Would you report these? Walker in road, no footpath, 40mph B road. First car slows but barely deviates, does not cross double whites. Second car gives a metre but does not slow much, and did not wait for me to pass, splitting the difference. HWC 163 2 metres and slow. #Walking #HWC

The M42 now has a fine example at J6 of what happens when you need weight limits to preserve infrastructure but everyone thinks their one little HGV can't do any harm. You just know that some entitled driver would collapse the whole thing.

Impressive arrival next door. Less impressive was the owner (not our neighbour) manoeuvring into the driver's seat. #AstonMartin #DB4

No doubt you have devoured The Making of Star Trek. I devoured it back in the 70s.

Ah, when I was a kid, we fitted 3 children and 2 adults into a Morris 1100. We were always sick. Dad had to take it to the garage to get the boot to close because he bent it trying to force a fortnight's luggage in.

Farage's plan for undercover officers when he gets into power.

It gets worse. Google then lies to cover up it's mistake. In response to Show working.

Spalding used to have much weirder cars.

Trump should only be played by Gary Oldman, he's already got the outfit.

My bad, 1982.

Trains, excellent. Ticket machines...?

Back in 1987, I got to see the embalmed body of Mao Tse-Tung. It was rather green though that might have been the 3" glass of the sarcophagus. It is not surprising with the advancement of medical science that they can now embalm the living.

I was decorating and I found an ancient Logitech Boombox bluetooth speaker that belonged to Mrs S's first husband, so that hasn't been used since 2013. Inbuilt battery still holds many hours worth of charge. Controls: On/off, BT connect, volume. 2 lights: on/off, connected. We have not progressed.

Thank you for reminding me of my mate Alistair the Punk Rocker, who used to walk around Manchester with that radio on his shoulder in ~1980.

Reminds me of an art installation at a castle by Lake Como (2018). Apparently the artist got tourists to volunteer to be covered in the shroud which then retained their shape. They slowly decompose, adding to the effect.

With the decline of the railways, once proud engines have to find employment where ever they can.

She's our Queen, it is our prerogative to insult & joke about her, as we do with all our public figures. Even QE II was fair game.

What about this?

I've been fighting a battle with Costa on Knowle. They already have a chunk of public pavement for seating. I didn't take a picture of the time it was central in the gap and I had a good old shout at them. This is after the Council told them they only licence them adjacent to the property.

Town centres generally have very functional transport systems. They are focused on delivering you to retail and business centres. Hospitals are rarely the hub of transport systems. My journey to Heartlands, my designated A&E is a multiple uncoordinated bus/train journey.

Lots to do there. But you do need to book things like visiting the Parliament building a long way ahead. The train to Bratislava was cheap, though being small it is nearly a day trip sort of place. You can also see where Orban was historifying the buildings round the Presidential Palace.

Posts from Trump that Mike Johnson is not aware of. #789 in a series.

Who'd have thought that the demon Baal was a DEI hire?

At this point I think it would be similarly helpful if we sent some British royalty to support Orban.

Fortunately I've just fitted one of these to my phone.

They are. I used to think that Britain didn't have interesting birds (too many Attenborough documentaries) but now we have time to look, even the common birds are interesting.
