Whilst it can easily be argued that Fleetwood Mac's "The Chain" is probably the best sports intro song going (Formula 1), I would argue that The Doug Wood Band's "Drag Racer" (snooker) runs it very close indeed:

Are there any makes of (new) car that still attract the considerate driver in the way that Volvo and Saab used to? With Saab gone and Volvo heading upmarket one rarely sees anything driven sensibly any more. Even Skodas seem to be piloted rather furiously these days.😔

Dacia, perhaps?🚗

I acquired this recently at a beneficiary boutique and, having leafed through it again over the last couple of days, can confirm it is both hilarious and informative. I highly recommend finding a copy, if you have not already got one. 🤣📖🤓

I don't think it's slander, and definitely not communism, when you just need to open your eyes and look at the evidence. And is it really wrong to use the term "overthrow" against an *unelected* official? 😒

He knocked on the door, I opened it, he gave me the parcel, I said thanks and wished him a good day, he said goodbye and I shut the door again. "Great" is pitching it a bit strong, isn't it? 😐

My wife objected to them wielding guns (bit difficult not to with Megatron, but there it is) - "nasty robot monsters" to use her own words (girls, eh?) - so at her suggestion we have invented a new subgroup of Transformers: The Discobots! 🕺👆🤖🤩
