-8C and 10 inches of snow on the ground, with freezing fog this morning.

You're putting us to shame with your real weather.

I have found an archive of Formula 3 photos (1988 through to 1991). It's an explosion of Scandinavian blondeness. Owwwwww, my eyes!!!

Rickard Rydel ?

It's easy to confuse the two.

Laundry soap is usually green, in block form. What colour is marzipan, in block form?

 

[tyred]

What ? The Nissan !

Well cutting cars in half has been done before....

Dull yellow.

 

[classic33]

Dull yellow.

No chance of thinking one was the other then.

Rickard Rydell ?

Mika Salo. Hundreds of photos of Mika Salo, and almost as many of Mika Hakkinen and JJ Lehto. There were maybe only a couple of dozen of Rickard Rydell...

In an archive of nearly 900 photos, I only found four that were of any interest / use.

I think the person who took the photos / compiled the archive has a very different taste in drivers to me.

Well, it was laundry soap powder... Which is a mix of white powder and some blue bits.

My point, young classic, was that bought marzipan is so awful that you may as well have bought soap and eaten that. Homemade marzipan, on the other hand.......

Some bought stuff is truly awful, particularly at the cheap end of the scale, I'll give you that. I seem to remember one that included soy bean flour...

This stuff full price should have been £3 a block.

And when I'm baking to feed the 5000 at CP fundraisers, I sure as hell am not going to waste the good stuff on people who will simply shove baked goods down the cakehole without it touching the sides...

In 2017 my colleague and partner bought their 2 kids a puppy for Christmas, they pay out every month for insurance, hadn't had him long when he was poorly and had to have scans and a blood test, even with pet insurance it was still costly. Last year someone else bought a cockerpoo, he was at the vets last week for scan and blood test. What is it with dogs being poorly? My folks had a labrador for 15 years and his only ailments occured in old age. Is something happening in the canine world?

Most likely the pups in question were bought from people breeding dogs to make a fast buck from "designer crossbreeds" without a care for the welfare of the actual dogs themselves.

I suspect your folks' labrador was most likely bought from a reputable breeder.
