Heathrow isn’t too crowded — travellers just walk wrong way, says boss Thomas Woldbye, the chief executive, says Britons and Europeans walk on different sides, giving the impression the airport is too busy

Absolute bobbins. I use Heathrow A LOT and it's a free-for-all, whichever terminal you're in.

Wondering if this was meant as a joke.

Rave review of Mundo Pixar from my 10yo son. He thought it was brilliant. 11yo daughter enjoyed it a lot, too.

But then again, the boy was also so impressed with Wembley that he thinks we should move into one of the flats by the stadium, so...

Pressure on Honda.

My goodness but we need some good news these days & here’s something you might’ve missed…

It’s amazing to think the number of people who have come out in motor sport, let alone F1, is still tiny…(1)

Seeing Audi and Cadillac logos in there is mad... even though I knew they were competing this year.

Good to see a new local boy in the mix, too, in the Racing Bull.

Early days but the Aston in Stroll's hands in five seconds behind. Haven't been following closely but what do we read into that? #F1

Front of the 520d now shod with Bridgestone Potenza Sport Evos. Rear Turanzas are relatively new so didnt feel the need to replace, but the fronts were much more worn and I noticed a vibration at speed. Hoping these sort that and give a bit more front end confidence. Just need to dodge the potholes!

David Bowie on the fragmentation of society and the Internet. He was a very smart guy.

From Adam Curtis's docuseries Shifty, on BBC iPlayer. I absolutely love Curtis's stuff -- dreamlike yet cerebral.

OMG, I've just seen for the first time a following drone shot of downhill skiing at the Winger Olympics and... holy sh*t. It always looked impressive by my god, that really shows the speed! Huge respect to those guys.

Scammers targeted me when I sold my car — luckily I saw the signs Will Dron put his car up for sale online and received a call from an interested buyer within minutes . . . but soon alarm bells were ringing

Encountered this car sales scam yourself? It seems that many people have.

I put an advert for my car on Autotrader and within minutes relieved a call from a buyer who wanted to see it ASAP. He had just one request...

Motorway chief quits after boardroom row over faulty speed cameras Ex-Thames Water executive Nick Harris, head of National Highways since 2021, was effectively forced to quit after losing the confidence of the board

"Harris switched to National Highways in 2016 after nearly 20 years in the water industry, including top roles at Thames Water, the heavily indebted utility, between 2006 and 2013."

He could take on Jaguar next, maybe?

When was the last time you saw a really great TV advert? The early 2000s were a highlight, and for me the Honda Cog ad is a contender for greatest of all time. Some good ones after, for sure, but recently it all seems a bit... meh. youtu.be/w4XiaP-WhNw?...

Close up of new Continental tyre before fitting

Red Abarth 595 having tyres fitted.

Pair of new Continental boots going on the Abarth at Kwik Fit. Offside was losing pressure v slowly so this was absolutely necessary, but otherwise not too worn so the rears can wait a little longer. Always good to get new rubber, though.

Also, future bills could be... costly. I'll be putting aside a little more money each month!

Finally been going through my 520d's history and, wow... in 2025 the owner spent over two grand on it. I bought it in Jan for £6500. Nothing about the timing chain in the entire file but new air bags for the suspension in 2021, and new compressor for them last year. Amazed.

Correct. My mistake. 🤦‍♂️

...not too bad (obviously, or I'd have spotted it before purchase 🙈). Needs new front pads but I knew that already and got some money knocked off. Getting a full service at the same time. Still worried about the timing chain, and the self-levelling rear suspension may be another time bomb. 😬

...happened to the donor car. 🫣). I've also gone to work on the chromed bits and used Autglym trim and bumper care on the outer seals. Plus leather cleaner and balm on the seats. Generally delighted with it but driver armrest is tatty and I've noticed scuffs on the o/s front wing - annoying but...

I don't normally talk to my cars but on the way back from the dealer I did promise my 520d that I'd look after it properly if it didn't sh*t itself. So far so good and today I replaced a door seal that seemed to have been nibbled by a dog. Perfect replacement from ebay (don't want to think what...

I like the fact that that's the most unlikely part of that film.

When I go through my box of cables and connectors I do wonder why I keep some of them. Scart leads, for example. But one day I'll need one, for sure.

LPG still exists in places but it was not a majority seller at any point, which diesel was, so there are many more diesel vehicles on the road. It will become rarer but I'd expect it to still be widely available on forecourts for at least a decade to come.
