« on: 10 December 2023, 17:19:13 »Think the Irish are more amenable to public road closures for rallying , not so much here !Rallying seems to be dying on it's ar*e at the moment . No RAC , Mintex , Rally GB , very little local action around hereI'm surprised that this slipped under the radar .
Unique is an apt description for her .

I spotted that. Good article. They dont do rallies like London Mexico/Sydney anymore. The recent Roger Albert Clark rally had a final special stage of around 38 miles. About the total stage length of modern rallies. The Lancia Stratos was a sight to behold and was being pedalled enthusiastically.
Still well supported over here where the public roads are closed off and used .
We had this locally last weekend , 'tis an annual event .

It normally runs passed my road end but this year took it to new stages so I didn't get a chance to see any of it .
The Irish Tarmac championship is a great series and nearly all are on Youtube .
I seldom watch WRC 1 cars now preferring WRC2 or European Rally Championship series . The competition in that catagory is wide and fierce and much much more entertaining .

« on: 10 December 2023, 17:16:04 »Not a fan of red wine usually but had some Australian "Whistling duck" with a meal and it really did hit the spot , not cheap but it was niceI have a nice bottle of Johnnie Walker Black Label.
Also fond of Vodka, Gin, Pernod, red wine and beer.
Hate Red wine and prefer Lager to Beer, but Vocka, drunk plenty of that.

Only the BBC would consider it appropriate to send a pair of presumably Muslim reporters into Israel this week and then write an article complaining about them being victims.

Trouble is a lot of these jobs , like HMP , the police , are now so unappealing they really do struggle to get staff

Disappointing outcome , considering the effort he made to escape , I thought he might have had a plan in place rather than hiding in Chiswick !
