I wonder what happened to the ship’s loadmaster who messed things up?

Hoping he makes a quick and full recovery. But if you were going to have to miss a race there’s no better time to do it than when you’ve already secured the win in both championships.

I bet he’s not too thrilled that everybody’s Taycan the piss.

I’m just glad my Dad and older family are in Australia where they’re safe.

You can choose your friends you know.

I’ve flown on PIA, where they say at the start of the descent “Inshallah we will soon be landing”. It always made me wonder what the alternative was.

Yes, they highlighted the importance of not touching your face in the early days of the pandemic. But since then they’ve found that there’s very little evidence of…

Looks like a toy one I had as a kid in the ‘70's.

“Halberstam starts the book recounting how an oil industry analyst visited each of the Big Three in mid-1973 on the eve of the OPEC crisis to warn these companies that energy prices would soon rise and they’d need to invest in fuel-efficient cars. Chrysler and Ford barely listened to his reports, GM refused to…
