I am fed up of the whole debate and don't really want to have to read about it when I come on here. This is meant to be a pleasant distraction, for me anyway. Please.......

Dear 97,
I understand your frustration, as I no longer listen to the news, and rely on Tenths to keep me informed. This works vey well, and I recommend this tactic to you.

Who needs the Beeb when we have Delta.

PS; Parc Ferme is French. decent people should not get involved.

Gerard C · 11 Dec 2018, 19:27 (Ref:3869498)

C'on, Bobxit… You're teasing me-xit. Parc ferme is something you-xit dont want to know about. Parc fermé is French. You see? May be you mean porc ferme?

Just watched a vid basically of who wants to roast me on Theresa May abuse one after the another it was like standing in the middle of a live firing range .Incredible really reminds me of school.One thing I dont get with poilitics.I dont get any of it anyway and im sure im not the onky one.Right lets talk about motor racing...

Mike Bell · 11 Dec 2018, 19:35 (Ref:3869504)

Something else I’ve learned- The expression “The full nine yards” comes from the length of one machine gun amunition belt/chain in a P51 Mustang wing.... (Other aircraft may have had the same

)

If the pilot fired the whole amount, (42 seconds worth) he was said to have given ‘the full nine yards’.....

Had an interesting chat with a college mate about historics today talked about oc racing,moto historics nice to talk someone who actually knows a bit about historics.I was surprised about how knowledgeable he was.He's racing in the new KA series for 2019.Very jealous me .I'll have to stick with karts (for now)

.Any of you suppose I could meet and have a chat with any of you tenthers next year.

Willmaz223 · 11 Dec 2018, 21:37 (Ref:3869538)

I must admit admit a too spend a lot of time recreatinh historic meets like PA and Masters round Spa etc on Forza 7(Semi Simulator Arcade game)driving 905s XJR9s with no assists .I imagine i'm there.My dad said to me at Le Mans Classic that he didnt know I was that obsessed to m'sport.We were on the main grandstand opposite the pits at 3am watching the second races for grids 2-3.We went much to my anger just after grid 4 started.I have a obsessio with literally watching every minute because this type of racing wont be around forever so I make the most of it.Our campsite was quite a laugh.We had a little UK section of about 8 tents.The people next to us got there gazebo knicked.Oh and we found a paedo (i would use a stronger word)in the campsite showers aswell.Safe to sya he got sorted out.Any odd occurences in campsites you've seen ?

My London to Brighton involvement has only been with the historic commercial vehicle run (ie trucks & buses) but I always try to get along to the veteran car run, usually at the start in Hyde Park. Hard to beat for atmosphere.

Many people are not aware that the term "balls out" has nothing to do with anatomy.

Refers to the centrifugal governor on steam engines, I reckon?

In a blink of an eye, you've just destroyed a myth.*I was about to say Colin that driving ALL balls out is safer because of his… mechanical arrangement! Hope next bad news won't be an accident involving Santa Claus, a nice person I met several times

Colin no more bad excuses this time, the camera must be sorted out and seconded. I hope the local media will help. Will you meet E.B there?

Make her a nice cup of tea...?

Willmaz223 · 12 Dec 2018, 08:12 (Ref:3869597)

Vote of no confidence in the PM , crikey!

delta · 12 Dec 2018, 08:44 (Ref:3869605)

I recon she will stay and get over 150 votes . I’m going to tell her to send the MP’s that vote against her to send them to the dungeons .

midgetman · 12 Dec 2018, 08:46 (Ref:3869606)

Cripes and lummee, time for a Brexit update methinks.

So the head mistress went to see Mrs Merton and then Mr Junkker, Mrs Merton locked the car door but somehow the head mistress got it open.

Not even the bus fare home I'm afraid although I expect she did get a nice tea. At least as nice as Johnny Foreigner can make, I've never yet had a nice cup of tea outside these shores. It must be the water you know.

Anyway, no sooner had "Miss" turned her back than Johnson Ma and Rees-Mogg were bullying 48 boys to get Miss replaced. Mind you the way things are going I would think Miss is one of them, it can't be pleasant beng told to "clear off" in so many languages. Including Toryish.

Think you need to take her a cuppa and a kwossant, Delta.

Meanwhile we're another day closer to Brexit Day, and nothing done. Still, if the boys at Westminster Towers weren't contemplating their navels so much they'd be meddling in our affairs so we should be thankful for small mercies.

I sincerely hope not! She lacks any semblance of capability in terms of people and negotiation skills. Worst PM the country has had since Ted Heath.

Haven't they still got the spikes for their heads at the Tower of London?

A certain irony there! Do you think even worse than Gordon Brown?

I keep having a recurring vision of Macron skipping off into the sunset, hand-in-hand with May & Merkel .....then I wake up.

And all of a sudden, you realized that Macron was only here to push Merkel's wheel chair, as any minion would…

**Peter Mallett** · 12 Dec 2018, 09:54 (Ref:3869627)

I notice Macron has fallen foul of the EU budget regulations with his latest offers to appease the rioters. He's now got France into a worse position than Italy.

Gerard C · 12 Dec 2018, 10:05 (Ref:3869629)

There is a relation between historic and speed here. He went from Louis XIV and Napoleon to Louis XVI rather quickly I should admit! The guy is fast, people are furious…

I would not disagree. That has been my opinion since she end up in the job.

However does any one of the possible replacements look like a better option? And would they be able to control the rest of the unelectables now they have tasted blood?

One begins to understand why the politicians have been running the armed forces down for a few decades ...

Mike Bell · 12 Dec 2018, 12:26 (Ref:3869658)

If you want to blame anyone, blame Cameron for the mess he left! I don’t believe for one minute that Mrs May ever wanted the job.

And as for there being a more suitable candidate..........
