    BTW, check the video and tell me I'm wrong. I've long thought that Robert has large hands. Was he Pat Jennings in another life?

    I started a new job as a security guard last night. Before he left my boss told me I had to make sure I watched the office all night.


    I am on season 2 already but I don't know what it has to do with security.

    I saw David and Victoria Beckham earlier.David got on the horse and I said he's riding that horse like a professional
    She said I did not know he could do that. The horse goes a bit faster and I said to Victoria he's riding that horse like a professional. She said I did not know he could do that. The horse is going faster now and David comes off the saddle about to fall off and Victoria shouts Help Help my husband. With that the security guard comes out of Tesco and unplugged the machine

    When David Beckham played for England
    David said "I like them because they make my breath smell fresh"

    Sven replied "Tactics you thick c***"

    Hindu says, “I’ll take the barn, no worries”

    30 mins later , knock at the apartment door, it’s the Hindu “Sorry, I can’t stay in the barn there’s a cow in there”

    Muslim guy says “Ok I’ll take the barn”

    30 mins later , knock at the apartment door, it’s the Muslim, “Sorry, I can’t stay in the barn there’s a pig in there, I can not sleep with a filthy swine there”

    Scouser says “Ok, I’ll take the barn”

    30 mins later, there’s a knock at the apartment door ... it’s the cow & the pig.....

    Bollocks!
    This is why I don't TV.
    Just watched the first episode of Gentleman Jack, an adaptation of the diaries of Anne Lister, and it is excellent. Now I have binge watch the next two episodes. Thank goodness there's a gap of a day or so until the next one. I'll probably get withdrawal symptons too.

    OK, the real reason why I don't watch TV is because I can't stand formulaic sh*te. But this is most definitely not that.

    You may not know that a significant part of the reason why Trump and his Environmental Protection Agency [EPA] relaxed the rules on exhaust emissions from ICE vehicles, put in place by Obama, was that major automakers, with a stake in the USA, wrote and asked for it. Trump made it seem as though rolling the targets back would do nothing but help everyone, whereas anyone who follows this sort of thing knows that for the BS it is. This is aside from Dieselgate, which the EPA [when it still was one] caught VW Group and other offending automakers which their emissions pants down.

    Well, they've gone and done it now. 17 automakers, this time minus Fiat-Chrysler [FCA] who are in deep do-do regards emission standards in the USA, have signed a letter asking for the emission roll-backs to be stopped. California wasn't going to implement the roll-backs anyway, and their separate Air Resources Board [CARB], along with the other CARB States [13 other States which adopt CARB standards] challenged the EPA in court. You may have heard at the time that Trump was very angry with California, and suggested he might remove their 'waiver' to set their own rules. 'F****** well try' was Califonia's response to that.

    In addition to CARB States, there are Zero Emission States [ZEV] which are roughly in line. In all, 16 States, plus the federal District of Columbia, filed the suit. New Jersey, a ZEV State, did not sign the suit.
    Why did FCA not sign the automakers' letter? Upto now, FCA's American business model has been going pretty much all-in to big ICE vehicles, like Jeep, where they make sizeable profits. They sell a single compliance Fiat 500E in CARB and ZEV States. In Europe, Fiat have zero electrical content. Hence the reason why they are going to pay Tesla €2bn in order to purchase 'emissions' credits. This allows the FCA fleet to remain 'dirty' while appearing to be cleaner. This also goes some way to explaining why Fiat wanted to merge with Renault, who have very good zero emission credentials among the traditional automakers. That merger deal is said to be dead now, although maybe not...
    Why is this so concentrated on the USA? Because of California based Tesla. The one company that is giving every ICE vehicle maker the sh*ts. Their cars are taking sizeable chunks out of the others sales in the USA, and the other automakers look ordinary at best and bad as normal for it. ICE sales are dropping overall. So much so that the wind of change is running through them.
    Peculiarly, China, who make more EVs than anyone else, by miles, are not seen to be significant, yet they are planning to invade the USA market. And Europe eventually. And they're not **** cars either. From what I've seen, I wouldn't say no for the right price.

    Just wanted to share my first holiday beer with you all. Sadly my favourite local bar has gone over to the dark side and is now selling Estrella and not Mahou.
    Still it was cold and hit the right spot. Cheers.

    No idea <laugh>
    I guess that they picked up the glasses cheaply as they have always used them, despite not selling the stuff.
