The Return of Little & Large?

nice to see Gazza out enjoying himself

Good spot!

Talking of 'Ding, I Posted a few days ago to the ffect that her business has nearly been destroyed by that parsitic virus that has got into the water supply. Hence her absence from the Forum recently, I assume.

I texted her yesterday to ask if the problem had cleared itself, as her business genuinely is being imperilled by it.

She replied...."possibly the problem may be sorted by the end of the week. There is light at the end of the pipe".......!

Humour in adversity. Love it.

No idea who this is, or what that electric lead is doing. Maybe we should ask booder. (aka the kernel).

I can't imagine for a Second Bernie will bring F1 to Donnington. He says stuff to
motivate the BRDC.

Hoo-bloody-ray.

Though it's probably just brinksmanship by the oh-so-sharp Bernie. Still, we can but wish.

Maybe he's playing - if so, I hope he cashews, which I'm sure he will, as long as he stops his opponents from pecan at his cards.

This dude's a troublemaker. He had a scrap with Mike Matusow last year. He pushed him and Matusow went nuts.

Today, on Interstatre 5, Northbound, between Sahara & (?), I ran into the back of another car. I've never done that in 45 years of driving, & was devestated.

Not much damage, except to my pride & ego. I was lost, not concentrating fully - mind elsewhere - the nose-to-tail 40mph traffic jam stopped quickly, & I could not stop in time. My fault completely.

No excuses, I should have been able to stop, but the car never had Anti-lock braking, the wheels locked, & I just skidded gently into his arse. I was absolutely horrified with myself.

Other driver had no insurance, & it was not his car, & he insisted on waiting for the Police to arrive. We both rung them, but due to a misunderstanding, we were parked on the meridian strip for 3 hours, awaiting the Police. In 100f+ temperatures.

I felt so sorry for the lad, he did nothing wrong, & I ran into him, & now he's in all sorts of trouble. There were no raised voices or recriminations, I just shrugged my shoulders & apologized, & we shook hands like grown-ups.

His name was, unbelievably, Jacob Devilla-Houghtailing. Hispanic origin.

I was given a "citation" - equivelant to a Summons - a fixed-penalty job, for driving without due care, or whatever, & I have until October to pay it. I don't know how much it is, as the writing on the State of Nevada documentation is too small to read. The "Highway Patrol" man was terrific, with great people skills, & extremely polite & understanding.

Here's "my" damaged Dollar-Rent-A-Car Dodge Charger, rented by Sky for me, with stoved in drivers-side headlight. I also apologised to the Sky Suits. Boy, I was not best pleased with myself.

Dont worry Tikay

Not as stupid as i felt spinning my Ferrari 180 degrees whilst exiting a roundabout and overtaking a mini metro . Ended up facing the wrong way  with 2 wheels up on the central reservation in a big thorny bush ...to make things worse said mini metro poodled past laughing...sigh

just a quick tidbit about the luxor.

If you stand at the base and look up at night when the beam is on you will see bats......thousands of them....

[kinboshi]

Isn't it the largest atrium in the world?


From google:  The Luxor Hotel has the largest atrium in the world at 29 million cubic feet (820,000 m³).
