Probably the guilt they've been carrying for killing most of the
indigenous population.

Very funny. I was referring to the speed and terrorizing of pedestrians.

My highest ever speed is 140mph.

Or 700 if you count planes.

55 on a boat.

Most do not feel guilty about that. Some do.

A great song - with great Lyrics.

Lyrics
She came from Providence, the one in Rhode Island
Where the old world shadows hang heavy in the air
She packed her hopes and dreams like a refugee
Just as her father came across the sea
She heard about a place people were smilin'
They spoke about the red man's way, how they loved the land
And they came from everywhere to the Great Divide
Seeking a place to stand or a place to hide
Down in the crowded bars out for a good time,
Can't wait to tell you all what it's like up there
And they called it paradise, I don't know why
Somebody laid the mountains low while the town got high
Then the chilly winds blew down across the desert
Through the canyons of the coast to the Malibu
Where the pretty people play hungry for power
To light their neon way and give them things to do
Some rich man came and raped the land, nobody caught 'em
Put up a bunch of ugly boxes and, Jesus, people bought 'em
And they called it paradise, the place to be,
They watched the hazy sun sinking in the sea
You can leave it all behind and sail to Lahaina
Just like the missionaries did so many years ago
They even brought a neon sign 'Jesus is Coming'
Brought the white man's burden down, brought the white man's reign
Who will provide the grand design, what is yours and what is mine?
'Cause there is no more new frontier, we have got to make it here
We satisfy our endless needs and justify our bloody deeds
In the name of destiny and in the name of God
And you can see them there on Sunday morning
Stand up and sing about what it's like up there
They called it paradise, I don't know why
You call some place paradise, kiss it goodbye

Those videos were not 140. That occurred in France. The Gendarme lost me.

Just threaten to leave. Quote Greenflag price. Greenflag sux, but the AA will still discount you to keep you. You have to do this every year though, they sneak it back up. They count on most people not bothering.

And car insurance is no longer allowed to do introductory first year prices but they still fuck you about and will take money off if they think you're leaving.

No, if you loaned me a car, that would be your car. If you rented me a car, you have paid for a rental car from a company with your money, but for me. Big difference.

As for rent and hire, they mean precisely the same. You would say you hire a car but you rent a house?! I just rent both.

I understand completely. My wife carries out this exercise each year
with the RAC. Well worthwhile!

My renewal this year was £30 less than last year, so I didn't bother
shopping around!

I suspect we didn't challenge last October - probably more concerned

Holy shit that's expensive, but then I don't get top of the range. Just basic fix it or take me to a garage. My neighbour does the same. We've both towed each other a quarter mile from home because we didn't have home start.

I may have done such a thing when I was a youngster, but I can now
afford to pay for the convenience. What you do costs a lot in terms of
time, too.

Hello again, Peter.

My sister is asking if you have have made any progress on the Lands End
photograph. Has it proved to be more difficult than expected?

Thanks.

Yes somewhat. The photo is against the light. (the server has been
down here).
This is the best I could do for now, though your sending a larger file
might help a little.) The yellow cast has gone, I've lightened the
faces a little, sharpening the image reveals spots and scratches, and
I've increased the vibrance a little. Importantly I've added the
annotation that is very important for future viewers.
If you can get PShop or similar then all the above is possible.
Quality scanning means a lot too. If you have many many
photos/slides then some commercial scanning service might be the way
to go after which you can adjust and annotate at leisure. Do this
while the subjects are still alive. And before the photos deteriorate
further.
