If he is still alive will the police statement that he's dead give him the chance to slip away , have they completely given up looking for him ?

Sadly this is just typical of the sh*t show this country ( or more precisely the people who allegedly "run it " ) has become

Can we still call it Man Flu , should it not be "non specific gender Flu" ?

I am 63 this year and in my head I feel I am like a 24 year old. Sadly the body is a completely different coversation.

« on: 26 December 2023, 21:40:10 »We're in a recession in all but name , the last quarter financial statement will confirm itYeah, I'll be equally glad to put 2023 behind me. What a shitty year, although I'm thankful I've not even been near a hospital this year. Probably just as well, as you've hogged the bedsSome ol' crap about 12th night, blah blah...
If the 12th night superstition is anything to go by, I’ll agree with you on this occasion. I’ve had enough shit luck the last couple of years so I’m happy for you not to tempt fate ….. leave them be.
This time last year we hoped that 2023 would be better. But it started badly, and got worse.
Maybe 2024 will manage it, but the signs aren't good

« 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 .

Also fond of Vodka, Gin, Pernod, red wine and beer.
Hate Red wine and prefer Lager to Beer, but Vocka, drunk plenty of that.
