anyhoo, nowt much happening here now, waiting for the return of the prodigal one and then zzzzzz....citin way to spend a friday evening...should be off down Patpong or Soi Cowboy picking fights with the ladyboys

That's a shame, we could have all had a laugh at your expense.

I took 4 off and changed them.

Mind you i thought they needed renewing but my lad said there was another year in them.
The garage must have put them on when i bought the car.

Coming from someone who was raving about the merits of winter tyres.........doesn't really say much does it?

Indeed so.

Amazing how quickly people revert to type don't you think......despite their comments to the contrary!

The Range Rover Evoque is selling like hot cakes.

Strange that they are paying £100,000 in China for one, because of import duties, but we sell millions of foreign built cars here and don't put any import duty like that on them.

We are 1 loony country, no wonder we import so much, if there's no duty then the whole world can sell their goods but we can't because noone buys British goods.

Weren't you (just yesterday) saying how different (visually) winter tyres are?
Daft old goat!

I haven't seen the tyres off the car, just assumed they were normal tyres but the braking was fantastic, still never caught on.

Well you posted THIS yesterday........looks like the tyre on that is attached to a vehicle.

This is a Winter Tyre, the tread has to be able to let the water pass through pretty fast, unlike most ordinary tyres, and the deep wide gaps grip snow or mud

That gave the impression you can tell a winter tyre from any other old tyre.

I'll grant you that, I noticed i had one on the back of the car, the spare, but never dreamt the ones on the wheels were winter tyres.i had seen the side of them, but they are Michelin and just assumed they were ordinary tyres, it was only this afternoon when i was looking at one of the tyres in the shed when the tread pattern struck a note.

You know the saying, you see not what is there, but what you think should be there, it's a fact.

Well Mr Elf & Safety, it wouldn't be considered safe to put one winter tyre on the car & 3 ordinary tyres, would it? You could have been responsible for causing an accident.

I didn't know at the time, the spare had a cover over it on the back of the car.

One day i was getting a few stones out of the tyre after i had taken the cover off when i got suspicious that it was a winter tyre.

But as it was only a spare i wasn't really bothered
Don't think the M&S marking is on both sides of the tyre so it's not easy to see.

Just ordered my tea, it's Friday so it's a takeaway tonight.

Chicken Tikka starter, Lamb Madras, Mushroom Bhaji, Fried Rice, Mango Chutney & Lime Pickle.

Excuses, excuses........you should always check your spare tyre is road worthy. It's an offence to have a duff one in the car. You've been well & truly rumbled.

You were the one going on yesterday about the difference between winter tyres & ordinary ones.

You should run dskchk to see how your disk is.

Try installing Avast over itself.

Win7 isn't expensive as an upgrade, i put it on my O/H's laptop because it wouldn't update itself.

When you delete a program it never goes back in the same place because it doesn't really delete it, it just marks the files as such but leaves them there, thats why the police can retrieve deleted picture etc from your computer, unless you defrag or format they don't get touched.

Avast contains some thing called a Defence Module to prevent viruses from trying to delete it. You have to DL a tool from Avast and uninstall in Safe Mode.

done a check list and have been ok since.

oh of course I forgot about it not been totally deleted

A little bit more on the red-meat-is-bad-for-you study. I found it very worrying, given how much meat I eat; but I'm feeling reassured after looking into it a bit more.

For example, apparently half of American meat consumption is hamburger meat (I know, I can hardly believe that either). A lot of that would be eaten with fries, then, wouldn't it? Or white buns. Who can say what the latter contributed to the findings. (Hamburger meat, which usually contains dubious filler, was counted as non-processed meat in the survey!)

Also, not only did the amount of unhealthy behaviour (smoking, lack of exercise, etc.) correlate with the higher levels of meat consumption, but so did higher total intake of calories. So the people who eat the most meat also eat the most food: therefore who's to say that the increased early mortality of meat eaters did not have more to do with overeating (and maybe with being overweight) than with meat in particular?

Finally, it seems that some of the headlines, such as "Meat causes 1 in 10 deaths" are misleading or inaccurate, and that the implications of the study are far less drastic. A 20% increased risk of early mortality in processed-meat eaters, for example, is not a 20% risk of early mortality overall: it is a 20% increase of risk of early death from cardiovascular disease on top of the pre-existing risk. So, for example, if we all have, say, a 5% risk of dying from cardiovascular disease, our risk would go up to 6% if we eat lots of processed red meat--an increase of 1%. The increase would be even less for cancer, and still less for cardiovascular disease and cancer in those eating red meat but not processed meat. Not so frightening after all.

I don't know what the figures are for other diseases--they didn't figure in this survey. But if we knew them we could arguably deduct percentages from our overall (as opposed to meat-related) risk of early death, according to any positive dietary and lifestyle habits we have. Say the risk of dying early for smokers was 10%--non-smokers could offset most of that against any increased risk from meat eating. And so on with the other possible causes of early mortality. My guess is that in most of us the risks would even out, giving us good odds of normal longevity. Those most likely to die early would be people who manifest a whole cluster of higher-risk behaviours--not just meat eating but high alcohol and cigarette consumption, high junk-food consumption, lack of exercise, etc.

OK, time for my chop.
