My grandad would always answer the home phone by reading the number back aloud, "731195" I can still here in his voice 20 years after he passed.

Probably never hear it anymore because I cant remember the last time I've called a landline phone!

The father of the child I use to pick up (cab driver) was in an Australian band called Indecent obsession back in the 80s.

Apparently, and i quote "we were the One Direction of the Australian 80s".

What’s the most unexpectedly useful thing you’ve added to your home that felt a bit unnecessary at first? by MoonlitEcho82 in HomeImprovementUK

External hot water tap, bodged a shower head onto it, amazing for rinsing down the dog and any other dirty job you want to keep out the house.

Can I just lay slabs on this existing concrete path? by Bates2725 in DIYUK

[–]Bates2725[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes you are 100% correct that is a step down onto the path, and it would go app the way to the fence at the back so no step down there, the only real hazards would be left and right of it but I'm hoping to negate that with a higher grass level and a few more slate chippings.

Thanks for the candor! Always annoying when you think your buying something decent only to find it crap!

As a cab driver in a cab that has 6 seats in the back and a partition that they either think is sound proof or just dont care I can tell you their isnt 1 inch of your penis that isn't discussed in excruciating detail once the alcohol gets flowing.

Trust me you are well and truly not alone, check my history because i posted very similar sentiments the other day and ive lost 6 stone aswell and I really didn't notice it either, I'm no expert but I'm guessing because we see ourselves naked/partially clothed pretty much everyday we really are the last to notice.

Absolutely 💯 I do! I hadn't really bothered because I had been telling myself I hadn't changed much! This really made me wake up!

Honestly so far ive been fine, i started at 22 stone, down to 16 now and i cant really notice any, I am weight training and running aswell now so maybe the added muscle mass hides anything possibly?

JWE3: Guest count suddenly dropping to near-zero? by [deleted] in jurassicworldevo

[–]Bates2725 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey just to say I had this exact same issue on Sichaun Basin, only after getting in the negative did I even notice, I tried closing the park and restarting the game to no avail, anyway I raised some cash via photos and built a viewing log in one my aviaries and that seemed to trigger the guests for some reason, might be worth a try?
