Should we expect a post credits scene where the stewards give a arbitrary time penalty for a minor offence, that changes the championship?

Is he blaming it for his lack of pace, his diving some else off the road, or for his general attitude?
Just want to make sure I tick off the right reason on my bingo card.

The first rule of Fightboat is that we don't talk about Fightboat...
Unless it's talking about all our plans for a game but never being able to find a convenient time for everyone to get together to play it.

Their problems escalated when date nights kept being interrupted by Polish destroyers on torpedo runs.
It's difficult being romantic while someone is charging at you screaming "I am a Pole!".

This is clearly a trick question.
Ovens only have one temperature setting and that is 180 fan.
As for timing it's whatever is on box plus X many "5 more minutes" untill it looks ok or you're hungry enough to risk it.

Manually repairing records from a change log as the rebels compromised the Sectors HR database & got creative with staff records. There's no back up.
3 Unauthorised promotions, 7 reassignments, wages redirected, still alive director listed dead & 10000 excess loo rolls.
They used the Moff's Login.

Does that mean we can also take 4 Leyton House racing teams and form a Leyton Hotel racing team instead?

In my part of the world Thursdays are summoned into being by the coven of Wheelie Bins.
Not one to complain, their duty is a sacred community service, but they are quite loud when they do their ritual offering to the Holy Bin Lorry at 6 am.

Always amazed at how often the inability to believe some people can't or don't drive, and the belief that cars disappear when not in use coexist in the mind of town planners.

I'm tying to imagine Adolphe Sax in a musical duel and all I can hear is Careless Whisper...
I fear pop culture has trained this to the point of a pavlovian response to any image of someone playing Sax.

I can imagine there are just a few rules around re-mapping due to the ancient tradition of using less than flattering nicknames in comms devices, or we'd see more "Stinky to Mr Grumpy Pants" in the command logs.

I have to remind the newbies in my place that they can ask when the response is needed by, or ask if it's urgent "why?" as priorities need to be considered and balanced.
It's a chance to "coach" the requester into including timescales and reasons at the start which can relieve a lot of anxiety.

Prosecutor: May it please the court: Video evidence of the accused committing the crime from a 21 different angles.
Additionally footage of the accused resisting arrest and being bit on his arse by a police dog, this time enhanced and in slow motion.
Judge: Yes, this pleases the court greatly

feels like it's either SaaS with bad networking or time limited internal services that can have only 10 concurrent users when your work requires 50+ concurrent users.
...And if you're really lucky both at the same time, so by the time you've got the data from the Cloud you've been timed out...

The proliferation of henges lead to the Henge bubble of 3100 to 1600 BC (due to how long they took to build) aided by the first Henge funds.
The bubble finally burst after someone asked what they really needed a henge for, bankrupting many druids, while henge fund managers diversified into columns.

“Want to make the most of those FSB donations?”
“Need to blame foreigners to mis-sell referendums?”
"Or Do you want to be involved in an accident that wasn't your fault?"

I'm waiting for Rishi to try to frame the gambling issue as "a demonstration of his go getting and risk taking government."
Promptly followed by announcing his plan to clear the deficit and prove how much he believes in Britain by betting the treasury on England beating Germany... on penalties.

I imagine Princess Anne taking her to one side and saying "Well it looks like there's no talking you out of it, so we need to make sure you do it right, besides the Men have made enough of a mess." Followed by ensuring she has a varied and practical education.
