fuel consumption

Ask one of the lecturers if you can use his or hers and then run a few times to empty the tank.

First empty it in First Gear.

Then Second...

Then Third...

etc...

If you keep a check on how much it costs to fill up the tank, and the price of fuel then with little bit of math you can calculate it.

Go for an RPM check for the speeds you'd in theory expect for each gear, find out what the volume of fuel injected into the cylinders is at each shot and do some more maths.

Compare that theory with your findings and then see if theory fits to practise.

Best I can do at short notice and with minimal information, sorry.

The message from "Billy H" contains these words:

Briefs, Shirley?

*SUCCESS*

You can collect your PhD from

"The Mechanics Institute",

Woodhouse,

Leeds.

BTW. I jest, that's gone as well. :-(

I wonder, did it leave under an ASBO?

Who needs four years training in how to serve Pizza at table?

In my mind a vague connection between the two is forming. 8-)(

That is the problem.

In our heart of hearts we all know that.

DG

I'm thinking I'd need four years training before I could serve Pizza at table, or four years de-training.

Give me a good pub, I'll pull pints all day, but Pizza house? :( nah

uh? Pizza and training? lol

yeah, not right mate. Pizza cutting is easy, loving thy neighbour the Pizza cutter is not. .

I don't think so.

I did me woodwork lessons there Ca 1960. Two years to do a Mahogany table lamp.

It was a very famous building in it's time, ISTR Sir Humphrey Davey gave lectures/demonstrations there with his Safety Lamp.

Oddly, there seems to be no references to it nowadays.

Could it possibly be that a philistine City Council sold it off to be demolished for yuppy flats?

Why surely not.

DG

I'll drink to that.

Training for cellar Bar/Cellar management is essential to keep decent beer. But It doesn't take four years or warrant an Honours Degree

No !

Eating Pizza and Eating Nose Pickings.

:(

DG

Two years?? I haven't done much woodwork, I drilled out a bottle of Potuguese Rose wine (the Mateus type of bottle) and made a lamp. Nothing like Mahogany though.

I have some window frames to finish witrh the router. Life is so different now, I cut grooves for the glass with a ripping saw only a few weeks ago, life is much easier with tools and tables... I was doing it on my thighs and in the back lounge!!!

But table lamps? You must've known how to sharpen a chisel!

Wouldn't surprise me. Leeds and the surrounding areas have much history related to scientific discovery and progression in their old attics.

Sadly, now comes the ASBO.

And it is an ASBO.

The net is not the be all and end all, the library in the area may be someuse. I recall I read a book from the central library on the Headrow that told me about the monks and their rearing of sheep on the hills behind the Headrow.

It was quite an eyeopener to think about Leeds as a large grassy slope.

I never saw that on the web.

Never.

Lawyers love and respect physicians and mechanics and all they have ever done for our Great Country.

Could be done as part time work while studying for an honours degree. I could've done it, almost did.

Bitching youth, they're a pain in the infundibula.

If my Pizza came with nose pickings I'd rather know before I ate it. And then stick it up his nose.

:)

You can put it in the hands of your attorney, but it won't stand up in court.

And then I waggled me wig. I did, I waggled me wig...

I don't know, I've met at least one sexy barristers who can give a good arguement. And I'm not convinced it matters where she is...

Well, there's poetic justice in that.

However there are celebrated MPEGs on the web that indicate caution.

Safest always to cultivate a sympathetic attitude with your Pizza-ologist (or is it Pizza logistician)

Seriously many of the students on the Pizza-Ology course come from overseas because they can get much better wages back home if they have a certificate (Any Certificate) from a British "University" (Any "University", any course).

Basically they are here to get a certificate and prove (and improve) their English Language.

Whilst not knocking that, our educational institutions should have higher ideals/priorities which are related to preparing our own young adults for a productive adult life. JMHO

DG

Is that what you call it ?

DG

Even with Sir Humphrey walking away?

And not charging them 25000 for an education their peers are going to f up for them.

It's true, I had a conversation with an ex employee from Cunards, I argued it was religion (and my concept of religion is very broad and encompasses more than church or bible etc) that led to the decline of the shipping industry here. He told me no, it is the lack of workshop engineers. But I aint going into the workshop (it is a very mental place) easily, because of religion so I reckon it is religion. If the reason we lost shipping was because we lost our shops, and the reason we lost our shops was caused by religion (and its associate politics) then it is the fault of religion (but mainly politics and law - they are religion anyhow, aren't they?).

There is nothing better than an attentive arguement which gets into every nook and cranny and flexes every nerve and sinew of the bit under consideration.

Religion and Region only have two letters in them.

Those overseas students typically subsidise the rest of the institution, and hence our own young adults.

cheers, clive

I think 'proper arguement' puts it more succinctly and leaves it less open to criticism.

There's nothing better than a proper arguement.
