5 years ago almost to the day this happened.

Green Day publish part of their concert in which they do not participate. It is a song sung by a singer who died 26 years before this event. What a legacy Mercury left.

There's a behind the scenes video of queen filming these are the days of our lives , Freddie must've been in so much pain but still the showman , it's very sad to watch.

One of my biggest regrets is never seeing  queen live 

 

Sometimes I get the feelin'
I was back in the old days long ago
When we were kids when we were young
Things seemed so perfect - you know
The days were endless we were crazy we were young
The sun was always shinin'
We just lived for fun
Sometimes it seems like lately
I just don't know
The rest of my life's been a show

I must have watched that video 20 times over the years.  Always cheers me up.  Fantastic.

Just registered the SLK on the work system, I imagine someone with their eyes on stalks looking at the CO2 emissions in a world where everyone is getting hybrids and electric. PA! 

I already get regular computerised warnings about my car being over 5years old and more than 90k miles, telling me I need to to address these action points..  not going to happen anytime soon 😂

I've just done mine, I'm sure I'm going to get a shitty email from my prius driving lentil munching manager this week about my 2.7L polluting diesel I've just added.

Almost a shame Bumrah didn't get to kick off again.  I must admit I was cheering that on at the time.  Looks set up for a bit of fun this afternoon, enjoy!

I didn't know whether to put this here or in Grump, but I decided here...

Just been on FB and someone has posted up a wall of boxed Vanguards cars at a fiver each plus post, so I sent him a message with some requests.  MrsR looks over from her chair while I'm typing and asks what I'm doing; cue a rant about me having too many already.  Meanwhile I detect an increasingly urgent signal that I should go to the loo.

Well I wasn't quick enough typing, was I?  Just a spot on my trousers (clean on today) and undies (yesterday's) but I've had to put them in the machine and nip upstairs for some clean ones.  I can almost feel her trying not to laugh.

Worse things happen, I guess.

What exactly gives them the right to an opinion on their employees' cars? I must be missing something here, that seems ludicrous!

You need something old and American, pre-smog.

Engine capacity: 7210

CO2 emissions: yes

Sad thing is my Pontiac definitely qualifies for CO2: yes, it doesn't smoke unless you've been on a fast run and back off the throttle, where it goes a bit blue... But you can definitely smell it when it's running.

A day to celebrate treason with fireworks and barbeque.

Don't know why but it looks like you've been photoshopped into this picture...
