Ah yes the three genders

A friend is looking for a Canadian supplier of metric-sized stock aluminium, to deliver to Ontario.

Do any of you wonderful people have any experience of this please?

Normal 6061 stock: bar, tube, angle, T, channel etc.

Everywhere seems to be imperial, and transatlantic shipping would be silly!

So it appears you now need a Wanking License in the UK.

When I got my driving test I passed with 7 minors, which is absolutely a performance I don’t intend to repeat.

We’re back with another set of Reverse Trivia episodes! In this, the first of four, I make what is possibly the most niche joke I’ve ever done!

If you’ve not watched before, it’s a comedy panel show quiz thing that really doesn’t take itself seriously!

Huh, YouTube’s new auto dubbing feature has been enabled on my channel.

My video’s now got audio channels with the speech machine-dubbed into other languages. They’re not marked as machine translated though

Here are some examples:

I like my showers like I like my sunsets

While most will cheer, clap, & relax when the launch is over, the Satellite Operations Team are only getting started.

During this Launch & Early Orbit Phase, they gradually test and switch on the various parts of the satellite, unfold its solar panels & antennae, and steer it into its final orbit.

You can watch the launch live on Tuesday 29th April at 0915 UTC (1015 BST, 1115 CEST)

And Matt Gray is Trying: Spaceflight Operations should come out at some point next month!

On Tuesday the European Space Agency plan to launch BIOMASS, their new Earth Explorer satellite!

ESA invited me to film the next Matt Gray is Trying with the BIOMASS Spaceflight Operations team as they practiced for the big day a few weeks ago!

Designed to get crucial info about our forests, it's the first P-Band RADAR in space.

Internet hive mind:
Will I fit in a Suzuki Twin?
I’m 6’4” (193cm) and my head often touches the ceiling in cars.

Please only reply if you have personal experience.

Bob Mortimer for Pope

If Dick Van Dyke was to end the year revealing a new-found love for both men and women, you could call the documentary The Bicentennial Man.

Finder's channeling the old Windows file copy estimation.
