If you split the engine up into its separate metals (separate the steel, cast iron and aluminium) and cash the metal in at the scrap yard you will get a better price. Cast ally from gearbox housings and cylinder heads is worth quite a bit. When the scrap yards have to separate it, its not worth as much. Brake discs are worth a few bob as they are a good source of ductile iron.

Best way to check is to have a look at the sun now through your welding mask and, if you go blind, it doesn't work.

Thats a good idea, if i wait till the day then i won't know if i've gone blind or if the eclipse is lasting longer than expected ;)

Do a comparison first, look directly at the sun around midday, I'd say for around 5 minutes, then look at it through a welding mask. You're guaranteed not to see the sun! <before I get reemed, this is a joke and on one should look directly at the sun in any way, shape, or form without the correct equipment>

more like a few bits of data from some software that chucks out tonnes of data of which a large percentage is completely useless. Basically the pictures that I have saved look crap :(

I use Camtasia now to put together a lot of presentation videos. Just a screen capture and editing facility. It's dead easy to use. I know they offer a 30 day completely free trial which is really handy.

never heard of it. I'll check it out. Not sure it'll help in this case as this data is for a report :P

Oh. Did it look just as spectacular though?

It looked amazing. On the TV it looks a bit too perfect, almost like a staged show, looks more natural in person. It gets brighter and darker, forms shapes that then disperse, and just drifts slowly across the sky. The glow follows the curve of the earth so you get a big arch across the horizon with a dark bit underneath.

Yup, Matt lucas' new comedy thing. It has some funny moments but is very unusual to say the least
