Apart from giving SOG the opportuntiy to jizz over his keyboard every few hours, it must be the most pointless thread ever.

I simply cannot understand how Drury is lead commentator on Sky, he is fucking awful. Every goal bound chance he shouts “and (insert name)”, drives me mental.

Well it keeps the Reform thread going I suppose.

I don't know. What I do know is that sadoldgit is indeed a sad old git.

Is does beg the question 'who wears the trousers in the trousers household?'

It's the same as BLM. Very few can disagree that 'black lives matter', but the BLM movement is far more than that.

Many companies offer a salary sacrifice EV scheme, our company does the Octopus one, quite a few people here have used it. Before a long trip I always charge to 100%, nothing wrong with doing that on the odd occasion. Strangely, Polestar recommend a maximum (regular) charge of 90% rather than 80% like most other manufacturers.

Added to the fact that they're a dream to drive, especially if you have the 'one pedal drive' IMO (not all do). Public charging is expensive but often you only need to top it up by a small amount to get you home, with fast charging this can take just a few minutes.

I worked out that my energy costs would be a third of my fuel costs. If it’s a company car then BIK savings are massive. I’m lucky in that I can charge at work. I saved about £350 per month in total changing to a Polestar 2 from a Mazda 6 three years ago.

I had a good look into solar a couple of years ago and it looked like it would be well over a decade before it paid for itself, and at my age 61, I wasn’t sure it was worth it. Also, the practicalities of the cabling, battery storage etc is complicated as I have a detached garage. A shame because I’m quite keen on it and both the wife and I have EV’s.

Agreed. My daughter, who is 27 is only now receiving a decent wage as she is now a qualified solicitor. Up until six months ago it was only a little above the minimum wage. No complaints, this is the career she chose, the real (monetary) benefits come further down the line, as it does for Doctors.

Resident Doctors going on strike again this week.😞

I’m not sure who Iran will play up front, they keep losing important players.

Especially in a hot Summer when the flies get in them, fucking horrible

I don’t disagree, this right wing Israeli government has won few friends. The point I was making is that more people would side with Israel than Iran, IMO.

Obviously

I think not.

The Islamic regime of Iran will be pleased it has so much support in the UK

Haven’t you got some……erm…….farming to do ? 😳

Great, see Whelks city breaks thread

Really enjoying Seville, would certainly recommend it especially this time of year. Not sure if we’ve just been lucky with the weather but glorious blue skies, warm but not too hot. Took the train to Cordoba for a day trip which was also very nice.

Apologies for the tease. I think they were called ‘Rosco Solera’. We’re staying in Seville, would certainly recommend visiting this time of year, weather is glorious but not too hot.

Was in Cordoba today and went to a tiny bakery and bought a selection of different cakes. The owner kindly gave us a small cake made with olive oil and wine, absolutely bloody delicious and unlike anything I’ve tasted before, has to be my new number 1.

It’s called a sense of humour, it bothers me not one jot.

Remember a good cake needs to be ‘moist’ (might need to start a thread on favourite words)
