Quite an unfortunate place to drift off into an ellipsis.

Oddly my only memory of the brand is of some gravelly voiced ad about Duckham’s Hyper Grade. Unlike Valvoline.

Did you remember to take off the PR agency’s contact details before you published?

The OP included it in their list. Mine was simply a light hearted addendum. Personal interpretation may vary. Hope you have a good day.

Well, the happiest of birthdays to you! And since it is a special one you can have an extra point for naming which lubricants magnate paid for the memorial?

The fact that Jones is completely unbothered by the dismemberment of Brett is probably the most realistic thing in it.

Great. I’ve discovered Alien is on BBCThree. Now I have to stay up and finish it.

Bored I tried to ‘watch’ some sort of lightweight documentary on the PlayStation on Amazon Prime. The content was standardly uninspiring but the sound was dreadful. Need to a free text field not a ‘Don’t Like’ button.

Sure we can jam Star Wars in there also? Or have the mind rubbers worked fully on The Phantom Menace?

I RECENTLY bought a new
laptop which, to my surprise,
was made by HP. This must be
a really progressive company to
diversify from producing baked
beans, soup and tomato sauce
to making computers. Their
competitors should take a leaf out
of HP's book and get busy. Maybe
we could see new gadgets like a
Fray Bentos Fitbit, Batchelors
Bluetooth Earbuds or even a Mr
Kipling Raspberry Smartphone.

Any memory of who the support act were?

This is a very important story in the context of Nigel Farage’s publicly expressed - if apparently unconnected - admiration for Putin and other links with a regime that only wants to harm our country.

Clearly. Are those burkhas on the two figures in the all-too-sharp background?

I feel like it has shades of the garage - they like to assert a degree of expertise over you - but also the hobbyist who are horrified that you don’t know (or care) about all the things that you are doing wrong with that front sprocket.
