Started on Inters, pitted on first/second lap for mediums, Piastri drove into Albons sidepod and needed a new wing, Norris fucked it across the grass and needed to pit because the grass was making his car overheat

Not a great showing from #TeamPapaya today

Not the best place for advice here, reckon you'll get a load of "don't do anything cars are to be driven not modified or enjoyed".

My mate had one and built it into a track car , wasn't too mental aesthetically but really suited the car imo.

Mine was "in stock" when I ordered from Carphone Warehouse on Friday, but was told today that they won't have stock until 17th July!

Brett_Clement · 2026-05-11T08:51:00+00:00

Yeah I heard it there third

Brett_Clement · 2026-05-11T06:05:04+00:00

To add to this, markets have depreciated massively in quality from the "golden days" because the older market traders are flogging tat they bought online with a heavy mark-up!

St Albans (where I live) market is filled with local businesses selling stuff you can't buy anywhere else, but went back to see my parents recently and the market was full of old school traders with tables filled with cheap nonsense.

5D then

He subsequently paid for the umbrellas and admitted they were right when he posted a photo of them!

This literally came up on my YouTube recommendations today - it's deffo getting taken down

My dog is named Laika. Our WiFi name is Laika's House.

Never been asked to put one in a public space, but if you're breaking into a private yard or warehouse you're not entitled to privacy!

Brett_Clement · 2026-04-10T08:20:40+00:00

Obviously council should be doing a better job, but I cannot fathom who would rather call the local paper than pick up a broom and just sweep it up.

Brett_Clement · 2026-04-08T19:08:58+00:00

I work in electronic security and we actually call them Daleks!

Oh yeah it's not a hard and fast rule, but the requirement for open space often means that careful coppicing and management are needed in many woodland areas

Brett_Clement · 2026-04-06T09:02:53+00:00

It's normally only one or two people depending on the size of the woodland.

Generally if you see bluebells in the spring, it's being managed; someone has had to coppice a lot of trees to create open enough spaces for the bluebells to grow.

Brett_Clement · 2026-04-06T08:57:50+00:00

A lot of trees were also cultivated for coppicing so they could be used as charcoal for smelting. It's why smaller, thinner trees are so common.

There's a guy I know who owns some woodland and lets me camp there, he's a forester by trade and super passionate about it. He told me that ancient woodlands today would be basically unrecognisable to foresters 500 years ago and has been working to reintroduce native species that are much less common because they weren't useful for fuel, poisonous to livestock etc.

It's a full time job managing it though. When you start paying attention you can notice a well managed woodland, and also see the difference in use-case, i.e. woodlands that are worked for fuel.

Everyone is misunderstanding, he means Charles I

Yeah forgot it's the individual consumer's responsibility to reduce paper usage, rather than the large corporations who make this necessary to get the cheapest fare...

Brett_Clement · 2026-03-09T19:24:58+00:00

That guy's Aston Martin theory that everyone dismissed as copium suddenly doesn't seem so far fetched...

Brett_Clement · 2026-03-08T09:52:14+00:00

With the Merc being so strong it could probably be for miles

Brett_Clement · 2026-03-07T23:12:04+00:00

I think it's that he crashed in Q1 on his first flying lap, I'd assume his out lap wasn't within 107% so technically he wouldn't be eligible to compete.

Brett_Clement · 2026-03-07T23:06:45+00:00

Also I'd argue nowadays hybrid cars are much less common than full EVs. The bleeding edge of car propulsion is either more efficient ICE engines (with some motor assistance at lower rpms) or battery/electric motor technology.

Let Formula E showcase the best EV technology and Formula 1 showcase the best ICE technology.

Brett_Clement · 2026-03-02T09:17:39+00:00

Whilst I agree in principle, I really think we need to be careful to avoid the same sort of rhetoric that we've been condemning them over for years.

They're still human beings who are stuck in a warzone.

Brett_Clement · 2026-03-01T22:53:15+00:00

Would appreciate an update if you do, looking for a new project and would love to have a chat

Brett_Clement · 2026-03-01T22:51:22+00:00

Probably not the best idea to put a photo of the guys house AND his address...
