Not wasting my time trying to decipher whatever nonsense you're spewing, if you're not going to be polite enough to use a capital fucking letter.

23 hours, 35 minutes down.

Gap between the top two: 0.193 seconds.

Come on Jack. Anyone but Penske.

Contemplating getting shot of the Africa Twin. It's too heavy for me & I just don't like the DCT.

Not sure what comes next, though. Always wanted the 1250RT, but that's even heavier.

Toying with going back to a Street Triple for practicality, but love the Ducati Supersport and XSR900.

Your courtesy reminder that the first big race of 2026 is about the start.

Who can forget Tommy Milner flipping Farfus the bird at 170mph last year?

In the UK, you can watch the #Daytona24 on IMSA's YouTube channel for free.

"We have never needed them."

The next time the US goes to prosecute a bullshit illegal war, I sincerely hope they have to do it alone.

Because they'll have no allies whatsoever. It's time Europe turned its back on the US.

Have at it, Bluesky.

I'll give you a start: we all know the answer to the first one is eight.

Today has been miserable. There have been tears.

I'm tired of everything being rubbish all the time.

Cat as sympathetic as always.

Great 10 minutes about Operation Mincemeat on BBC World Service today.

Ben Macintyre's book of the same name is also a bloody good read.

Found pawprints in my garage. Whoever it was is long gone, but I love this.

Why the fuck are we allowing anyone from the US to address Parliament?

It is clear they are the enemy of what we stand for. They do not deserve any platform, let alone such a prestigious one.

Not sure what's a worse advert for football. Players acting like spoiled children and leaving the pitch in protest at a penalty, or the actual penalty.

I'd have taken a better penalty, and I think they're playing with the wrong shaped ball.

Shocking.

Getting so fed up with iRacing. I've been a member since 2008, and I've never seen driving standards this bad.

People just running you off the circuit or trying to drive through you like you're not there. It is absolutely abysmal racecraft and I'm not enjoying it in the least.
