Bombay Bad Boy

Meanwhile, on the island where there is some competition https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-68013741

I have in my hand a piece of paper. Actually, I'm going to need some more, that was a bad curry.

Let it be.

Repost opportunity

What else emerged, was that the Post Office had the power to bring prosecutions, without the involvement of the Police. How can a private company do that? Is it a government-owned utility, where it can be public when it wants (to get public funds) and private when it wants (no FOI here, doesn't apply) Stop me if this sounds familiar.

I wouldn't mind higher tax rates. As long as the revenue actually gets spent on public services, and not just to line the pockets of politicians and their buddies.

There's definite activity at the giant climbing frame, is it being finished, or torn down?

Make sure your travel insurance covers: 1) Door to door from the IOM. Some small print says your cover starts when you fly out of the UK, and ends when you fly back in. If you then take further flights to the Island, tough. 2) If relevant, stays at places other than hotels. If you are staying at someone's house as your holiday, or because they live near an airport and you've an early flight the next day, that part may not count as a trip in the insurer's eyes, and you may not be covered.

They had Triumph at TT2023 , I thought it was a limited run special edition. I don't drink beer, but I'm told it's good stuff.

If it says 'British Citizen', the discussion ends there. John is correct, there is no such nationality as 'manx'. Painful, I know. Furthermore, when you travel to foreign lands, on the landing card it will ask what country you live in. You might be a manx-as-the-hills yessir, who's never left the Island before, but you have to write 'UK' for that.

All that suggests to me, is that the accessible facilities were tacked on as a box-ticking afterthought, and not really designed and tested with the help of those it affects.

That's him Chas (RIP) tised.

We'll be forced into them simply by the MoT goalposts being moved such that no 20 year old ICE car will be allowed on the road. Then 19, 18 etc.

Need for Speed Traadyliooar Drift

I've been to a gokart track in the US, where they deliberately keep it hosed down (they call it the 'slick track') slipping and sliding around on slick tyres, good luck getting the thing over 5mph. Incredible fun, and instructional for when you get a grown-ups car.

Well that didn't take long

It's all very well getting a cheap M5 or Range Rover Sport with blacked out windows, but everyone'll think you're a dealer.

The free bar afterwards was rammed 😀

WKD.

Diesel cars still have ECU's and whatnot, and who knows what else would've been at risk. I had a car where the alternator poked out below the engine, and was susceptible to damp conditions.

That one's Bean done to death.

Well he certainly wasn't pleased to see them.

No, let him do what he wants, if he has a smart meter Hike his electricity price until a more reasonable date, and reduce for everyone else.

They used this plot in many episodes of Mindhorn.
