Petrol was £1.49.9 a gallon filling up for return journey, so knew it wasn't good news.

Reporting for duty!

If anyone needs a laugh (assuming that’s all of us!) I highly recommend the new series of Last One Laughing on Amazon. If you’ve not seen the first one you should watch that first.

But that's only $2 (US) / gallon. Do you mean per litre because that would be $7.57 / gal.

If you're only paying $2 per gallon, I'm moving to the UK!

£1.49 per litre for unleaded is common on the mainland. In Shetland it's as high as £2.10 and don't start on diesel prices everywhere.

It's appeared on the watchlist.

After Slow Horses ...

@AcrossthePond55you are correct(& I'm still half awake,, sorry!) 🥴

@logicisall we were fulling up at Newton Stewart in D&G. 100 ydd further around the corner it was only £1.43: a comparative bargain, if only we'd not just filled up. The trip was worth it though 🙂

I saw a video clip of a MAGAnaut wailing about gas being "5.70" a gallon, with the commentator pointing out that was "5.7 gallons" not "$5.70 per gallon".

Thank you for the new thread (I dip in and out occasionally, to remind myself that plenty of others are thinking the same things about this omnishambles of FantaPants and his cretinous lickspittles as I am).

My nefarious sources tell me that there’s a joke going around business and diplomatic circles in the Gulf at the moment.

Q: What’s the difference between Trump and Netanyahu?
A: One is the President of the USA. The other is married to Melania.

I wish I had something better to offer. I despair for what is happening today, and what will happen tomorrow. Nothing good. I long for the days when Trump, Vance, Hegseth and all who bray alongside them get their comeuppances. But I fear they will not happen in my lifetime. If I should meet them in hell, I promise I will wee on them.

He probably wanted it to be 5.70 a gallon so he could feel he was contributing to Trumps war.

If it was 2 bucks under Biden that was too much. Because that went on woke things.

If I had a petrol station in the US that's how I would spin it. Charge even more and hand out sticker badges. " I am doing my bit for Trump"

People injected themselves with bleach because he said so.

He's always going on about his Scot heritage.
Well here's one for you Donny boy
You're commonly known what we Scots call
A FUD.👌

Thanks for the next thread Spandauer

He can still shock me

We need to close out the old thread before posting on this one. How about doing it with music??

With regards to trump's office map of America, does it look like after Cuba it will be Mexico? He feels he has Venezuela, and then with Cuba he will have Mexico surrounded on three sides.

And then the same goal for Canada, get Greenland and then Canada is surrounded?

Am I way off? It all sounds batshit, but everything he does is.

Checking in!

When Trump shuffles off this planet we will be told to be respectful.

I mean, there is absolutely no chance of that but still…

Tempted to keep a bottle of champagne in in hope

Oh, mate. When you die the earth will spin off its axis due to the reverberations of people dancing in the streets. And absolutely nothing will be off the table as far as comments go.

It will be a fecking national holiday.

We did this in the Eng. Lit (wot I failed). Despite over 40 years in remembering all the poems, plays and short stories we did (W. Somerset Maugham, Doris Lessing, F. Scott Fitzgerald)

I can still recite "The Prelude" by heart. Which is a shame as I prefer "Westminster Bridge" which we did not read.

Perfection, of a kind, was what he was after,
And the poetry he invented was easy to understand;
He knew human folly like the back of his hand,
And was greatly interested in armies and fleets;
When he laughed, respectable senators burst with laughter,
And when he cried the little children died in the streets.

When the following people died

Ronald Reagan
Margaret Thatcher

I said "Oh".

And left it at that.

As misguided as they were, I can forgive them in they did what they thought was best for (some) of their countries. It was never for their own selfish gain - or ego.

I just heard this on the news. Dear God.
