Right. So according to that site, it IS an accident (as I have been saying), unless nobody gets hurt, when it is a "near miss" under the heading of "incident". Thank you for confirming what I have been saying.

So HSE don't know the meaning of the word either. That is not what the word "Accident" means. There is no reason to not prefer to use the word incident, that is just as correct, but it is simply incorrect to say that it is "NOT an accident". Accident certainly includes things that happen by...

I hate people saying "it is NOT an accident". All that shows is your ignorance of the meaning of the word. "Accident" does NOT mean "unpreventable mishap". It means any unintended consequence (usually negative, but not necessarily).

That was pretty well my thought too. And he says he has Apple and Maple as well!

The single dose is apparently sufficient to prevent you getting it badly enough to require hospitalisation.

Neither part of that is close to being true. If we continue to use fossil fuels to generate power at the rate that has been done previously, then extinction is a certainty, not a possibility. And there is no real possibility of nuclear power causing an extinction event.

I've got one of those that I bought new about 15 years ago for £400 IIRC. I use it pretty often, good piece of kit. I didn't get the Triton circular saw, just use one I had, and a B&D router with the router sled. That looks good value at £200, with more extras than I bought.

So you are saying that he, as somebody who actually used the equipment, was duped into believing it worked, because you, as somebody who knows nothing about it beyond what he has read on the internet don't think it worked. Why doesn't that surprise me?

The law does take account of that. What the actual legislation says is (my bold): " In this regulation, any reference to receiving a television programme service includes a reference to receiving by any means any programme included in that service, where that programme is received at the same...

And very not true. You need a licence if you want to watch anything broadcast over the air or streamed at the same time as it is broadcast. Or if you want to watch anything on iPlayer (the BBC's own streaming service). But you can watch anything else streaming, whether live or not, without any...

You mean training staff to break the law? While individuals are perfectly allowed to lift what they like, employers are not allowed to require employees to lift more than 25Kg per person. I'm not sure they are even allowed to let them do so.

You can claim tax relief on the flat rate of £6 per week. Which for a standard rate taxpayer (20%) means £1.20 a week actual savings to you - which is where he gets the £60 per year from.

I have an earlier version of the smaller Rutlands kit, and have been totally happy with it. AIUI, the jaws for Nova and RP chucks are also compatible with the Rutlands ones, but I haven't tried any yet, as the initial kit had everything I have wanted except maybe a bigger set of cole jaws.

Not really. There are only two main players - Android and iOS (the third - Fire OS - is a subset of one of those). They don't need to keep it up to date with devices, just with the OS, and those don't change all that often, only a few times a year.

I've been getting back into cycling since lockdown - but as I have been working full time from home, that normally means half an hour to an hour after work, so around 8-16 miles, 3-4 times per week. In the summer, I was usually averaging around 15.5-16mph, now it is a little under 15 - today's...
