Tugged the big Ifor trailer full of motorcycles way out west on my mates mobile meth lab for bank hols shits and giggles. It’s like motoring in your front room. Shotgun became wheel man on way home as enduro/party antics took effect. I’ve driven an artic and a load of 7 an half tonners though none handled like a boat and had a wacking great v8. Left hook added to the interest. Great fun 🤩

Ah yes...

Brezhnev will be spinning in his mausoleum...

Brezhnev was the first foreign state funeral I ever watched on the telly, and he definitely wasn't accorded the honour of a mausoleum.

Indeed, apparently not:

Maybe if his Eleventh Five Year Plan hadn't stalled at 4% economic growth, rather than the projected 5%, then the Politburo might have at least permitted the sculptor to finish his statue to below his nipples.

The only politician who had bigger eyebrows than Brezhnev was Denis Healey.....

Brilliant! I've ordered one for my dad to wear when he drives his Mustang. I won't tell him...

In addition, Stalin's corpse squatted there between 1953 and 1961...

To which end, the winner of the JDM meet "show and shine" on Monday was a BMW that was clearly not JDM and hadn't actually been cleaned 🤣

After seeing these signs near Aldwych, I was left wondering where I could claim my free Assange and whether this offer was only whilst stocks last.

Do you have any other examples of misunderstood signs or banners?

Some free offers aren’t worth the trouble. Where is he now anyway, still in Ecuador on Thames?

Best I had was a set of classic car medallions in a board. Must have that somewhere still. Dad had some glass flutes too later. All 1980s.

More to the point why has the sculptor done Lord Melvyn Barg instead of the baggy-eyed fatso Brezhnev?

Best place for him; at least he's not being harassed by the likes of Jemima Goldsmith-Khan and Pamela Anderson in there.

Probably 'cos the sculptor has done it to a romantic ideal rather than as a true depiction of the idiosyncratic facial qualities of Brezhnev.

I have been working on the isle of Wight (shite?) today and got back to Southampton at 18.30 feeling too tired/lazy to drive back home to Kent so have bedded down for the night in a cheap Mercure hotel right next door to a Wetherspoons in the high street.

Wetherspoons generally get the piss ripped out of them but Cod an chips with a pint of brew dog IPA for £6.35 all ordered from the comfort of my table via their app really is quite impressive.

And its official beer tastes better when you pay for it with your company credit card.

And for even more added win i am off to the New Forest in the morning to visit a couple of fast fits and it just so happens a chap in Lymington has a set of leather KA seats for sale for not much money that would fit in Boris the Morris nicely so it would be rude not to kill two birds with one stone an all that.

While I was doing some bodging, a wild Xantia V6 appeared and parked up to say hello.

Very nice chap who owns it. He recommissioned it, changed a strut top, sorted a plethora of leaks and so on.

He even gifted me one of these!

He had two in the boot! This'll be rather handy. Very, very kind of him.
