There is a lot of terrible things going on in the world right now but I've just boiled the kettle for a nice cup of tea and perhaps a biccy or three only to discover there are no teabags. None.

I'm apparently four years late but we've just stumbled across Jet Lag: The Game and more specifically their Race Across Japan series. youtu.be/Lhx1j6FShA8

Can only be a handful of warm, pleasant weekends left in 2026. If that. Can't be wasting them.

Have I driven the Small Honda since the last time I cleaned it and put the winter cover on? No. Am I cleaning it again? Yes.

If you bring a Jag to #Rustival and you want the seemingly unknown-even-to-experts Jaguar CD collection I found in a charity shop (that may or may not be the correct discs who knows) be the first to flag me the fuck down and you can have it. #WeirdCarBS

Is there anything better than a small, square hatchback from the 80's with a fat red "TURBO" graphic on the side?

I had always believed that the happiest sight in the world was a filthy, panting Springer Spaniel that had just had the zoomies but I now believe it is a Frenchman in the outside lane of the autoroute at 7000RPM in his smashed up Clio.

Ribs 'N Beer, but without the ribs because that'd be too obvious. The chubby sausage was absolutely amazing.

A selection of chocolate boobies, waffles, a wall of beer and some scenery. Bruges is alright.

Went to a zoo. Didn't take any pictures of the animals because the zoo itself was arguably more interesting.

Sixty years of Star Trek and while everyone has their favourites from across the Trek universe and Captains, there's one piece of Picard wisdom in particular that sticks with me.

Why TF do any of your household appliances need to be connected to the internet. F*** off with your smart fridges & washing machines. They have ONE job.

Went to the pub. Had some beer. Accidentally booked flights to Japan again and hotels in Osaka and Tokyo. Failed to do anything I'd actually planned. Normal Sunday stuff.

B-1: Starting and Stopping 1. Accelerate away from the starting point and come to a complete stop within the goal area situated 1,000 meters away. You will fail the test if you exceed the goal area, or if you exceed the time limit. The test car is a Mazda Demio. The time limit is 36 seconds.
