Scottish Drink Drive Limit To Be Lowered

The Scottish Government has announced that it is going to lower the Scottish drink-drive limit from 80mg of alcohol per 100ml of blood to 50mg by the end of 2012.

The general manager of a road safety charity has reportedly said that a 50mg limit still leaves the public unsure about what level is safe.


NO LEVEL OF ALCOHOL IN THE BLOOD IS SAFE - there, is that clear enough for you?

It's very simple and I still don't understand why people just don't get it, if you've had a drink, don't drive.

Raspberry Pi Latest Update - Pt 4

The 4th Raspberry Pi landed in my inbox today and surprise, surprise! Still no nearer to getting my hands on one!

4,000 other people ahead of me in the queue have actually had the opportunity to get their hands on one though and another batch of the boards are on their way.

The email was full of links to websites where people who have managed to get their hands on one but to me that's just a smack in the face to those of us who don't have one yet.

To be honest I'm starting to get fed up of all these emails telling me that other people can buy one but not me and I'm starting to loose interest and I think a lot of other people will be feeling the same way.  The novelty of owning such a computer is now wearing off so unless they get their act together soon they could end up with lots of stock on their hands with no one willing to buy any.

Raspberry Pi Latest Update - Pt 3

I'm now on my third Raspberry Pi update from RS Components but still no nearer to getting my hands on one.

CE testing and certification is now complete and they have received 2,000 of the devices and those at the front of the queue have already been invited to go to their dedicated shop to make their purchase.

Now the testing has been completed and was successful, they have vamped up production so (hopefully) I'll be able to get my hands on one soon!
