Such utter sodding nonsense. Its this kind of shit and support from the right wing press that lets the Tory party blame labour for pretty much everything even after 13 years of them being in government. Its sickening.

They never ever take responsibility for their own failings, even when they say "I take full responsibility" they just don't.

Yeah, used mine a lot with my wife's car that a) had a dodgy battery for a bit and then didn't get driven a lot for periods at a time.

I girl I was at school with became a lapdancer and featured in a docu-series about a Sofisticats I think.

She was also on the front cover of the NotW in kiss an tell story with a hollywood actor.

My 4 yr old is obsessed with dinosaurs and the like, including ammonites.

Went to Charnmouth earlier in the year and managed to find a partial ammonite and a bivalve imprint in our first ever fossil hunt. Found a few more bits in Bracklesham bay also a couple of weeks ago, mostly Turritella.

Last year on Arran, we found a well known Chirotherium footprint

I've walked a lot of it, but not ridden it.

Yes, the route isn't well marked and a lot of it is under tree cover, so surprisingly there's lots of the route that doesn't have nice views.

Was in Kent for the weekend with the wife and kids, so we decided to do the Crab and Winkle way from Canterbury to Whitstable and then back again. I was towing the two little ones (4 yo and 2yo) in a trailer from my old MTB, wife on a hybrid (she's not really a cyclist so this route and duration was challenging for her).

7.5 miles each way on a mix of road, shared path, stony tracks and cycle path. Not too bad, some hilly bits, but took a damned site longer than the estimated time! Had a short time at the pebbly beach and chips from VC Jones (top chippy!).

Literally 10 mins into the ride, my chain snapped, so had to swap bikes with my wife and cycle back into Canterbury for a new chain. Managed to get a SRAM one with a quick link (didn't have a chain tool and the shop didn't sell them), so managed to get it on, but it was a bit too long, resulting in some gears slipping and dodgy shifting, but it was ok.

There was one particularly nice view back over the city which was lovely.

In Whitstable, there were a bunch of kids (probably 12 or 13 yo), one of them ran across the road and threw something into the trailer at my kids. Turns out he nicked is mates beanie and threw it into the trailer for a laugh. My wife had an epic go at them and the lad was suitably embarrassed in front of his mates.

And here ends the thread.

My chemistry teacher showed us how to make (although I'm not convinced it was) mustard gas.

Had someone try to brake check a load of us on Col du Balham on the way home from work once.

Pulled up in the bike box at some lights just after Clapham Common. There's a Boxster behind, menacingly revving his engine. Other cyclists warning that the driver had been acting like a dick for quite a while. Anyways, he somehow over takes and gets in front, then towards the bottom of the hill, he slams on the brakes for no reason and whole load of us on bikes had to take evasive action. It really could have resulted in carnage and all because cyclists were using the infrastructure that had been put in place for cyclists.

And of course, the Welsh Conservative assembly members voted FOR it, with only one of them voting against.

Thanks Both.

@snottyotter I really like that!

This is it in the almost finished state. Not painted anything since I was in school, but for some reason thought i'd give it a go!

This thread is making me want to take a trip to the Wing Yip over in Croydon...

I loved doing my boys room when we first moved to our house because I got to paint a big ocean wildlife themed mural over one entire wall. Spent my evenings doing it when everyone went to sleep, but yeah just a normal paint job is a sodding chore.

Sign deals to build electric cars and EV car batteries in the UK (bankrolled with tax payer money), then push back laws on phasing out ICE cars.

Fucking lunacy.

Fantastic Beasts and Where to find them: The Curse of Jumbly Gindrod.

Polls showing that 60+% want us to rejoin the EU let alone the Customs Union. We clearly need a better relationship with the EU, both politically (not just immigration) and economically and I think most can see that.

Not in Central London, but seen them near what was Croydon airport. Kestrels there too.

There's a wildlife pond near us with a fence around it to keep the dogs out.

Apparently some fucker keeps pulling the fence down after multiple reinstatements, because their dog likes to swim in there.

More of a general wildlife watcher and photographer, so have some Nikon Prostaff 3s that I bought whilst whale watching in Alaska, but they seem more than adequate for me when birdwatching.

I chose 0 traits

Game tells me graphic driver out of date.
Update drivers = green screen of death.
Roll back drivers = absolutely fine.

I find the menu system very confusing, Fallout was more intuitive.

We get a weekly food waste and cardboard collection with general and glass/plastic every other week. Garden waste an also be collected weekly.

Just about to start on Starfield, see you in a month.

RX 5700XT might take a hammering.

Never met him, but there was a chap in our outlook directory at an old place of work called Fuk Wing

Tories going big on claiming Labour will raise taxes and can't be trusted with the economy.

Meanwhile Tories have given us:

Biggest tax burden and cost of living crisis in 70 years.
Kwarteng/Truss dynamiting the economy
Brexit
Doubled National debt since 2010.
