Saw that Paddington the Musical is coming, thought oooh maybe we should go as a family of 5 to see a musical, something we've never done before. Looked at the price of tickets... Even the cheapest (with shit view) tickets would be 5x£25, then at least another £125 on train. Yeah, maybe not.

All Blacks officially shaking in their boots

15 year old noticing the Scotland vs USA score (57 - 0 currently). "Oh, is there no mercy rule?" Ha, no, not at this level son. @scottishrugbyblog.co.uk

The other parents are wondering why I’m taking pictures of an Arbarth with a fancy paint job while trick or treating. #WeirdCarBS

A dad has provided lubrication for trick or treating. Excellent.

It’s that time of year when I complain about how they don’t do Halloween properly in England. I’ve tried to get the kids to do it like we do in Scotland but sadly no. Once did have a fellow Scot open the door and the boy got to tell a joke, but only once.

Some new light breakfast reading. #WeirdCarBS

In a break from our usual programming of car pictures. It’s time to geek out at Dark Matter Day at Oxford Uni. Excellent @xkcd.com references. And a live stream walk through of the detectors in America. 🤓

The @natlmotormuseum.bsky.social, Beaulieu has a criminal 81 followers on here at the moment, so why not give them a follow if you'd like more cars on your timeline? bsky.app/profile/natl... #WeirdCarBS #CarSky #CarBluesky Image of the #Humber Imperial at the museum for attention.

Haha what? Has the England rugby coach finally snapped? Or has the influx of rugby league coaches leading to death of positions? On the first point as a Scotland fan, hopefully 😂, on the second point...please I hope not. @scottishrugbyblog.co.uk @scotrugbypod.bsky.social

My lovely sister sent me this gif after seeing my hoodie. Technically I have the car till March.

I’ve been a F1 fan since a teenager and I discover today that I share a birthday with Bernie??

It’s finally my birthday so I can officially wear my birthday hoodie. Managed to sneak a selfie without my wife catching me. BEHOLD.

@garrettc.social Happy Birthday, birthday brother.

I have a very bad feeling about this...

Took the youngest to his first ever Pokémon TCG club this morning. Such fun, so well run by the local games shop, surrounded by his people. All free and came away with so much Pokémon swag. The Pokémon scene seems very nice.

It’s a scene from the latest Cars movie I’m sure. Look at it. It’s so happy.

Not your usual pub car park spot. #WeirdCarBS

Remember a few weeks back I said that I’d just written up one of the maddest cars I’d ever seen? Well the listing is finally live on Pistonheads and, trust me, you want to dip into this one… www.pistonheads.com/buy/listing/...

Looking at houses I'll never buy tonight and WELL HELLO a Brooklands Capri in the garage. Does it come with the property? www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/1...

More than one camera cut per second in this amazing sequence

I fear we have reached peak Hollyoaks

The post-Winamp era of computing is straight up dogshit.

It was all going so well today. Boy2 had done most of the work to get the radiator out, get the fan pully out etc. Putting it all back together was fine as well. Then I came in to provide the muscle to tighten the fan belt. And this happened. Off to look at recondition alternators. 😭

Me and boy 2 have made it into Practical Classic. We had a chat with the editor at Rustival @hubnut.bsky.social

I went to see a man about angle grinding this off for me. We saw his weird cars in his shed. #WeirdCarBS

From FB: 🤣 #Amiga40th

Spotted this neglected Austin America in Wheatridge. It was an automatic, didn’t know that was a thing. #weirdcarbs

Watching the Sumo Wrestling on the BBC. It's finished, currently a bloke is wiggling a big stick, slapping his knees while the crowd go WHOOO

Was chatting to a Dad at football about one of the coaches, he said "I think he played for Oxford, let me google" read out his history from his phone. The AI Summary. I've come home tonight and checked properly, cause AI, and yup all made up. Merged multiple people together to create a fact.

THIS MOMENT DESERVES A BAFTA #CelebrityTraitors

Do you like to watch cars go broom broom while driving around in circles? Then I highly recommend you watch the last 10 laps from this weekend's Bathurst 1000. MEGA

Nobody is born a great engineer. Great engineers are forged in the fires of experience -- year after year of compounding challenges and opportunities. Does your org frustrate the pursuit of greatness, or unlock and accelerate it? For whom? And then yes: shipping is the mechanics of learning.

We need a timeline cleanse. Post a photo of the sun. This is sunset, Lake Michigan.

My 15 year old requested a fry up as an end of term treat He tried to convince Mum to go to Weatherspoons (Grandpa says it's good) she convinced him Waitrose Live texts: "No breakfast at Waitrose, going to Wetherspoons" "Omg we are in Wetherspoons, with old men with missing teeth drinking beer."

The 15 year old has just WhatsApped this to me. That's m'boy.

The problem with kids who play rugby in England is that I've had to register with the English RFU, and I have to put up with getting emails from them. GET IN THE SEA. FREEEEEDOM....

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

It's ok to not be ok. There's a lot happening. Most of it is pretty awful. Be kind. Be patient.

The village over had a new car show this year, sadly, I turned up after most of the 75+ cars had left due to kiddo sport in the morning. The Alvis was the star of the show, and it was perfect. The paint on the Rover 45 was lovely, so shiny, well looked after. #WeirdCarBS

Spotted at the local car show. Anyone fancy a Maxi? #WeirdCarBS

I've got a new hoodie (thanks Mum) that my youngest says makes me look 10 years younger, my wife says she won't be seen in public with me wearing it, and my middle kids says only wear it at car shows with other weirdos. I'll do a selfie with it on soon. Maybe. When my wife isn't looking. 🧀🚗

sherman, for the love of god!

Release Day. My new single “Camelot” is now available from all the internet’s musical places. It’s the B-side of a 7-inch record slated to drop on Nov 4th, but available for preorder….right now. *Triumphantly fires cap gun towards sky, immediately apologizes to upstairs neighbor* store.doomtree.net

You’ll be surprised what the Student Loan interest rate really is! How much it really costs, and why you may not pay it…

If I cringe any harder at the Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp's stand-up comedy routine, I may fold in on myself, collapsing into a PSR-J0952–0607-style neutron star of vicarious embarrassment. ~AA
