Hear that noise? That’s the sound of organized criminal smuggling gangs celebrating being given their new market.

Would that be the antiquated new digital system to stop trains? Or the antiquated leaves on the line? Or the antiquated steep incline at the location of the crash? Maybe we’ll wait for the RAIB investigation report rather than your wild guess.

There’s something wrong with that list. It doesn’t contain the phrase “Egg Banjo” 🙂

And that, despite what the ‘merkins might tell you, is essential for a sandwich. There’s no such thing as an open sandwich. That’s just stuff on a bit of bread.

The UK government set a target for numbers of smart meters to be installed. It didn’t say that they needed to be working as smart meters. Nobody should be surprised by this.

Telecoms engineer. The management. Forty-three years, two months and nineteen days. 😀

I’m sure people in Gaza will be absolutely thrilled 🙄

We should be fine, after all since Brexit we’ve plenty of happy contented British fish, right?

Jonny Ball. On top of a Transit Minibus.

I ferried Portillo across a river for one of his shows - and was briefly featured as a result. He was an arrogant git.

Do you still regret the missed opportunity? :-)

I’m not surprised, it should of course be CIIIR ;-P

It’s historic. If you’d ever driven a Mk1 Ford Escort with 1289cc and a 3 speed slush-box automatic you’d understand.

Of course modern automatics are completely different but the preference for manual transmission is a hangover from those times.

That noise you can hear in the background is organised crime celebrating. Again.

There’s a thing called leasehold whereby you own the building and lease the land usually for 99 years after which it returns to the freeholder. It’s one of the reasons that the US embassy in London moved from Mayfair to Nine Elms. It was the only US embassy in the world that the US government didn’t own, the freehold belongs to the Grosvenor family (i.e. Lord Grosvenor). When the US tried to buy the freehold the Grosvenor family refused but agreed to a 999 year lease in exchange for the return of 12000 acres of Florida that was confiscated from them after the Revolutionary War - yes, they’ve been landowners for a very long time! I think the US made sure to buy the freehold of the new site at Nine Elms (they sold the remainder of the 999 year lease in Mayfair for an undisclosed sum) 😀

Methuselah

Excuse me but the correct SI units for length and area are double-decker buses and Waleses respectively ☺️

“Ofcom also states that sites must not provide information about or links to Virtual Private Network (VPN) providers.” That’s every other YouTuber fucked then.

I went to one in Bonn but as it was so long ago that Bonn was still the capital of West Germany I don’t remember it will enough to say how it compares to Birmingham, Manchester, Edinburgh etc. Also went to Cologne cathedral and there was some b*****d in a kilt standing outside playing the bagpipes
