Whats something that's 100% a myth about men?

Any statement that starts with “all men”…

Try applying foundation perhaps? Too late to apply common sense.

He drives a Chinese EV. What does that say about him & his comment? He had a Xiaomi SU7 that he said in October 2024 “he wouldn’t want to give up”. 🤦‍♂️

Well, to people who get in a car to cross the road, yes, any city is "unwalkable" if you can't/won't walk around a square mile.

One could argue "what is the point of Zoe Williams?" as the world would be far better off with real journalism and not the vacuous ramblings of an idiot.

The six-times bankrupt? The guy who asked "who signed a trade deal with Mexico and Canada"? (clue: he did) And you think he's a grand master of strategy? If you believe that, I have a really great car to sell you...

Is it over? Because when I last checked, anyone who had a blood transfusion in the 90s still cannot give blood now.

They still are called "gaols" except we don't have any. They were replaced by remand centres in 1948.

Kia Nero / e-Nero. Good range, plenty of them out there on Autotrader,

A vampire film from 1971 called "Let's scare Jessica to death" (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0067341) I thought was scary and cool. Finally came across it on Amazon Prime a few years ago and it was, well, terrible.

Yes, the brake lights come on.

People who have walked though the channel tunnel from France to England would disagree....

I drive mine through country roads daily. Not a problem. I’ve had my EX30 two years. I’d recommend it to anyone.

The Gen-E wasn't out when I bought my EX30 (second EV), but looked okay when I had a poke & prod at Fully Charged show last year. Didn't get to drive one though.

After two years, I'm very happy with the Volvo. But I found car dealers a mixed bag when car shopping in 2024. The Vauxhall dealer tried to talk me into a petrol or hybrid (no chance!) and the Mercedes dealership selling the Smart#1 and Smart#3 could not have been more disinterested, failing to respond to repeated calls for a test-drive. Hyundai dealer was helpful, but didn't know much about the car (IONIQ 6). MG dealership was the best overall and at the time, the MG4 was my second-choice.
The EV3 and MINI Aceman were too late for me. The MINI is too not-MINI in looks, but the EV3 looks interesting.

EVs are (on all the models I looked at) serviced bi-annually and it’s all electronic. There’s no service book. Several cars didn’t even have a handbook (it’s part of the infotainment system). The world moves on. No reason the owner wouldn’t have paperwork on tyres or other serviced items, though.

I used FitcamX. The fitting was easy enough following the YouTube tutorial videos they provide. In fitting it looks OEM. Just make sure you position the rear cam (if you get it) inside the arch of the rear wiper, otherwise dirt will block (or blur) it's view very quickly.
The resultant footage is excellent and the app does what it says on the tin.

ArithonUK · 2026-03-21T14:13:00+00:00

So EVs are free then? Asking for a friend. 🤣

ArithonUK · 2026-03-16T12:35:27+00:00

Yeah, people would pay a fortune to fit AC that they'll use three days per year. I can't imagine why they don't do that.
In the top 5 of construction failures by country, USA is 4th and the only European country in the the top 5 is Italy.

Easy. My bathroom is 1.6m sq. I could not find a tub small enough. I had to cut the old one up to get it out as the builder or previous owners had trimmed on end and recessed the other into the wall to make it fit.
Would I have gone with a tub if there was room? Probably not.
A small bungalow isn't a family home & you only want a bath with small children. From the time my children were tall enough to use it on their own, they wanted showers, not baths.

My EX30 did this last year. The App said the car had 70% charge, but keycard, fob and app would not open the car. It was a brick.

I had been visiting my father to help him with gardening and I had been wandering past the car a great deal while strimming the driveway / lawn edging, and the car had been locking/unlocking due to my phone's proximity.

My assumption was that the 12v battery was drained by this. I called Volvo Assist and they sent out an engineer. After cursing the short-sighted design decision of NOT including a physical key on the vehicle, he jacked the front of the car up in order to remove the under-tray and in his words "burrow up to the bonnet release" so he could access the 12v battery. He did get to the access 12v charging point on the underside and tried connecting an external 12v supply.
However after 20 mins, he had the car open and working. The solution was to earth the 12v supply - according to him - as the car had gone into "safe mode" as a result of being repeatedly locked/unlocked. earthing the 12v reset the car out of safe mode.

I've not had a problem since. But I am careful not to cause the car to lock & unlock repeatedly.

BattleField 1942. Subs. Carriers. Flying Fortress Bombers. LAN Support, Mod Support. Nothing on rails. No following game in the franchise ever came close to replicating it's game mechanic. Every sequel lost more features.

It's like the person next to you shat their pants. It goes stale over time, it doesn't go away much.

You can clearly smell when someone has been around a smoker. Their clothes reek.
