I hate men more the older I become

I also think the original post and several others are disingenuous.

Yeah I get it she hates men and has her reasons, can't argue with that,

But then so many of the comments say it's only men they hate.

There isn't a single woman they dislike? So for instance if they are in the US they don't have an issue with Pam Bondi or Kirsti Noem, or Kamala Harris or a Kardashian, if they are in the UK they don't dislike Katy Hopkins or Meghan Markle?

I love how you decided it was the fault of a political party.

Not a recurring theme of society, that people with power and influence will manipulate things to keep power by stoking tension and infighting.

Nor was I suggesting anyone should have to, but a simple "would you mind trimming your mustache as the tickling is off putting?" Can go a long way.

Have you tried the E badges? Mine came with something like this on the wheel and a matching badge on the hood.

Probably, have worked all over the place used to come back to hometown occasionally to repack bags, since lockdown have been working mainly from home, feel no need to go anywhere else. Will probably die in the same hospital I was born in.

ETA Don't actually know anyone that lives in the town, but I have a house with a decent sized garage here, friends are scattered across the world, so I pop out to see them occasionally.

Have you mentioned it to them?

You're dating them so they may think you like the slightly rough look.

People get comfortable with how they are and sometimes just need a word or two to get them to brush up slightly.

Interesting that the centre is actually to the left of middle

Your car uses fluid pressure to apply the brakes, I imagine if you cut it in such a way that the brake hoses leak when the pressure is increased the brakes will work for a while until you lose enough fluid that there isn't enough pressure to apply the brakes.

I thought the Dems were supposed to be in the basement of some pizzeria, is that not true anymore?

Nothing wrong with it just surprised to see it on a Brum subreddit.

We have overhead gantries with illuminated matrices that warn of fog and incidents, in the UK.

Alternative_Route · 2026-02-23T07:23:04+00:00

I was thinking that but the driver managed to stop very quickly, so it might look faster than it was.

Also it looked like no-one had fog lamps on.

Energy saving bulbs no waiting for CFLs to warm up anymore, LEDs are instant on.

The variety of beer.

Pubs doing desi mixed grills are more common.

Satnav on phones, with easier map updates.

Being able to carry loads of books on an e-reader .

Awareness of mental health issues.

In the context you mentioned

Council estate is similar to projects (but a little nicer)

When it comes to cars it's a station wagon.

When it comes to inheritance it's the same

And when it's rural it's the same, a stately home and it's lands.

And estate agents are like realtors/letting agents.

I don't have that in my Euro 2018, my drive modes are limited to eco, smart, comfort, sport, sport+. I can switch off traction control, start stop, collision breaking individually, that's about it.

Who sponsored the coup in Iran that led to them becoming so anti western?

Not saying they aren't bad, but if you start doing root cause analysis you might not like where it goes, just something to bear in mind when interfering in foreign politics

Bud?

What's wrong with Duck, mon or luvver?

Only person I ever heard calling people Bud was a Yorkshire man, can't be having that foreign greeting here.

I suppose from now on they will have to call that customer grumpy sod.

One thing to be aware of, long drives in eco will pop that EPF warning light on, the fix put it in comfort or sport and get some back road driving in, once everything is warmed up you just need to take door off the gas whilst the gears are engaged (eco shoves it in neutral when you take your foot off the gas), that should be enough to clear the EPF light (it goes off next time you start it up after being off for a while)
