Can’t have been Mark Thatcher. He would have got lost on the way there.

Well it was just a Cortina really.

They just the scripts from Sorry!

Are they proud of how many they’ve made or is someone saying “how are we going to shift that lot?”

I once flew from Shannon to Manchester but you had to change planes at Dublin. The first leg was on an inbound overnight flight from America. It was awful , like walking into the aftermath of an all night party with everyone sleeping in chairs , snoring and farting. (Lots of farting on planes due to reduced pressure).
On top of that , as we took off , the cabin was filled with the smell of fuel and I was convinced we were going to crash. 
On the up side, on the leg to Manchester , I was sat a row in front of Alex Higgins. The bar service was brisk to say the least.

I really don’t think the Escort is there deliberately. Looks like they took it in a hurry and didn’t notice the background.

I’d love to park that next to some T5 twat , watch them put up their little pop up roof , and then see their faces when it does that.

Did the Old Trafford tour once, abd they told us they to have  Jaffa cakes at half time at Utd.( in the Ferguson days, maybe still do and other clubs do it too).
I tried it with my Under 11s having lost 8-0 the previous week. This time we lost 11-0, so they never got them again!
 
 
 
 

This could equally go in the grumpy thread.
Slight damage to car ( wife obviously has no idea how it happened ), so need a paint spray and therefore need colour name or code.
Torch batteries dead, so too dark to find tiny plate hidden somewhere on the car , so I try to Google it, via registration number.
First up a paint supplier. Fill in reg, up comes “we’ve got you colour”, without adding “but we’re not telling you so you have to buy from us” FRO!
Then I spot WBAC, saying they will tell me the colour if I tell them the reg. So I’m  thinking , that’s useful , thank you WBAC.
Fill in the box , press enter.
”Your car is red”. WTF , I know it’s red ffs, it’s sat outside my door , a big red thing, can’t miss it. I’m colour blind and can see it red! I want to know if it’s Volcano red, chilli red, or Brothel light red.
It’s red! Useless bastards!
 

Bird shit on my car today.” Big deal “ I hear you say “what’s unusual about that?”
Well I was parked for about 10 minutes and it looked like it had been through a car wash run by sea gulls. There would have been less if I’d parked at Whitby and spread my fish and chips out on the roof.

That’s a Hillman Hunter with a Maxi grille.

There used to be something called acting. You pretended to be someone you weren’t. Maybe you were white and portrayed someone who wasn’t , just the same as you pretended to be a doctor or policeman etc when you weren’t.
Now only black peoples can play black characters and increasingly anyone with a disability can’t be played by someone who doesn’t have that particular illness. OK fair enough but it had to work both ways and there’s too much shoehorning people into historical dramas  where they would never  have been.
Cue…call me a racist .
