Well here I am in the 21st Century, Have to say it ain't as cool as I hoped it'd be. No man on the moon, nobody on Mars, and where the hell is my flying car? Account focussed on farming, dogs, tractors and Putin's genocidal invasion of Ukraine.

www.ft.com/content/3c05... THOSE RESPONSIBLE FOR SACKING THE RACISTS WHO HAVE JUST BEEN SACKED, HAVE BEEN RACIST AND SACKED.
After Reform UK seized control of Staffordshire county council last May, new leader Ian Cooper made a promise.
His mission was to "keep under the radar" by demonstrating "professionalism and
competence".
By December, Cooper had quit as leader and been expelled from the party following allegations of racism. His replacement was also accused of racism and quit within days of being chosen.
