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.

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

 

Bet he’s got a bronze swimming certificate the wanker.

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.

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.

You've had a pretty boring life when the most naughty thing you've done is runing through a wheat field.

And I have no idea who this is.

Oh dear. I don't want to get into politics, but I think Jeremey Clarkson should be given a try. Can't get any worse.

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.

He was consistent..

 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.

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.

[GrumpiusMaximus]

A true pantheon of oratory.

[barefoot]

I'm editing the next couple of issues of the best-selling magazine, 'VW Bus T4& 5+'

My grump? I've just had to write an article about a bus with a 'life sized' Bertie Bassett on the roof. You are aware that the chewy little fucker isn't real & therefore cannot possibly be life sized?

[Rust Collector]

Yeah, surely a life sized Bertie Bassett would just be a roof with nothing on it… or I guess it could be a picture of him at the size it is on the sweet wrapper. I mean for all we know, the picture on the bag could be a 1:1 scale drawing of him.

My question is why?? Does the owner feel that a mural of Bertie Bassett is the best way to express their personality*? Maybe I should put pictures of cans of lager and microwave meals on my roof.

[mitsisigma01]

Liz Truss was seen on a train with a colleague,,she was repeatedly putting her hand over her face saying "am I smiling , straight faced or sad" .......and it wasn't all that long ago either ..... Her colleague said she was far from normal..... Just what we need in a new leader then 🤨😳😟🙄😒😣😲😭😭😭

I'm currently stuck running cash only.... Can't access my online banking and card now says see bank. Gf also denied access to hers. 

I'm in UK - bank is in Belgium. 

I've worked in most Eastern block countries including some not so friendly and recently spent time in Ukraine too.... Gf works for a NGO promoting democracy and supporting activists in some of these countries. We're blacklisted for travel now in a few.... 

Apparently accounts flagged as potential money laundering so we're snookered.  Any funds for pro democracy groups are cash or preloaded card only - NEVER bank transfers. We don't know if EU side did it due to activity on our cards when we were there or its 'them' causing the grief. 

Grump is trying to sort it remotely - support my fucking testicle. Useless.  Going round in sodding circles..... Luckily family can help - but being greeted as Senior Escoban is starting to grate a little......
