    Things in living memory which seem very anachronistic now

    In the pre-motorway era, having to drive through every town centre on a car journey.

    Would you still buy a Tesla in the light of Elon Musk's contributions to the British political scene?

    I hear that to repair some of the bad PR, Musk is renaming the company to Hitler Motors.

    Paris 2024 Olympics

    Mrs Distant has given up on it - we've got Gardeners' World on iPlayer.

    Right to freedom of speech in court & elsewhere

    Can we stop calling these incidents "protests"? They're blockades, not protests.

    Worldwide IT Outage (Crowdstrike update)

    Feeling pretty lucky typing this on MacOS!

    The 2024 US presidential election.

    This. The election's already over, and NATO needs to start preparing now for the US withdrawing support from Ukraine.

    The 2024 US presidential election.

    Even reading about this gaffe, I think I'm going to die of embarrassment.

    Rishi Sunak: How good was he as Prime Minister?

    Plenty has already been said about his time as Prime Minister, but I think his election campaign gives him a good chance of him winning the BAFTA for Best Male Comedy Performance.

    UK General Election 2024

    I see Rishi Sunak has cast his vote. Although he's been so inept, it was probably for Labour.

    What method do you prefer to use to vote?

    Despite being someone who's done everything where possible online - in person. While you're just scrawling a cross in a box, what you're doing has the potential to have far reaching consequences.

    UK General Election 2024

    This is off topic, but is anyone else like me - every time you hear "Clacton" you automatically think "Class 309"? And they came into service twenty years before I was even born, and I'm about 160 miles away!

    UK General Election 2024

    I bet Kier Starmer can't believe his luck. Collectively, his opponents are just so stupid.

    Shortest UK car number plate you've seen

    5K, a few weeks back. Mercedes-Benz. I think.

    UK General Election 2024

    The NHS logo on the property next door didn't come into use until 1999, which is surely well after the time period in question.

    Prime Minister on Night Riviera (28/05)

    If this had have been my loco, he'd have been ordered out of there in no uncertain terms. Politicians of any colour have no place in the cabs of trains, IMHO.

    Motorway Driving - too many idiots

    For some good illustrations of the above, try the YouTube channel Just Rolled In.

    Rishi Sunak and the Conservative Party.

    I bet the politicians wading into this nonsense were fawning all over Stella McCartney's designs for Team GB in 2012 - and she did something very similar.

    Competition to name one of the Class 150s on the Marston Vale Line announced

    I'm going with "⦻COND", but I don't think they'd see the funny side.

    The "And in other news..." thread

    I worked on the Log Flume in the late 90s. Once he gets the boat home, five arm wrestling types in it should be enough to stop it floating away. Don't ask how I know!
