Wow. How did you get the update?

We got £2k for our shitty S-max that was worth about a grand. Donated it to Ukraine where it's probably assisting the counter-invasion of Russia.

4+ minutes is quite the lead to give away to O'Connor.

Granny charging that way is shite. With a proper charge point you can plug in before bed and it's charged by the morning so no trailing over the pavement during the day.

Vuelta start line in a supermarket really is the most bonkers thing sport has done in a while.

Parking will be entertaining though as others have said. We probably manage to park outside our house 1 week in 4 at the moment.

How often will most people be recharging? There'll be some heavy use commuters, but most will only need charging every few weeks I would have thought.

Glad I am going to the first day at Lords, not any later.

Probs someone 'on here' from the football thread:

This. And refusing to tell the crowd what's going on adds to the misery.

Medals should transfer with him.

The new 'maybe we won't bother getting involved' var seems even worse. It's so shit.

I lol'd.

Nice to get the (Pl) season off to a traditional spawny utd last minute goal start.

I think it's one of their glues/grouts.

That's really bleak. Poor lad. Must have been really tough in Paris.

Not terribly generous odds for a third party to win the popular vote @ 50/1 considering it hasn't happened for 200 odd years and pretty much can't with the current processes.
Not that the odds for alternative choices for president are much better.

The top one is interesting - if slightly disingenuous at times.
90 years ago - I think we could expect some degradation.
Sarajevo - extenuating circumstances.
Ski jumps shot in summer, multiple angles of the same stadia etc.

But for eg kayaking and BMX that need something very specific built in a city/region that maybe doesn't have the sport at grass roots level it's tough. There needs to be more temporary structures and/or use of existing infrastructure (and I think there has been esp post Athens which was a shitshow financially).

Embarrassing:

From the Wolfpack to the T-Rex Pack💥

We’re beyond excited to race @lavuelta as 𝗧-𝗥𝗲𝘅 𝗤𝘂𝗶𝗰𝗸-𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽, sporting one of the raddest jerseys cycling has ever seen🤘

As Andy said, there is not a chance he'll step down. a) He thinks he's going to win and won't listen to anyone saying he won't and b) if he doesn't win, the support that has been put in place to foul up/delay the results will cast enough doubt (in some people's minds) that he will claim he has won and it's been stolen (again).
There won't be a landslide against him - it will be close. And close gives him room to play out the stolen election routine again, but with potentially more impact as they will have learnt from last time. And he'll be able to grift up on that for ever.

Very good.
I'd add that any non-individual event has to be mixed. Rowing 4s & 8s, Madison, 4x100 etc.

.

I'm taking the above as a complement despite not being addressed to me, having rowed stroke for a number of (very much) younger years.
Maybe there's a chance?

(No - there isnt.)

Yeah - but 6% reckon they could qualify for the 100m! Deluded.
