Lets face it who wants to be f****n about planning journeys around when and how long you need to allow for your car to get charged up ....my mate recently bought a new Tesla that has an autopilot to bring it to a safe stop if it detects the driver is unresponsive ( fallen asleep for instance ).....we tried it out for a giggle and its now in the repair shop after almost taking out a tree !.....lectric will certainly take over in the the coming years but its like any new technology the first wave is little more than a gimmick,at this point its all about showing off the capabilities and being " f

Wait dont tell me............conkers ? Seems quite plausible judging by some of the shit thats going on.

Yep fair do's just Googled it....a 10 year old Greek gymnast won bronze in 1896 ? Perhaps Scalextric can be in the next Olympics my grandson will be a sure bet for the podium.

Oh no not another one i had this argument in that Queens Head pub ....id had a few so was on a bit of a talking jig debating the local worzels ?....we had quite a giggle actually i said i dont buy it and wanted a stewards inquiry about it then up pops this little Norris Mcwhirter type giving me all stats and facts about what the glaciers left behind and the flow rate differences between lakes,meres,waters.....i couldnt be doing with it and curred out quite quickly for me ?.....still f****d if i know what a " tarn " is i think he was making it up as he went along personally ! -

That little pricks long gone mate it would be safe to say things didnt quite work out with that young fella !....but yes we're doing a Scotland trip in a few weeks we're doing what they call in the motorhome/campervan world " The NC-500 "......which i thought was a race ?....but is infact a 520 odd mile scenic route around The Highlands a few people have told us about it so we'll take a week or so over it....i,ll have to stop all this f****n about once the footie season starts so will make it the finale of the motoring summer.....not sure we'll be doing all this once normal holidaying resumes -
And as if a bloke/bird/it type thing competing in womens weightlifting isnt enough we're now seeing 12 and 13 year old children winning Olympic medals !!.......there you go folks,you can be anything you want to be in todays freakshow society.

We're back down this end now mate though will be back up at some point as we met a smashing couple we're going to keep in touch with,surprised me actually as most northerners in my experience are right boring b*****ds ? but we had a good ol laugh with these they had a beautiful cottage not too far from Keswick a place called Matterdale on Lake Ulswater is it....we'll be back up to visit at some point so will put them few places in my notes,cheers -

Yes im not too bad with it now mate i still try to avoid tight little lanes as much as possible but practise makes perfect and all that....i still find it off putting having the ol woman wandering about in the back making cups of tea while we're driving im not totally sure of the legalities to that but all in all its not going too bad this is by far the most driving ive done in years and must admit im quite enjoying it ? -
The governing bodies of sports be that the English Football Association or International Olympic Committee are all working with their hands tied behind their backs according to what direction the elite world powers want to engineer society,sport being one of the most watched events worldwide is the perfect platform to exploit and capitalize for future generations......if the highest powers in sport cant do anything about social engineering then normal every day bods like us certainly cant. Ive said since its inception transgender sport will be the pathway towards disposing of PED testing.

Made a complete bollocks up of that Wilf ?....our site was at the very top of Windermere and after reading your post i had " The Queens Head " tucked away in the back of my mind so the day before we came back headed off to find it....." nice little village pub " i says....." not sure about the stunning views though ".......turns out we was in The Queens Head,Hawkshead....not The Queens Head,Troutbeck.....basically the opposite side of Lake Windermere !!.....anyway certainly a beautiful part of the country ive woken up in worse places than Coniston Water what a delightful setting at 7am.

Not sure the depreciation is much different to any other car mate i certainly cant see how it would be as much as that ?.....at the end of the day vehicle depreciation is dependant on the desirability of the make/model of the car at that particular time not what fuel it runs on.

I thought it was that Eddie Hall geezer when i first tuned in ?....then it occurred to me,whats stopping an Eddie Hall type identifying as a bird for a couple of weeks while the Olympics is on....maybe an Olympic Gold just doesnt carry the same distinction anymore.
-
I agree its all political now......even a numbskull like me has seen it coming for years they was always going to use sport to impose political views on society.....today ive watched the first he/she in the weightlifting i have no idea what/who i was watching !.....the shared gold medal in the high jump what utter f****n nonsense !.....dopey little knitting boy they are taking any available opportunity to dictate your views via sport

Much as i agree we are looking at some kind of " New World " scenario.....its all relative i dont think we're different to any other generation,in reality we all get to a certain age and start moaning about " change "....our grandfathers did it,there grandfathers did it.....and its always worse than ever before ?......again,no group of people throughout history has ever been able to stop that era's version of " progress ".
-
Oh i know that mate im not talking about being covertly plotted up across the road im talking about normalised,established control of our speech.....standard as a light bulb or a speaker.....in situ mics stopping you calling someone a nasty name etc I dont think its paranoia to expect something like that over the coming years.

The round he lost he actually got a bit cocky and went in for a hook but Shaw beat him to it.....it sounds nuts to say it but i actually fancy John to beat Levan i think he can take him away from his bicep and go bone on bone in a battle of wrists.....Laletin though im not sure i think his pure leverage will pose Brzenk massive problems......but as he has proved once again you just dont bet against John Brzenk at any age.
-
Like we " accepted " the internet,or the passport even ? or indeed any other invasion on human society. I get the old " just because its progress doesnt mean its good progress " saying......but i dont think any group through history has actually resisted intrusion has it ?.....some isolated tribe in the Amazonian rainforest maybe.
-
Well it went exactly as i thought Brzenk won 3-1 but even the leg he lost shouldnt have been a loss Brzenk won it clearly but they called an elbow foul,you could watch it back 100 times from different angles you wont find a foul.....John dominated the middle of the table,worked for perfect shoulder position and as i suspected his hand and wrist were just too much for Shaw....great win and brilliant achievement for Brzenk that hopefully wont stop there i think he,ll do well in the upcoming Top 8 tournament.

The reality of that little episode was....athlete doesnt warm up properly and tears his hamstring only to continue the race in order to get a finishing position but get totally f****d up by his father running on getting him disqualified !!! Tell me a white man that could come out of that total calamity a national hero and lifelong motivational speaker.....talk about every cloud ?
-
Ive driven and been in some quick cars and have not yet found an electric car that has the same driving experience a petrol engine has.....to me its like being in something like a flight simulator it almost doesnt feel real,im sure for future generations the excitement of a fast electric car will be everything petrol engines were for us...but folk of this crossover period im sure will have many similar reservations to my own.

Always admired Stallones dedication to strength & fitness throughout the years....seems to really enjoy pushing himself to the limits.....and the Rocky/Rambo series of films are just timeless classics.

Same,i remember having conversations with some ultra hi tech bods a number of years ago about surveillance techniques and their thoughts were that the film " Enemy of the State " was based around available technology of the time,and that was 25 years ago !......i dont think you have to be particularly paranoid to see the direction things are headed in terms of the society being mapped out for us,i recall a similar conversation with the same few bods more recently of plans to install hundreds of ultra sensitive directional microphones in football stadiums to enable operators to focus in on whis

My Olympic claim to fame is that Velodrome was built on top of a van yard i once owned ? You might be right thinking about it there was a certain magic about the Olympics when you was younger that isnt there now.
-
No i can get that mate i suppose its like watching a good film you get into it and want to see it out......but you wont remember it years later or book yourself a surfing fan yet would you ? ?
-
It was Stanozolol yes but they was all juiced up to the eyeballs the testing before that Olympics was so much different then none of them really had any fear of failing.....it was a historic year in the Peds industry and caused a re-think in many of the top labs worldwide.
