Just got a glimpse at the high tech equipment used by the army to combat rogue drones.....Quite impressive I must say.

If you have seen the picture of the roof of Gatwick Police station, you can see one of these there

Really? Works very well doesn't it.

Reading the gumph on it makes it sounds a bit like the Snooper Radar and Lazer camera detector that I have the displeasure of owning.
The manufacturer say it detects 100 percent of traffic cameras, all the different types and all the bands they use, it does all the fixed cameras, Gatso and Truvelo plus the new Muti Directional Truvelo and the even newer the Yellow Vulture camera.

The problem is it detects the cameras on temporary traffic lights, the camera on the automated doors at service stations, shops, Boots the Chemists or any automated doors on industrial estates that you happen to pass, it even detects the doors on my local doctors surgery. in fact its a cacophony of alarms every few yards along the road because it even picks up the proximity cameras that fitted to modern cars to warn the driver that someone is in their blind spot.
You get so many warnings you either ignore it completely, shut it down, or silence it, [color=rgb(34, 34, 34)]In fact I think I might hit it with a hammer.[/color]
The equipment on the roof of Gatwick Police Station seems to be about as much use as the Snooper, seeing as the things were flying around the air port for a not insignificant time.

the latest statement from the police says that there may never have been a drone as all they have to work with are witness statements from the general public, police and airport workers.

Sounds like they dont believe themselves :pokefun

I see the news is saying that the couple that have been arrested have been released without charge.Looks like it was not them

And certain members of the media *cough* Piers Morgan *cough* are now desperately rowing back on comments they've made about these people being "morons" who caused so much disruption, having plastered their names and faces all over the place, presumably in the hope that they can somehow avoid a massive defamation lawsuit...

[/quote]I expect to see the couple now on a paid interview on Victoria Derbyshire --otherwize it would of been This Morning
[/quote]


Then onto Celebrity Big Brother, then I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here............then before you know it they'll be starring in a pantomime, before doing something silly and ending up in rehab with Katie Price, then singing a Christmas duet with her on release.  :groan

My mum bought this handy racking system, as i already have it and it works well for clothes, shoes, etc, so my mum decides to go out and buy the same.
Taken me a while to find the time to put it together for her, so i opened one of two kits she bought yesterday and i knew straight away the contents didn't look right from memory.
Then after realizing that some very clever camera trickery has been applied on the box, i felt positively mugged off.


The side panels (height) were just over 7 inches long each.
This would mean that the handle on that room door is approximately 15 inches high!!!


Now unless this house belongs to a very short troll with really big feet, this is a fabricated model home designed purely for the photo shoot only.
Then i realized that the angle of the racking, pulled out to the left to get closer to the camera, is so unnaturally out of place, rather than flat against the wall, that i know it is deliberate misrepresentation.


I then found in the corner of the packaging a very small diagram with measurements which confirmed everything.  :groan

Trucks with F------g great blue Logos in the cab behind the driver's back, you can see them a long way off on the motorways at night have have caused me to slow down several times before realising it not the old bill,.
I thought that for general traffic white lights only on the front with the exception of indicators and red lights only on the rear with the exception of indicators, number plate lights and reversing lights.
I have seen lorries with blue and green lights along the sides and on the rear corners, others with blue reflective strips across the back  WTF  :eek

Seen quite a few new cars with small orange side lights recently on the front. Really difficult to tell whether they are indicating.

Stupid stupid design and positioning of some cars indicators making them harder to see, one in particular I noticed is the Qashqai.Look at this

It appears almost all the boy racers around this way are removing the front number plate and laying it up on the dash inside the windscreen. It's the latest craze amongst them.


Surely that's illegal?. I'd love to see them getting done for it.

Another car with crap indicators is the 2017 VW beetle. The rear ones are tiny tiny about the size of a matchbox - side on.
