Fantastic! Does this mean I can ignore the council as I find it far, far more unpleasant than merely ‘annoying’? telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/05/1…

The Mighty Up has been washed, polished, oil/filters changed, annoying subframe bush creak siliconed and interior hoovered out. If it rains now, you’ll know why. Sorry.

Not seen this one in the village before. What a beauty. MK IX?

For the last three years, my partner,Pippa Shay, has been working on a book to help people when their dog dies. Because she’s a psychotherapist, she understands exactly what causes the grief and knows what to do about it. She’s just published. It’s superb. amazon.co.uk/Not-Just-Dog-U…

“They appealed to glory in restrictions of all kinds, and rationing of every sort… more interested in political planning and doctrinaire Socialism… Our rulers gloried in austerity and misery…” From ‘Motoring is my Business’, 1958, by John Bolster.

Govt has launched a consultation on future legislation around classic cars. If you care about our ability to enjoy our hobby, & for future generations to do so, it's REALLY important you take time to respond. Make it tonight's task over a beer. Please.

Happy MMC. I don’t believe in ‘service indicators’. The Mighty Up gets its oil and filter replaced every 10k max. and ideally earlier.

Right., Having successfully guarded my fan from sh1t all Friday afternoon, I am now sloping off early for once. The Mighty Up needs an oil change.

A lovely parking neighbour this morning.

Oxfordshire County Council, never letting guidance get in the way of a councillor’s whim.

Nasty, bourgeois thing, that 'culture'.

This green thing is getting beyond a joke. Not allowed petrol, not allowed diesel, now we’re not allowed electricity and have to inflate our own cars.

What do you mean, “You spoil that dog”?

Think I might not leave it quite so long next time.

Down the Garrick for my early morning pot of tea. Pauline Quirke has just ordered a tray of flaming sambucas.

Looks like someone in HR forgot to check with their Commissar what this week’s overarching vision is. Perhaps we could suggest some appropriate visions for them?

Right. Sure.

We say congratulations on your windfalls and in having the good fortune that #UK100 cities are run by vandals.

Unfortunate juxtaposition.

New favourite joke. Thanks Scott.
