BBC Breakfast this morning - apparently a survey says use of hands free mobile (legal) is declining while use of hands-on phones is increasing!!!

Where's the logic? What're we like? Read more

People talk about mobiles being distracting - I just find they send me to sleep

Whenever I'm going for a drive I switch on my mobile, put on my favourite cd - "50 greatest lullabys"
Put my slippered feet up on the dashboard...... lovely ...zzzzzzzzz

I note that the forthcoming rally has 230 miles of competitive driving over 17 stages and lasts for three days. In 1985 it had 570 miles and 63 stages over four days. Group B cars were running, it was a true test of the drivers and cars and was a superb event to follow. It seems to me the present WRC is pretty tame in comparison. Are there any forms of motosport that haven't become softer, slower, easier and more boring to watch?

My sons trekked north from Somerset for the Roger Albert Clark rally and said it was worth every mile - 'just like the RAC in the old days'...

Known as "recruiting in ones own image" IIRC. (and strictly verboten!)

However if you are recruitng team players (to fit into an existing org) you can understand why it it happens!
