On the BBC news website this morning I was left perplexed by this headline for a bit:

There's a Chinese Doctor Who?

I then tried reading the rest of the headline and it made no sense to me. John Barrowman isn't Chinese either, so it can't be him getting his todger out again. So 'Dr Who' exposed what, whats a 'crisis dies'? Are the words missing........oh hang on. Its a normal doctor that exposed the Sars virus.

Keeping with the book theme.

This man has won the internet this evening with his comment that is wrong on so many levels 😂

There must be a joke about leaving a bag of sand there. But it may be too rich for some.

 

Oh and nice work.

Looking for the Peter Sellers version found this one - poor quality video but there's some real Autoshite in places plus a loverley* view of the Chiswick Flyover

Not sure whether that’s just moronic or a clever bit of marketing. ( makes you stop and look).

According to a survey done by ATS , 80% of drivers don’t know what  the “tree” symbol over some wavy lines on their dashboard means.

That’s a thermometer in water for anyone with brain cells in double figures!

Social media has people tweeting “wow, never knew that and what it means”.

How do such people earn a living or survive a week in the real world?

Lanchester has stolen all my time and money lately with the emergency repairs it needed, making the Princess wait longer for me to get the stuff to finish the brakes.  So long, in fact, I was sure the battery would be flat and I really ought to charge it to start it.  I needn't have worried.  Battery wasn't even registering as low and it started as if I'd only used the car yesterday, happily sat idling, all the electrical things work and aren't being stupid like they usually do when it's stood for a bit.  Proper motivational boost that, I'm looking forward to finishing the Lanchester jobs so I can turn my attention to the Princess and get it freshly MoT'd again.

Off to my first car meet since the pandemic began tomorrow too (all being well).  The Furious Driving coffee morning thing at Torque Moto.  It'll be nice to finally do something 'normal' again, it's well overdue.

Didn't know whether to post this in the grin or grumpy thread 

My son came home with 2 tickets to the theatre but his GF isn't well so free night out for us 

Fuck me, that's 2 hours of my life I'm not getting back 

An inspector calls, one of the most bizzare things I've ever watched, it was that bad I was thinking at least we'll be able to fuck off at the interval, no they've thought of that, they want you to stay to the end so there's no interval

Each to their own, I'm not a theatre/book person in the slightest but I quite enjoyed AIC for some reason, both as a performance and reading the book 🤔

I do agree, it's a bizarre storyline!

Stopped some theiving shite as she darted for the door at Aldi and the manager found me after and told me to pick some beer up as its on them as a thank you.  Free beer always tastes good!

I just didn't get it, it's been decades since I've been to the theatre to see a play 

In the 80s I went to London with my ex wife and some friends to see steaming, a play set in a steam Bath 

The opening scene went straight into it, the curtain went up and the leading member of the all female cast walked to the edge of the stage naked 

Total silence until the guy next to me whispered fuucckk meeee under his breath and I burst out laughing
