The 5 series are a lovely design, I'd choose an Estate/Touring version.
These crossovers have good driving vision but they ain't pretty.
I saw a stunningly beautiful car yesterday on a 6 hour drive, passing it as it joined the motorway, slowed to let it pass and followed it for 10 miles:
Aston Martin DB11 coupe in a silvery duck egg blue.
(I know the model as the numberplate was DB11 GGG) Special paint job as I think the roof was also light blue, reminding me of a classic e-type.
38,001, despite a 'you are here' pointer to Denver on one photo
.
Got a Quebec photo completely wrong.
Real fun to play.
Fun, I scored 44,597/50,000
So is Trump(CF) acting as a dictator?
Is he a dictator?
I can't understand how one man can stop your DoJ, Congress & Senate following legal process. The investigation and prosecution of criminal offences is surely separate from Presidential administration?
Funny, I was just looking at what remains of Pianofacts.
Trying ( and failing) to find a thread started by a tuner, 'The best piano'
Anyone recall it? there were rules, it had to be family friendly, so affordable, upright?
Was the winner a £3k Yamaha?
Morals, who needs 'em.
Great video
Trump's soapbox
Pedant It ought to be couldn't but informally now both are used.
I should amend my would to wouldn't but shan't.
You would if you had to stand on a lectern to conduct with the score on the podium.
Lectern from the Latin, lectrum, to read.
Podium (low raised speakers platform) and rostrum (higher stage for performers) also get mixed up.
I think the main thing to remember is that Trump(CF) promised, indeed campaigned on the promise, that when president he would release all of the Epstein investigation files.
Did he break his word?
Did he, once in power, actively prevent the release?
Can we be certain given his power, all the documentation has been released?
Amazing colours
While butter, milk, eggs and decent bread are pricey, chocolate has soared in price, or been downsized.
Toblerone was as low as £8/kg last Christmas, and averagedmaybe £12/kg.
I just saw a toblerone at £20/kg
.
A cost at which I'd be expecting fancy handmade Irish or Belgian delights!
@bachophile said in Change at the beeb:

BBC director general and CEO of news resign.
Trump(CF) is actually a fortnight too late to sue the BBC. The programme was shown only in the UK and over a year ago.
Resignations done, they ought to apologise for the embarrassingly sloppy slander and move on.
You lucky folk, the cost of living increase in the UK is very noticeable.
Basic things, electricity, gas, water and food shopping, all just keep going up in price.
Officially inflation is 4%; but food costs have rocketed and utilities must be up 10% or more.
Nice video.
I have to admit though, I can think of only one GL song:
If you could read my mind.
Btw, quote was John Paul 2nd.
Politicians are human, we saw it in the expenses scandal when fewer than 5 weren't screwing the system for anything from a packet of hobnobs to a Duck House for a lake.
So with bribery, blackmail and back stabbing we had Mr Bumblinghair don't really care, followed by Mrs Ego hasnoclue gotta go, and Mr Smugbold its all about my gold.
You at least get vice-potus, but then imagine the crapshoot until the next election.
The Panorama editors ought not have run the two phrases together as one, no doubt.
Trumps reaction, a threatened one billion lawsuit. He has the morals of an alley cat; convicted of sexual assault (and accused by some 30 other people of much worse), convicted of tax fraud, of falsifying business accounts.
Yes the UK needs to further change our monarchy, House of Lords and honours systems. It is a centuries old institution that was imposed by force.
You are truly privileged in the USA to have a fair electoral system that includes the collective choice of a person worthy to lead.
We don't, so the UK recently had Brown, Johnson, Truss, Sunak, none of whom won a general election yet were PM's.
In an obscure poetry book called Tide Lines (1988) acquired recently, the introduction has a quote by probably the most famous person & leader then living; the eloquent words go to the heart of things:
"I feel inspired to say this to you... surely the time has come for our society to realise that the future of humanity depends as never before, on our collective moral choice... humanity must make a moral about-face... Ladies and gentlemen, it is for you now to take up this noble challenge"
Forty years on, how are we doing with that collective moral choice?
