This is what a proper Land Rover looks like: There was an abundance of delightfully scruffy Landies at today's show for some reason. Much better than shiny restored showpieces.

willswitchengage Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Went to the fireworks in London last night... 10/10 event and tickets were only a tenner each. Organised very well, only minor additional queueing to get the train home. Think the biggest football game you've ever been to... on steroids. We arrived late and somehow accidentally bagged an excellent place to sit. There were millions of boats all queued up to watch behind us: Unsurprisingly though most other attendees were mainly interested in recording the event.

NorfolkNWeigh Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Although at least one of the dilapidated S1s had new glass all round and a completely waxed "patinated" chassis to complement its oxidising aluminium and barn find interior. Looking that scruffy wouldn't come cheap! Are you planning a Stony thread? Because even I managed to take a few half arsed pics, never seen it so busy. I'll put my random smudges here if you're not doing one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really was heaving with people and cars absolutely everywhere - early in the morning there seemed to be a lot of cars but fewer people, then at about 10am the entire population of MK seemed to wake up and descend on the show!

cobblers Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Years ago I used to feel obliged to go to pubs and new years eve parties etc etc. Now I'm older I don't even have to make excuses. This was my party, in a talbot in a field in the middle of nowhere. I kind of wanted to stay up and watch some fireworks off a hill or something, but I fell asleep at about 10:30. I think I outlasted the mrs and both dogs by at least two episodes of Bottom. brownnova, rainagain, Craig the Princess and 13 others 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rovorsche Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 The news always has an unintentionally funny item Sacked vegan brings landmark discrimination case https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-50969168 Mr Vegan says " Jordi Casamitjana says he was sacked by the League Against Cruel Sports after disclosing it invested pension funds in firms involved in animal testing. " The Hunt Saboteurs say " dismissed for gross misconduct. " He had some sort of issue with their pension fund and started whistleblowing , told management about it then set about pissing on everybody elses chips when the managers continued to ignore him. Julian Assange should use being vegan as a defense. This was the best bit for me Mr Casamitjana describes himself as an "ethical" vegan and campaigns to get his message to others. His beliefs affect much of his everyday life. He will, for instance, walk rather than take a bus to avoid accidental crashes with insects or birds. Wait until he finds out that wind farms kill birdlife and can no longer use anything electrically powered or manufactured using electricity.
