This is why the public sector is such a safe job, if you're worried you're running out of things to do, there's always a new government round the corner who'll get you to reverse everything you've done for the last 5/10/15 years.Quote:

I expect him and his army to cross border and take Kiev in a swift raid, just like he did in Rostov.Quote:

It's pretty well camouflaged with all the aircraft they apparently shot down on the way to Moscow and the PR damage to Putin.Quote:

I have to agree Mike, the few episodes I have watched have been pretty humourless.
I have been watching a lot of the Dry Bar Comedy channel on YouTube, some really funny comedians.
Yeah they bloody well ought to. But I saw it reported that there will be no more smart motorways started, the plans have been shelved. They'll just finish the ones they started.Quote:

I felt sorry for the driver of the attending fire engine, who must have been cursing the lack of hard shoulder as he tried to thread his ten foot wide bulk through four lanes of stationary traffic. I bet the car was a burned out shell by the time he arrived.
It was so bad it made rail travel look like an attractive option.
I saw a few car fires on my way round northern Britain last week. Maybe it is the hot weather or the fact folk are hanging onto old wrecks for longer as cost of living bites!? I fear it is only going to get worse and if you get caught in the wrong position on a "smart" motorway.:uhho:
