As a near "normal", I couldn't tell you what sort of carriage we were stuck in for hours on end at various places in July 2015 - I know we only got about 20 minutes in Appleby in the end. Due to circumstances we haven't had the opportunity to have another day out with family since then, but if...

Er - where did I say it was the UK Border Force? It was in fact in Atlanta on Sept 12, 2013 - the officers there were getting slightly agitated about the issue due to the date being so close to the anniversary of the 11/9 bombings.

Trouble is, as I discovered 11 years ago is that if the IT goes down, then your passport is of no use at the Border and you won't be let in. They got the system running again after 45 minutes or so, but we nearly missed our connecting flight as a result. Thus I don't see what difference...

Another Red Bull lock out in qualifying for the Japanese Grand Prix with Lando leading the rest of the field. Extremely close at the back of the field with the bottom 4 being separated by less than three-hundreths of a second.

Thankfully our passports are all fully up-to-date and we're fortunately not flying from the world's worst airport for our Easter Break - should we go from the local airport (Heathrow) or pick one a bit further afield where the whole security process is likely to be a bit more family friendly?

I'm just surprised the kiddywinks have already broken up for Easter - obviously not being sent to a proper school seeing as the Easter holidays here in Berkshire start this coming Friday.

Why? It is sad, but her illness has no bearing on my day to day life, so if she wants it to be public knowledge or keep it private, then up to her. Should I post on here immediately or put out a press release on the BBC if I were to get such a diagnosis?

Back in 2015 when we moved, our local agent who sold our house was great. Going up the chain, the solicitors dealing with the sale of the house our vendors were purchasing were not responding to anything, but our agent got involved and got things moving. The solicitors acting for our vendor...

This morning, Alex Albon crashed his Williams beyond repair and so Logan Sargeant will not be taking any further part in the weekend, whilst Albon will!

Where did I compare to a theme park? On your last point, somewhere between the 2. I'd have much rather seen real world examples of the action, but with somebody who knows what they're talking about explaining what is going on.

Depends on the nature of your business and the update I guess. We're in the process of planning a relatively major software upgrade and our provider initially wanted to do it on a Friday. This was rejected as they mentioned that their upgrade support team don't work weekends and we can't...

You've completely missed the point! As far as I am concerned, a trip to a museum should be fun, interesting and educational for all. Therefore fine to have a few static, possibly rusting, exhibits with some techno babble signs that means nothing to anybody without a degree in 19th Century...

Don't think I'll bother visiting a museum full of rusty tin cans with just a board giving very dull technical info about it. Certainly not going to capture the imagination. What is wrong with some interactivity showing how things work and creating a relationship between what you're looking at...

They have "Newswatch" at some point around the weekend on the News Channel. Not sure if it makes it onto Breakfast on the main Channel or not, but that is quite similar to the old Points of View, but focused purely on the news coverage and frequently has criticism of their coverage of Royal...

Aren't Honda teaming up with Aston Martin from 2026?
