Gran Torino is on some channel, found it a bit boring, just Clint Eastwood being really miserable.

It's a take on John Wayne's The Shootist.

I reckon.

Grumpy old sod decides to go out with a bang rather than a lingering death.

It may well have been the old boy's last film.

Lauren Bacall, James Stoo-art, the Colonel from MASH, they're all in it.

Mrs C and I pulled up on the roundabout serving Junction 6 of the M4 in her SLK. We had a quarter of the roundabout to go. Something snarly pulled up alongside. It was a AMG SLS. I looked at admiringly. It's a beast. The passenger caught my eye. He didn't smile, he just slowly gave one nod of his head. Then the lights turned green and they were off. My, my, what a lovely noise. By the time we made the start of the slip road, they were joining the motorway.

0-60 in 3.7? Yes, I can believe that.

That 6.2 V8 has to go down as one of the all time great modern engines. I would love to own a car that has one in it one day.

[DickyC]

Wendy remarked it was quick. Which is unusual in itself. I said the engine in it is nearly three times the size of the engine in this.

I see she's already talking about your car with her friend.

[DickyC]

That's the ticket.

Just in. Great night with the OH at our favourite restaurant tonight.

The fella up ^^^ there.

Possibility, although this guy wasn't complaining how warm it is today...

Oi! I deeply resemble that comment.

ION Mrs pad wants sofas , but she didn't seem that keen on going to see some last night ,fine.

[Fishtigua]

Morning all. Yep, a tad drizzly, sod it, going to make a bold move and go for the papers and milk.

I need a haircut.

As I was too busy racing Mrs C's car against an AMG SLS yesterday afternoon, I missed the FA Cup. So I've just been on YouTue for a replay of Abide With Me.

Gets me every time.

[Fishtigua]

Who won?

I'm betting the Wolves came 3rd.

Right?

[DickyC]

I don't know, I only watch Abide With Me.

[DickyC]

I know so little about football. I know the name of the Policeman on the white horse during The White Horse Incident at the FA Cup Final at Wembley in 1923 and I know the name of the horse.* That's about it.



* Constable George Scorey and Billie.
