    A few years ago Wayne Rooney took a dump on the England dressing room floor. A discusted Sven said who's sh*t on the floor? Heskey said me boss but I'm alright in the air.

    Just reminded me of an ancient dressing room joke from way back in my yoot in the 1970s.

    Bill Shankly (famous manager of the Scousers) was taking a training session and noticed that a couple of players were missing, so he went to the changing room but found that the door was locked. He then knocked on the door loudly and enquired " are you drinking in there" and then got the reply from Ray Clemence, "no, i'm ****ing *Emlyn"


    * Hemmerling was a popular non alcoholic beer with the catchphrase "are you drinking....no, i'm Hemmerling" and Emlyn Hughes was the Liverpool captain of the day.

    I realise that you should never explain a joke, but only the old bastards on here had a remote chance of getting it!...<laugh>

    Ridiculously lenient sentences...

    This quote from the article says it all about how the establishment protects hunts and hunters

    "A fifth defendant, Nathan Parry, 40, also Brynarw estate, was cleared of all charges.

    Mr Parry took foxes to kennels but was found not guilty after the judge accepted he believed they would be relocated in the wild"

    In what alternative universe does the judge live in if he thinks a ****ing hunt kennels are the right people to deal with a couple of fox cubs.
    Fox hunting is despicable, as are fox hunters and I will never change my views on this. I used to Sab the Mendip hunt, and I've never met a hunter I didn't want to knock off their horse and give a good kicking to.
    Scum.

    Absolutely. I note the case was also stalled for two years due to (untrue) allegations made against one of the police involved by hunt associated members, an attempt to smear him apparently.

    These people just have a bit of what makes us human missing I guess.

    Noting those lenient sentences given to those vile people for their cruelty to protected animals, you do realise that if any of the blue side of the political sphere get back in after a General Election, they'll have a bill for the return of fox hunting readied like a shot. So think on...

    Mazda. The car company, and general stickler for ICEs, has finally thrown in the towel and will bring out an all-electric car in 2020:
    please log in to view this image

    Not a bad first effort, if looks are all to go by. This is in the face of the bleeding obvious, which in 2017, Mazda bosses didn't quite see.
    Mazda executive Robert Davis said back then, "the impending death of the internal combustion engine is overrated,” and also said Mazda was "against [electric] compliance cars." So, although the automaker doesn’t exactly seem ecstatic about a move toward electric — to say the least — it’s clear that they have no choice but to accept the reality of the situation. Because pretty much every other carmaker that wishes to stay in business has, including just recently, Toyota.

    They all laughed at Tesla. Then they got pissed off with Tesla. Then they starting making noises about how much they admired Tesla. Finally they are caving. Basically, the caving dominoes have fallen like this: Tesla > Nissan/Renault > GM > KIa/Hyundai > Daimler > BMW > VW Group > The Rest. Significantly at the moment, Ford and Fiat/Chrysler are still winging it, although they have partnerships kicking around. They could easily go to the wall, [to be bought up cheaply or merged with] and I'm not kidding.
    They all had little research projects that they brought came to production and they sold a few compliance cars, or they just kept them as experiments. Excluding Tesla, cause they massively distort the figures, the ramp towards all-electric started this year. The train has definitely pulled out of the station.

    I wonder how Dyson will do when they launch in this market?

    If they get it right, they could suck the life out of the market and hoover up all the opposition.

    I would love to go on a hunt with them and let the hounds have a good sniff around them. I would then give them a 15 min head start and once the hounds have caught them and start ripping them to shreds ask them if they still think its fair? I wonder what their answer would be?

    Their answer would be yes. You can’t tell them.

    I was watching a film one day I can't remember what it was. The narrator at the beginning said the biggest parasite on earth is man I can't argue with that.

    Seriously, I think Dyson might cause a few surprises. Their knowledge of advanced electric motors is ahead of most. Plus, they acquired an advanced solid-state battery research company, called Sakti3, about four years ago. But the problem is making the car itself. Even several of the traditional carmakers with the history are having big problems with that. Odd, when you consider that they are far simpler, and they don't have to make room for a tonne of hot metal, water and potentially explosive liquid somewhere about the car.

    just spent the weekend in Bratislava (Slovakia). Definitely worth a visit. I asked what the best local beer was. The Czech ones, was the reply from the Slovak barman. All was well til I hit the Hungary / Serbia border on the way home. Only 20 cars in the queue, happy with that. 2 hours later in the baking sun and only 2 cars in front. Then 10 bikers drove past all the cars and the border guards waved them in front of me. I've learnt a few more Serbian swear words from my wife. Of course once you've passed the Hungarian guards you have to pass the Serbian guards. This took about 5 minutes. Guard says "you are John?" yes. Where are you going? home. I live in Serbia. Why? comedians everywhere!
