@BeechardRich Well it’s linguistically proven that German children are kinder

@currys Ah thanks, your team in Instagram is trying to help

@timrodie Hi there, thanks for reaching out to us. We are extremely sorry for the inconvenience caused. I will definitely check this out for you. Could you help me with your full name, full address, contact number, and order reference number so that I can assist? Thanks - DK twitter.com/messages/compo…

@currys I've a washing machine arriving today which has dropped £200 in price since I ordered it last wk. The call centre team are refusing to refund the difference… so I'm going to have to cancel the order and reorder. That seems very inefficient - can a human help me please?

@prishungry @fesshole Ah hahahah no. I reckon it’s @A1GOY or @LobAllan

@fesshole Is this your fess @timrodie ?

I'm a car journalist. At new car press conferences the companies put branded notepads on the chairs. I never take them, but it warms my heart to think about every car reviewer who's found a crudely drawn phallus in their notepad while doing an interview with a car executive.

Got the ferry for the first time in years. Turns out I’m not the only one fed up with Eurotunnel’s prices

Looking a car with ability, desirability, equipment, and a reasonable price? Here’s how to get nearly-new Ford Puma for less than £19,000 🤩 autocar.co.uk/car-news/used-…

I drove the updated-for-2024 facelifted Kia Sorento a few weeks ago. As far as 7 seaters go, it’s bloomin’ good. So good, I actually bothered writing about it: motorpoint.co.uk/car-reviews/ki… @KiaUKPR

Just got our first used BMW i5 in stock at work… £50k now, was £78420 5700 miles ago. Holy depreciation motorpoint.co.uk/vehicle-detail…

@A1GOY But it’s French! FRENCH!!! Aren’t you absolutely outraged

A successful man owns a nice top.

@ItsTomLynch They’ll employ anyone these days, but congratulations!

I did always like D:Ream

@BahnstormerTom Oh Tom… there are Facebook groups you can join

@FrontSeatPhil Are you sure that’s not a poster?!

I'm not saying that tonight's hotel is in need of an update, but the weather forecast is from February 2022...

@FrontSeatPhil You saw that reddit post too!

Wondering why car insurance costs are so high? If you have a small bump in your Lexus NX, you might need a new badge. How much would that new badge cost? Brace yourself. lexuspartsdirect.co.uk/product/lexus-…

@WeHaveWaysPod @almurray @James1940 758 at the earliest

Recording our D-Day series, what episode do you think the Allies land on the beaches? @almurray @James1940

@t2stu As soon as the wall went up they said Go West.

It’s not often I write a review of a car while also trying to man-maths my way into buying one, but the updated MX-5 has lodged itself in my brain like a vibrating gear knob. Oh look there’s my review: motorpoint.co.uk/car-reviews/ma…

Happily this isn’t an April Bollocks: hit 25k subscribers on the car channel last night with my first-ever Mazda review. Updated MX-5 should be available on prescription. youtu.be/Xn1zOACBxYM

A mildly challenging day battling driving rain, a slippery track, an anxious brain and my inability to use 207hp. Cracking day at the BMW Performance Academy being taught by @JoshBrookes (not pictured!)… 📸 @JamieMorris19

@Mufga 1800cc and furiously oversquare, please sir

@timrodie How big (cc) do you want to go with your 200bhp Boxer? I mean, everything's possible...

I *think* the Rocket 3 Storm sets a new peak torque record for a current, mass-produced, combustion-engined motorcycle at 225Nm / 166lb·ft. It's not the most torque from a production bike though - Zero's DSR/X makes 229Nm / 169lb·ft.
