Re: Ferry or Tunnel to France?

I'm a cheapskate and never found decent deals for the tunnel.

Always used the ferry, which if you book up just after Christmas can be quite cheap.

Re: Silverstone Auction results

Not surprisingly I quite like the 12C. Price seemed OK but not amazing. https://www.silverstoneauctions.com/assets/lot_images/xlarge/rec11296-2_3.jpg I did wonder when I saw that at 63K if that was good value or not? I lost track about the different models of McLarens some time ago! A McLaren MP4-1...

Re: No F1 thread?

Horner spouting bollocks that Perez is in the title fight, when they asked him to move over for Verstappen in Spain a few weeks ago!

By my shonky maths, Perez would currently be equal on points with Leclerc and only 3 points behind Verstappen of he was allowed to win in Spain...

Re: Tommy Sauce

You can’t put sauce on bacon! Name the place for our fight to the death! Mik is 100% correct. No Sauce on bacon (or indeed Sausages) However, ground pepper on a Bacon Sandwich is just weird. A tiny bit of mustard works well in a bacon sandwich. Tomato ketchup works well with an omelette too.

Re: Could you do it? (Not FTAO IanF)

Planes can autopilot land now, right? Surely it's just the press of a button then? :lol: If it's windy like a few weeks ago, so an autopilot landing isn't possible, then hopefully there's a doctor onboard who can revive one of the pilots... I'd actually like to hear what IanF thinks of this pleb off...
