First, a little background music (sing it, Harry).
But for a different take on the season, as befits our times:
See y’all tomorrow, if I can find time between cooking and stuff.
Ugh
I was preparing this post (with a link to Driving Home For Christmas) when I read that the song’s composer Chris Rea died just a few days ago.
Sometimes, the universe has a shitty sense of humor. Although I have to say that this one made me giggle a bit:
Under-Achieving
Reader Mike L. sends me this astounding list of booze consumption:
Wait… we Texans spent more on booze per capita than Floriduh? Musht be shome mishtake.
Anyway, I can see why the states at the top are where they are, viz. a) it’s fucking cold there, and b) there’s not much else to do when the snow is fourteen feet deep, and you can only have sex so many times a day until your cousin starts complaining. Then again…
Stupid Stupid Stupid
Yeah, this one’s going to turn out well for them:
Jaguar’s last ever petrol car came off the assembly line at the brand’s Midlands factory on Friday (19 December) ahead of its daring switch to all-electric vehicles next year.
The final Jaguar model with a combustion engine under its bonnet is an £80,000 high-performance F-Pace SVR SUV finished in black paint, according to the Jaguar Enthusiasts’ Club, which was in attendance as the Solihull factory officially signed off its last petrol model.
Under the bonnet is a burbling 5.0-litre supercharged V8 petrol engine – a stark contrast to the first ‘new Jaguar’ that will debut next year, which is a near-silent four-door GT that will cost almost twice as much, with a quoted £120,000 to £140,000 starting price.
While parent group JLR made no official announcement of the event, the Jaguar Enthusiasts’ Club says the final model is being gifted to the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust in Gaydon, where it will be retained as a museum piece.
The club said Friday was a ‘quiet, historic full stop’ for Jaguar’s 90-year relationship with the internal combustion engine.
Yeah, and they’re celebrating this piece of boneheaded idiocy?
No wonder the car, and the staff, are all wearing black:
I think a better payoff line would be:
“Pissing Away 90 Years Of Jaguar Heritage”
Oh, and “full stop” is what’s going to happen to Jaguar’s EV sales, but let’s not spoil the party.
