Someone asked what the muscles around your ribs are called.

Intercostals. They simply replied 'no' then blocked me.

Bit of a head melt today - course work plus 3 X 20 question multiple guess touch screen tests that some needed reference to 3 chunky specifications and standards publication.

Managed a 1st time pass on all of them I'm please to say and tomorrow looks like being an easier day :)

Oh well, answered a simple question - got blocked. :( Was trying to be helpful but hey ho.

Quite possibly you mean intercostals. They're generally in 3 layers and mainly come into play during heavy breathing needs such as exercise / coughing / sneezing.

Well known in medical circles, the last minute 'recovery'. It is like they just want time to say goodbye. Many, many relatives get lulled into a sense of getting better - then wham :(

I'm pretty sure most people on here have seen a bra before - go for it.

What is the point of a qualification if the tutor goes through all of the questions one by one and tells the group what to put in :(

Makes a mockery of it all and pisses off those of us who took the time to make notes and study for it.

If it hasn't got anything growing on it then it isn't out of date. If it has got things growing on it cut that bit off, then the rest won't be out of date :)

The problem is simply self centred, selfish parents who think they are somehow entitled to park anywhere. Some enforcement from police for dangerous parking would help a little.

All they've done is move the problem a little further out. Just blocks the surrounding roads instead. Refuse collector drivers are now having to drive past streets and come back to them later.

The school safe zone closures are also screwing up food deliveries to the schools and refuse collections. DCC have fined several of their refuse drivers for doing the round DCC have sent them on.

Corporation Street closure makes it more difficult to get to Intu via Stores Road and from Cockpit end over to some of the smaller pay & displays. Add to that and not everyone is there in office hours when P&R is running.

I just made you 1 closer. Hope that helps.

Damn - that would be me too. Love carrot cake.

Conundrum. I took a photo of a little shunting engine. Sadly there's a damned great shadow and two tarpaulins that spoil it. As a test I asked Photoshop to remove them.

I now love the image. I'd never enter it to competition, but should I offer it for sale? Does the end result justify the process?

The citizens of the US of A seem to value their 'right to bear arms' more highly than their right not to get shot.

I'm off on a course all of next week. Not used to being on the student side of things.

Well the egg project needs me to be in my studio so painted another few metres of boat wall instead. About half way now.

BMW - enough said.

Well, given I've had a licence over 40 years, been a driver trainer for over 20 of those years and have never had any tickets or hit anyone I think I'm cool thanks.

Every single one should be crushed as well as the points and fine.

Perhaps parenting isn't for you then.

I've just hard boiled an egg. I'm about to use a Dremmel style multi tool to open it. I have a cunning plan :)

The issue here is many of these deaths are people riding like twats, two up, weaving about, modified bikes. I'll not mourn the death of these.

It would be interesting to see how may deaths were of those I'll refer to as 'decent' riders.

Expecting other people to look out for you so you don't have to is stupid. I'm saying if you want to do something bloody dangerous then go right ahead but don't blame others. You've hopefully enough sense to not walk in front of a train, approach a dog baring its teeth . . . add crossing the road.

This one was mint - just couldn't get a clean angle on it.

The one that got away . . .

I really liked this shunter. Conditions conspired against a competition or sellable image though. Strong shadow on the left and coloured tarpaulins each side.

I bring you Bob.

So now people do what you'd expect. They go to out of town retail centres where parking is free or of course shop on-line.

Can't remember the last time I went in. Parking too expensive and not easy to get to depending on your approach direction so I don't bother - and nor do many others.

And in my local city (Derby UK) they've banned cars from several of the city centre streets - now the shops and businesses are complaining about lack of customers. I've no sympathy - you wanted car free, you got it. Now you are customer free too.

Of course if the people thought to look before they stepped out . . . Everyone has a duty of care to themselves and others and if you want to trust your continued survival to the actions of others start writing a will.
