Pffft, he was plagued with self doubt compared to Cecil Rhodes who went to Africa and said “this place is called Rhodesia now.”

BTCC races back in the day were fucking epic. The minis took the corners, the American muscle cars took the straights and the racing was glorious!

Here is a three-way battle between a Mini, a Ford Galaxie and a Jag for good measure!

Ooh, that’s about as good as you can get, using all the letters! Nice one!

Where would you like it to go? This is a safe space.

Where’s the flying helmet and celery option?

‘a’

Beat that for efficiency!

My wife’s allergic to pretty much everything, including pine needles, so we bought a high end artificial one years back. Looks like the real deal and doesn’t leave her in massive discomfort.

Whisky. Ideally a single malt. Double ideally an Islay single malt. Triple ideally a Port Ellen single malt.

Sadly, the Port Ellen distillery was closed in 1983 which means bottles go for a minimum of £1000 (probably more, it’s been a while since I last checked). The distillery was apparently reopened last year, but it’ll be years before we discover if the new expressions are as perfect as they used to be.

It’s a texture thing. Bits of the inside get nice and crispy.

I have Lodge cast-iron skillets, Le Creuset and Staub ceramic-coated cast-iron dutch ovens, Le Creuset stainless saucepans, and one non-stick frying pan (which I bought for my wife).

I use the skillets for pretty much everything that isn’t going to be simmered in tomato. Had them for years and they are non-stick. I happily fry eggs in them with no worries whatsoever.

National Bingo Bongo League? NBBL? It has a ring to it.

A full English with a pint of Guinness will set you straight for the day.

I upvote posts or comments that start with an odd letter, so A, C, E, G, etc. and downvote any that start with an even letter.

Eventually I will shape the world to my will!

The doctor who saw me at A&E was pretty rude about 111 and said they pretty much just send everyone his way regardless of what’s wrong with them.

I’ve spent the last few days reenacting the Chicago Bears @ Philadelphia Eagles game. So, pretty new, I think?

I see your Irish Rover and raise you A rainy night in Soho with Nick Cave.

Yeah, Lemmy wasn’t acting. He was living it.

Axl Rose is…the reason the “musician trashes hotel room” stereotype exists.

Heh. Sweet summer child.

Keith Richards and the Rolling Stones, Keith Moon and the Who, and Led Zeppelin would all like a word.

I saw Shane MacGowan (and the Popes) at some festival or other. The dude was clearly shit-faced, hardly able to stand, and slurring like crazy as he babbled at the crowd. But, once the music kicked in, he sang like he always sings. I guess that probably means he’s always shit-faced.

It’s beyond the environment. It’s not in an environment. It’s been towed beyond the environment.
