I've been a fan of The Onion for a very long time. Quality work.

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!

Yeah it did seem a decent atmosphere. 600 people! 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.

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

That would be a great concept - "Let's give Steve a box of wine, load up eBay and an PayPal account with £5k in it. Come back tomorrow morning to find out what he's bought" :lol: HOLD MY BEER https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/394077209447 And the W8 is one I need to cross off my list… Get it bou...

This popped up on my YouTube feed.


New world marathon record for running in Crocs. Running 26.2 miles in less than three hours in Crocs. Because he could.

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...

Have added it to my daily "round". Not as fiendish as the TV version, but worth a minute or two. Ironically, I keep forgetting about it. :oops: Today's is a good example of when americanisms (or an american lens) thwart your efforts. I wasn't aware of most of their "classic party gam...

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...

Was it on the old Top Gear where they had a M3 going round a track and an “economic” car with a small engine which then consumed more fuel. I really can’t remember, was donkeys years ago. It was a Prius I think. The point was right tool for the job. The M3 (or whatever the performance car was) was ...

@ZedLeg it starts out quite hoppy on the palate with some bitterness. That quickly fades, leaving not much flavour behind. It isn't unpleasant, but too bland for my liking. Won't buy again. Almost feel like a low fizz sparkling water with a faint beer flavour. Ah that’s disappointing. As we'd bough...

It rather was.

It is a Mikkeller "non alc wheat ale".

It's pretty stupid to build your economy on offshoring almost all manufacturing to china then complain that it's hurting your economy tbh. Yeah, so best give up then. Dave! I'm not sure that's what he's saying. Interestingly when it comes to military stuff they're quite happy propping up companies ...

The Lucky Saints are decent. Have a Mikeller to try tonight, will report back.

As you wish.
