    There's also a castle design known as motte and bailey, but I think moat was the intended word.

    If you have to cut/paste again, there should be an option to 'Paste as plain text instead' at the bottom of the reply window immediately after you paste the text. Click this and it should remove all text formatting (color font etc.).

    The place where I filled up on Saturday is now charging €2.09.9/litre ($8.66/gallon) - I nearly had a heart attack when i saw the sign!

    That's about what I paid a couple of weeks ago to get my car through its annual roadworthyness test. In my case I needed rear shocks and a few other bits and pieces - the price includes the cost of the test. I still may need to replace the sensor that reads the key fob. I've gone to my spare key, and it's behaving better at the moment.

    I hope it's not too expensive or there'll be something broke behind the wheel as well!

    It certainly sounds like it's time to change.
    Did you get a smartphone, Roger? With your needs, a rugged, waterproof dumb phone might fit the bill better. Having said that, you can't check HazzardNet on a dumb phone!

    Our fuel seems to have gone up about 5% in the last week. I filled up on Saturday at €1.88.9/litre, which comes out at almost $7.80/gallon. There were reports on the radio of a gas station somewhere in Ireland charging €2/litre ($8.25/gallon). How are you guys doing?

    It always used to appear that NASCAR teams had unlimited tires. Have they recently started limiting them or has that always been the case? F1 teams often have to put on used (or scrubbed) tires, but they've probably only done a few laps, and even the softest compound normally lasts at least 1/3 race distance.

    Yesterday, Haas decided to sack Nikita Mazepin and sever ties with his father's company which was their title sponsor. F1 has not only cancelled this year's Russian Grand Prix, but also the contract for future races which were due to move from Sochi to St Petersburg in 2023.

    Last time Roger was here he said he was back from Akron and was having his grandchildren over for the night, so no clues there. Having said that, he has been known to take a break from the internet from time to time.

    Must've been something wrong with the camera. Here's how it should've looked :

    It's definitely got colder here since the middle of the week, and although parts of the UK have snow (reports say it could hit -12C (10.4F) tonight), so far there's no snow here. I did, however, find this rather beautiful frost pattern on my car roof this morning:

    Where are you getting your information from, Skipper? According to IMDb, 'Welcome Back, Bo 'n' Luke' first aired on US TV on February 25th, 1983. Just like this year, that was a Friday (as remembered by Roger). I also make it that John and Tom missed 18 episodes, not 19.

    Skipper, I'm trying to work out why you misquoted a line near the end of the scene without any context, and then made a separate post where you quoted most of the rest of the scene with extra words added here and there. Please check your quotes and give them at least a little context.
    Mason Dixon, Sam and Tinker approach Rosco, who is sleeping at his desk.
    Mason Dixon: "Uh, excuse me."
    Rosco (waking up): "Don't you threaten me..."
    Mason Dixon: "My name is Mason Dixon, and these two ladies here are my associates."
    Sam: "We're investigating a call you made to Atlanta."
    Tinker: "Yeah, concerning a couple of fellas that you caught with a whole bunch of marijuana."
    Boss appears from behind a pillar, listening to the conversation.
    Rosco: "Well, FBI, huh? Boy, you FBI, you, you get around quick. You little rascals, you..."
    Boss: "Oh, hush, hush, Rosco. They never said they was from the FBI."
    Rosco: "Oh, no, you didn't."
    Boss: "And besides, let me tell you, personally I know that I've never seen no FBI people with..."
    Rosco: "With big little dimples."
    Boss: "...big little dimples. No, wearing clothes like these."
    Rosco: "No that's..."
    Mason Dixon: "We're not with the Federal Bureau. We're private investigators...
    Boss: "Private investigators? Sir, the government don't hire no private investigators."
    Rosco: "No."
    Mason Dixon: "No, sir, but we work independently..."
    Sam: "Sheriff, oh sheriff, can't we talk to them fellas in their cells for just a little-bitty minute?"
    Rosco: "Yeah, you... No. Yes. No. I mean, I'd let you. But I can't. I mean... They ain't in the cells!"
    Boss: "Rosco, hush, hush, hush, hush will you, and just ignore them dimples. The next time she bats her eyes at you, you'll probably tell her where the Duke Boys live."
    Mason Dixon: "Duke? So that's their name, Duke?"
    Boss: "What?"
    Mason Dixon: "Thanks a lot for your help."
    Rosco: "Well, listen..."
    Boss: "No, no, wait a minute. I, I..."
    Mason Dixon, Sam and Tinker leave.
    Rosco: "See, see, Boss, you told..."
    Boss: "Me, me, me? It was you who made me tell them, you dodo."
    Rosco: "No, it wasn't. See, they had cute little dimples..."
    Boss: "Oh, forget the cute dimples. Just get out there and find them Duke boys before they do. You hear me? Go!"
    Rosco: "Well, I'm, I'm gone."
    Rosco leaves while Boss rants to himself.
