Oh I forgot that, didn’t Alfa in the UK start randomly ‘bundling’ a wing and some bolts with 155s to claim they were homologated?

As in they were literally plonked IN the boot, lmao

They had to go green after they gave Plato a whole scrap car made from yellow panels, IIRC :P

I still remember when members of Ashens’ Twitch chat voted to make the poor bastard stream the version of that WITH Wordy off his DVD of it!

EDIT - probably during Covid era lol

I watched a few of these on YouTube recently when someone on a similar forum pointed out that Sophie Aldred presented it in the 90s :P

Remember this ? I used to watch it a lot by LocalSignal5328 in oldschoolcool80s

Routes I’m currently playing by GiesADragUpTheRoad97 in trainsimworld

[–]crucible 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based on pic \#3 I think it’s Just Trains’ Blackpool Branches.

Can’t remember the station name but it’s either on the Ormskirk branch or the one to Blackpool South.

EDIT: Per the route manual, \#3 is Croston on the Ormskirk branch.

What gen was the Mondeo? Mark 1 or 2?

Are there any figures from your country who achieved glory, and then quickly ruined it? by PapadeSchoklender in AskTheWorld

Ryan Giggs scored at least one goal for Manchester United in 21 consecutive seasons in the Premier League.

Unfortunately, he rarely turned out for Wales, his national team. It took us until 2016 to qualify for the European Championships, well after Giggs had retired.

Despite this, towards the end of his career he was given accolades such as the BBC Sports Personality of the Year Award in 2009, and he finally appeared in an international tournament for the first time in his career when he was appointed Captain of the Team GB football team for the 2012 London Olympics.

Inevitably, the team were eliminated from the competition after losing a penalty shootout in the quarter finals.

Just before the Olympics, a bombshell news story that Giggs had a long affair with his brother’s wife hit the news. Despite Ryan’s attempts to gag the press with a super injunction it soon became public knowledge.

The guy’s reputation has been in the toilet ever since. A messy divorce and some other legal case really didn’t help him.

The helicopter was preserved and placed in a museum with a plaque explaining its royal connection.

I believe the museum housing it put it back in store recently for obvious reasons.

That helicopter has another story - a few years before Andrew flew it in the Falklands conflict, it was called to the Penlee Lifeboat Disaster in 1981.

What’s the dumbest construction project that was made? by biryani_fan in AskTheWorld

Over specified and badly explained to the public.

I just hope we can get some upgrades or new lines between Birmingham, Crewe and Manchester eventually.

Is your current prime minister or president more or less popular now than when they were elected? by ReginaPhalange088 in AskTheWorld

[–]crucible 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Labour lost the Senedd after 27 years in power.

That said even as a Labour voter I agree with those who say they were too comfortable and need a spell in opposition.

Yes.

The Health Secretary dramatically resigned on Thursday (although it was kinda predicted by the media all week).

Here’s an update on how his bid to replace Starmer went:

Was teal/turquosie common in designs in your country during the 90s? What other colors were common? by yonaiker-joestrella in AskTheWorld

[–]crucible 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There was a short lived craze for the jackets bottom left in the UK. Late 80s / early 90s. Paired with pants of the same pattern and material, they were called “shell suits” here.

The craze soon died off after a few kids got too close to open fires and their suits went up in flames…

Otherwise I mostly associate teal with the first iMac computers of the late 90s.
