Shotgun!!
Well today I was going to give my take on eBay’s ridiculous new policy of banning sellers from leaving negative (or even neutral) feedback for buyers, but there simply aren’t enough hours in the day to write that article. Instead I just wanted to quickly show off the new French high speed train (the Automotrice à Grande Vitesse, or AGV) due to it’s sheer awesomeness. 200mph regular operating speed? Sign me up!!
Obviously, this couldn’t be launched in this country, there would be far too many health and safety officers to placate, and the general uproar from the mindless public complaining about environmental issues and other such bullshit. Sigh. Roll on the day when I can leave the country for good! If you want to learn more about the train itself, or at least the idea behind it, then I suggest this article (from 2000) that explains more about how the train works, and why it is a true successor to the current high speed generation of trains.
