the chargers, we'll just put that down to Darwinism.

I am thinking  of starting a new business in Tesla Wellies 🤪. Just need a suitable tag line for the advertising.

When I first started out my apprenticeship with the LEB (anyone remember them) as a primary engineer so 132kv down to 11kv. When you had to prove some thing was “dead” you strapped a device around the supposedly dead cable and shot a bullet through it. 
 

one day the engineer (not me) had turned off the wrong one. I strapped the device to it and remotely by way of a bit of string pulled on it and it was live. Well fuck me it blew up like something you wouldn’t believe, in them days there were no fuses the whole of the London grid was solidly linked so if it blew you could find the fault quickly. Probably not relevant but I saw the 400kv power line behind that photo and it reminded me of it. 
 

I gave it up as all the Primary not Secondary (they were 11kv to 415v) we’re bald, to a man,  no joke that is true. And I am now ........yep bald. I will sue them one day😂

We were privileged to help out as the outgoing Commanding Officer of HMS Northumberland left her Ship for the last time today in Devonport. 

Is that 5 Basin, or out on the Tamar?

I guess thata certain car brand invited a certain English carbrand inside to allure them how to make it steer... Or was it in fact Nissan who used Lotus to develop the steering on their Nissan GTR?

Merry Christmas Mr. lawrence.

Kind regards,
