Whoa. Is that House of Liquids' TPD compliant design? 10 ML check, tamper proof check, plus child safe and shatterproof (that's a new one, and a good idea).

I'd be happy if Captain Slow (tm) turned up to work 5 mins earlier, and left 5 mins early.

Sadly, in the real world, they faff around doing whatever they do, and conspire to be tootling along at 40 in front of me.

Cue : the miracle of Middle Age!

I can drive behind some clueless bint (TM) at 40 for miles, tooting my vape (an ever present saviour) while they wind the way back. I'd rather she learned how to drive, but not going to grow an ulcer over it!

There's a girl at work (lovely lass, god bless her) who drives her farty Ford egg car at. No. More. Than. 40. all the way down the 7 mile road, even the national speed limit parts. Now, that's fine as far as it goes, but the temptation (which I've succumbed to) is to hammer down and overtake... but only if you know the road. Slow drivers on those roads should think ahead, if they don't speed up, someone not knowing the road, who's a bit thick and in a hurry (cue : BMW driver) will try to pull ahead on the bend... and end up a head on. Please guys, when there is a queue of people developing behind you, shouldn't you try to go a *wee* bit faster?

I fear that this sort of thing is going to be more prevalent, since with internet-enabled wristwatches (thanks Apple, short sighted pillocks) and other online devices (always-on alerts from your home in case the cat needs feeding?) interrupting the process of ... commandeering several tons of metal at speed in a built up area or one that is full of twists and turns, people with brains that shrink exponentially compared to the number of devices that inject information to their heads will cause the rest of us to collide with them and, of course, it'll be contested. "M'lud, the defendant was only checking Facebook while making up and looking at their Google Maps to make sure they were on the right road".

Driving down the work road would scare me shitless spaniel if my significant other/kids/pets were distracting me. I vape in the car (of course) and even then, there are stretches of the road which are No Toots while negotiating them and looking ahead for other traffic. These country roads are notorious for catching out people distracted or asleep at the wheel... when I was commuting up and down the M1 every day, it was a lot less demanding, unless some eejit was around who decided to tailgate you (yes those asshats still exist) or wanted to duck and weave in between all 3 lanes to get a few hundred yards ahead.

.09 ohms tooting!

(I shot for 0.1 gnomes and it came in low, thought the DNA40 would reject it but it's happy as larry )
