You were probably thinking of Kelis.
At least she could bring the boys to the yard, rather than deliver to their front door.

Re: Bye Bye Sunak..

I'm not a natural Labour voter but objectively they are the right choice. I agree with Jobbo here As I've said previously, we need a majority Labour government and give them the full 5 year term. Personally, I won't accept any "It's not our fault, we inherited a basket case from the Tories&quo...

They're there for a reason. I wear it until the seatbelt sign is off and we're stationary on the ground.

Re: Your fleet running reports

My i3 is really sensitive to millisecond surge or power cuts and has occasionally stopped charging even though it's not affected anything else in the house other than the Virgin TV! Even the lights don't flicker but I know something has occured as the TV box has rebooted. Interesting. It charged wi...

Re: Your fleet running reports

Galaxy has a new water pump and a few bits of hose on the back of the engine. Hopefully that means we're done with coolant leaks. They had a good rummage underneath and while things are as you'd expect for 12 years/124k miles nothing is requiring replacement yet. It did just blow a brake bulb though...

Re: Running

A friend's 8yo (not very tall, very fast, runs the junior in about 9 mins) told his dad that if he didn't pick up his pace he didn't want to run with him anymore as he was too slow.

Re: Running

Nice. I've started doing our local one again with my 8 year old boy. I last did it when I was pushing his older sister around in a running buggy. Yup, the middle one and me are frequent users of our junior park run. Got a fair few kids from our school going, so it works socially too. My daughter di...

@Beany - that's why I'd like to find someone to do it properly. Honestly, the m3 one is just so supportive for my back, even on a bad day like today.
So the obvious answer is to get a full pro SIM racing setup and use it for work!

10k RPM is nothing. Imagine how high it could go with an electric engine, they spin much faster!

Quite. Given how competitively he used to run, I guess he's got the fitness level to do silly things like that.

That's shocking. How bad a fanboy do you have to be to put up with issues like that? They're not fanboys. They're members of a cult. True. Be interesting to see Venn diagram covering the Tesla cult and MAGAs. Feels like there should be quite a large commonality, but the latter seems to be in thrall...

Re: Addictive Word/Puzzle Games

My youngest alerted me to the fact that you can now play a daily game along the lines of “Just Connect”. Americanised, so at times it’s crap as it’s linked to Baseball team names or some crap, but otherwise pretty cool. Just hit PLAY - no need to make an account. https://www.nytimes.com/games/conne...
