I always switch off the wireless if anyone is talking with that speak, drives me nuts!

Here’s a nice picture of our new table football thing. Can’t believe my wife keeps beating me! Must practice more.

Goes down a treat passing the time away while we are waiting for the new TVR.

Sincerely hope you don’t permit spinning. That’s as annoying as all those people hurling platitudes at Beryl when they are busy PMing everyone else that she looks like a punched lasagna. biggrin

Gosh could this thread become even more dull? Pics of fruit and now whinging about how the yoof speak.
Most amazing is that some of those complaining about “yoof-speak” also known as the-natural-development-of-the-language are also those who give their cars truly tragic names ...

It's an idle Sunday evening, so forgive me for adding some more off-topic stuff: my main-ride for 95% of trips is now a bike. As in bycicle.

Found myself a beast of bike in true TVRs spirit (except i not only paid, but even ride it biggrin )



Puts a smile on your face when riding and definitely turns heads ! Pair of lycras next.

Don't forget the padded pants - that saddle will rip your backside something proper.

Not for me put I applaud your dedication to pure cycling, but......

Personally I’ve always been a car nut hence my choice of an electrified mountain bike. Great fun at half the strain. A sort of Prius of bikes......

@8Speed: it's actually not as uncomfortable as it looks, and i'm not yet mentally prepared to wear padded pants biggrin

@phazed:

mine is actually a dutch variant of a gravel bike made for racing on sand, hence the name Beachracer. Wide tyres (6cm) on the rear. It's actually an old-school mountainbike with a drop-bar. Took it on a 50 miler over roads and through the woods this weekend. Rocks.

Yours is cool, i see these quite a lot nowadays. But massive. Guess the fun ends when the power indicator goes red laugh

Wrong forum, i know, but this has helped me drop a good amount of weight and my fitness level is back to where it was 20 years ago.

Not at all. It’s one of the cheapest mods you can do to make your Tiv faster. After that, it’s polishing your head to improve aero.

I suspect they are busy trying to raise funding and to rethink their offering. It’s been said from the start that an ice offering will only last so long, having stalled for so long it’s now time for them to offer a full electric sports car.

The trouble with that is the car running currently is now at least 5 years old in terms of technology and getting more outdated as time passes and will almost certainly need to be redeveloped to stay relevant in todays rapidly changing motoring landscape.

They would almost need to miss this one out and go straight to electrification if they don't get a move on and I would imagine that is going to cost a whole lot more money that they clearly are finding difficult to attract even now, let alone looking ahead to the next year or so with all the doom and gloom surrounding the predicted economic situation we are facing.

It seems to me like they will always be chasing investment and never quite managing to get there.
Ahem.

I agree smile

Nail on head.

3 weeks offshore and didn't venture near this thread once. Came on this morning for a nose and there's 2 extra pages containing BS' tattie rack, and some reference to yank speak.

Might as well disappear again and fry some ideas in the brain wok.....

.....or the sun's shining so give the Cerb a wee 'clearing of the throat' wink

The other item Rossybee missed was the ‘annoying expressions’ thing. I’ve just read another one... microagression... never heard it before, it’s on another thread here on PH. It’s obviously a ‘thing’, it’s even on Wikipedia ffs...
