It always comes down to money. One of the prime motivators was to avoid having to implement impending EU tax avoidance rules. It would have hit the likes of Rees-Mogg quite hard.

Utter rubbish. The only reason brexit was ever floated was to appease a euro skeptic wing of the Tory party. Cameron in his idiotic wisdom thought the referendum would be a cinch so much so he didn’t bother with a supermajority clause. He didn’t count on Boris Johnson being an asshole or the leave campaign breaking…

I'm sure there are some that might suggest Lady Gaga "stay in her lane" but they would miss the point that popular music has always been driven by the politics and events of the time. Whether band names, lyrics, protests or whatever. This is her lane.

Exactly. Also here in Phoenix people think it helps with the heat. It may up to a certain point but after that 110F is 110F.

Oooh cross-over/sequel, I like it!

Why am I reading this segment, every week without fail?

They did and people died a lot. Some guy eventually wrote a book about how they were "unsafe at any speed". It was quite a big deal at the time.

They have some cash that is keeping them open but it isn’t limitless. We’re lucky in that we have other work besides the contract. But we’re still re-organizi…

Have you seen who our president is?

So given it’s mostly a raid on the BMW parts bin, this seems like a winning deal for Toyota as they barely had to do anything apart from a body shell.

This thread is golden.

Disclosure - I haven’t seen the movie.

“Colin Jost and/or Michael Che as Ghostbusters” - yeah I might watch thatbut only if Leslie Jones was still in it, good crossover potential between the two universes. 

Road rash

Oh I see. How’s your speed record attempt going?

Burnley are trying to do it right. Careful spending, though maybe too careful this year as their small squad was over stretched when they accidentally qualified for Europe. The problem for teams that hover between Championship and premier is getting that level of spending right. You can go all out buying everything…

Lucky Arizona Cardinals I guess

It was so easy to do just after a good feed when they’re napping.
