    Used Small Cars

    Another vote for the Skoda Citigo. My manual version went for 90k miles without a problem, and my wife's automatic is great.

    Best Western theme music - The Big Country

    Haven't seen this in ages, and it's on today. Worth it just for the overwrought theme music by Jerome Moross.

    The weekend 🍺 and 🎶 thread

    On the wagon before a big family party tomorrow (our Ruby wedding) but I'll be back on the Leffe blonde on the night. My children have introduced me to the Pirate Metal genre, which seems a one joke affair but still fun.

    Like a lot of people, I suspect, I see hi-vis Ben Houchen's picture and immediately think: "What's he trying to spin this time?"
