We've got a BFG


Six feet seven inches

That's tall.

Chris Tremlett is not just 6'7” tall, but built like a brick outhouse, too. He's in the England squad as a bowler, and also because Joe Root's mum insisted, in case Joe got involved in a nightclub fracas and needed some backup.



















Tremlett and Root (actual size).




We've got the BFG:

Now the car wants tyres...

...they're all want, want, want, aren't they? Not satisfied with the regular refuelling, and occasional and grudging refilling of the window-washer thingy, now it wants tyres. Or a tyre. Or not. You can't even get the Re-tread Teds and Ronnie Radials to any sort of consensus.

I've noticed that whenever one of those car-knowledgeable folk get onto tyres, sooner or later they'll say “tracking”, as in:

You front nearside tracking looks a bit dodgy.”

Tracking, eh? Keep your voice down or it'll be after new trackings soon. I understand that it is clearly of benefit to have the wheels facing vaguely parallel to the intended direction of travel, but we've had years to sort this out, why does it all have to be so critical, where's the tolerance?
