richardmorris Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Years since it’s been on TV. But still......... kathellett 10m ago 12 Bojowacky ’Twas brexit, and the slithy Tories Did fib and fimble on the stage: All mimsy were the Goves and Rories, And the mome Raab’s outrage. “Beware the Bojowack, my son! The jaws that yack, the flaws it vaunts! Beware the Javjav bird, and shun The faragious Maw‘n’pints He took his 2nd Ref in hand; Long time the max fac advocate he sought— So rested he by the Trumptrump tree And read the Electoral Commissioner’s Report (what it should have said). And, as he finished the final words, The Bojowack, with unkempt hair, Came burbling Latin and polishing turds, And promised tax cuts for a dare! One, two! One, two! The Referendum struck! The votes were cast: Remain and WAB drew! “Fuck business” was said, but ‘no deal’ was dead. The ERG were now totally through. “And hast thou slain the Bojowack? Come to my arms, my beamish boy! The backstop is safe! And the GFA!” He chortled in his joy. ’Twas brexit, but the slithy tories Had imploded under their Europe Waterloo: All that remained were fairy stories, And a GE where we all hoped sanity could prevail and we could continue to live in peace with the EU. privatewire and myglaren 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strangeangel Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Apparently it's Clean Air Day today, so went a post by our esteemed* Chief Exec on the council intranet anyway. I celebrated it by driving my 31 year old diesel Citroen to work, congratulating it for surviving (almost) three times the average life of a car. As we clattered along in the early morning sunshine, I wondered about the volume of greenhouse gases saved in not making those extra two cars that haven't been needed to replace it. myglaren, danthecapriman, adw1977 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just stop looking at the news. Literally zero you can do about it all and getting annoyed makes zero difference to any outcome. So no point even knowing about it all.

myglaren Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Thought so. It is a scrapyard - I have bought a couple of bits for my C5 from there but he is mainly Vauxhall. I used to frequent the place a couple of units down, K Engineering, for various fasteners. There's a place in the corner that had three huge jet engines that they took a couple of years cutting up - apparently one of few with a plasma cutter licence to do that. They looked ex-RAF. I used to work just over the railway line, near the bridge on what was Station Lane Industrial Estate. gm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aston Martin Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 The M18 was closed for about 20 mins and I'm in the second lane. We get moving and the first lane isn't moving. There's a Transit with half a mile of nothing infront... Guy behind the wheel sparked out. I didn't have the heart to beep him.... Mainly because he would have driven into me. myglaren, Eddie Honda and stonedagain 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
