Here in the land of the soggy sporran, Scottish Water demand a colossal fee for any project which involves what they call "water abstraction".

It's why people who wrongly refer to him as a Paki(stani) are not particularly wide of the mark. It's his familial and cultural heritage, albeit as a Hindu from a non-Hindu country's roots. I would think that his grandparents were bloody pleased to be out of there in 1947 as Hindus in Muslim area su...

UP and other members who owned an EV, as more and more EV are around, I am wondering how do you plan for an array of chargers to be occupied and you have no alternative as the two previous ones were busy or out of service. I can answer that one. In my Tesla, and I presume all EVs have something sim...

Of course, you really mean Indian, we know that.

His grandparents emigrated to Kenya in the 1930s from a part of what was then India but is now Pakistan.

I'm liking this Paki guy already. Dumping Rees-Mogg so quickly was a good move.

800 or more Allied POWs died in that raid.

Hær så god, gut.

I thought you might appreciate that one, Greenwotsit.

A truly brilliant piece of cinema, GreenWotsit.

I was tickled pink by the idea of a British PM with a turban, but it seems, like in many things political, I am doomed to disappointment.

You're a very naughty boy.

Now move up de bus. Ding ding.
