What bemused you today?

[Reinardina]

Could well be. It's nice to know it is 26C somewhere, wherever that somewhere is.

It's your local weather as it's linked to your post code, which you supplied when you signed up to your ISP. 

Interesting. For today ("Columbus Day"), it says 9 C, which is probably right for this moment, as it is still early, but for tomorrow and the rest of the week it is 28/26, which I cannot believe.

Well, last week I was on a hill when it started to hail (And thunder and lightening) so was around freezing - and the next day was in the 20's - to be fair one was at 8300ft and the other by the sea

Received an email this morning, which started: Google morning Reinardina.

Have the tech giants really taken over the world? In 'my' time, we had 'Jingle Jangle' mornings, which I much enjoyed.

[SimonW]

That was perhaps useful advice. I tried to Google "morning" and found some quite interesting suggestions.

[Reinardina]

I never saw it as a request or command! Tried it though, and was not all that impressed with the 'mornings' I found.

How is Nescafe Original still called Nescafe Original when they've changed it?

Daughter is in Germany at the moment, holidaying with her pen-friend. She 'phoned last evening and reported that she had just been down the motorway at 180kph. Mrs H asked her if she was frightened. Oh no, she replied, it was fun! Like father, like daughter

180kph is not that fast for Germany. I remember sitting at 110mph (So about the same speed) and was getting past by all sorts of cars - including a VW Polo

Text outside Baptist church in Flintshire:

Honk if you love Jesus: text while driving if you want to meet him.

The Rev Bob Marshall, is facing council action, as it is considered advertising.

While I see the     twist play in words; Rev Marshall appears to be making an assumption that all those reading his notice will be thinking in exactly the same way as he is (which is not necessarily the case).  Encouraging text messaging while one is driving is full stop!

How can that be considered advertising? I bet it's a labour council.

Most churches have boards outside advertising then. Seems a bit extreme in my view (As an atheist)

People moaning about Lewis Hamilton driving "slowly" to get cars behind in the mix with Nico Rosberg with the hope that they overtake. And then Nico moaning that he could go faster - well, there is one easy way of doing that, and that is to pass Lewis - I never saw him even attempt it.
And then the team ordering Lewis to speed up - bad form.

[Paul Montgomery]

I thought his response was good (paraphrasing) "I'm leading the race, I don't need to go any faster"...

[anglefire]

And all the "Experts" back at base thought Vettel could catch them and pass Nico (which was Lewis's plan of course!) and Lewis himself and hence not get a Win for them - which would never have happened he had so much pace in reserve.
