EyesWeldedShut Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Not funny - more ironic. Sat up till midnight last night and the youngsters wanted 'the bongs' so we had to suffer BBC1 - Lo! And Behold! Lord Mayor of London Presents.... Fifteen minutes of fuck off fireworks and drones and three hundred tunes cut into ten second soundbites.* As I sat and watched the vast clouds of gunpowder smoke wafting off along the Thames, a small smile twitched the corner of my lips as I realised this is all slap bang in the middle of the ULEZ/LEZ *OK so 300 x 10 seconds does not equal 15 minutes but dilligaf? 108 and DSdriver 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myglaren Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Having seen the news of the earthquake and plane crash in Japan, I asked my son if the girls were OK (I have two Japanese granddaughters). (It's complicated). He said they were all OK and that James was too. Asked who James might be. It was Hanida (airport) that autocorrect had mangled. Thought I had a grandson I had never heard of.

reb Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 A calligraphy artist I follow on social media has opened their new years commissions, their smallest/simplest option just squeaks in under the budget I have left after buying a bunch of video production stuff. I decided that it was a good time to support them and get a present for my mum too. When she found out it was for my mum she offered to do the next size up, and add an embellished border, for the same price! Once I'm less skint I'll definitely be buying from them again! Their "stock" art is mostly rude words in ludicrously fancy script, so if anyone is in the market for such a thing let me know and I'll send you a link to their store! rainagain, GrumpiusMaximus, privatewire and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remspoor Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 I wish I was in The Netherlands at the moment. Because the flood defences are working again. It is not often the 100 year old steam pumps can be seen in action. https://nos.nl/video/2503563-stoomgemaal-lemmer-is-ruim-100-jaar-oud-maar-nog-hard-nodig-tegen-hoogwater The pumps still use stream. However, they now use bio-diesel to produce the steam because coal is a kills. @hairnet If you still in the country see if you can visit.

Bren Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 I got £2.8k for my lovely 545. I now find myself looking at cars with bent eight engines. People selling similar cars to my e60 - but want £4.5 - 6.5k. Sorry but you will be stuck with them forever. I actually think big pez engine are on a downward spiral - possibly permanent. I will wait a bit and see what happens - I would have another BMW V8.

artdjones Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 On 31/12/2023 at 14:11, DSdriver said: I will be giving Belgium the swerve on my next visit to Germany, the queues on the Belgian roads were horrible. Swiss road surfaces are ace, why can't the A20/M20 up from Dover be like that, its almost as if they don't want to encourage foreign visitors or for Brits to go abroad. Living in Ireland for the past three decades means I have only ever used the Dover-Calais route about 3 times. However, each time I've used it, on the return journey there's been a very long and badly signposted diversion off the M20 that peters out after a few miles. Meaning me having to find my way back to the M25/M4 by the seat of my pants. Last time there was a diversion on the M4 as well, where any signposting petered out after a couple of miles, leaving us in darkness miles from anywhere somewhere near Membury. That was because a milk tanker had overturned about 12 hours before and it had taken that long to clear up the mess. In the end I just used signposts to head towards Box, then Bristol, then up the M32. The UK appears to have decided to stop being a serious country any more.

We still joke about Belgium - them main autoroute (E40?) down to Brussels from Calais/Ostend used to be so rutted in lane 1 by the big HGVs that our slightly narrower tracked, smol HGV would be continually hooking a sidewall on one track or the other and veering off in that direction. Solutions were (1) get right hand wheel onto hard shoulder [where there was one] (2) hog lane 2 at risk of being plowed under by a 200 km/h Romanian artic (3) (easiest) just go via Liege - longer, slower but easier Rust Collector 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's modern We were W/SW London or Devon way. If you picked the day/time well you could get in as far as the S. Circular and cut around to Chiswick Bridge fairly easily. Sundays used to be a breeze. Not too sure when it started being less of a PITA just to go around the M25 - mid 1990s? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too sure when it started being less of a PITA just to go around the M25 - mid 1990s? The original Dartford tunnel was opened in 1963 and would have probably been 20 years earlier if not for the war. Not much use for going north until the M25 connected it to the M11. The M25 was completed in 1986, so from then on it would have been the quickest way round. I remember going from Kent to Devon before the SW section was open and going from where the M23 starts to the M4 via Leatherhead and Virginia Water. Right pain, so on the way back I went through central London including around Trafalgar Square and it didn’t take any longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
