That is incredibly underwhelming.
Those people are the lowest of the low. I’ve a begrudging respect for those who steal with a bit of chutzpah. When I lived in Nottingham I used to go drinking with a pro footballer player. He still hung out with his mates from the council estate he grew up on and one night after a few beers one of them told me that if you tie a carrier bag of the shop you are in to a large, big ticket item you can walk out of said shop uncontested 99% of the time. The chap made a decent living out of it and must have a large pair of cojones. At the other end of the scale is the s**t who stole a vest out of a three pack of toddler vests and my son had to go without a vest for the last day of a long weekend in Norfolk. No flair, no imagination and no massive cojones. Lowest of the low.Galfon wrote:Hoisters & Tea-leafs who remove 1 or more items from a multi-pack and leave the pack there.Surely it's easier just to trouser/bag the whole unit ?
Or maybe they consume the item on-the-hoof.Either way, they're of exceptionally low rank.

No. That helps it drain quickly and without spots. It's all to do with surface tension.Mikey Brown wrote:And while I'm at it, if you do the washing up but leave everything covered in washing up liquid you haven't done it properly.

You could spray it in WD40 instead - that would make sure that it dried quickly and without spots.Spiffy wrote:No. That helps it drain quickly and without spots.

As someone who cycles in London this is becoming the bane of my life. Saw someone nearly get mowed down the other week and the drivers justification was the he indicated. He did indicate, after he started changing lanes and regardless of the fact that there was someone already in that space. Why do people find it so hard?Digby wrote:Random use of indicators by drivers. Sometimes no signal means they're turning left or right, and often at a roundabout a turning right signal means they're taking the next exit, it's often so bad now you can't even trust those who're doing it properly. Oh, and simultaneous or near simultaneous use of indicator and steering wheel such it's no actual indication
It's getting worse all the time, and one of the reason I didn't replace my car when we lost it to the floods 12 years ago.Digby wrote:Random use of indicators by drivers.

They’re trying to raise money for a cancer charity not gain a first from UCL in English Lit.Puja wrote:Real niche one here - the Prostate Cancer UK advert that's showing on the rugby all the time. It uses the "What a piece of work is man" speech from Hamlet, but attempts to protray it through judicious cuts as an uplifting speech about the greatness of men, which it is categorically not. For a start, Hamlet is specifically talking about humans when he says man, not the male gender, and secondly he's saying that we have all this potential and are actually pretty shit.
Only quote Shakespeare if you understand it!

Now I only drive 3-4 times a year, and each time it confirms how glad I am that I don't have to drive more
