yeah, i do a fair amount of contract negotiation and it outs itself pretty quickly when you ask why they’ve proposed/rejected an amendment and they don’t actually understand why.

The only issue comes when it’s our own Project Directors who used it an proudly come over saying they’ve “helped” me by ...

The slimy frog was on LBC this morning with the usual “the reform party have done nothing wrong” lines and trying to play it off as “contractors”. I wonder how this will play out as this time it was him on camera confirming it all.

All so casual, i thought the American was being a little obvious at one point, but they’re all so relaxed about breaking the rules it doesn’t even register to Farage.

Grubby.

As long as it’s not during the emissions test….

That area is pretty civilized for a 1 night stop on the way to italy - we did Reims once and it was way too early and we’d wished we’d knocked another few hours of driving off before the next day. Somewhere between Verdun and Strasbourg is about right.

We thought about Strasbourg on the way back ...

Sirmione……


Stayed there for a few days last year, lovely place.

Getting on the Eurotunnel tomorrow morning at 7:30 to start a 2 week euro trip, stopping at verdun on the way down tomorrow before an overnight stop in Nancy followed by 3 nights in the alps and then 5 nights on lake como ...

Cool post, we’ve been doing European road trips as family holidays for the last few years too. we were in Belgium last easter and I saw that zoo but we’d already been to an amazing one in Loire valley so didn’t think it would match it - it looks incredible!


Was that the zoo at Doue La ...

Rumours in The Sun that it's being rebooted with Jimmy Carr. Missed a trick by not making a series called 'Jimmy Carr's Cars' if they do that.

I found an interview where he says his cars are an investment; no sign of him being a real car person. Also he'll be utterly wrong doing TG; he's either ...

Hill climbs scare me! everything is so close!

My name is Chris and I have a problem.

I keep looking at this as a fun track car with BBR220 upgrade and different to anything else we have summer convertible, even though it is too good to be a track ...

Theyre clearly a lap ahead…

You've never been to Limerick, have you...

Exactly!

my mate went to school with him, strangely everyone i’ve met from Limerick is interesting/funny/talented (though i’ve only met people who’ve left limerick!)
