14 year heroin addict who sounds like he’s gargling ground glass & has a serious case of the shakes spews lies about vaccines as the president sleeps & shits himself while the NodBot (no one knows who or what the fuck she is) nods & sways. Fucking surreal.

It's the hottest night of the year, maybe ever. Not a hint of a breeze, windows thrown wide open, sleep finally comes around 11pm.
11.03pm the Swiss win an unimportant football match and decide to drive around like lunatics tooting for the foreseeable....

I recall one particularly debauched finance conference at The Dorchester in about 2003.

Nominally it was about emerging markets. By lunch it had become a symposium on cocaine, expensive wine and men in pink shirts telling lies about their bonuses.

My colleague and nemesis Simon Pennyworth arrived late, announced he was "constructive on Brazil", then immediately fell backwards into a table of Swiss bankers.

By 6pm, nobody knew what the conference was for.

A hedge fund man had taken his shoes off, another was crying in the cigar room. Pennyworth was trying to pay a string quartet to play "Vindaloo".

I woke the next morning in Marylebone with a delegate badge belonging to a man called Lars and no memory of leaving.

They don’t really do events like that anymore, which is probably for the best.

So @Lufthansa_DE have chosen to separate me from the kids on my Euro 700+ flights in an attempt to extort more cash rather than simply putting us together in the empty row? Is it all a bit low quality? This isn't supposed to be Ryanair...

@tyler_allen @nascarman_rr If the case, why was there a safety truck already on track?

@AndyatAuto I've got a lot of race hours behind the wheel of that chassis and I can tell you it is a simply amazing thing to drive. Was even lucky enough to take it up the hill @fosgoodwood a few times, where as long as you had one front wheel on the tarmac it would look after you.

[R_P @pofg]

@AlexBrundle Epic stuff, I've got a serious numbers of hours logged at the wheel of Aiello's Championship-winning Nissan Primera and I rate it as the best race car I've ever driven. Absolutely epic bits of kit.

@Tankslider Saw a "as new", 34,000 km, Clio Williams yesterday that someone had just spent €79,000 on (!?!?!). My comment was identical...

@Tulpea_org @xBartega Very much depends on the underlying... HELOCs, no, property, no, receivables (invoices), yes.

2026 so far

@Motor_Sport Rumoured that A-D pay $100mm to have the last race of the year... big step over a normal hosting fee, and simply not economical for most of the other tracks to pay it. And F1 is never ever going to take the hit. Too money-grabbing.

@TufferB Thought you'd have unloaded the scaffolding from the truck bed by now mate...

Ok, now he might be a convicted rapist, Epsteins best buddy etc etc but surely America cannot stomach being led and represented by someone who cheats at golf? #FinalStraw

It's known as 'The Pass' for a reason.

Many supporters of letting children vote seem unaware that the minimum age at which you can get married in England and Wales was recently raised to 18.

(I had to check myself, but 16 and 17-year olds can no longer marry, even with parental consent...)
