Sitting in the sun in the garden:

When there was a break in the almost continuous roar of traffic I could here the blackbird and smaller birds twittering and singing. Also my parrot in the magnolia tree going la-la-la-cough-cough-woof.

I studied Media at Sunderland uni (undergrad and Masters, bitches!!) in the late 90's/early 2000's and am currently in lockdown in NZ with an old housemate and coursemate, who's on holiday from the UK and having a rather extended stay.

 

One of the short films we made as coursework featured a couple of 'actors' who went on to headline act this most excellent film (which I STRESS I had nothing whatsoever to do with):

 

 

Should you have a spare 90 minutes (and frankly, who doesn't right now?), please enjoy this north eastern delight, which has freshly resurfaced on Youtube. Potentially one of the most confusing films you will ever see.

79 seconds was enough, did I miss any good bits ?

Only just found out what today is.

I’ve just had an email from the whisky exchange inviting me to preorder their latest offering from 1979. Somehow I think I’ll pass, given the price.

@djoptix is a top bloke - he just dropped off some Renner wheels for the Megane, gratis, to help get it back fighting fit! ?

...and my Saab rewarded my kindness by putting its MILF light on! Fuckit.

The POTUS wants to inject people with disinfectant to ward off the kung flu.

It's utter insanitary.

And try uv light. Perhaps his plan is to turn everyone orange like he is!

Better use this one from our local corner shop then, it has all the bases covered for just 3.99!

Took the dogs outside this morning and the 3 brightest objects in the sky are all in a line; 4 planets are all lined up.

Mars, Saturn and Jupiter. Pluto is there hiding behind Jupiter but you'd need a telescope to see it.

Plus, I'm really impressed with this phone. That's just holding the thing up and snapping a picture, camera held in hand.

I put in a search on ebay for CNC routers and this came out top, what a great selling strategy

Desktop Mill Router USB CNC - Milling Machine - Ming Condition. UK Based

Just what I want, a minging router!

and on another matter, would those who take Trump's advice and swallow or inject bleach be eligible for the Darwin Awards team prize?

This popped up on Facebook:

 

 

My local Leyland dealer!

 

Rudder Motor Cars, 130 Kinghorne St Nowra. It was still a Mazda dealer up until 2012, now it is an apartment block.

They were also the dealer that serviced my Jag from 1988 to their closure in 2012 (The Jag was serviced at the supplying dealer, Purnell Motors Arncliffe, prior to 1988).

 

It’s nice to see what it looked like back in the BL days as I have only ever seen it as a (not very) modern Mazda dealer and the only photos I have seen of it are from the BMC days. All I need now is a photo of it back in the 80s or 90s when my Jag frequented the forecourt.

I’ve found some more pictures of Rudder Motors. Enjoy.

Just looking through some pictures I'd taken on my phone , this one was a while back

I know stella is reassuringly expensive but I think this guy is taking it a bit far

He'll be pissed, very quickly.

Found myself watching a video of a guy driving around Pyongyang this morning, as you do, and was interested at some of the sights. A lot of Chinese cars I don’t recognise, but a B5 Passat, a Lexus GX570 and a Defender were interesting to see. So too was a DHL van right at the start, I wouldn’t have thought they’d operate in North Korea. 
 

Most interesting was this Discovery 3. Anyone keeping that running and maintained with what must be little access to parts deserves a medal 

 

Video here if anyone is interested:
