I’m a complete packrat in games, so I reckon it’ll be a fair while before I even get off the first planet.

I’m not really into this whole Gundam thing, but I am something of a model maker, so I always find the models interesting.

Nice idea, but us Brits beat you to it. Well, the Cornish, more specifically.

I used to be a security consultant back in the day, and I worked with police forces up and down the UK. As a result, I had quite a few “professional friendships”, for want of a better term, with fairly high ranking police officers; situations where I worked closely with people for months on projects, so we ended up…

I just showed this to the missus for a laugh. She’s been riding since before she could walk, and her mum ran a riding school for years before that. Having said that, they’re the most unhorsey horsey people you could meet, if that makes sense.

We bought a box of Twinkies in Sainsbury’s the other day. They have a new “American” section full of Tootsie Rolls, various Reese’s products and so forth.

My six year old daughter, Katie the Rocket Powered Fairy Pirate, has never really been into Disney. She had a friend (who moved away recently) who was a proper Disney Princess™ who had all the costumes and always wanted to play dressup and be a princess and have tea parties and all the rest of it. Katie would dress up…

Actually, a lot of modern aircraft are fitted with what’s known as 0/0 (zero/zero) ejection seats. They are called this because they operate safely at zero altitude and zero airspeed.

As someone who has built a few performance vans in my day, I would imagine the handling on that is awful due to the fact that there’s no weight on the front end.

Is it just me, or does “Jim Bob’s Warranties and Vaping Supplies” sounds like the most trustworthy of that list...?

About 20 years ago I was stationed in Canada with the British Army. We used to use 90 and 110 Defenders as safety vehicles on the prairies and they broke, frequently. Not surprising as we were chasing tracked battle groups across rough terrain at up to 70mph.

I grew up in the ‘70s and ‘80s when ninjas were all the rage. There were companies selling all the “traditional” ninja kit - the black outfits, the shoes, climbing spikes, throwing stars and so forth. Pretty much every martial arts magazine had ads for ninja gear.

Hopefully now we’ll see what the other presenters and the writers are capable of. I got the distinct impression everyone was tiptoeing around Evans like he was made of thin glass.

In the UK, all HGVs are required to have side and rear under-run guards fitted. I’m not sure they would be effective in a perpendicular collision like this, as they’re mainly designed to stop pedestrians/pushbikes etc going under the vehicle/trailer, but I reckon they could have helped.

Just dropped in to say that, as I scrolled past the picture, I thought it was made of Lego...

I kid you not, I used to know a guy called Richard Stahard, who went by Dick.

Fully agree. I’ve had several cars with auto lights, and I used to turn them on and off manually. When I got my latest car, a 2013 Golf, the switch was set to auto. I reached to turn it off when I suddenly thought “Why am I bothering?” and I left it on auto where it has been to this day.

Great. Now I want a burger.
