Probably won't be many new ones available anyway after the governments give them to illegal Muslim immigrants to help them settle in.

Automatic wipers, automatic lights, automatic brakes, automatic speed control, automatic lane keeping, automatic engine off...

...have to turn them all to manual before I can drive, hate them all!

and if you had an accident in the UK or EU and it was found you'd turned them off then the insurance company will risk adjust your claim.

[Troy]

and if you had an accident in the UK or EU

I'll take the risk, thank-you. I do use the manual speed limiter/cruise control and the 'take a break' feature, which I find helpful on long journeys.

I hate the auto 'lane keeping' most of all. Does anyone use it? I end up fighting the car most of the time, especially when night driving. No freaking need to use indicators when the road is empty.

[misskit]

The lane keeping thingy that shakes the steering wheel or tries to pull the car back in the lane is the only thing I turn off. Yes it’s annoying to have to fight the car over a poorly marked road or when changing lanes when no one is around. I allow the light to go on when drifting over a line is all.

[Molle]

No freaking need to use indicators when the road is empty.

Yeah, you don't want to unnecessarily wear out the indicator lamps!

/serious mode on
If you get used to always use the indicators when changing direction then it becomes a habit which is handled by the lizard brain. alas you don't have to think about it, it happens automagically!

[BLD]

A productive and morbid day organising, discussing and implementing wills and powers of attorney.

When did life get so boring and shite.

It's a necessary evil and gives peace of mind i suppose.

I've ordered one of these as I know her indoors would be fucking useless in the event of my untimely demise

[Joe 90]

I've made my eldest " power of attorney " as he's 20 now and looking like he's gonna get a first class honours degree in finance and banking.

[Troy]

Yeah, you don't want to unnecessarily wear out the indicator lamps!

Has anyone mentioned you're an ignorant and annoying dickhead...

[Joe 90]

Has anyone mentioned you're an ignorant and annoying dickhead...

He tries too hard, just like his mate..

[Molle]

Has anyone mentioned you're an ignorant and annoying dickhead...

No but if you want to be the first then just spit it out

[malmomike77]

Lazy day cooking wise. Bought a jar of Lidl Vindaloo. Vindaloo my arse, my 3 year old grand daughter could eat that. The recipe doesn't even call for lentils.

Everyone would have thought it. Best to just ignore the retard

[Edmond]

Vindaloo my arse

I'm not gay but still felt a twitch.

[Edmond]

I feel a bit bad now.

One of the massive Big C Soopurr Sentuurs has a big market that takes over the front car park on Mondays. So the rest of the parking lots are chockers. Pull up against the wall where others have parked/are parking, lock up and head for the building.

Big C lad that appears to be deaf comes at us with his arms crossed making all sorts of signs that we can't park there while looking embarrassed. I do what every self-important tosspot would do and tell him to fuck-off while gesturing at the other 6 or 7 cars parked along the wall and one that is parking there right now. Tell him to fuck-off again and head in.

Poor fooker. As if being deaf isn't bad enough your job is to inform people about the rules, who then tell you to fuck-off and ignore everything you gestured.

At least he didn't actually hear what I said, I suppose. :/

Listening to boy George makes my arse bleed

[Edmond]

^ I shook his hand while off me nut on Es when he was DJing around 1999-ish, and instantly regretted it.

I'd rather not imagine where those fingers have been.

[Mendip]

^ It's a Miracle that you still remember the occasion.

[armstrong]

Listening to boy George makes my arse bleed

Interesting to note that's the role you'd take in that relationship.

A STRONGARM inauguration ZINGER

He could fantasise about taking that role, however Boy George would definitely take a pass on that thick alcoholic pile of blubber.

[BLD]

^ a couple of boy George fans. Why doesn't that surprise me

Not us imagining having sex with him is it

[nidhogg]

Constant moan in Thailand. Taxis that cut out the seatbelt buckles on the back seats.

[Edmond]

Why do they do that ?

Often very old village style superstition, that physically putting on the seatbelt will cause a crash to happen. Even having them in the car can cause a crash to happen. Same as having an amulet hanging from the mirror that will stop one.

Combined with a very old concept of face and ego, the passenger putting one on disrespects the driver as it shows that one thinks poorly of their driving skills and could actually be in an accident.


Mostly done by old villagers that migrated to the city instead of staying in their corrugated iron shack and marrying a python that their grandmother said is their wife from 800 years ago.

[Edmond]

These (rural Isaan folk) are also (supposedly) adults that purposefully change the rear light of their motorbike from red to white so ghosts and spirits don't follow them home.


When in fact their followed by an effin' an' blindin' Eddo McCheddo that thinks there's soon koont on the wrong side of the road coming straight at 'im.


That's if they haven't removed the rear light altogether, to match the mirrors they also removed.

Ask Prags, Mendo and Dill, they married into them.
