For what they do I think professional movers are incredibly good value. What is the alternative - hiring a van? How many trips would you need and how much time to shift the entire contents of a house?


I did that last time, because at the time I couldn't afford more than van hire - for two days ...

They'll work out the charges later, at the moment.

Insurrection act means they don't really even have to bother.

...and the reason they're not rioting in the streets is because that would cause the (literal) fascists in charge (not Trump - he's just a puppet) to use the insurrection act to cancel elections.

You'll notice there have been a few warehouses burning down lately though.....people are losing patience.

It also looks lethal, I don’t know how much of the MX5 chassis remains underneath but the roll over bar on that doesn’t look very sturdy and then you’ve replaced the monocoque with fibreglass, binned all the side impact protection and whatever else.


I mean, if you're looking at cars like this I ...

Yeah, I don't disagree about the looks. They really are hard to get past.

Well, you can get a written off MX-5 (as long as you can verify the important bits work - engine, gearbox, diff etc) and then rip the guts out of it to put in their chassis, IIRC.

Manual here.

Being pug-ugly is a bit of a shame given it's probably ...

Aye, watched it live too. Basically about as on the button as you could ask for.

Very neat watching them punch a hole through the atmosphere (the last live show from the capsule seemed to show plasma flowing off it) and drop all the way down to the ocean.

It's amazing that interest in the Epstein stuff (by google search results) had dropped quite a lot. Now, with her statement, straight back to where they were before the conflict with Iran.

These people are just.....remarkably stupid.

He’s already been exposed for being a complete incompetent. People over there just seem to be a ruder class with such things not being as important. The politicians there seem to be ok with shouting and swearing at each other. Epstein threw our politics into disarray for a while but it was pretty ...

Israel pissing off the billionaires who are heavily invested in oil is a move that might not end well for them in terms of US support...

PMQs isn’t fit for purpose and so wouldn’t help. I can’t remember the last time any PM answered a contentious question properly on it. Just a waste of time unfortunately.


When they don't answer questions, it tends to make the news and be reported on, though - as it stands, in the US, if the ...

Yup, he shat his pants.

And entirely unrelated, he chickened the fuck out.

Apparently a developing nation with nuclear weapons developed in secret (No, not Iran - Pakistan!) """"""""requested""""""" that he not start his 'civilisation ending' action.

There's some irony or hypocrisy there (look up ...

"This ones for the performance lovers"

No, it's for collectors.

Yaaaaaaaaawn

Those wheels looking utterly fucking moronic on it.

My days of not taking restomodders seriously are certainly coming to a middle.

"I see your mum has got a new car"

Pains me to post this, but a my mate who had a good garage (and did some TV stuff) had a fire next to his unit that, er, destroyed *his* unit, so he has to sell shit. Because it's basically killed his business given that all the bona fide classics in his workshop burned to the ground. All insured ...

Yeah, it's weird seeing people frame it as some sort of break up between Ukraine and NATO, whereas in reality, Ukraine are just ahead of the curve due to being on the (literal) bleeding edge of a conflict using the absolute latest tech, en masse.

Watching us head to the moon for the first time is really something.

Hopefully we can send DT there to be King of the Moon


Just tell Trump there's unsupervised 13 year old girls there, he'll fund dozens of missions for it.

I've got the livestream running in the background, hopefully goes off without ...

Brimmed the car up today, knocking on £80, rather annoying, but in fairness it'll last me a month given I don't use the car too often these days - I'm sure it was closer to £60 last time. Oof. Fucking ballache for people filling up weekly and not on a decent wage.
