Who are they then, or now, or even in the future?
If you are anything like me,you'll neither know nor care.
People on Gogglebox?
I never watch it but whenever the program is talked about there's a picture like that.

Ah, no wonder I had no idea who they were. But then neither did I know of Gogglebox.

Went for a walk along the beach and found this amazing contrast between 2 different rock types.

My garden is like that, very distinct layers of red and grey clay/silt that's been compacted to stone. It's a right pig to try and dig through.

As I approached I saw huge plumes of smoke. Was the extinguishers.
Just stopped as I got there.
Going by the reg number, the bike is a year old.

Was having a tidy up in the shed yesterday (no, I daren't post in the hoarder thread
) and came across a mains multiblock. Decided to check what fuse was in the plug and found the plug base was a bit "crumbly". So, I took off the plug and easily managed to snap the plug base in half. Just goes to show that some of these plastics don't last forever.

Seen on a ride out today.
BMW R series engine with clear rocket covers. I thought you'd just see a load of oil flying about, but nope...you can see the whirry bits whirring!
Plus quite a lot of oil

And no engine protection bars?
Hmm, lots of oil and shattered plastic a real possibility.
