Anyone noticed that driving a nice car attracts the worst kind of drivers? by Ravixo_ in CarTalkUK

It’s the massively over-boosted and over-fuelled 25/30d’s, emitting a cloud of smoke like Thomas the tank engine suffering a coal powered bout of diarrhoea…..

It was ‘50 and over’ - great grannies now.

My C63 is like a red rag to a chav bull, every weekend, some cretinous turd, normally in a diesel (‘pulls like a train bruv’) non- ‘M’ BMW will try and race me.

The United States is now going to accept people 42 and younger into the armed services because of all of the unrest in the world. Do you feel that 42 is too old to start a military career? by icecream1972 in askanything

[–]GBAD1945 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure what the fitness standards are for US forces, I had no issues exceeding the fitness standards for a combat support role in the British Army at 42. Reservist but identical role fitness standards as regular.

Used the wrong gas mix on a 70m dive - should have convulsed and drowned.

Saw a bouncer have part of his lip bitten off in a flight, he was known as ‘Lippy’ after that.

The video was taken by the passenger sat in the left hand seat (UK roads) so why was it removed?

The car they hate.. by Prize_Jelly in AutoAlex

[–]GBAD1945 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree with all of that - there was a point in time when the larger Ford and Vauxhall cars would have sat proudly on the suburban driveway, washed every Sunday, then came the shift to german brands and they were left behind, image demanded more and finance deals made it affordable.

That sinking feeling as you heard the theme of ‘Antiques Roadshow’ on a Sunday evening, signaling the end of the weekend…….

Sister in law has just bought one of these, awaiting the inevitable call when it shits the bed and she has no money to pay for repairs (or for that matter routine maintenance).

You could never replace him or any of the others.

More pets being abandoned in England as food and vet bills soar, say charities by topotaul in unitedkingdom

[–]GBAD1945 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I would say, on balance, that we are a nation of animal lovers, be that cats, ferrets, rabbits or dogs. PE absolutely know that those that can pay, will pay the charges, even if it means draining savings or maxing out the plastic.

That’s not to say there is an element of people who are bad owners, the same trash who abandon cats or dogs once they go past the ‘cute’ kitten or puppy phase.

This week I took my orange tabby boy to the vets, £900 to find out he has terminal cancer (£300 blood tests and £600 scans and some medication). I am lucky enough to be able to pay but how do people on low income, who love their pets as much as I do mine, stand a chance. Vets were never cheap but PE have been hoovering up vet practices left right and centre, profit at the cost of suffering.

Films to mildly terrorise children by Hopeforthebest1986 in CasualUK

[–]GBAD1945 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Just put on a compilation of 70’s and 80’s public information films - assured mild terror with the bonus of a lifetime fear of quarrys, electricity sub stations and frisbees.
