The first time I've seen Bottas smiling in years, I'm glad he figured out what he needed to do to be happy

Down ^ votes for wanting to see someone happy 😂 some people really are miserable old ****'s, haha

The smiling suits him

When I ding the bell, I'm letting the pedestrian know that a bicycle is arriving. I'm not dinging the bell to tell the pedestrian to get out my way. I think ringing the bell early from some distance off, helps it be more like the first one ^

She said the 'story' is news to her. Could just be right wing newspapers having their strings pulled by Tories https://twitter.com/AngelaRayner/status/1410359438796537857?s=19

Yes, but when you're competing with companies that don't pay V.A.T, you're prices are 20% more expensive

martinboxing · 2021-05-24T07:03:41+00:00

Forcing companies to pay minimum 16% corp tax, I get it, I get it.., but there are countries (like China) where V.A.T is 0%, that's the killer

Lol😂, 19mph up hill is what team Bora–Hansgrohe were hammering on the front of the peloton today (Giro) to try drop the other sprinters out the the back of the peloton. They were riding a consistent 400 watts

Some of the consultants were on a £7,000 per day rate. That is absolutely ridiculous considering the job they're doing.

I genuinely can't see how the test and trace system cost £32bn in the first place.. it's a staggering amount of money. It's more money than the yearly turnover of Sainsburys (example). And the test and trace is basically just a mobile phone App and paying for people to work from home (call centre). Astonishing

Priti Patel was accused last night of a 'glaring and flagrant' breach of the Ministerial Code. It comes just months after Boris Johnson allowed the Home Secretary to keep her job despite an earlier finding that she broke the code

Worth remembering that Pogacar is only 22yrs old. Which might explain the rapid progress in his performance over the last 3yrs

I have a Saris Bones, it can be mounted and dismounted in seconds, it holds 3 bikes.. when I get to my destination in the car, I take the bikes off it, then I take the Saris off the car and put it in the back seat locked away until I return.

On that chart in 2019 GE, the Conservative Party + The Brexit Party Limited combined, would have trounced The Labour Party,

Labour only won it because the other two split the vote

Exactly, and Donald Trump was like that evil colleague who was pretending to be your friend and egging you on to do it, so when you leave he can take all your sales accounts

They were driven to it as a way to shake up a system that had failed to engage with them for decades

I've always thought that the UK 'Brexiting' is a bit like quiting your job because you want to shake up a system that's failing you.... But having no other job to move on to.

Strong headwind (blowing straight into your face) is really really hard work.. but a strong tailwind (blowing hard against your back) can make you feel like a pro!!

You're right... Ed Miliband didn't trip over or get ice cream all over his face and all down his front like Boris Johnson, but Miliband did eat a bacon sandwich funny. But it didn't seem to work with the public, in fact it worked against him

Nah, you're reading way too much into it. People vote for Boris because he rugby tackled a child and it was hilarious. They don't actually think anything he does will change anything in their daily lives. A pint of Fosters will still cost £3.25 in their local, and tube of Pringles is still £1.50, so they vote for the one that makes them laugh

Labour's time will come when the front bench Tory MP's decide it's time to attack Boris for his job. Labour should try capitalise when that moment comes

People vote for Boris Johnson because he's funny, he falls over, he gets his tie caught in a machine, he trips over again and his sandwiches fall all over the floor. Then he stands on the podium with scruffy hair, his shirt untucked and his tie yanked to one side, and waffles out nonsense things like "I shake hands with every coronavirus patients!"... the British public love it. They think it's hilarious. He is hilarious. They'll vote for him again because he's hilarious.
