Ford's Merseyside investment to secure 500 UK jobs - BBC News

Positive UK car factory news. But I thought JLR inherited Halewood, unless Ford got to keep part of it?

Ford got to keep the gearbox plant next door. 

Interesting comment : However, Ford said that it was not currently facing the kind of supply chain difficulties affecting some other UK businesses. Additional post-Brexit paperwork at ports, which has contributed to bottlenecks for some UK-based firms, has not been much of an obstacle for Ford as it has its own landing facilities at Dagenham, the firm said.

I suppose it's for the best he got the crashing out of the way at a nice low speed rather than coming off at 100+ if he managed to get to the first corner

The Gran Fury - the target market is in the name. Your grandparents drove this car. With the same engine my '66 has in, albeit with the complicated emissions nonsense.

Some mad robot dancing.

Crouchy has got some competition.

Erm, not quite... I've had a Gran Fury of that generation!

My left elbow has been giving me grief for nearly a year, when I rested it on a desk or something I got a stabbing pain like I was resting on a spike. I was sure there was a splinter or something but no amount of digging around could find it, but there was definitely a lump.  I'd have gone to the GP but obviously "the event" made that impractical.

Today I finally caved in, glugged a mouthful of gin and got my wife to properly dig at it with a needle and scalpel.

Much swearing and blood later:

Fucking knot wheels!

I kept getting a sharp stabbing pain in my heel every now and then. Really bad, but I’ve got osteoporosis in that ankle from a bike accident, so I assumed the time was finally upon me that the bone was becoming seriously damaged. Went to the doctor, physio etc. This went on for about 7/8 months.

It turned out to be a fucking nail in my boot. Just long enough to poke through at the right angle. Not even a difficult to spot nail either, the head was about 5mm in diameter! If I’d only thought to look earlier!

Managed to cook pancakes without burning down the house. So considering how bad my cooking skills are, this is a win.

Better luck next time.

Just seen the new Bond film. Was more excited at the glimpse of a mint Fiat Ritmo than all the product-placement Range Rovers, and the only Ferrari is a 308GT4, which is surely the shite of Fiorano. Love it.

This would make Greata's head explode

Woman walking in a bus lane gets a bloke a fine.

All because of her jumper. (Yes she does need more support at her age👀)

I saw this. I'm more than happy to print t-shirts out with random (or your most hated enemies) number plates on them.

This could actually turn into a hilarious prank.
