On the subject of fucking up the environment, this photo annoyed me even more than the beach littering:

I misguidedley thought that an 'Admin' would know better than to not only damage a barley crop, but then post up a picture of how cool they think it looks.

The stupidity of most people never ceases to amaze me. Wonder how many idiots are going to destroy crops now.

Couldn't agree more. Recently had a moron hoot at me in busy traffic and shout "You got a defective tyre mate. Wanna get that sorted". This put the wind up me so I went out of my way to get to a safe stopping place to take a look. All tyres fine, full tread, inflated correctly. Had another one recently actually overtake me into the path of oncoming traffic as I was waiting to pull out of a junction, shouting "Ya wanna wake up a bit pal". I despair of people and the Outer Hebrides become ever more appealing.

He obviously thinks it is funny. What an embarrassingly child like man.

Double standards as well, from someone who puts their qualifications in their Facebook user name:

TBH I'd wonder just how hot parts of the engine bay and undercarriage are - as the (insert crop here) will spring back and if dry enough it'll all go up I'd have thought..... No?

Fires in grain fields are quite common and he might as well have set fire to the whole field doing that.

I was filling up a mini-bus at the petrol station the other morning & watched a bloke in a Mercedes pumping up all of his tyres. It was a two door coupey thing & the tyres were the rubber bands you'd expect. "Blimey" I cheerfully exclaimed, "What profile are your tyres?" (They don't call me Billy Banter for nothing). "They're low profile" he grunted,  "Why do you ask?"

Hmmmm, not quite the petrol head I was expecting then.

I'd never considered this before, but actually Boris and Clarkson are similar in many ways.

That is entirely possible. So even if it had been entertaining for us in other countries, it probably wouldn't have gone well.

I'm not sure if Boris had a regular column or it was just  a  guest column in a car magazine in the mid to late 90s, but I  remember the one I read was all about Boris' adventures and mishaps with his Alfa GTV6.  He also said something along the lines of not being a petrol head  if you've never owned an Alfa years before Clarkson.

 WagonR [...] when I got out it started all right, but cut off and refused to start again. So I had to leave it there overnight. Now I have to arrange some transportation for the ton of metal to get it to a garage, and I'll be without a functioning car for about a week for the first time in almost 20 years.

Expand  

Update: it set me back 700 RON (that's about 120 pounds, or to put it in perspective a bit more than  one sixth of the medium monthly wage over here). 200 transport for two miles, 200 for work and 300 for the pump. Which I could have bought for half, but that garage doesn't work with parts provided by the customers. Another bussiness for my "avoid" folder.

You have not met Liz Truss then?

She has not always been  a Conservative.

If she wins this could get entraining.
