Re: In todays light hearted look at the (non-political) news

Don't think they have taken off yet maybe they can pack a covid test kit. On a more serious note why has it been 50 years since we set foot ( or robot) on the moon. Does make you wonder if the first time was just a fluke and they realized how risky it is or if there is really no big benefit to go ...

Was watching the news and they are sending a lunar mission to the dark side of the moon. Wonder if they will land on the moon and if they do will the flag flap in the wind like it did last time round.

Re: Six Nations 2026 :) :) :)

Some great matches in this tournament with the kicking Scotland gave France and the close England France final match were the best in my opinion. Let's hope England play like this for the world cup. Feel sorry for the Irish as they played well and consistently in all their matches.

Re: Show Us Your Ugly Mugs






But we can still say cunt yes (Y)

Only if you are under 15, and think it really impresses people. Other than that, i would think that the English language offers far more scope to insult protagonists in an erudite manner

Oh yes the transam was another one,along with the AC cobra and corvette and also the Renault alpine a110. None of the above really good cars but I liked them as I had not driven them and it was the lines and the look.

Re: Dream cars of your youth....

I used to really like the Alfa Romeo gtv. (Referred to at times as an Alfa Romero by the people who also say Pacific rather than specific). I loved the shape. I consider myself lucky to not have owned one as other than the shape they are not that good.

They have just lifted the south east water hosepipe ban ( two days ago) and it's been raining so much they have flood warnings. You could not write it any better if you were trying to do irony. :flame:

Re: Six Nations 2026 :) :) :)

Looking forward to a good tournament. Must say the tmo does make it a bit tedious but at least players know they won't get away with much.
Great win for England. Shame about the W(h)ales. :banana-wrench:

Re: Road cables.

the two tubes are there to be able to discriminate between the vehicles travelling in each direction, I am quite positive the speed would only be an indicative measure and not that accurate, also if it were to be used for enforcement it would have to be VCA approved which I am sure they are not
