It was definitely worth signing up to a deserted message board to say that.

We are still here. We are still always watching. We are merely ever more jaded and apathetic. Those pints owed are still owed.

A little more action would be nice though.

Did Gandalf scare everyone off?

He scared Black Wizard off, and everyone else just can't be bothered

Let's see if Gandalf's still around shall we - GANDALF IS A FASCIST, GANDALF IS A FASCIST, GANDALF IS A FASCIST.

Whilst I still love my car, it's been a complete money black hole this entire year.

First it got rear ended and needed the entire amount of money I got from the insurers to fix it. Next, the shocks needed replacing, which Bilstein refused to have in stock - cue a desperate call to a motorsport company who recommended a cheaper set comparable to the B6s that are fitted to my model.

The aircon system stopped working over summer, which was attributed to a leak in the pipes. That was fixed, but still no aircon - probably the compressor.

The most recent is a new clutch. During this process it was discovered that the gearbox had no oil and the source of the gearbox sloppiness was traced to a part with a heavily perished bushing - that was after discovering that the clutch housing was nigh on welded to the gearbox casing by some heavily corroded pins that connect the two parts. Mechanic finally prised them apart after a week or so, only to be rewarded by the gearbox falling onto his arm and putting him out of work for a few days.

Everything else is fixed except for this gearbox part, which of course no one had in stock - Subaru quoted a possible 15 week wait for the part to be manufactured. Finally found a site in Japan that had a "90% chance" of getting it in stock... a couple of weeks after I first took a punt on it when it was the only place I could find. It's now finally making its way from Osaka.

Honestly, the affection a human can develop for a box of metal, plastic and fluids, meaning you'd do almost anything to keep it alive. A sickly but sweet natured cat would probably prove cheaper

Some Aussie bloke been selected to play cricket for Canada women .

This really is the centre of what is wrong in society . Firstly why would he want to and secondly why is it allowed ?? Total madness .
Imo the only way trans sports people should be allowed to play is if they've had a surgical sex change . Otherwise if you have male genitalia it's a no . Anyone who thinks otherwise is part of the problem.

I thought we'd turned a corner on this stuff. Apparently not.

I'm sure some would say the same about your attitude. Such is life. A respectful stance in the middle somewhere is probably what's needed, but unfortunately unlikely.

In regards to the cricket thing. Other sports are ruling to curb certain things, cricket has been slow on the uptake and should probably catch up.
