The #Last747 just couldn’t resist coming back for one last pass. A very sedate Go Around as it went off to draw the coolest 747 logo with crown in the sky. Goodbye old friend. 😪 #last747 #Boeing747 #boeing #AtlasAir #aviation #avgeek

Fuel duty to go up by 12p a litre 🥵 Wasn’t mentioned in the Commons today but can be found on Page 57 of 68 of the OBR’s report: obr.uk/docs/dlm_uploads/CCS0…
I know posting cars is basically illegal here but driving the ol’ girl around is as good as a pootle on the motorbicycle! Aircon, the plushest leather seats/armchairs…none of that bucket seat crap and no other car wants to get into a scrap with 2 tonnes of West German steel 😂

Public broadcasting and journalism are dying breeds. @Channel4 is funded through its own commercial activists and not the taxpayer, yet the government is proceeding with privatisation 🙄
They asked for ‘a debate’; 90% of submissions in that debate said it was a bad idea. But still they go ahead. Why do they want to make the UK’s great TV industry worse? Why? It makes no business, economic or even patriotic sense. theguardian.com/media/2022/a…
Does anyone else get side-eye when exchanging a tatty 20 year old ‘bag for life’ at the supermarket? 😅

Interesting car of the day: Mercedes-Benz SL73 AMG with a 7.3 litre V12 producing 525 bhp with 553 lbs/ft 😯 Same engine that ended up in the Pagani Zonda! Tickle your fancy @kinkypimp? carthrottle.com/post/w6b52zb…

Just had my Pfizer booster. Crazy how fast 6 months has flown! Not caught COVID so far…hopefully this gets me through sneezing season 🤧 #boosterclub Asked if I could switch to a Moderna booster (which they did check) but the preference is to continue with the same vaccine.

Just saw a fuel tanker pull up at a petrol station…cars are swarming around like flies on shit 🙄 This is what happens when you feed a population a diet of news from Facebook and WhatsApp 😂 I would suggest reading the FT every now and the but the words are too long for most!

Browsing Twitter was once an interesting place to observe events as they unfolded. In this post-truth era, each time I open the app I’m deafened from the baying din of opinionated novices. I remember a time when we used to aspire to better ourselves as a species 🙄

Overhead at the dump: Lead is not metal so where do I put it? [Then proceeds to argue to the point] 😂🙄

Over the last 7 days Im back to driving 1500+ work miles in a week, and can report the levels of middle lane hogging and outside (fast) lane dawdling are at EPIC levels. If I undertake the 65mph fast lane user on an empty Mway I risk a fine, is a rocket launcher acceptable?

How is every car manufacturer out there suddenly producing electric cars after years of telling us the technology is not going to be mature enough for a long while 😂 I’ve also come to accept I’m a Luddite and will stick with my Mercedes-Benz pre-90s V8s 😂
