  1. What goes around comes around...
  2. Paddy McGintys Goat. It ate the note, and despite being stomach pumped, all they got was sixpence... Its a long time since I've heard the song!
  3. I remember seeing a Herald passing a line of parked cars, the offside was comfortably within the centreline of the road. A mumsie SUV following it overhung the line by a couple of feet... The Devil must have had further plans for the bu@@er.
  4. Must admit I've never used this remote-control shopping malarky. There's a Sainsbugs, a MegaTesco, an Asda, an M&S foodhall,, Local Tescos, Aldis and Lidls within a couple of miles and a Morrisons, another large Tescos, another M&S foodhall and another Asda within 5 miles radius. We're rather overserved by local supermarkets! I forgot, there's two more Aldi stores in the 5 mile zone, but one of the 2 mile zone Aldis has gone offline for refurbishment/enlargement...
  5. Yes, he's the sort to buy a Porsche 911 instead, take his new girlfriend out for Sunday lunch somewhere in the countryside to impress her, and wrap the pair of them around a tree on the way back...
  6. You had to ask your co-pilot to put the wipers on? 🤔 🤪
  7. In that case It'd be helpful if it took a photo of the person opening the door too, and one of the interior when the door was opened and when it was closed....
  8. More frequent but shorter trains is just a reversion to the principles of the Midland Railway...
  9. Looks like an updated Top Gear electric car!
  10. Audis attract Audi drivers, plonker and machine in perfect harmony... What's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander!

    EBay madness

    I was going by the cable colour, my Duette has grey cable, I associate black with more "modern" equipment. Thanks for pointing out the plug, must admit I've still got lamps that have white bakelite plugs on them...
  12. Another moment of satisfaction came from one of the digital channels police-chase programmes last night when an Audi, taken for insane driving and not collected, went into the crusher. The last shot was of four rather bent circles on the front of the former "vehicle"... 🤣
  13. Looking at the skintones, it seems that something went wrong with the colour balance in the Photoshop workflow...

    New Old Stock, perhaps. But the power cable looks anachronistic...

    EBay madness

    And while we're on ebay madness, Its still there! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/116115174483 Now down to £89.99 + £7.99 delivery charge.
  16. Hippo Bathday! I vaguely remember 77 Sunset Strip, mainly for the cars that seemed to be almost as wide as they were long, but nothing else, and the cars are probably a false memory thing too...
  17. As the saying goes, "Never blame a student when there's a BR employee about...". Though you wouldn't want to be branded as a knob twiddler* either! * Or the Phantom KT to boot...
  18.

  19. 'tis raining and cold. Say no more... Grey (recycling) bin today. Crammed to the brim with stuff. Luckily I put it out yesterday evening, when it was dry. Binnies collect any time between 8am and 4pm. No sign of 'em so far...

    The RS-Australia is rather like Taskmaster-NZ, not quite up to scratch!
  21. Unless everything goes into reverse and the universe vanishes into a Black Hole... In addition, I would like to say that I don't have any cake either.
  22. Sunny here too. Met office says its going to be sunny all day with less than 5% chance of precipitation. However, temperatures are expected to stay in single figures.
  23. But why is he slaying her pet dragon? You can clearly see its on a lead, being taken for a walk!
  24. I believe that all our ancestors date from the Cambrian Explosion*.... * Nothing to do with Wales and gunpowder!
  25. So why has he got a hot water bottle there? Is his rubberised horsehair freezing all over?
