I hope that pilot of that boat summoned his best Jim Carey impression and said "like a glove" immediately afterwards.

Ah, I think my Dad has that one! I persuaded him to bin the electric flymo and get a proper mower for his long garden that would be less hard to push. She looked amused and exasperated 😂 Huh? She's in a household with FOUR mowers, what has she got to feel exasperated about? She's living the dream!

Yup, cruise by itself is pretty useless unless on an empty road. Proper adaptive is where it's at. Mine seems to work pretty well too, I can't complain. And it'll close gaps and gather speed depending on what driving mode you're in too, so if you're set at 70 but stuck behind someone doing 50 then a...

However, the F1 is just too special to ignore. I'm just the F1 generation. Therefore, that is my choice.

I'd probably describe myself as socially liberal and fiscally conservative, with a very small c. Unfettered capitalism is bad, essential services should be in public ownership (rail, buses, water, etc etc) but I'd like to see more ambition from Starmer. He should talk about bring Thames Water back i...

Independence day joke?

Hey @IanF , help me understand. I understand that during turbulence the plane could fall and people would be weightless, but in so many of these stories you hear of people hitting the plane roof with force, as if the plane is being 'pulled' down faster than gravity. What gives?

Best outcome, nice one.

WTF have I just watched?

New favourite since my post above is Tesco 35 day dry aged Ribeye. Thicker than their normal cut and sooo juicy. Absolutely fab on the BBQ.

Fucking old people.

Not often, no.

Signed thousands of death warrants for political prisoners according to the BBC feed. Hopefully it was a particularly drawn out death. Yeah, if you are at all of a human nature I suggest you don't read about the mass executions he signed off on, including of children. Hope Raisi barbecued well afte...

With the MG it was because they couldn't fit the 4 valve head under the bonnet so it couldn't breathe very well .

The MAGA lot don't want electric cars, they want big v8 trucks etc.

So Musk is doing his best to piss off his core (liberal tech workers etc), whilst mainly appealing to the voter who wouldn't have an electric car if it was the last transport on earth.
