Fwiw I got pulled a few years ago, driving without a MOT. By a traffic car with ANPR on the M42/A42, unless it's changed since then I don't think regular response cars have ANPR fitted, but I could be wrong. It was a genuine mistake, and it was a good six months out of date (I genuinely thought...

Tony Blair, a very rich man these days, strangely enough, turns out to be a Tory. In the meantime... Starmer et al, of the LINO party (Labour In Name Only), happily take donations from the private healthcare trough...

Feckin' Coutts. They won't let me bank with them either. They say it's because I haven't got 3 million in my current account, but I think it's really because I was in the same room as Tony Benn, once.* Cancelled. Waah! *This is actually true, though admittedly it was also with a few hundred...

It's gone way beyond selections for Starmer, he's clearing the party of the left wherever possible. Do you genuinely think Corbyn would have deselected a popular, effective, but right-leaning mayoral candidate, already in post, and with a very substantial majority. Starmer actually just did...

Fair point. Still reckon I'd take it over the M5 to Cornwall when the kids break up. 😄

Politely disagree mate. Whether you liked Corbyn or not, he at least tried to unite the left and right of the party. Under Starmer it's quite clearly and obviously a purge of the left using any pretext available.

Puts another dent in Putin's reputation at home too, which can't hurt. Perhaps discourages travel in general across the bridge too, I certainly wouldn't fancy it knowing that it's constantly at risk of attack...

And of course, the Government's solution to a falling birth rate is a two-child benefit cap and a vigorous commitment to reduce immigration. Supported completely by the (supposedly) Labour government in waiting. For the first time in our lives, the average height of children is falling...

Beat me to it! First thing I thought of was "On yer bike!". Him and Carl Chinn (who is still alive of course) made brummy accents almost acceptable, then Peaky Blinders came along and ruined it all. 😁

Even if it is sky blue, I'm not wearing a thong.... again. 😄

I prefer to think of myself as 'big-boned'... though why all those bones seem to be squishy and residing specifically in my stomach area, I've no idea. 😁

Sports Direct? Well, if they use the same sizing strategy as their mugs, at least this one will fit me. 😄

File this one under "they're making it up as they're going along". (Below: Department head returning underspend...)

If it's not Rudge-Whitworth this season, then I'm not buying a shirt... 😄

The way I'm reading this, is that in effect Blues are taking over the Henley-in-Arden training place. I guess what's left of Wasps might be able to use a bit of it, maybe rent a pitch on Thursday nights or something, but it suggests that another part of their mad fever dream has bitten the dust.

I think I got the basic idea, mate. 😁 The fact is, as good as some of these spots are, it still feels like patchwork to me, and has done for a very long time. Like I say, it's opinions, I'd love the city centre to thrive again, but I'm not sure there's a genuine architectural vision there of...

And when might these plans come to fruition? I've been hearing this for 30 odd years, please forgive my cynicism!

That's a fair point, but PMQs always seems like the most embarrassing part of UK politics these days. The committee hearings tend to draw more facts out, but we deserve better from all of our politicians than the braying, pointless, shite, that passes for parliamentary debate these days...

Times must still be hard, if he's fixing it with sellotape. That's like one of my DIY bodges. 😄

The precinct was a brilliant piece of post-war planning, and personally I don't think many of the subsequent "improvements" ever added to it. The escalator, in particular, was an abomination, again imho.
