I think the main thing is to elect a party that isn't, you know, using the deliberate harming of the poor and marginalised as a vote-winning tactic. Maybe a party that would be uncomfortable with the concept of lining their pockets as the country burns, and 'letting the bodies pile up in the street'...

Starmers speech was an easy winner today - pretty hard not to agree with words like "chaos" and "self serving" in reference to the Tories. I found it laughable that Sunak was banging on about 'not knowing what you'll get' with Labour. Mate, if I'm up to my neck in a bucket of li...

That speech sounded like someone trying to point out that the house burned down and collapsed, but look - look how easy it is to clean the roof gutters now that they're in the garden! While looking like a drowned (roland) rat. I screengrabbed this for my american disord pals, and it feels like it su...

Yep, person dies from heart attack. But wat about the seatbeltz 🙄 You know that there are 104 injured, 58 of those are in hospital, and 20 of those in intensive care, right? Most of them with injuries resulting from being throw into - and in some cases literally inside of - the overhead lockers/sto...

I do like to squirt away from lights promptly where possible, and thanks to bags of torque below 3k rpm you can do that without being a twat about it

BMW's M cars (even M lites) are after all the biggest sign of capitalist oppluence and bourgoise.

Buying them new maybe

Next step, once the E46 is finally moved on, is to find local quiet roads to test things out on. Ones that aren't 50mph average speed camera areas like most of the stuff around here.

Even if that means going 40 miles east.

I have discovered that if you put the M135i in to 'TRACTION' mode (a single press of the TC button) it pops and crackles like an absolute motherfucker on the overrun - about as much, if not more than in sport+, but without the firm gearchanges, heavy steering etc. I am absolutely not being a child w...

A Granada Cosworth world be my preference.

Wait, what?

Plus, I eat however much I want which when you’re a fatty boom boom is bloody lovely. Tell me more..... ;) I went through a period of eating little but red meat and I definitely lost a few pounds, but I'm also fucking idle (IE I work fully remote, so don't get much 'day to day' exercise) so I shoul...

Nice one, I recall it being....scathing is not the right phrase, but it was rather forthright about the shoddy state of their finances

No more Brembo for me. Dave! Weirdly, MOT tester this morning said near enough the same thing. He used to buy Brembo, trusted brand and all that, but lately he's seen the disks go to shit on the regular, to the extent that he explicitly warns people off them now. So I don't think it's just you....

Clearly not marriage material then.

Rivian came up somewhere else that I talk about cars, and I remembered this article and wanted to link it, but it seems to have disappeared from Karenable (understandable) but not made it to the SSOReport, @SSO ?

I still have a chance then. I'm more overweight and hairier than you, I reckon

Early 20s folks are kids to me. I think if a 23 year old lass made a pass at me, I'd laugh

Don't know that games use to come on cassette tapes, as finished products? I'm not interested

MOT'd, no advisories. Front brakes getting a little low, and one of the control arm bushes is noticably, but neither of those are 'advisory' level bad, just something he thought I'd like to know about, so I'll look into that and probably get them to replace the control arms bushings with something a...

**refreshes MOT check website for the seventieth time today** Where's mah MOT and service, garage? Edit: serviced. Thier deliver guy fucked up and spilled the engine oil into the cabin filter during the delivery though, so they had to get that redelivered, which pushed it to end of day, so MOT tomor...
