Re: Interesting (non musical) YouTube videos.
Let me know when you find a human activity that can't be resolved down to "the sheer awful pointlessness and stupidity", its just doing pointless stuff with some degree of excess and a modicum of style. No different to any visual art, or music, still pointless.

Yep, hope it's as quick to recover as it was to happen.
Just thought. What security did you have on your phone?

Re: Zero emission road vehicles.
The road through Hebden Bridge has been 20mph for many years. The state of the tarmac is such that you would not want to drive any faster. Don't know if there is any connection between those two facts.
