@mcdermottkc_ @mcdermottrick @kirstyamcd I think the historic vehicle status would be lost if the body were replaced.

@leng_wanda @RoisinMichaux @AnneBevan1 The court being discussed here is the CJEU, not the ECtHR.

@BarbaraRich_law I think my copy has a picture of the crossing sweeper, but remember little else - was it Tizzard v Tizzard that also featured a house of the same name? I shall have to revisit the novel. Perhaps the original TL:DR?

@casescasescases @BarbaraRich_law I’m planning on doing a series for those with shorter attention spans, working title is “Bullet points from Lamb’s tales from Shakespeare”.

[James O'Neil @Windy_Hill99]

@BarbaraRich_law Don’t you mean having not read BH and knowing all they need to know?

@JimQbert Even though a male replacement would probably have been entitled to 2 shillings more a week.

@FuzzyBun42 @QcWynter I have transported a double bass in a Fiat 600, one of the earlier models, with “suicide” (i.e. rear-hinged) doors, otherwise it wouldn’t have been possible. No room for other passengers, though, and not much for the driver.

[James O'Neil @Windy_Hill99]

@QcWynter Let that sink in.

[James O'Neil @Windy_Hill99]

@QcWynter It reminds me of the question, “How do hedgehogs mate?” - and the answer, “Very carefully.”

@davidfrum Trump would grow another one. It would be the bigliest, best.iest, brainliest head ever grown.

@QcWynter A fairly recent Times headline stated that X (I can’t remember who it was) “drops lawsuit” against Y, which I took to mean “abandons proceedings” against Y; however, it apparently meant “initiates proceedings” against Y. Also delightful.

@MaxJLHardy I first encountered the name Nigel in a book when I was very young and, not being familiar with the name, assumed it was pronounced “Niggle”. Quite appropriate these days, at least in one context.

@Jen62843947Lisa @ThreeJacques @TheMonologist The movie omitted the connection between the disposal of the owl and that of Bill Hayden, which informed the reader of the identity of Hayden’s killer.

@GyllKing Two weeks is a long time in broadcasting (with due acknowledgment to H. Wilson PM).

@TERFYTerfycheep @stueymaco Wasn’t he the last king of Scotland? Does that make her queen?

[James O'Neil @Windy_Hill99]

@54JohnBull @c88ky @messedupcars No, I don’t think they would. They were (and indeed still are, my 1963 Series 2a for example) basically RWD vehicles, with the option to have 4WD when required - but No differentiation between the rotation of the rear wheels and front wheels, so bad for transmission, tyres etc.

[James O'Neil @Windy_Hill99]

@54JohnBull @c88ky @messedupcars No, no diff lock on a series LR, unless it’s an aftermarket addition. (No o/d on this one, either.)

[James O'Neil @Windy_Hill99]

@BenouSyS @niyo17417 And a locking rear differential (which cut out at around 10 kph).
