The Pet Shop Boys Christmas # 1 in 1987, “Always on my Mind”, was an absolute pile of steaming ordure, an insult to the writers, Johnny Christopher, Mark James, and Wayne Carson, and to the artists who made a fantastic job of it, notably Brenda Lee, Elvis Presley, and Willy Nelson.

Age notwithstanding, what about this factor? Compare current tyre dimensions with those preceding them. For example, an MGB on 185s would be thought well under tyred now.
Bigger contact patch = more water to shift = greater risk of aquaplaning. And cars aren't getting heavier, quite the reverse in many instances.
What I've been told, not sure how true this is, is that the contact patch size is primarily a function of vehicle weight divided by tyre pressure. So if it weighs 1500 pounds and the pressure on all four wheels is 30 psi then the contact patches are near enough 50 sq inches altogether. If the tyres are wider then they 'flatten' less so the contact patch is wider but shorter. It could be that the back of the contact patch is on dryer road so has more grip.Bigger contact patch = more water to shift = greater risk of aquaplaning. And cars aren't getting heavier, quite the reverse in many instances.

People that come to your home and complain about your dog.
He's part of the family, you're just a visitor and can f
k right off again
A dog is an animal, not part of a human family. He's part of the family, you're just a visitor and can f
k right off againI find it hard that visitors don't get that.

People who stay for a week and bring their dog which:
a) means the resident elderly cat has apoplexy and is exiled to live in a shed
b) is moulting so badly when it gets out of their car on arrival shakes there’s a complete cloud of hair across the drive
c) doesn’t appear to be walked or exercised beyond opening a door
d) sts all over the garden due to c)
e) coats the complete house in hair, literally, and when politely given a dog brush the owners don’t use it or get the hint
f) the owners seem oblivious to a) to e)
....then my unpopular opinion is that despite the dogs (and owners) age/ill health and other factors they should all fk off home or at least make a cup of tea instead of sitting around being waited on hand and foot.

I would say these are just “irresponsible dog owners” rather than just “dog owners” in general a) means the resident elderly cat has apoplexy and is exiled to live in a shed

You've got to love the great brainwashed public.
People who say “the great brainwashed public” are simply unable to argue coherently against opions they disagree with. It makes them appear inferior rather than superior.Edited by Front bottom on Monday 24th December 02:51

My preferred radio station on GTA V is Non Stop Pop 
a couple of the songs really aren't great but they are at least songs I've heard of.
Nothing like blasting down Vinewood Boulevard, avoiding the incessant shelling from a bellend in one of those fking jet engine motorbikes, while listening to Bronski Beat.
