Dave!

I actually went to two of the schools/colleges Bellamy was educated in. I'd forgotten he'd passed already.

If you look at the facts, including those I've stated, they haven't designed a whole new car for 10 years, they've binned off half their model range, the Cybertruck is a complete flop that needed SpaceX to buy a few of just to get them off the forecourt, FSD is years behind schedule and Robotaxi ...

Tesla is cooked, because they've gone from predicting thousands of robotaxis by the first half of 2025, to just a few dozen in tests now.

Really good idea. Even if you don't want to be on camera, and just do a voiceover, would be interesting to see the things you get done.

Yeah I saw noise around raising our legendarily high PA and to pay for it with a 50% tax rate. So the lower paid can pay even less tax and the better paid can enjoy marginal rates of higher than 50% (including NI etc).

So much correctness in here.

Send in HMS Conqueror and finish the job.

Every time we play a big game and take the lead, it's always the same. Stop playing, invite pressure. I know it's not easy, but we just seem mentally weak.



Completely agree. It's always the same. 'Oh we're ahead, we can take the foot off the gas now'

Best form of defence is attack. Should've ...

They think it's all over.

Even my Brazilian wife is swearing at the telly.

Dirty fucking players so far. Foul after foul.
