When you drop your campervan off to get serviced at the main dealer and they leave oily marks on the seat bases.

When you point it out to them and they tell you how to remove it with brake cleaning fluid as they’re not doing it. FFS

his track record is head and shoulders above any manager the national team have had for decades

Southgate’s record was very impressive: semis, quarters and 2 finals. I’ll wager that no manager will better that in the next 20years.

Compare that to any previous national manager and he’s very successful by any measure. If the fans weren’t so stupid and hung up on 1966 then they might see it differently.

Tuchel it’s another high profile manager who has inherited much of his success. Dortmund are always a major force in Germany, PSG were splashing cash and uncontested domestically, Chelsea are just Chelsea. Bayern, well his personality and methods were not a success.

He’s just a new Mourinho and will be doing his angry Pepperami impression at Wembley very soon.

On Radio4 yesterday they were saying that the election campaigning isn’t about trying to convince people to change their mind about who to view for (views are pretty entrenched and floating voters are very rare in their political system).

The campaigning is to encourage people to get off their bum and vote as many just can’t be bothered. There are millions of people who are disengaged but their votes could be critical. Hence Harris and Trump’s slightly left field activities this week in key areas.

It’s going to spend most of it life doing motorway or A road trips so it should be okay

I forgot I have a North Face heavy cotton twill shirt. It’s excellent

Mine is black but they are often on sale like below

The answer to my original question was a facelift 1st gen Volvo XC60

I don’t do many miles so it should last many years.

Anyone on here got a new Bulova Jetstar?

My mate has one and he’s smitten. It looks really nice with the dark red face.

Tuchel will be interesting when the mouth-breathing inngrrrland fans start singing about bombers, world cups and world wars

Hoggs of Fife do some nice flannels at sensible prices

Old army moleskin shirts used to be dirt cheap but not anymore.

I think it is a Fergie 35

But if you’ve got a rubber boot mat you can’t access it.

it’s ok not to know and it’s ok to simply withhold judgement in light of insufficient evidence.

Anyone would think that you’re new on here

;-)

I’ve got arms like pipe cleaners so shouldn’t be an issue for me.

Thanks

FWIW, Aubin tend to have very good sales after every season. My mate at work always buys their stuff when reduced.

@steezysix – is it easy to wash/look after?

I’m very tempted to get one myself

Anything forecast for tonight?

We’ll be camping somewhere very dark and the forecast is cold and clear skies… ???

Is this any good for your?

Autotrail build quality isn’t great in that model range –  it’s at the lower end of Autotrail range. Normally they are okay but the fit and finish of the expedition ones isn’t great

Finisterre Beardsmore is excellent. I’ve got 3 but 2 were from Reskinned (used or returned under warranty and fixed)

They’re lovely things

Thanks @Scapegoat

Does anyone know what time is peak activity tonight?

@scapegoat – wow! What time was that? How long was that exposure?

We didn’t see anything in Stainland. Woe is me

State of Grace

it seems the App is very broken this morning

My wife has the Gumbies. They’re okay but not that robust. She doesn’t weigh much but they seem to have worn out quite quickly despite only 2 winters wear. Unlike me she looks after her stuff so they are  disappointing

Where are you?

Twelvty usually works!

@joshvegas – don’t you like a TVaR?

@gwaelod – the biggest problem is that maths isn’t sexy or interesting to many people. Stats even less so!

In this country we have people who brag “I don’t do numbers me“. FFS

So trying to explain why your 1-in a 100 year event is different to mine due to differences in methodology, data, time horizon, etc is a non-starter.

Hurricanes, well they’re like buses, you wait all day then 3 come at once. They’re taking liberties I tell ya

7? I’m not sure they can count that high…

Surely the more advanced ones can count to 7 on one hand?

Fat fingers !!

This +1^50 should be +10^50

We’re being moved to Teams from Zoom to save money. It’s just not as good.

Any idea where to get those boot/bonnet tie down straps for when you don’t have a metal hook to tie the  bow or stern tie downs to?
