Mandy's Audi Q2 has averaged about 52mpg so far, but we're hoping her new car will be even better.

Although I've not done too much on the Triumph yet, it's showing 3.9l/100km so far, which isn't bad for 900cc!

Thanks, Bob. It's at the top of the castle that's in my photo for BOTM this month. The town is Gruissan, which is about 20 mins from my place.

Well, it was a pretty successful weekend entertaining our friends. The weather held for us, but it was a bit windy. Had a nice meal at our local restaurant on Saturday evening too.

Maybe the 90mpg CB500X wasn't so bad after all?

My missus fitted a set of these to her Triumph Speed Four when she had it. They were just the job!

Nice one, Bob. I used to go to Porton Down for one of my old jobs. Used to see a bit of activity around there at times! The first time I saw armed police was at the gates of the CDE, at that time the general police weren't armed!

Hope your mum has a speedy recovery, @Tym . She looks like she's got plenty left in her yet!

We've got friends from the UK visiting this weekend, so I'll be tour guide Barbie all weekend!

Yes, I've seen various people comment on Rees-Mogg shifting his money out of that Russian bank just before the sanctions were announced. Very dodgy! Unfortunately the hard of thinking are not likely to change a habit of a lifetime, Pete. Another Russian oligarchs multimillion pound yacht has been seized in Marseilles. Hopefully they'll get onto Putin and sort him out.

Didn't Anonymous also take down the Kremlin's Internet a few days back? I that Ibramovic is trying to sell Chelsea quick to get his money before the government seize it! Nice of the UK government to give him time to try to sort it out!

What do you reckon on the Hybrid? I ask because my missus should be picking up a new Yaris Cross fairly soon. We went with the 4WD version as there's no 2WD versions available until the middle of the year!

I read earlier that car charging stations in Russia were made in Ukraine and the Ukrainians still have access to them, so they've programmed them to display "Putin is a dickhead"!

Another great cover version. This time of Jethro Tull's - A New Day Yesterday.

Joe Bonamassa's version is pretty good too.

Mandy said that it's being reported that Putin's wife is heading for the nuclear shelter in Siberia. Maybe the mad twat is going to press the button!

Once the oligarchs standard of living drops due to the sanctions Putin's days will be numbered.

I read something a couple of days ago about Nostradamus' predictions. They're suitably vague enough that almost anything can be read into them. Dunno about Baba Vanga. Covid was unable to thin the population sufficiently, so Mother Nature will need to try something else!
