Let's take your example. If Dominic Cummings was leader of a party do you think they'd be getting your vote?

There was a young man from Gwent
Who passed wind wherever he went
Oh what a worry
But he always said sorry
He sure was a proper gent

He passed it on a bus one day
Some passengers began to sway
Some fell to the floor
others headed for the door
stepping over those who lay

There's a section of dual carriageway that runs between two major roads running into town to the north. I has big wide verges one side and the pikeys often used to park there leaving the usual piles of crap behind when they eventually left. The council must have had a genius in the highways team. Instead of clearing all the crap up they just dumped loads of soil on top. Initially an eyesore but of course it seeded and what you had left were big grassy hillocks where there had been flat inviting pikey pitches. This continued for a while. now there's a mile or so of "landscaped" hillocks and no pikeys.

My wife and I often used to chuckle about this whenever we used that road. Once when heading into Wales she looked at the mountains and came out with - bloody hell they're hard on the pikeys here aren't they??  :grin:

Here's a section

If Starmer takes the advise from an advisor... Why isn't the advisor the leader of the country..?

Dominic Cummings.. Boris Johnson's adviser contributed in destroying Boris and his party..

Quote from: Mups on Today at 11:23:52 AMNo,  seriously, that looks a dodgy place to have to park right on that bend,  let alone allt he pot holes.
Actually the road is straight  - the camera is 180° view which causes a bit of distortion. The "pot holes" are just dead leaves which the council don't seem top ever clear up unless somebody complains.

Quote from: Alex on Today at 12:07:34 PMCouldn't you move right to the front so nobody can get in front and you're free to drive straight out ?
Quote from: klondike on Today at 10:53:51 AMI used to park right at the end on the left in the picture as that spot is hard to see driving down the road so is usually still free when I return and doesn't involve reverse parking on the main road. I stopped that after I found that one of the many delivery vans that tag on in front past the parking bay and well onto the pavement to keep clear of the bollards had swung in a bit too sharply and badly scuffed the wheel arch plastic cover on the car I had at the time.

Oh and it's all empty again now. Must have been a flying visit from the bloke next door unless he has gone to hire a more powerful pneumatic drill. Perhaps he's been made deaf by the one he's been using so far and thinks it is busted.

I'm not a hugger either, but I do hug friends when we say goodbye after a meet up.  Who knows if we'll all meet up again? 😜
