I saw that in Liverpool on the 27 March.

Couldn't decide if it was accidental, or an advertising gimmick. Hazards were still going.

Having pasta at 9am strikes me as strange but not unpleasant. Not my first choice of breakfast but I'd be fine with it. 

 

I guess there's a reason why he has pasta for breakfast, otherwise it wouldn't be relevant here

In some counties this is not an issue. Here in Spain they black up white men to be one of the Three kings (Epiphany)

There are also Conguitos.

The face is the same for white chocolate.

Yeah, right. Going for the delete button, when I spot it says Dear real name. Hmmmm. Copied the claim code, went direct to amazon's real site and it works. Get in!

Bit of working out who's survey it was, turned out to be mecca bingo

There used to be something called acting. You pretended to be someone you weren’t. Maybe you were white and portrayed someone who wasn’t , just the same as you pretended to be a doctor or policeman etc when you weren’t.

Now only black peoples can play black characters and increasingly anyone with a disability can’t be played by someone who doesn’t have that particular illness. OK fair enough but it had to work both ways and there’s too much shoehorning people into historical dramas  where they would never  have been.

Cue…call me a racist .

I do not think you understood my post. I said that the colour issue that some countries have  is not an issue.  The colour issue is not limited to the UK  either, there are other European counties with the same thinking.

Another year of fun to (hopefully) be had out of the LS400! Looks like I did around 1,250 miles between tests, a little more than I'd thought. Just sorted tax and should be using it for work tomorrow after I drop the Laurel in at the garage.

Enquired about 2 birds needing rescuing yesterday 

Off to see them tomorrow after work 🥰🥰 

It ticked some boxes, the house is so lonely and quiet without Phoenix and the outside cage will soon start to fall apart if I just ignore it another 6 months. Did (and do still) fancy a pair of white doves, but the advert above got Wafted my way and budgies were on the list! 

A pair was key as I did feel phoenix wasn't terribly happy on his own, and 2 females which is good as 2 males can fight as they age, and 1 of each will be eggs and babies and I don't want that. 

The lady at the service said if I like them tomorrow bring something to get them home in so I've taken that as a sign to reassemble the cage after sloshing a small bit of rust converter here and there right at the bottom

And realised I can fit 4 wheels from a scrap hoover base mega easily so it won't be such a massive wanker to drag out for cleaning (which I didn't do as often as I should...)

Something about that strikes me as odd, I've seen it countless times before posted under the guise of different police forces/traffic squads etc

This is a thing.

Yes. The driver would not be 'reported'. First off the whole shebang would be impounded and my hunch being so serious the driver arrested for a short time and changed with dangerous driving.

Looks a bit photoshopped/posed as the tow bar fixing to the truck looks odd, the back bumper appears coming off the Toyota etc.
