True but I'd take mine over yours any day

And I thought it was weird when a supermarket delivery driver insisted on adding me on Facebook... Ffs what is wrong with men.

(I realise I am one but I have no idea where this mentality comes from)

OK I'm not saying I'm an idiot, but I just microwaved custard in a container made partly from metal...

This is way better than the actual flag. In all honesty, in Scotland, England and Wales they could paint each country's national animal on it if they got proper stencils. Imagine unicorns, lions and dragons all over the place. Far less likely to be vandalised too.

Haha you're welcome!

One of my uni friends, very indifferent to Twilight, was making fun of the whole Team Jacob/Team Edward thing 13ish years ago. Then said "just be team Jedward!" before realising what she said. Honestly the best thing about Twilight for me 😂

Forgive the British (arguably anti) political reference but this reminds me of Count Binface, only better because spooky. That's amazing!

Then he is weak and unworthy.

My youngest girl does this. Very hard. How there hasn't been a broken (human) nose, I don't know.

As a native English speaker and fairly voracious reader, Return of the King was a slog. The Two Towers is heavy but good, but ROTK just got too much by the midpoint. Plenty would have bailed in Fellowship in fairness.

Nathan @tufty92.bsky.social · 3d

Oh bugger...

Nathan @tufty92.bsky.social · 3d

Contact was inevitable at some point but pre-empting it beyond saying what the consequences would be has limited them a lot. Sure, WCC win was easier, but come on. Give us racing!

Nathan @tufty92.bsky.social · 3d

If one actually takes the other out, the next race should see whoever got taken out get priority on strategy all weekend. That's the only papaya rule they need. Other than that, let them race. The FIA rules are good enough to keep them in check, and team harmony is up to the team first.

Love for all the Cats 😻 #tuesdayvibe

Ngl if someone said that to me and I wasn't listening, the arson thing would still cut through. Which makes it way more embarrassing when I've proved I wasn't listening!

Nathan @tufty92.bsky.social · 3d

If Lando gets passed with contact by Oscar in Mexico, and the team intervene in any way, that's the end of any faith in the papaya rules. And probably team harmony too. The next 6 races will be very interesting from that angle.

Nathan @tufty92.bsky.social · 4d

She knows it too!

Nathan @tufty92.bsky.social · 4d

She really is, if you ignore the perpetual risk of death she poses! But she's fiercely loyal to the few she loves.

Peaches, an elderly tabby cat, glares at the camera while plotting a dozen ways to murder everyone in the vicinity. This is her happiest state of being.

Nathan @tufty92.bsky.social · 4d

I have no idea what's going on but I have an ancient angry cat who will claw his eyes out for free. Twice, if he stands still long enough. She's sweet like that.

Nathan @tufty92.bsky.social · 6d

In terms of ignoring team orders, or ramming rivals for slowing them down before a restart? I assume you don't mean being fast, he's already decent at that

Nathan @tufty92.bsky.social · 6d

Yeah, there's a reason the stewards didn't even look at Oscar other than being the victim of Lando. The video is clear.

Nathan @tufty92.bsky.social · 6d

Just heard the result of investigations into Lewis, but that car should have been parked, not coasting round 30-40 seconds off the pace. How it was only a 5 second penalty I don't understand. Drivers get penalised for taking half a lap to park a broken car. Lewis drove multiple laps. #F1

Nathan @tufty92.bsky.social · 6d

Yeah but the drivers' title is probably going to the wire

Nathan @tufty92.bsky.social · 6d

Yeah that was weird. Of course Oscar defended himself, as he should. Lando then drove into Max and bounced into Oscar. The only person responsible for any contact was Lando.
