That's a tough year, sorry to read that. Were there no positives? Might seem minor by comparison, bit they count. You're right DJ, plenty to be grateful for, kids doing well in school, work kept me out of trouble and had some fun trips. As for driving, well my old man's Volvo 144 probably needs a r...

Well, have now ticked over a year back in Aus and have been thoroughly reminded just how craptacular Melbourne weather is. Funnily enough it's now this time of year everyone is missing being in the UK with the appropriate atmosphere for Christmas, had there been a white Christmas back in Norfolk th...

Merry Christmas you bunch of fruitloops.

With Geely seemingly still as yet unable to drag Lotus into profitability/sustainability/sanity I can't imagine they'll have any appetite for another "eccentric" UK manufacturer.

Skynet decided our fate in a microsecond...

Can't help but feel the GT would be a more interesting proposition if McLaren had gone with the 3 seat option from the Speedtail.

Aren't "regular" Maccas already accomodating enough but with edge when you want it?

Beat me to it

Speculation that tomorrow's Epic Games freebie will be Quake II remastered.

Gremlins.

On a similar note after watching an ad for "Disturbance in the Force" I found a copy of the Star Wars Holiday special. Halfway through it is really really weird and not in an interesting way, in a very very crap way.

Looking forward to watching the doco now.

Ha! Easy sell at the moment as Mrs Yob very much misses having a cold Christmas.

But no plans to go back for quite a few years yet, one international move a decade is plenty.

Titan XL is exactly what my fatarse needs for WFH.

FFS, I've got COVID and a laughing coughing spasm just about crippled me.

Excellent AI wrangling on display.

That's a dangerously close to projecting coffee across the keyboard snort.

And the sexbots.

Don't forget them.

Gemma bot is just around the corner.

Still shedloads of Elite Dangerous (and dragging in a few friends too) Too much Fortnite. Vampire Survivors when on the road. Did manage to lower the pile of shame to the tune of; Control - Ace Xfiles vibe Alien Isolation - bloody amazing and best Alien story in decades. Stanley Parable - misread Be...

For what should be an polished trailer past the surface shiney it didn't do much for me.
Rear brake discs glowing and instantly fading rubber trails were a couple of less than promising details.

I may also go for Boring Car Trivia 4, Richard Porter's new book which he spruiks on the excellent Smith n Sniff podcast.

If you liked the first 3, you'll like this one.

Haven't read any of them.
