Whats worrying is not thet the shows are so niche, but that we're not even a fifth of the way into the 21st century.  Perhaps the Guardian is worrying that we won't even get to the half-way mark!

Toyota=whitegoods on wheels! The vehicle you buy when you have no interest in motoring or driving, would make Shumacher drive like a 85-year old vicar.

The E-type is all right if you don't mind getting the bus home, not a very well built car and on the original cross ply tyres not a very good drive either.

“I'm left-handed - but there's nothing scary about that“
 

One of my brothers and my youngest daughter are both left handed. And both were/are the biggest handful growing up. 
 

So, yes, scary.

Sinister, thats what I say!

I would ask Dexter!

Was it going clip clippety clop on the shelf?

Well, I declare!

And here it was (in 2016): http://www.bullnose.org.uk/event-galleries/autumn-rallywinchester-sept-2016/

I think it appeared at the North Norfolk Railway's Titfield Thunderbolt weekend in 2012;

I'm lucky when it doesn't timeout and it's been like this for days.

They did a software update a few days ago.  Its probably been reindexing itself.

What's with the Bullingdon Club's fascination with pigs?

They have a Boars Head at Christmas?

Did BoJo attend? He loves Peppa. 

What's the world speed record for a push bike?

@Captain Kernow184MPH - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cycling_records

All powered vehicles, including electric vehicles, are classed as motor vehicles under the RTA, even those ***** electric scooters, although there is an exception for some [but not all] electric bicycles. They are therefore all subject to speed limits and restrictions on where they can be legally used, must be taxed and insured, and users must have licences and are subject to minimum age requirements.

At that rate of comparison, the fuel sounds almost reasonable!  However its not the same as the rake of Hornby Railroad Mk1s that could be obtained before things went mad....

You think that's bad. More importantly,  have you seen the price of Nickel now ? 

Better get your PECO streamline while you still can............

Rob. 

Burgulars will be breaking into houses to rip up model railway track to sell to scrap dealers, and ignore all the expensive locos, etc.  Just like the real thing!

BFBS - remember it well. I also remember Forces Favourites!

Forces TV removed from Freeview as of tomorrow.

Yes. I've just checked and it's going from Sky and Virgin also. Apparently, Offcom flogged the frequencies its multiplex uses to EE who wanted more of them for 5G. BFBS decided that that without being of Freeview it wasn't financially viable to run the channel just on the paid for networks.

As always, a public service (in this case run by a charity mainly for our servicemen and women and their families but appreciated by many other viewers) loses out to commercial interests.

I knew one their senior engineers who I'd worked with on the Microlive programme in the 1980s who went to BFBS after leaving the beeb. He showed me round their HQ near Missenden once. 

shame it was a good station

I don't think an ordinary Roman, citizen or slave, would know anything about the Anno Domini dating system (Popularised by the Venerable Bede in the 7th/8th century). 

Year dating in Rome around then was by reference to  the current Caesar and the Consuls for the year. So if the poor bu@@er had his wits about him, he might have blurted, in Latin, something like "its the Year of the Consulship of Titus and Vespasianus", or if an intellectual, "Year 832 since the founding of Rome".

The movement of an Echo device is the least of the annoyances about that futile ad!

Hehehehehehe... 

btw Pompey was a Roman general who died over a century before the eruption of Vesuvius, which destroyed Pompeii, Herculaneum and other places......

So it's not the place by the Isle of Wight?

Pompey destroyed in 79AD

 

They were relegated shortly thereafter.

I've just been out to my shed and found it swaying and rocking so much I think I'd end up seasick if I stayed in there more than a few minutes!

Never mind speed awareness courses - or the "rock and roll" routine - some bins round here are doing flying lessons.

I wonder if this might have anything to do with some of them containing empty Red Bull cans ... .

OK - I get the message: Hat - coat - all gone ... .

Just been to shove my wheelies back into a corner, they were about to begin exploring the garden wall.

Sometimes, if they've not been fed recently, they're almost sentient....

Whole hazelnuts!

Crackers.

Its when the howling starts that you should be worried....

Is it the dog, or is it the owner.

@truffy The Wurzels have an alternative method which uses tools easier to obtain in this country.

The Wurzles even make the Barron Knights sound sensible!. though after that lot, its no wonder that Punk seemed a good idea...

LWTUAG is all very well, but

Just for one moment, thought I'd found my way
Destiny unfolded, I watched it slip away

Says it all.

That was supposed to be LWTUAA...

For some reason, it won't let me edit my previous post...

The minor things that trigger technical progress are amazing!

It has to do with seeing the light.

Bottle, glass, glass, bottle.

What did the bottle contain?

How Big was My Bottle, said the poet.

Is that the beanstalk that's used in making Life A Minestrone? Though I'm guessing you'd need more than 10cc?

I never knew beans talk.

Beans are the musical fruit.

The more you eat the more you toot.
