I'm just a bit baffled by something far off the track enough to not get gas but somehow not have enough room for a large central tank. My in laws live in a scottish fishing village where they cant get a gas pipe to so they still use coal fires and electricity.

hookerbot 5000 posted:There's not really enough information in the article but if they divorced and she got landed with sole or mostly custody of their kid while he was free to go and do whatever he wanted then it seems fair (though maybe more of a child support issue than a divorce one?). Oh I'm not disputing that people should be responsible for their children. I just seems a bit unseemly that hes gone on to do something else 10-15 years later and now the courts have agreed a far higher payment than would have been awarded at the original time of divorce.

Cerv posted:by which he means had a substantial enough relationship to get married and have children with There are lots of people that married young and divorced very quickly in the late 80's and 90's. Some had children, some didn't. This does open the door for everyone to make a claim on their current earnings now.

Prince John posted:Clarkson is such a lovely human being, apparently he punched the producer because he didn't have dinner ready for him. "He just snapped!" Its a bit different to what you're saying though, its that no catering had been organised at all. Not that it was late. Still doesnt give him an excuse, but from the way the other two are acting i dont think its a big of a deal as the mirror is making out.

Well without clarkson there is no top gear, and they have no more job. Although the petition to get him back on tv has 300,000+ signatures in less than two days. Says it all about the general public.

If the BBC sack him, Clarkson and the other two will have networks falling over themselves to get him in.

Cerv posted:actually wonder how much of that is from DVD residuals and Dave re-runs that the BBC would continue to get after Clarkson's been exiled. Most of their money comes from the tours and top gear dvd's that clarkson/hammond poo poo out every christmas. The TV syndication is peanuts and every season gets a new rate, so the second you remove the 3 guys from it, no-one wants it anymore. A new show, aggressively marketed would destroy the numbers they do at the moment.

See every version of the show thats been attempted around the world and why they were all uniformly awful. Modern top gear is an accident that happened over 10-15 years of slight tweaks every season.

They can also provide directions and course mapping etc. One of the features i've seen is a ghost like in racing games that's your previous best for that course so you can see how far behind/ahead you are.
