Whoever thought of the idea should be forced to continually run across the M6 during rush hour. Its obvious to anyone with two brain cells to rub together that its madness.

« on: 26 January 2020, 23:02:35 »I,m gonna have "Breathe" by Pink Floyd at mine, because that,s one thing i won,t be doing.
Worth having in any circumstances because its a great song from arguably the best album ever made.

Funerals don't get any better than this one.

Omega General Help / Re: Think i'm gonna need a new Auto Gearbox.

7 or 8 years ago it was almost a case of struggling to give them away. The most I ever got for one was £100.

With that kind of mileage it isn't worth messing around with imo. Should be able to pick one up for £100 that's done half the miles.
New fluid and filter, bolt it in and forget about it for another 10 years or so.

GM Europe went as far as building a prototype V8, but decided against it. The excuse given was that cooling was too marginal, but it seems more likely that the powers that be stopped it as GM Europe (along with Ford) had already decided to pull out of the big car market.

That fact is much more scary for the west than any virus they might export.

I have a feeling Becky Wrong-Daily will win. A lot of the members are hard left Corbynistas and the moderate votes will be split between Starmer and Nandy.
It doesn't really mater though. Unless something very drastic happens to save it, the party is dying a long slow death. The only person who was born within the last 100 years to have won an election as Labour leader is Blair. And he wasn't really Labour anyway.
Time will tell.

Washed both of them. This gave me a feeling of great satisfaction because Im a sad bastid. The Omega has been filthy for the last week, and it has really annoyed me every time I looked at it.
When I was drying it, I noticed a small patch of lacquer missing on the roof. Approx. shape of the average bird shit. Feeling pissed off again now.

Nor should they be allowed to drive at night, unless they fit a pair of powerful lights on the front of their cars, so its similar to driving during the day...……

Personally, I thought the original TV series was the most pretentious over rated shite Ive ever seen.
Only thing I can remember really laughing at was Cleese in Ministry of funny walks.
The films were pretty good though.
