A new concept is aiming to make it easier for motorists to know when it’s time to buy new tyres.

Yanko Design has unveiled the “Discolour Tyre” which will change colour when the tread reaches an unsafe level.

PG: I could understand your being opposed to the MOM partial sell-down of state assets, but you adduce no evidence or argument for your views – just name-calling (“half arsed policy”) and the usual “political” stuff about the Government not selling the policy well.

How about debating the policy itself for a change, rather than whether or not it is popular or will pass through the Legislature? In my view there’s more to running the country effectively – and in a prudent way when it comes to managing the economy in a difficult international environment – than waltzing around the fringes of political expediency. I’m more into principles myself.

Lots of people reckon that religion is superstitious bullshit Fletch…. and if it is… that makes everything you type a waste of space.

It’s funny how religious sheep have to start off with a specific fixed conclusion and then try to make everything else fit in around it.

That is just pathetic childish reasoning…. save it for your fucking fairytale book reading evenings pal. Two things wrong with religious sheep…. they believe fairytales and then try to convert people into fairytale believing morons like they are. They’re like a fucking disease that keeps trying to spread from host to host.

Yeah.. it’s a lifestyle choice. Like believing made-up fairytales?

LR&C, except that Western culture and ethics were pretty much built on that “fairy-tale” book as you put it. And the result? The best and most compassionate culture there ever was. Try building that same culture off the Koran or Mao’s Little Red Book or Lenins’ The Communist Manifesto and, well, the results speak for themselves.

You may argue with me, but history proves you wrong.

I know people who are not Catholic who still send their children to Catholic school; in fact, there was an article in The Listener or North and South (I can’t remember which now), reporting on the upswing of non-religious parents lining up to get their children in to religious schools. Perhaps it’s because even though they do not totally agree with the Bible, they understand that their children are being taught good ethics and morals that the Bible and Jesus teach.
