Hackers steal details of nearly 1,000 drivers after RingGo parking app-owner is hit by cyber attack - with data including names, mobile numbers, addresses, emails and parts of credit card numbers all swiped (msn.com)

you certainly would ..   and double the fine after a fortnight

Some rite good answers to Blackpool tower fire ....

We didn't start the fire

It was orange netting that the rain's been wetting

We didn't start the fire

But the wind has caught it, so the press report it

I believe some of the local rags sent reporters to the scene.

FFS....

so having saw the news thing but not having heard the way she says it

its microwahvay innit?

not like she needs the publicity is it?

My 14 year old niece loves it when I call it the microwaaavay. Nigella was naming it thus, at least one year ago.

On the subject of pronunciation, football commentators and foreign players names can be both annoying and amusing.

The most obvious one is Jesus. Can’t pronounce it “JEE-ZUS” like we all do. Some try to be correct in Spanish ( or Portuguese) and try “HAY-SUSS” or “HAY-ZEUS”, others a hybrid version “JAY-ZEUS “. Since when was Jesus Spanish anyway? Any Hebrew scholars want to give us a definitive pronunciation?

I can just imagine Arsenal players giving Gabriel Jesus a bollocking  for a bad miss or whatever, “Jesus Christ HAY-ZEUS! WTF was that?”

I suppose it’s marginally better than the 70s when they didn’t even bother about foreign pronunciation at all. I remember Brian Clough referring to Johan Cruyff as Joanne Crufts during the 1974 World Cup .

Just spotted this for sale on Facebook 

Not sure how aerodynamic it is though and I'm pretty sure those tits would fall out once you jump out of the plane

I am not normally given to bragging. However, I have enough money not to have to work the rest of the year.

My grumpy, grump on the Grumpy Thread yesterday about the non-delivery of a coil pack appears to have been ungrumped thanks to Parts in Motion - fingers crossed now that the Postie does not break down. Should be a fun* afternoon in the rain fitting the thing....

Spotted CND out in the rain taking photos of abandoned car, but with the headlights on.

By jove he's cracked it! Nobody has been interested in the three months it's been for sale because they was worried the headlights don't work! Nothing to do with its a barried piece of shit 3k over priced.

Maybe I should help* him by duplicating his advert with offers over £500 for cash tonight. That should get his phone ringing.

Bang en olufsen ftw

Oh wait

For the first timee in my life as I recall I worked out the 330 thirst over the Xmas Belgo Germany and back race route. Given I absolutely nail it on the Autobahn sections and never really hang about on any major routes - I was actually quite pleased with 32mpg overall..... Really was expecting a lot worse. 

Car behaved beautifully, ran like a switch watch, whizzed past the litter of broken down moderns along the way and sat in 2.5hrs of border crossing queues without a hiccup. 

I'll treat it to a full service and valet ASAP. 

[Back_For_More]

For some reason I forgot the pre-Xmas grin on my parts collecting travels...... Haring out of Stourbridge to get back - I had occasion to slam on the brakes and deftly swing into a layby that was half occupied by a baby coach and blue mazda estate with a reprobate attmempting to fix washer jets.... Our very own @puddlethumper spotted out in the wild.

Looked in fine fettle. 

Mazda had been in the wars - flying debris damaging the rear tip edge of the bonnet sadly.

Didnt realize top gear had already invented the Welsh speedometer 😅

In a moment of genius I have ordered tomorrows Indian takeaway tonight, it's always that busy on NYE that it's not that good or takes forever to arrive  so this can now mature overnight in the fridge, as you all know it's nicer the next day anyway

Got to drive this awesome Land Rover 88 the other day, off road for the first time too. I was very honoured to be trusted with her. 200tdi conversion, running a straight piped exhaust. Just a beautiful machine. I think I'm in love.

just with the Land Rover of course, not the owner 😜
