  • Yup, that's exactly what I was thinking of from 2018.

    Musk: "I'll build a submarine to save them, then everyone will love me even more!"
    Cave Rescue Expert: "That's not an especially practical solution given the situational needs of this resuce operation."
    Musk: "... er... well... pedo!"

  • Not with that attitude! Come on, believe in yourself, you can do it!

  • One of my closest friends is a nurse (now general practice but did years in hospital A&E) and she wore crocs all the time. Changed my response to them completely.

  • In the UK you can see what year most cars were bought based on the license plate. I absolutely give Tesla owners the benefit of the doubt if it was bought before this year - although Musk showed something of his true personality in 2018.

    But the other day I saw a dude driving a Tesla Y with a '25 plate and I absolutely judged him for buying a car fronted by an actual nazi.

  • Buwheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh, dunng. Ge-dunga-dunga-dunga. Nggggggggggghghghghghgghghghghghghghghghghghgh...!

  • I'm assuming that it'll target some property of Trump's that has recently had its insurance significantly bumped.

    Trump gets his excuse and the insurance payout and his rabid supporters get further evidence of his exceptionalism.

  • Must be a Bruges thing. I stayed in the Ibis last year and while it wasn't a complete horror story it was pretty awful with 1980s decor, stains on the walls, wires hanging out of the wall. I think they must be shuttering it or something because reception and breakfast were in the attached Novotel. I'd certainly never book an Ibis again.

  • A nice tall glass of raw ice, please.

  • As opposed to the American Boddle'a'Wardder?

  • Back in the day I participated in poll tax protests (fuck Thatcher) and later in some Reclaim the Streets protests.

    The poll tax ones were quite tense. What with that and the miners there was a lot of political anger at the time.

    The latter were much more fun and often had a chill family feel to them. Such a mix of people from families with small kids to crusties to clubbers with kick ass sound systems. Occasionally you’d see a couple of the “fuck a copper” brigade but they were mostly chill.

  • Just remembered another thing he taught me which should help with standing starts.

    Doing a hill start, you pop it into first gear with the clutch down while still on the hand brake.

    Give it some revs (not a huge amount, and how much exactly will come with practice) and slowly start to come off the clutch. What you’re looking at is the front of the bonnet. As you get to the biting point the bonnet of the car will lift slightly. At that point you should be able to take it off the hand brake without rolling back.

    Same thing if you need to do a standing reverse start on a slope, only this time you’re looking for the bonnet to dip a little.
