Too true joe, my wrist is far too skinny to display some of the monstrosities that watch makers want to force upon us. I hanker after a good watch but the latest versions are far too ugly. They are chasing the Chinese market just like BMW 🤣 View attachment 113111

Extendable/retractable leads for dogs. Stupid things.
The countless times I've had dogs on 'extendables' lunging at me and my dog; owners dropping them with their often stupid handles; going into the road; getting tangled up when greeting (the dogs). I think they think it gives the dog 6 feet of 'freedom', but in reality they're just a headache.
I thought it might be only me thinking along these line (hey, first time huh), but the internet is full of stories of them. Not the best, potential injury wise for them, too apparently. What lead manners too do they teach, too lol

Lead them twice round a lampost ..they probably wouldn't notice as they would probably be on the phone .. people with these don't realise that a responsible dog owner is as much aware of if not more so of there surroundings than the dog
 
I saw this video, dropped into "wtf" and there's a doggo convo going on, must be fate.

I was expecting lumps, or brown emulsion, a close call.

Windscreen cover on your insurance, or is there miraculously some vague wording that lets them pass the whole liability to you?

WTF .....somebody left the door open on the stick insects tank........guess what are now hiding somewhere in my office?!!??

Can you put a bit of branch in the office and attract them to it?

Ye the insurance doesn’t cover ‘Glass’
So this also applies to the windscreen

I said some little shits we’re throwing stones and broke my windscreen but they said I’d still have to pay £500 excess plus £150 for the repair and my payments would go up because I’ve made an insurance claim…
So I’m footing the bill myself..
Arsehole insurance company.
Mines Ageas but won’t be come May when it comes to renewal.

Knowing Ageas they will log a claim anyway as you told them about it.

They all do this. Some half-cut scrote drove into the back of me four years ago. All on CCTV, but because you couldn't make out the registration, nothing ever came of it. Decoded not to pursue it, but because of told the insurance, they've logged it as a "notification" and "kerr-ching"!!
 
Drove out of my estate earlier, and facing me right at the junction, almost overnight, is an isolated sprout of Daffodils, or better known in these quarters as the Narcissus. Coincidence, or just for me ;)

Nothing wrong with that, many years ago (late 70s) with only a motorcycle license I fancied a dryer winter so I bought a Bond Bug, changed engine did it up etc and made a towbar and had many good times camping in Wales and the lake district. The "boot" on the Bond bug would only house about two loaves of bread so a trailer was a must, I had many "double takes" if I passed anyone as the trailer was only slightly smaller than the Bug, I eventually sold it for £400, I paid £150 in a not very good condition, you don't see many for sale now under six grand, i should have kept it!

A pair of white ones ( original ) were sold at Mathewsons - Bangers&cash.

Apparently White ones were rare compared to the orange ones.
 
I've never seen a white one, mine was the common orange, it was a fun car to own but I think I would struggle to get in and out now, a bit like low sports cars, I do like them but there is nothing dignified rolling onto the roadside on your hands and knees and then standing up, no I'm not quite that bad. :)
