Gaspode

Derby took a chance on him when he was a youngster as he failed a medical due to bone density issue  and other clubs immediately withdrew interest. They then supported him through his altercation in Dublin scenario. He rewarded Derby by saying he couldn't wait for Burnley to increase their offer to get a a move,  slagged us off when the Keogh situation was ongoing and sent out a thumbs up social media post when he was on loan at QPR and we got relegated when they beat us.  His 10 man goal doesn't cover that lot.  Hope he winds up on the bench at Forest Green .

Now we know what he has tattooed on his arse : "No income tax, no VAT, no money back, no guarantee"

Smoother? - 8-speed auto box - can't feel gear changes at all
Quieter? - my car has this clever stuff called sound-proofing - other than initial start-up, it's hard to hear the engine during normal driving
Quicker? - 0-60 in 7.5 seconds - loads of torque for 30-70 acceleration - and a top speed of 140pmh - that's quick enough for most folk
Additionally, I have a genuine (not hopeful as most EVs are quoted) range of 550-600 miles on a tank full - and if I need to re-fill, there are numerous petrols stations where I can get back on the road in less than 10 minutes rather than the hour or so an EV driver needs if they're lucky enough to find a suitable charging point that's not already occupied - and I don't need to spend my journey watching a gauge to see how far I have left before I have to turn off the air-con or the stereo so that I don't end up stranded at the side of the road. Plus, if I keep the car until it's 8 years old, I won't need to splash out £10K on a replacement battery....
I actually quite like the concept of an EV, but I won't be looking for one for at least 5 years due to the genuine range issues and because the infrastructure is so lacking - though hopefully by then, we'll be looking at fuel-cells or other alternative power sources and so these concerns will no longer be an issue.
You early adopter Ecovangelists can do your best to sell them to us luddites but you need to remember that the current offerings are only suitable for a certain proportion of the population and are simply not practical for the majority (and why haven't the government mandated every new parking space and every new build house to have EV charging built-in if they really want to push take-up? - maybe they're hedging their bets on something 'better' coming along?.....)

Oops - seems those wheels have fallen off again

Off for my annual trip to the TT in the Isle of Man tomorrow. A couple of days late, but never mind.

Oops - seems those wheels have fallen off again

Perhaps I'm being obtuse but this sounds acutely interesting.

I made the mistake of watching a rerun of the 1979 final between Arsenal and Utd - puts modern football to shame.
I remember watching it live on TV but I’d forgotten just what a great game that was - Arse 2-0 up with 4 minutes to go, Utd pulled it back to 2-2 and Arse go back up the pitch to win it….

Fingers crossed for a more interesting race than the usual Monaco borefest- a lot of cars with very similar performance in qualifying but still very few overtaking opportunities as the cars get faster every year. 
At least there’s a MotoGP if F1 disappoints - and if today’s sprint race is anything to go by, it should be a cracker…

You should have confused the young 'uns by telling them Sunderland scored a last minute winner.  🤣
 

Are there performance issues at the moment? - something like 5-8 second response when clicking on topics whereas all other websites seem to be running normally....
