Rob Burrow Racing Club founder Phil Hawthorne after the poignant win
🗣️ "It was a bit of a fluke. We found out when we made the entry but it was incredibly poignant.
"Rob's widow Lindsey wasn't there, she was otherwise engaged as it was a very emotional day for her, as you can imagine, but we're allowed eight badges so there were plenty of club members there, they're staunch followers and it was very special.
"When Rob died, his last words were 'Every single day is precious, don't waste a moment'. As soon as he said that, I went on to the BHA website and reserved that name"
who wouldn't want this to happen in your house??? when Toadette lets you pet her, it makes you feel very special!
She has gotten no adoption interest. she's just a sweetie with a little anxious brain, is that a crime???
adopt Toadette! https://t.co/tOxH8MvD27

A customer at the library asked me a question I wasn't prepared for.
Customer: Excuse me.
Customer: Why does this machine require flesh?
Me: ...what?
Customer: This machine.
Customer: I am touching it, but it does not work.
Customer: Is because... flesh?
At this point I was trying very hard to figure out whether I had accidentally wandered into a horror movie.
Then she held up her hands.
She was wearing gloves.
Me: Oh!
Me: The touchscreen.
Me: Right.
Me: Yeah, it probably can't detect your fingers through the gloves.
Customer: Ah.
Customer: Okay.
Customer: Sorry to bother.
Me: No, no.
Me: That's the best thing I've heard all week.
She laughed.
The machine worked.
And I thought that was the end of it.
It was not.
Now whenever one of our library computers stops working, someone inevitably says:
Staff: It requires flesh.
Staff: The machine must be fed.
Another staff member: Who's volunteering?
So thanks to one perfectly innocent question, our library now sounds like a cult every time the self-checkout freezes.
I've just listed two beautiful Jaguar's on Collecting Cars Auction site - the first is a absolutely immaculate XKR in Silver and the 2nd is a genuine 12,000 mile Jaguar XJR-S TWR. Please share as both of these cars want for nothing and are in immaculate condition throughout.
Perfect for a jaguar lover, but I need to reduce my collection.
