Especially given he'll be walking out before half-eleven. 😁 I jest, I think, though it's hard to know how England are going to play these days. Bring back Chris Tavare, that's what I say. Happy to see Woakes and Wood back in the side, I think they've both got something to offer depending on...

Is top of the list, "Delete web browser history"? 😁

We can't section them mate, we haven't got the staff.😄 We'll just have to lock them up in the regular jails, as is the way these days...

Robbing bastards. Might be worth trying one of the smaller garages or even one of the quick fit places. Any half decent mechanic should be able to identify a significant suspension issue pretty quickly... Springs, shocks, bearings, or bushes, basically, imho. A ramp, a torch, and a big lever...

If only that would work on the better half when I'm driving. 😁 If you'd told me when I was twenty, that one day I'd enjoy driving nice and steadily, in a comfy automatic, with the radio off, I'd have thought you were mad. 😄

I remember them on the small portables, for sure. I'm sure the black plastic channel knobs on our old TV could be tuned in individually - what we'd call "user configurable", these days... 😁

And the only way to change them was by physically pushing the button on the TV (assuming you'd got 50p for the meter on the back. Two words, "Radio Rentals"!) And your Dad got you to work as the 'remote', because he wanted to kip on the sofa after dinner (which was actually called 'tea').

I'm not a big one for conspiracy theories, but I'm fairly confident that Russia was very keen to support anyone and anything that was behind Brexit. Boris's trip to Italy, where he ditched his official security, was hugely suspicious and wildly inappropriate for any member of Government. If...

Don't remember the Fantic at all in truth, but the SS50 definitely rings a bell. After not bothering to take my test and going from C90, to 250 (350, ahem), and then 125 (MZ 'Camel'), they brought in a law where if you hadn't passed your test in two years you got booted down to mopeds. So...

I was literally thinking of 400/4 when I was rambling on earlier. Loved 'em, but could never spring for one. I did have a CB350 K4 for a while, (when, ahem, I really shouldn't have had!). I loved that bike, I'd love one now but they're way out of my range. That C90, much as it got mocked...

Yep, to be honest I don't need to go that fast to have a laugh, and I'm certainly not as brave/stupid as once I was. There's something to be said for a simple, light bike, that you can move around without getting a hernia, and that makes the garage Tetris a bit easier to solve. KTM 390 is a...

I started riding on my 17th birthday (Honda C90, oh the humanity!), and kept going on and off until finally passing my test in my thirties. Without admitting too much, I may have been stretching the boundaries of legality on occasion, cc wise. 🙂 I'm now back down to a 250 dirt bike just for...

I'd post the FT link, but it's gone behind the paid subscriber wall. It's what they said though, honest!

FT is reporting that... "Wagner Group leader Yevgeny Prigozhin still faces charges, says Russian state media." Also that Putin has signed a decree that lets the Russian military recruit prisoners, presumably learning from Wagner on that one. Hmm. What professional soldier wouldn't want to...

Given how untrustworthy all sides are, and what's already happened and been said, I can see it all blowing up again pretty soon. Can but hope...

Never happen in this country, the M4 is a bollox once you get past Slough. Last stand at Heston services might be the best we could hope for, probably wouldn't even get to the ULEZ. 😄

Funny in a way. Russia went into Ukraine, thinking they'd whip down the highway, take Kyiv, and replace the President in three days. Turns out that the whole country was willing to fight and die to stop that happening. Wagner, heading for Moscow, might well be there in two!

The key will be whether the regular Russian army is willing to die for Putin. If they either join with Wagner or just sit on their hands, it might be all over for Putin. Otherwise you'd have to think Wagner is finished. Either result could be good for Ukraine. This was always Putin's...

Just saw this myself (and started a thread at the same time!). Really sad news, I always thought he was a very decent player in a really good team. Led the line well and unselfishly, and had no little ability. No age at all, as others have said.

Just spotted on twitter that Roussel passed away today. That's tremendously sad news. I'll always remember him as a significant part of a very exciting City team. In his mid forties too, that's no age at all. RIP. http://standard.be/nl/news/cedric-roussel
