rack and pinion steering

The steering method for most, if not all cars. The steering wheel stretches out, and on the end is a cogwheel. This cogwheel connects to the rear of the two struts of the front axel. When the steering is turned left, the cogwheel pushes the rack on the rear axel right. This means that the end of the left front wheel towards the back is pulled inwards, while the front part is on the opposite side of a fulcrum, and is pushed outwards. The opposite happens to the front right, so the wheels turn left at the same time.
I doubt anyone will understand my definition of rack and pinion steering, so I'll make it quick


Rack- on the front axel
Pinion-On the end of the steering wheel.

Labour

A socialist political party currently in power in the United Kingdom. Known for quick-fix solutions and crap handling of the economy. Best prime minister so far was Clement Atlee who managed wo things in nearly six years- Beating Churchill out of government, and making the national health service.
The last Labour government under James Callaghan taxed @ 98% for any earnings over £100,000. A great way to get people to work for british business. Thankfully, it was reversed by good old Maggie Thacher

world's strongest man

Reknowned strongman competition started in 1977. It involves Several heats who get various points for thier placings in events such as the farmers walk. The weights used in such competitions vary, but 300lb is the lowest generally. Certain stationary endurance events will go over 1000lb.


When first started, the leaderboard was set ablaze by the United States, although this stranglehold (The first three years there were anomalous Europeans getting on the board) was quickly diminished, and Northern Europe has become the dominant power.

The greatest show of force however, is two Icelandians; Magnus Ver Magnusson and Jon Pall Sigmarson, who have each won it four times. There have been a few winners from the UK and central Europe, although Mariusz Pudzianowski (Representing Poland) has blown the competition away since his first entry, along with fellow eastern Europeans

double-cross commitee

In 1939, Germany sent many sabateurs to British shores, all of whom were well prepared for, and captured in hours. They were then presented with a simple choice; execution, or counter-espionage.


It didn't take long for them to choose counter-espionage. They were sent to the aptly named double-cross commitee, who used them to gain information on the whereabouts of troops, while giving them useless information that Germany would recieve some days too late.

This commitee was never discovered or sspected by the Nazi espionage units, and many double-agents were receiving medals for thier work right up until the end of the war, when it was discovered by the surrendered German forces that thier celebrated agents had been working for Churchill, not Adolf Hitler
The double-cross commitee was the most successful espionage and counter-espionage operation of the 20th century.
