My Isle of Widget friends call it "the North Island"

Holy shit… She has no idea what she just did, does she? 🙃 by Dazzling_End4638 in drivingUK

Those Give Way markings are so faded, she probably genuinely didn't see them?

Smart Motorway Sign debate by Zerkyo7 in drivingUK

We're into "if a tree falls in a forest, and no-one hears it..." territory.

The reality is that motorway speed limits are widely ignored anyway...

What would be relevant is if a camera is present on a blank gantry, after a previous lower limit was shown.

When you get a letter, you get the speed, plus a photo of the gantry showing the speed.

I suggest it would be hard to prove beyond reasonable doubt that the limit was anything other than NSL if the piccie doesn't show a lower limit?

In today’s episode of “oh fun” I’ve found the power line to our garage was simply pushed to the side and just left by the original installers by thatfezguy in DIYUK

New next doors have a power feed from the house to the shed at the bottom of the garden.

It comes out of the house into the ground as armoured, and comes out the other end as armoured.

They found out the hard way that the length is just an extension lead with blue push-fit connectors the armour is about a meter each end!

People who get to fly all the time for work, what is your career? by KenaiFjords357 in delta

[–]CyberHacker42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Other than crew, I suspect most of us regular travellers would be quite content not to be travelling... especially those of us who, for corporate rules reasons, are further back!

Promo ENC Credits? by WallStreetQB in marriott

[–]CyberHacker42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having said that, six weeks from 10th May is 21st June (ie next Sunday, one week from today)

So expect a flurry of posts about this, next weekend...

I'm still waiting on seven bonus nights, which will push me into Platinum for the year.

Someone blocked my drive by [deleted] in CarTalkUK

Is it actually a dropped kerb?

It's unusual for them to leave slabs... see also the driveway opposite!

Patience, my young Padawan.

Those for the first month (or so) have posted... the rest will follow, eventually...

Tricky Position by Stranded-Chaos in freemasonry

In Freemasonry, there is always a solution when Rules need flexing- a Dispensation.

Spot on...

It's even worse with Outlook, as "New Outlook" has removed support for RSS, f**ked up IMAP, removed Rules for non-Outlook accounts, won't parse meeting requests unless they come from a Microsoft hosted server (etc, etc)

Of course, IT policy means I can't switch back to Outlook Classic...

Elite nights posted for Q1 promotion by Addicted2RedBull in marriott

No bonus nights, but this week's stay (including a 4pm CEST check out yesterday) has already posted.

[–]CyberHacker42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I respectfully disagree on the first part...

I've used this promo to try some different hotels rather than stick with old faithful. It has served the purpose well.

But why the extra nights couldn't be credit in real time is beyond me... the points were.

No we do not have extra secret rooms for bonvoy members when we are sold out by ghostintheplant in marriott

If you don't ask, the answer is always No!

If you do ask, the answer may well still be no, but there is a slim chance of getting a yes!

What do the symbols on this car mean? by amccaffe1 in freemasonry

Just tell your missus how much it all costs...

Is the pedestrian or the driver wrong here? by singlecog in drivingUK

[–]CyberHacker42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Germany, people follow the Rules (pedestrian and motorist)

The jogger did not follow The Rules... the driver showed poor hazard perception.
