      Feck me, these vauxhalls aren't going very well.

      Apparently the first chap "thought it went well".

      It was absolute crap.

      Ho hum.

      The current candidate is babbling away.

      He could compete with Patrick Moore at his most voluble.

      Dunno what the content is like though.

        What I find really frightening is that these people think they're good.

            Went for a cup of coffee, so missed most of this one.



            Doesn't sound like I've missed much.

              Have you retired? Or in between gigs? Or on a holiday?

              Your life style sounds pretty relaxed and nice!

                On the de-icing front, have you tried the 2 litre pop bottle full of warm (not hot or boiling) water out of the hot tap poured over the glass?

                Works wonders, been doing it for years.
                I had a cracked windscreen this time last year that ended up being a huge hassle - not risking that again! I'll scrape instead

                Anyway, by the time I realise I've forgotten the water, gone back to the flat, and brought it back to the car, I could be done scraping

                I'm pretty much on autopilot at that time of day. If I get in the habit of taking bottles of warm water with me, I'll still be doing it in August

                  I'm no expert, but I'm absolutely 100% certain that's the Dunning-Kruger effect at work

                    That's the clever people can't believe thick people are so thick and thick people can't believe clever people are so clever thing isn't it?
                    I'm not even an atheist so much as I am an antitheist; I not only maintain that all religions are versions of the same untruth, but I hold that the influence of churches, and the effect of religious belief, is positively harmful. [Christopher Hitchens]

                      I retired 10 years ago when I got this job.

                      It'd be great if it wasn't driving me
