Will these cars charge by the mile or by the minute?
What about those people who class 'Dogging' as their main hobby? If privately owned cars are outlawed how are they going to afford being parked up with their interior light on waiting for a suitable audience? |

Yep, all the Saudi's fault, let's have an invasion. In all fairness, given the numerous spurious wars we have fought based on entirely fabricated reasons, the most noble thing we could do is overthrow the rulers of a country where women in the 21st century are still routinely beheaded in public for the crime of having been raped. Google comes up with a female raping another female with a broomstick. Is that your reference? |

That’s progress. Not really. The only thing that has changed in Saudi Arabia since 2002 (and this is admittedly a huge change) is that women are now allowed to hold driving licences, but only so long as a man gives them permission to do so. Iraq and Afghanistan are massively liberal countries by comparison, yet we felt compelled to bomb the shit out of them. |

There may be a few novelty autonomous cars driving on extremely restricted routes in Germany but that's about as far as it will go. |

Autonomous vehicles on autobahns perhaps, the Germans do like the A word. Maybe they work too hard.. |

A as in Auschwitz, Aryan and Audi? Our daughter managed to destroy my wife’s love of the view over tixhall wide the other day, when she compared the stables there with the view of Auschwitz. It is very similar. |

Oh yeah, I forget: Arbeit macht frei.
"Listen, don't mention the war. I mentioned it once, but I think I got away with it all right."
“All friends together now, forgive and forget……..well, pretend to anyway.”
Tixall Wide:
Tixall Wide, also known as Tixall Broad or The Broad Water, is a body of water that forms part of the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal near Tixall in Staffordshire, England, to the south of the former Tixall Hall. The hall was, at that time, owned by Thomas Clifford, the fourth son of Hugh Clifford, 3rd Baron Clifford of Chudleigh, and the grounds had been designed on the advice of the landscape architect Lancelot "Capability" Brown. The lake was probably created during the construction of the canal in 1771. It is said he "gave permission for the canal to pass through his land on the condition that it was made ... "wide enough to look like a lake from the house". and thus in order not to spoil the view. Boaters moored on the Wide (the towpath is a very popular overnight mooring spot) or passing through the Wide have an excellent view of the magnificent Elizabethan gatehouse that is the only remaining part of Tixall Hall.
It has also been suggested that the canal was routed to utilise a lake that already existed, in which the angler and writer Izaak Walton had learned to fish.
 Tixall Hall and gatehouse.

As I sit patiently awaiting the Bss man to arrive i am perusing the internet and find that the gatehouse is available to hire as a holiday home. Lovely.
