Please play nicely. No one wants to listen/read a keyboard warriors rants....
AlbseimersJust realised I posted the same thing twice.
The heat must be really getting to me.
Its an age thing Albs
Far cough the pair of ya.
Crippling student loan debt won't help matters.
One of my old gaffers jumped in front of an intercity, believed to be he couldn’t handle the bullying from his gaffer
Being battered around the head ( or knocked out cold as was the case with Ricky) probably doesn't help with both physical and mental health
There was an ex-rugby player in the last week or so who has been diagnosed with something nasty. I can't quite remember his name.
Lewis Moody.....I needed the assistance of Mr google.
Motor Neurone Disease. A horrible way to go, poor fella.

He had mental health problems for a few years, Mick. Lots of sympathetic friends, with the means to support him if necessary, but he still couldn't see a way out.
It's just such a shame that, with the amount of people jumping on this particular health issue, it's difficult to spot the genuinely sick ones.
RIP, Ricky, you were a diamond.
Had to press the Countryman back into service as the Yeti is playing up, bloody emission stuff. That Omega engine is sweet and sounds the mutts nuts with the straight through silencers!!
Many years ago I owned a Rover 3.5 SD1 Vitesse TP. Just before we were due to go on holiday, it blew a hole in the centre box of the exhaust and was blowing badly. We were skint back then so as a temporary measure I cut out the middle box and welded a length of oversize pipe in its place to bridge the gap. When I started the engine the burbling V8 sounded the mutts nuts with just the rear box, so I never bothered to replace the exhaust system. It even went through future MOT’s like it.
The 190 BHP Vitesse lump made the V8 Rover lump quite quick.
It was good for around 135mph. The car was classed as years ahead of its time, but unfortunately the rust appeared years ahead of its time as well.
Mine was Moonraker Blue and had the ten function computer display with average speed, average mpg and ETA etc. on it. On a late night run down a motorway, my 240 mile journey ETA was two hours and my average mpg at that speed was …….. 6.
........so for cars registered with a shiny new '75' plate.
And here lies the problem, 'Registered', EV's, not 'sold' EV's.
Autotrader is full of 'New' second hand EV's with around 10 miles on the clock at a reduced price. It appears to be a car manufacturers/dealers trick to reduce the amount of fines for the lack of EV's sold compared to petrol and diesel vehicles.
Yep.... You make a good point. Which is why I was able to buy Mrs Opti a milk float with a 60% discount.
I also reckon there could be some good deals on the last of the derv cars......if they want to shift them.
That's a serious amount of discount.

Paid a local outfit £30 to wash and valet the milk float ahead of our trip to Heathrow tomorrow. Absolute bargain in my book, it took three of them 35mins to get it looking as good as when BMW dropped it off.
