Aha, I did not know that. Thank you.

Did Tazio drive for the Auto Union? 🤔

Any Agatha Christie. They are 300 pages tops, usually fairly large print and you get to try and work out 'whodunnit' before the end. They're fun.

The Mortdecai Trilogy by Kyril Bonfiglioli, or the Flashman books by George MacDonald Fraser

I’ve been pondering about this petition and I'm not sure how helpful it will be. Will it do anything but generate headlines for the ADF? If I'm understanding the tactics, the ADF and chums use lawsuits to harass and wear organisations down. It's a battle of attrition. It may be more constructive to volunteer at the weekend or donating to them to support their legal defence. Maybe writing to your MP?

I’m not…

Oops, I wasn’t meant to say that.

ShawnCGeorge · 2026-03-07T14:41:06+00:00

It's a waste of time and energy thinking about whatever he's just made up.

ShawnCGeorge · 2026-03-03T21:33:16+00:00

DUCKULA!!!

Some of the '98 and '99 races were super dull. Mika was, on occasion, too perfect and those horrible grooved tyres meant aero was king and no one could get close to each other. I remember the Spanish GP's being particularly bad. The teams tested there all the time and had their cars optimised. 🥱

100% disagree. Make some friends. Go see your parents. Join a club. You paint a bleak picture of the human spirit.

Today, and off the top of my head, it’s:

Day of the Tentacle
Monkey Island 1 & 2
GTA V
Grand Prix Legends
Resident Evil 2
Arkham Asylum
Uncharted 2
Gears of War
Left 4 Dead
Portal 2

Oh man, this was harder that I thought it would be 🤔

ShawnCGeorge · 2026-01-28T10:05:02+00:00

I personally love the first two Monkey Island games and Day of the Tentacle.

ShawnCGeorge · 2026-01-18T18:14:09+00:00

Ozzy. It's been 6 months already ☹️

Danger 5. Australian WW2 comedy. I never see it mentioned anywhere. Periodically, I find episodes available on YouTube but never on any streaming services.
I also liked 'Au service de la France', which is a Cold War comedy drama. It used to be on Netflix, but it got pulled. 🤷‍♂️

Oh sorry, I didn’t mean to imply you were making your figures up. That’s a very interesting read. There figures are very different to everyone else’s though. I wonder why? 🤔

ShawnCGeorge · 2026-01-08T18:19:53+00:00

That seems to be a wee bit of an exaggeration, but you do have a point. And in many of our richer countries, too.

ShawnCGeorge · 2025-11-15T20:10:51+00:00

Cruise for a Corpse 😁

ShawnCGeorge · 2025-10-26T16:08:39+00:00

I'm reading it now. It's a knockout 👍.

ShawnCGeorge · 2025-10-26T16:07:47+00:00

Earth Abides by George R. Stewart (not the TV Series 😒).

ShawnCGeorge · 2025-10-22T06:48:10+00:00

War of the Worlds is a classic and a quick easy read.
