I drove to Coventry and back yesterday, and found myself shouting and ranting at the stupidity of other road users.  Including the stoned out knob jockey in a Saab doing between 55 and 75 in the outside lane all the way from Longbridge Island to Banbury.

Totally oblivious to the carnage caused.

And that surprises you because? Saab drivers always fell into one of three camps... Those flat cappists who graduated from MGs, Architect types (and we all know how they are ) and hairdressers in their 9-3 convertibles.

No reason why that has changed any

It's probably a 25 mile stretch. Even most local Merc drivers realise within 10 miles....

I can see you still desire another Marina, Sir Tig.

Not sure you could use one as a daily now, without it disintegrating around you....

Driving out of the village tonight in the C1, avoiding the worst of the potholes, most of which have traffic cones sat in them to help with this.
Suddenly realised that the cone had gone missing from the last one, just too late and hit it so hard it burst the n/s/f tyre, which was brand new a month ago.
The state of the roads are a national disgrace, but the powers that be couldnt give a toss. 
Will need to check in the morning if anything else is bent / broken.   

Crude oil market has opened, with Brent Crude opening at $81.27 from Friday's close at $73.14! 

It's already fallen back to $78.60 though.

Afghanistan/Pakistan...

Coincidence or?

Maybe Trump has spotted Xi assembling forces to take over Taiwan. What is good for the goose etc ( he has changed the world rules hasn’t he) . So he will need to get military there.

That's a rather BIG maybe.

To stop short of bringing down the regime now would be beyond stupid.
Keep hammering the regime until the people come back out on the streets and take over the country again.
Then rename it Persia. 

Best thing you can do is choose a car you like, and buy the nicest one you can find.

What if you'd overdosed on Dorset Turnips and liked a Morris Marina, like Sir Tig.....

 

I was 19 and it cost me fifty quid with 6 months MOT & tax. 

It was a great car though and I used do a lovely drift in it around a hairpin bend deep in the lanes near here! 

....and don't forget it was the desirable 1.8TC coupe version....so the ladies went weak at the knees. Wet with anticipation.

 

It had a black 'go faster' stripe down the bonnet as well! 

Trump is now talking about negotiations, which makes his blood and thunder speech the other night seem like the usual crap he spouts. Just when the civilian population of Iran is starting to believe, the petulant child gets bored and changes his mind again.

I'm thinking that the mid terms might just clip his wings.
