i agree - this one looks particularly ungainly to me.

@GG. Are you moved in? Congratulations on your new home :D


Thanks, Simon! Yes we are in (kind of - stuff still being unloaded as I write). Couple of quick iPhone pics from last night.

Was that the sleeveless top photo?

There’s something utterly soulless about these new EVs, they just whack whatever wacky body styling on top of the same skateboard to try and give it some personality, but it just looks like it’s trying too hard. Especially as it’s not doing anything actually clever - why does it still need a ICE ...

i’m warming to it… maybe on the elise - i have some brand new Toyos to go in it sat in my garage…

yeah, we drove it from Vegas to the grand Canyon - the big sky walk thing on the Westrim… which was fine until the paved road finished and we had to do about 15 miles of off-road.

It was funny seeing everyone else in big 4x4s and us bouncing along with fuck all ground clearance trying to avoid the ...

Was the same even when we were a net exporter up to the mid 2000’s.
What other factors do you think mean the war will affect us most?


I'm just setting out my case for maybe why we should riot and that it started long long before Trump had anything to do with it.
Go for it - so it’s ...

Yep, we should be shouting at Starmer to stop attacking Iran… oh.

Their gas prices have sharply increased directly because their current elected leader ...

After building the house I'm in now, I'm not keen to build another one either :lol:


Yeah, some places wouldn't quote us for various things at one point a few years back, because prices were so volatile.
