Um, you know the whole war, oil price, violent absurdity and waste thing.
Explainify this.
Venezuela, world's biggest oil and gas reserves.
Iran, world's second biggest oil and gas reserves.
Surely it's simplistic to suggest there's a link?
Would it be a sensible option to reduce our dependency?
I've just written a review of the 100% electric Citroen e-Dispatch. It might be moving in more ways than one.

So booldly annoying isn’t it. I try so hard not to post typoes.

Top oil reserve countries on Earth:

2- UAE
3 - Iran ✓
4 - Canada
Any questions?
There's always a fucking tweet. Always.

Bombing Iran. Iran retaliating, clever.
Now no one is talking about the Epstein files and the 38,000 mentions that the old orange loser achieves.
Very clever, and also applauding and tragic.
A picture of Epstein, Clinton, and the Maxwell woman who’s in prison.
Remember that bloke who said he did ‘not have sexual relations with that woman.’
You know, talking about the woman he had sex with.
Well, he hung about with trumps best pal, on his island, but saw and did ‘nothing wrong.’
LOL.

If it ever starts to be summer I will be appearing in the Cosmic Shambles Forest at Latitude festival 23rd to 26th July.

Very sad news about Rob Grant, who, along with Doug Naylor created the long running comedy series Red Dwarf.
He passed away on Wednesday, Rob was a very funny man with a talent for stinging reposts.
When I was in Australia, 2 things happened. It was sunny, and I went for a walk on a farm that was covered in nearly 1 million solar panels. And 6,500 very happy sheep.

My word, that articulated lorry tractor unit, or 'semi' with a central driver position looks rather familiar, except it's a bit cheaper and goes a bit further.

I have taken a fresh smeg hammer from the stores on F deck and will chisel the latest smeg into the last chapter sir.

The cover of my book of Red Dwarf memories, The Man in the Rubber Mask
If I was to produce an updated reprint of 'The Man in the Rubber Mask,' and sell signed copies of it through my upcoming modern online bookshop, would anyone buy it?
That's the big question. For me.
Screenshot of the Amazon page advertising my book 'News from Gardenia.' The price ranged from £32.01 pence to £98.54 pence. Delivery between 7th and 10th March.
I'm half way through setting up a little online bookshop. I've been pondering how much to charge for dedicated signed books.
Just checked Amazon to see how much they charge . . . . .
I just might undercut them a bit.
A headline from the magazine auto express. It reads “electric car batteries are lasting a lot longer than expected”.
My favourite headline of the day. I wonder who might have tried to imply they wouldn’t last very long. I mean, you know, which industry would benefit from everyone worrying about battery life?

Just did an interview on Talk radio in the UK. It was about the European car makers stopping ever making electric cars again because, as a caller said, 'No one wants electric cars.'
Definitely not the 10 million EV drivers in the EU or the 1.8 million in UK

Oh the savage irony.
I write a short Substack rant, critical of 'Prediction Marketing' or trendy gambling for hip losers, and Substack announce their new partnership with some two bit rip off Prediction Marketing scam site.
Isn't that lovely.

Here's what I do know. Charger operators buy electricity at the wholesale rate, which can be way, way lower than we pay, and sometimes way higher. They then add a lot to cover costs of installation, equipment costs etc, then they slap on a load more for profit, and until recently in UK, +20% VAT

Yes, why is it SO expensive (even though it has got a bit cheaper very recently.)
Charging on the move,

Trump's done more for China in the last 18 months than they could ever have dreamt of. Pity about the US economy though.

Amazing new battery from Chinese battery maker CATL. Elliot Richards braved the cold in inner Mongolia to find out more.
Brrrrr.

I have written something about Finding Harmony. It's very important for all of us to find a bit of harmony.

It was a common term used in Australia. It means a pushy and loud form of sales promotion. You would often see smartly dressed women standing outside big department stores announcing special offers. They were 'spruiking.'

I'm just mildly excited. By the middle of next week I might have set up my sparking new online book shop.
I will no doubt be bellowing and spruiking about it like a cockney market stall holder in Hackney.
Just for a moment forget about politics of China and USA. We know China's massive energy demands relied heavily on burning imported coal. Can't think of another industrialised country that burned a metric sh!t ton of coal for 100 years.
Anyway, China is now burning less, oh yes, and USA burning more
LOL. Seriously not a problem with these fab machines. If any of them could accept as much as 50 kW, we’d be laughing.

Three new electric cars parked on a hilltop car park overlooking the sea
Okay, it’s bloody cold in North Wales, we are shooting a small electric car road trip all the way to Cardiff today. Limited range? City car up mountains? Not many chargers?
We do it so you don’t have to.
