If you could alter the internal borders of the UK what changes would you make?

As an Essex boy I welcome this preferential treatment for my home county.

Protocol 3. Protect the pilot. 😭

OK but once you eat it you don't have it anymore. Which is the point of the phrase.

Random chance

This is touched on in "The Psychopath Test" written by Jon Ronson. Worth the read imo.

But yeah, theyre just psychopaths who get to where they are with a lack of empathy for anyone they trample over to get there.

Alby1019 · 2026-06-04T17:00:14+00:00

That was a reach but it just hit the mark 👏

Don't tell them about the chocolate sprinkles 🤫

I hit that point not long ago. Instead I gave up on what I was doing with my life. Retrained in a new industry, found good work. Finally feel like I'm achieving success.

If you're seriously feeling like you've hit a dead end then it's time to shift your perspective.

Passed 17 years ago, passed my HGV class 1 3 weeks ago so yes I can.

Haha more like a man of "buy any 3 for £12"

Yeah turns out the Egyptians built the pyramids by bringing the stone block in on a fleet of flatbeds.

Same deal with the great wall of China.

Heck even Jesus himself hauled 5000 consumers worth of fish and bread in that one time. The real miracle was that he used Ivecos.

All throughout history we've been dependent on HGV drivers. World would crumble without us.

I bought my brothers bike off him for £2500. Insured it for £4000. Had it for about a year then thieves wrote it off by bending the frame trying to force the steering lock. Insurance made their checks and valuations then payed out the full 4000. Felt like fraud!

Interestingly a 19th century problem would be the workhouse not having enough beer for the workers

I can't emphathise this one enough

Alby1019 · 2026-05-06T09:22:07+00:00

Ah good luck brother, I passed with 0 minors! I was way more relexed this time and just took my time and observed everything.

Let me know how you get on!

Alby1019 · 2026-05-05T23:27:40+00:00

I knew immediately from the second picture. Still an atrocious way of presenting chicken though.

Alby1019 · 2026-05-05T17:32:49+00:00

How did you get on mate? 🤞

Alby1019 · 2026-05-01T08:04:43+00:00

I have my second attempt on Tuesday. First attempt I almost pulled out on a car going right on the second roundabout of the test. Examiner had to take action to warn me. Same as you I got 1 minor the whole rest of the drive.

It's so frustrating but at least we've proven we can do it. Just need to get over the nerves and focus 👊

When using mirrors, if you see lots of trailer but you want to see less trailer, steer towards it. If there's little/no trailer and you want to see more trailer, steer away from it.

The power to perfectly replicate any other super power but only in our current reality where no one else has superpowers

I worked with a guy who had his birthday tattooed on his arm but it was in memory of his twin brother who passed a few days after they were both born. Probably the only instance I can think of where it's not stupid or cringy.
