Don't get me started, idle people, I live on a fairly busy main road and the amount of McDonalds bits we get- and the nearest McDonalds is at least 8 miles away, if you have carried it that far take it home and put it in your bin, I would have the main tips open dawn till dusk, allow anyone to tip there and any flytippers or throwing stuff out of the car should get 6 months litter picking. I thought someone had come up with the idea of putting the car reg number on the wrappers, it can't be that hard to do.

Errm, I’ve got to admit a few misdemeanours regarding McDonald’s serving trays.

I used to put a tray under each rear tyre and apply the handbrake.

Then I would drive around the carpark with the back end of the car fishtailing about like crazy.

The car was front wheel drive and at the time I thought I was ‘the full cheese’.

I’m not proud of myself - but I can’t change it now.🤪

Whilst on the subject of stupidity- I tried to do a handbrake turn in front of a group of people, I thought it would impress, but it didn’t.

I was driving my Citroen BX GTi which has the hand brake on the front wheels…not cool.

As long as you put the trays back afterwards I'm sure the collective can forgive you...together with a couple of hail Mary's and a contribution to the "Save the Roof" fund.

Amen

I like him. At least he isn't the usual woke lunatic. The liberal media can't handle it-or don't know how to deal with it- when someone with a MASSIVE company, rich as they come, gets involved and has massive name recognition, isn't a woke liberal. I mean, look at all the 'stars' who come out every 4 years election time preaching about who to vote for (i.e the Dems)

Yes, the road near me is like that. Thing is though, they'd still do jack all about it if their reg plate was on the litter. It would reduce it by definition, but they'd do jack all, enforcement wise. The times I've pursued stuff through authorities, and found the stress of getting them to actually do anything was more stressful that whatever bea in my bonnet I had. 'People' work in authorities too. And like all aspects of life, how good they are depends pretty much on how good/get up and go/enthusiasm/laziness etc etc the people who work in said authorities are. You can produce seven pieces of litter, one from each night of the week with the reg plate of Kevin's 1L Ecoboost 95hp Fiesta with an exhaust, as he passes through the road and dumps his rubbish, but if the person in whatever authority you hand it to himself parks a car as near to the TESCO store opening door, leaves his own trolley by someone's car instead of walking the mammoth 10 steps to the trolley booth, and spends much of the working say doing as little as he possibly can,then it'll go nowhere

This morning at the sandwich shop a woman there with her young son was flashing a lottery ticket / scratchcard type thing around saying how she'd won some money.

She said that she initially thought she'd won £500 but when she went to the shop to present it they told her she'd actually won £500000. She nearly fainted.

Then after 30 seconds or so they said "Oh no sorry you were right, you've won £500".
 
I did the pools at one time and my brother in law who knew what he was doing helped, I went to him and told him I had eight draws, if you have its a million plus this week he told me, I was so happy, he checked them and said no you have one and a half points, I checked again, eight draws, showed him what I was doing and I had been checking the forecasts for the following weeks, I had won zilch - gutted.

I was charging two odd sized lithium torch batteries in the Chinese two pin charger supplied.

They went on fire (or one did) and melted the charger and socket it was plugged into, luckily they were on charge in my workshop and not my house.

The fire didn't spread further than the socket but there was black, floaty soot hanging around for days.

PS The batteries were called FIRESTICK quite appropriate.

Edited to add, my batteries were branded SURE FIRE......even worse.

I work in the plant and tool hire sector. Two of our customers lost entire depots of their hire businesses because li-ion batteries for their cordless tools exploded due to being left on charge overnight.

Buildings burnt completely to the ground.

They need to rethink those brand-names 😂

You lost any credability when you used the word woke


In fact you lost it when you said 'I like him'


and you used a far right amercian website as a fact checker


and you shared a GB News article...

Happening a lot of late, what with this, the site problems and spammers I think we need to get back to what we are about.

When I first moved to France I found it odd that people won't drink the tap water and instead bulk buy bottled water due to the notion that tap water is spiked with some kind of pacifier. I now also use bottled water for drinking and cooking, mainly because the stuff that comes out of the tap smells like a swimming pool.
