Trump

Car took over £100 of V-Power yesterday.. I remember the last time fuel was rationed, flying is (was) classed as critical workforce so ended up getting fuel with all the emergency vehicles. That was when my airport car a Cavalier 1.7TD - would feel a bit pish taking using M3 or similar though

Ukraine provinding drone assistance to help the gulf states win the drone warfare.

Trump has fucked up so badly with this war; he completely called it wrong. He thought he could do another Venezuela. I don't think he can win this one easily, he'll probably announce that he's going to nuke Iran before doing his usual Taco manouvre.

Apparently Iran released this animation, which is hilarious if true

Filled up the Skoda at the weekend. No SUL at my usual Tesco on the A34, and no diesel either!

Will take the 330 to work tomorrow and hopefully there's still be some UL left for me to brim that.

Damn I might need to go and fill up. Almost on empty right now and don't need the car this week, but it could be chaos nearer the bank holiday

The Iranian trolling is outstanding

Not looking forward to fuel chaos, as usual the media is helping create issues, telling people to fill up before the price rises, reporting shortages and queues which immediately gets everyone else buying some just incase.

I'm genuinely amazed that I've yet to see any queues, stockpiling or anything of the sort. Other than an occasional closed pump, it's been business as usual around my way. Always driven straight up to a pump - especially as the newspapers are very doom and gloom about whats happening.

I've been re-filling at 1/2 tank though, just in case to avoid leaving me high and dry if it does all kick off.

Feels like people just aren’t driving very much. Roads in and around London feel far less busy now. I suppose between the much greater adoption of EVs and WFH it’s a much lesser issue these days than last time around.
