    Volcano Alert

    Well this makes a nice change, for the last two weeks, its been earthquakes, 5.6 - 5.9, now we have an erupting volcano.

    What tyres are best on lava flows

    (170 km away, so all good so far, but dawns and sunsets should be good)
    By all means get a Defender. If you get a good one, you'll be happy. If you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher.

    I don't know which tyres are best for lava but, whatever you do fit I would suggest that you get them inflated with nitrogen (summat to do with being able to cope with the heat better).

    Or, since good old plain air is 80% nitrogen, just inflate your tyres as normal but let 20% of the air out afterwards. The 80% left in the tyre should theoretically be just pure nitrogen. I think that's how science works.

    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking
