Lucas, the inventor of the three way switch."It leaks oil and has crappy electrics."
The electric systems in British vehicles came from Lucas - The man who invented darkness and silence.
On-Off-Intermittent
My friends from the UK used to say "Lucas, Prince of Darkness"
Another saying was "Why do the British drink warm beer?; Because Lucas Engineering designed their refrigerators."
Truth be told the beer is cellar temperature which is maybe warm by North American Standards but I like it fine.

The little fella to whom I dedicated this thread, left us a year ago today on July 28, 2023. You can bet we did our best to keep our heads high and celebrate how much he offered through the years but as we near bedtime, I can't help but take a little time for myself. Perhaps this doesn't lighten the thread but it does help me to talk about it. I know everyone has/had the world's greatest dog but tonight please allow me.
Thank you for reading,
I hope everyone had a great weekend. The weather was perfect for one of little Bingo's favourite parks and we stopped at all his favourite spots for reflection time.
That was easy as there's a lake in that park. 😉

We bought a box of Steam-punk beer in a Lidl shop on our way. It tasted OK (summer ale, IPA and German Red).
Today we are out hunting for the BEST beer in the world - trappist beer from the abbey In Der Vreden n Belgium.

Abbey beer with herbs is good indeed, and most of them available at every supermarket. I like Hoegarden, a tasty white beer.
That said, I call Belgian beer "baby beer" because it comes in 0.25 liter or at most 0.33 liter bottles, not in 0.5 liter or one pint bottles, as we like it.

E=mc2 ± 3 dB Here Einstein’s consequential and far-reaching equation, the most famous in all of physics, is modified by a tolerance that has its origins in what someone thought would be subjectively acceptable in systems for reproducing music. I saw this first many years ago, was amused by the juxtaposition, and never forgot it.
I was watching a few YouTube videos today, I ended up watching one with a high end turntable playing a tune, I noticed at least two of the comments saying how good it sounded.
What you're seeing there is an Australian Tawny Frogmouth.
Pics in #3178 show us that there is no orange spot adjacent to the branch on the left. There must be something there so so I think Allen is showing us something we can believe
What a great shot.
