Watch that monobloc crumble with the weight of the behemoth.
Do these things actually weigh more than a G wagen? About 2.5 tons?

I have a F31 330d xdrive. It's good at being a reasonably fast, reasonably practical, reasonably cheap to run, reasonably compact family car. It is not however, the ultimate driving machine.
I'd get a 530d if easy parking in bays isn't a requirement. The F31 is not that refined IMO.

The young lads keeping it Mexico..

What is everyone's Friday fash?
No point in pics here - head to toe in Uniqlo - navy Q popper fleece, navy thermal T, elderly straight blue selvedge jeans (no turnups), barefoot.

Maybe this is the future direction of this thread - reportage phone photos (from the mini-magnum) of design led fashion cliches. It's possibly even more interesting than the Italian fashion event snaps.
There is so much to unpack in that single image.

Doric for hat but I find it quite descriptive for this kind of thing (with the weird strap at the back)..![]

Public bar, railway carriage, car, bookmakers - YES
Saloon bar, office, home - NO
Grey areas would be lobbies or other liminal spaces.

The absolute worst is the wearing of one of those small touries whilst consuming small plates.

Also what's with the current millennial male thing for baseball caps? When they let me out at weekends, I see all the nouveau baldheads in the wrong sort of cafe are wearing them inside and out.

Clothes for living (though secretly pissed off that city lads can do MHL at work now and they can't afford it)

That Paynter vibe of a smug architect cunt on his day off can fuck right off.

The flowers in the attic..

To echo above comments....

You are not fat
That looks great

This feels like a real shame that the theme is making you not want to attend, what should be a fun event with your colleagues.

First they come for your 40k kitchen..

Sadly this was inevitable as our overlords attempt to exert further control.

Meades getting stuck into the centrist cunt's centrist cunt..

The use of the terms legal and illegal for immigration is really disingenuous. Someone claiming asylum after they cross the channel in a small boat has done nothing illegal at that point. They have just claimed asylum as is their right under international law.

There are over 500k civil servants in the UK. Then the NHs and the other services.
Then the wholly funded quangos and NGO third sector grifters.

Just for starters (all capital projects up here in Ecosse)...

The new ferries
The Scottish parliament building
The Edinburgh trams

I reckon that lot is close to a billion over the budget and I'm not even trying.

Lots of flags

No. Paying more tax will just encourage the grifters.

Fat Dave..

None of us wants Syria to become like Libya next door

*“There’s a kind of balance to be had, because sometimes you get: ‘Well, you never see her,’ or: ‘She’s only doing that for a photo opportunity.’ So you try and strike the right balance between letting people know what you’re doing and where you are.
And then there’s others that will then criticise and say: ‘Well, you’re just trying to project an image of what you’re doing.’ So it’s trying to strike the balance between the seriousness of: ‘Here’s me, this is what I’m doing.’ ”

If you can do the ski, row, run thing in an hour.. I think you're fine!

I think the garmin metrics are pretty much bollocks for reasonably fit people. They are aimed IMO at fat bastards getting off the couch.

That just sounds like an excuse for cheeky halves every weekend..

That's really awful. She was someone who reinvigorated this forum with a fresh eye for bikes and culture. Funny as fuck too.
