Lichfield Dean

I mean... Don't know how true...

How did you know I was listening to Planet Rock?

It was a motorway journey and pretty clear each way, but it could be a combination of all those things. Still, can't complain, I did both the outward trip and the return trip without having to recharge during the drive, so I'm happy with that.

I'd have sent Richarlason off for that

Ok, here's a two-part conundrum for you. I drove from Brum to Devon and had 31% battery remaining, having started at 100%. The return drive, again starting from 100%, used up more battery - I have 21% left. Questions: 1) Why? Weather conditions were similar, I drove the same style wise. I know Brum is on a plateau and is therefore higher than the coastal towns of Devon, but can that really explain such a discrepancy? 2) On the way back (and this isn't the first time I've noticed this) the range estimate tracked my mileage pretty accurately from Devon to Bristol. The run from Bristol to Brum though was noticeably less efficient. Again, why. Is it more hilly and has more up-and-down-ness? Is there a difference in the road surface? Or is it windier? I find it quite curious, because it does affect how confident I am in the available mileage in the car, especially if (as in the Bristol to home run) it overestimates the range.

Predominant colour of paint jobs on planes?

Honestly no idea. But there are a lot of videos on YouTube about the various merits/drawbacks of them. The truth seems to be that they are perfectly fine watches for the price, but aren't realistically worth more than that. If you feel you really want one, and you can afford it, then by all means buy one at a premium. That's fine. Just be aware that in x weeks you may be able to get one for the rrp online.

Don't overpay! Just wait until they are available freely online. They really aren't worth any more than their rrp.

Continued on to Newton Abbot via a non motorway route, and with a detour to a play park, and *still* have 31% battery left. And to think I wasn't sure we could do Sutton to Devon in one stint. Easy peasy.

Uh-oh

Sutton Coldfield to Taunton in my Kona Electric. 50% battery usage. Very pleased with that!

If I were to build a nuclear bunker with multiple tunnels and its own ventilation etc. I'd definitely make sure to add a couple of secret escape routes. For exactly this sort of reason.

Like Boris, I think he's only doing it for his own self preservation. The Sutton Tories made a public statement against Boris and I think he has to a) stick with them to a degree and b) he can probably see that there is no way out of this for Boris, especially with more party stuff still to emerge. He certainly isn't doing it for the good of the people of Sutton.

Always liked the fine upstanding hero of Sutton Coldfield that is Andrew Mitchell (ahem)

Communication between departments seems to be the biggest issue in the NHS from my experience.

Why have Liverpool stopped scoring goals? It's not fair.

Some comments suggest it's a training video?

No, don't think so. I thought most people found Adric really annoying though...

Amazing

If only it was Kat Dennings. She has been underused in the MCU in my opinion. They sort of messed up her role in Wandavision after it looked like she was going to have an important role.

Mark Williams on at the moment. His long potting is just unbelievable. Got to be a contender this year.

Disappointing Easter special Doctor Who. Not surprising. However, the trailer for the next episode....

Struggling a bit with Picard now. It seems to have turned into an endless procession of not very exciting B stories and the main plot is getting very confused. It is somehow both too complex with too many storylines happening and simultaneously pretty dull and meandering. Further thoughts:

Loollllll. Good strike Jack.
