Re: Engineering and Technology Thread

Yes, very impressive, but I wonder about the reliability/cost of the tracks i.e. is all of the technology in the train, or does it require special tracks? If the tracks aren't special, and there's no contact with them, why use tracks at all? The + and - magnetic connection has to come from somewher...

I would think if Verstappen's father is offered the post, it's a way to lock young Verstappen into the team for years to come.

Re: Superbru/HHF - Premier League Prediction 2025-26

Oops, sorry Pete, I had no idea that was a consequence of 'pre-registering'. I was just mooching around on there and checked the league, and it said not yet registered, but that I could pre-register, so I did. I had no idea that resulted in a reminder being sent. Not a problem and appreciated as I ...

Re: Forum problem?

Yes, it appears to be BOTS flooding the server(s) causing the problem. Refresh the page or use "F5" if on a PC and that may help.

Personally I've had the problem a dozen times today and refresh has worked.

Re: VPN Recommendations and Discussion

You're not going to like it when you see the renewal price for NORD on a 2 year plan. I'm back with Express again for the next 2 years + free months, and they too have a crazy renewal fee after that. I think the key is to switch back and forth every 2 years to get the best deals. That is if you want...

Re: 2025 F1 News and Prediction League

It was also announced that 500,000 + people were present on the grounds for one reason or another over the practice/qualifying and race period. Where else gets that kind of interest and attendance? Jets performing, soldiers parading, the works.

Re: Why Do Expats Remain - Why Do They Come Back?

^No apologies needed, quite frankly I'm sat in a Luxembourg pub on my day off but I'm back on Hua Hin next week and looking forward to it! And maybe cooling down a bit in Thailand because it's been disgustingly hot here lately, 39C today! Yes, temperatures have been turned on their head. Amazing to...
