Thought for Today

Drop in and dribble on about nothing serious. Seriously a mad place to hang out. Better to avoid it if you're not in the mood!!! If you're determined to be sad, bad, mad & angry then move along!!!

One of the best opening lines I've read in quite a while:

" ....... and handled with all the finesse of a cat in bathtub ......" probably best not to get political, so I want mention names and how they are handling a return to the job ;) :lol:

I know T1 is keen on EVs (he does own TWO Prius!), and he reckons they accelerate faster than ICE-powered cars.
I’m not sure about the latter…
I reckon it’s all torque.

Only the French are allowed to talk about Revolutions…
or maybe the Russians, too.
The Yanks had a sort of a Revolution, more like a semicircle, in 2021 but it wasn’t a patch on their first one. They all went home when the Orange Warrior eventually asked them to.
:roll:
