BBC says
"Breaking Man shot after attacking Brussels troops"
I go to Twitter and quickly finds earlier tweets from the Belgium state broadcaster
"#BREAKING Soldiers shot a man who attacked them with machete in Brussels
The attacker is Somali by origin, shouted Allah Akbar before he attacking soldiers in #Brussels: RTBF"
"TERROR IN BELGIUM: 30-year-old Somali Muslim terrorist shot and eliminated after attacking soldiers while shouting allahu akbar in Brussels. "
Again BBC is first
first to omit any mention of Islam/migrant

tongue ever so slightly in cheek there -
I've seen electric turbos (eye-roll +shake head) - and people re-tasking leaf blowers to try and get it to work - the rule of thumb I found for superchargers was 0.004 hp/cfm*psi boost - which means that drive power required is in the tens of hp for even a small engine and essentially way beyond the capacity of any normal car electrical system....

Pcar - electric turbos? .... - generator manufacturers (pretty conservative folk) are now offering the option .... to generate leccy from the exhaust stream using excess temperature that isn't required to compress air into the intake.......
Other way round: snake-oil dealers selling "...instant power boost electric turbo for your car..." they are generally fans not compressors.

Oh! and another thing the local weather and the National weather often give markedly different forecast, usually the local one is rushed and rubbish.

Stewgreen, One thing that infuriates me about the BBC News coverage is that the Local News Programmes often cover the same content as the main news programme; If seems they never talk to each other of co-ordinate their content.

BBC consistently demonstrates lack of self awareness
cos of the way
#1 same topic is covered when it was already covered on another prog
#2 There are repetitive trailers if BBC staff listened they' know not to repeat the same trailer again and again

\\UK 'can halve oil imports by banning new petrol and diesel cars in 2030//

Many other countries have national broadcasters. I wonder if they have similar hate campaigns against them and negative comments by those who don't watch/view them?
In the Anglohone world there's many folk that aren't happy as I understand it with the editorial stance of Australian and Canadian state broadcasters - it's not that they want to shut them up / down - it's the egregious bias of the present incumbents that grates....
btw I see some Android Google apps that I've never used or configured have in the last 3 months or so started sending me notifications about "news" - the BBC figures prominently....

3.06. Do you really watch the same BBC that I do?
Probably not, you must be one of those that bitch without watching or listening.
But no, from your reports here you watch or listen incessantly. Glutton for punishment?

My main problem with greens is the way they call for big fad things instead of things that are truly green.
Like our small village is going to end up with 6 carparks when every house is in easy walking distance of the centre.
A new COOP shop is required to have one for planning permission
Hang on there are only 3,500 people in the village, and if you live more than 0.8 mile from the centre then you are actually closer to another village/town.
Yet There are these car parks
#1 school only used by teachers during school hours
next door #2 football field next to school - used some Saturdays/Sundays
200m away #3 at the village hall : used a few evenings/week
100m further away #4 at the pub basically used most evenings
++ next door the village shop has road parking for 15 cars
So the COOP would count as the 5th or 6th car park
That's utterly bonkers to have all that tarmac of which each space is used about 3 hours/day
For a start the new COOP would kill the village shop , cos it's useless, so they should knock it down and redesign the plot so it shares the pub's carpark.
I don' know the sports ground and school both have carparks when their use rarely overlaps
