I'm on my third modern mini, other than brakes, tyres, and a couple springs, never had a thing go wrong. Love the things and they make the ball road drives for work so much fun. Now, the '92 mark IV Fod Escort I had was so far beyond redemption it was laughable for the year and a half I owned it.

I thought Solo was a good film other than bits that tried to make it about Han Solo, then, not so much. Not "nobody asked for this" more that with cool enigmatic characters, or mysterious back stories, mystical forces, unless it is all meticulously planned out before hand it rarely lived up to expectations. Add to that the calibre of Harrison Ford, the iconic performance of the role, it wasn't ever going to live up to that. For me, Solo is like most of the prequels/sequels/spin offs. They haven't added anything of enough value to the mysteries or back stories, they haven't shown great motivations or origins for the characters I loved in the first place. With exceptions. Doesn't mean they shouldn't keep playing with the toys, but they should be more careful with them.

I don't know anything any this second course other than it is being built over the old area of scientific interest, that building his first course there killed. Not sure who he paid off, cause none of the homes or other facilities they promised to get the first course done came to light.

Whilst certainly in danger on the mainland, in no way had the species died out. Especially if you mean the UK and not just southern England. They do massively need help and protection though, so this is great news.

I'm not a spiritual dude really, but went out a walk along my old dog's favourite route today, from back when he was alive, and there were times I swear I could feel his presence. He was a really good boy.

Glaswegian really, doesn't work in the other accents. Not really such a thing as a "Scottish" accent, but Glasgow's accent does seem to be spreading.

More wriggly wiggly surely?

Presuming you are using just standard black tea, tea bags this method is sure fire, https://youtu.be/Y-kx8JEDgnE?si=VRB4oINE3wi-6pec Not all tea bags are born equal though, so worth trying a few to find your brew. Milk or not, sweetening or not is at your own discretion really, though some teas benefit from additions, some not. Enjoy your tea journey.

It's better than that, a solid enough 6.5/10 but clunky script wise in places, but does a good job, with a great cast, of explaining the impact of this sort of thing in an entertaining way

Interesting concept, good actors and the great Bob Zemekis at the helm... I'm in

 

Love this one. Away kit looked horrible, new home kit was decent

 

Timing, I guess. As going to post as mighty boosh link, then Blue train was posted before I go to it, this still works though by title

 

Title of track is the connection

From a question earlier about your favourite local coffee. The Dark Lochnagar from Ballater roaster The Roaring Stagg is my go to and favourite flavour, pretty amazing value too Glen Lyon are from a bit further afield but makes a lovely cup too though, a not more premium in price

 

Remains of "new" Slains Castle in Aberdeenshire.

 

The former home of The Earl of Erroll and inspiration (at least partially) for Bram Stoker
