He's a distraction, nothing more.
That's hilarious.

Can I just say that Nigel Garage and his cohorts can all just fuck off?
I can?
Great! Don't mind if I do!

Modern cars have too many gadgets and goodies.
This morning in the Tesco car park I was reversing out of a parking spot and it insisted on showing me a video of a granny getting run over.

Wednesday , we were on the Brittany Ferries' "Galicia" travelling from Cherbourg to Portsmouth under blue skies and on a millpond Channel.
Great crossing!

Latest and perhaps greatest album.
Depeche Mode passed me by completely. I was busy with kids and a lot of business trips abroad in the 1980s.
So, let me ask the musicologists here: what albums of theirs should I listen to?

I've just plowed through J.K. Rowling's latest Strike novel writing as Robert Galbraith.
The Hallmarked Man entangles several love stories and crimes, as before, I recommend it.
If you haven't read the Strike books, I recommend all of them, acknowledging that Rowling isn't the greatest person.

No clothes in Tesco Carmarthen except a small bargain rail.
I guess they're making room for Christmas.
After all, no-one needs clothes in the Autumn.
