Steering wheels should be round. The clue is in the name.

Ignoring for a moment that I did maths, further maths and physics at A Level roughly 5 million years ago, I think I may be better at words than numbers... 🤣

Someone posted this in a group chat and I can't not see it now. Sorry.
Child's plastic toy car in the traditional red body and yellow roof design, which may or may not look a little like the new Citroen 2CV concept, if you squint and use your imagination.

It's amazing that partridges have survived at all when you think about it.

This is all way too plausible. Do you have inside knowledge?

It has crossed my mind that we may have reached the point on the idiocracy timeline where the only viable form of government is benevolent dictatorship.

I have a friend who has just escaped from traffic in a force I won't name. They went from double to single crews *years* ago, are so busy supporting general policing they have no time to do traffic work, and he was frequently the only traffic unit on duty overnight *in the entire force region*.

I'm convinced Toyota's design remit for the C-HR was "take a Juke and make it worse".

It's the in look for AI generated influencers. Apparently.

People. Yes I know that's not original, but I can't help the truth can I. 🤷‍♂️

The only one I like is the one in the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust collection which has the correct engine.

Magnificent. I am a sucker for sensible JDM luxo barges. 👌 There's a Crown Athlete locally and I go a bit weak every time I see it.

It's not often an article makes me as angry as that one did. Fair play to Motoring Research for reporting it absolutely dead pan and yes, elite level ranting while somehow managing not to just shout incoherently. P.S. I also own a tactical spork.

I remember a pre-season friendly at Rhyl about 20 years ago. We wondered why the town centre was deserted on a Tuesday evening in August, until we saw the size of the seagulls. They'd take a small child, never mind your fish and chips.

I know the answers on Cardle UK (cardle.uk) can be a bit ... er ... variable, but this is a Japanese/Italian collaboration of which I was absolutely unaware.

I would say I'm sorry but I'd be lying. (Probably another country song title there)

Don't know about the fire part, but Six Foot Horny Jesus is a great song title.

It is. But I still love it. Best way is just to write off all the tech (and half the plot lines tbh) as pure fantasy and hold onto the comfort blanket that maybe, just maybe, there are still one or two Harry Pearces lurking in the corridors of power.

I have a theory that at least some of the people who are so vehement it isn't a problem need glasses but are too thick/proud to get their eyes tested.

Yes, I reckon vermin can be defined at least as much by context as species. A bit like plants - a weed is not a particular species but a plant that isn't supposed to be there. (Personally, I like a garden full of "weeds".) I'll make an exception for pigeons, though. They are all vermin.
