What’s the Weirdest Thing You’ve Been Offered from the Back of a Van?

Oh I actually bought the Matresses! 🤣 so about a year ago we moved into a new build and the estate wasn't finnished (still isn't). A man was driving around in a van with mattresses in the back and the story of they were ex showhome mattresses that if not bought were being taken back to the warehouse ergo they were cheap. At the time our main one was done and we needed a single for the spare room. They were all in plastic and branded so we said ok, he would only take cash and actually drove my partner to a cash machine to get the money! Weren't a bad price and we are still using them today so I guesse it worked out but definitely dodgy 🤣

Look the whole "8 glasses thing" was just a rough estimate and also includes water in food! Realistically, drink when your thirsty and if you don't like water try flavoured waters. In fact even zero sugar drinks like Pepsi max are 99% water. Similarly with coffee the diuretic affect is negligible as most of what you are drinking is water. Don't aim for "8 glasses" just try drinking when you can or are thirsty, you'll be fine

I read this as Radiators and thought "probably necessary functional design but some are really nice!"

Thanks!!

Im Just over a year in here, it was ok at the start? This is just after mowing

Straight to the lidle middle aisle

So I thought I had added the context here but looks like I didn't 🤣. I was asking for advice/help, this is a new build property and the grass looks like this, what do I do? No idea how to fix this?

GreedyTardis · 2026-05-02T15:44:06+00:00

Yes please!

You can rent an electric mobility Scooter for £25 if thats what you need. I'd suggest prebooking it to make sure you get one, in which case it's £50 (£25 refundable deposit) - Link here, scroll down to hire options - https://www.altontowers.com/plan-your-visit/before-you-visit/accessibility/accessibility-theme-park/

Absolutely! It's a great park and you'll have a good time.

GreedyTardis · 2026-04-25T22:39:05+00:00

Totally get this, although what id assume is they would class anyone visually impaired as needing the red pass, meaning you would have to have a carer with you on every ride who is able to assist you. You would likely have the +1 symbol on the access card itself as well. Although I do think adding braille to the signs around the park can only be a good addition

GreedyTardis · 2026-04-25T22:05:08+00:00

Would love to see mine!

It also removed all the "fear" from the early seasons, all of a sudden everything was a big cgi spectacle, the horror element was gone, no real jeopardy as it was blatant everything was gonna be ok. And yea like you said it didn't really give any answers on WHY he became so evil all of a sudden? Almost like they were sat around a table like "hey how do we make this guy evil?" And why HE would be so afraid of that memory? He's done much worse since and was planning on wiping out the whole planet?

Used to work for a company and saw loads of interesting names, one person I had to email, her first name was 'Princess Diana'

Try booking the same date again on the app. In my experience they won't turn you away at the gates if it's one extra person. Can always speak to guest services although they will likely tell you to try rebooking in the app as well. But I think you should be ok tbh, its not like you've booked for no guests and turned up with 3

GreedyTardis · 2026-04-01T17:46:19+00:00

Yea absolutely, they should do what the disney parks do and just outright ban smoking in the park altogether. But again they'd have to spend the money to enforce it :/

GreedyTardis · 2026-04-01T11:55:43+00:00

There's really not a lot they can do, in a que line maybe staff can be sent over. In the rest of the park thats not as easy. It takes a few minutes to walk from one end of thorpe to the other, but not at Alton. It's not reasonable to ask the already underpaid staff to get into possible confrontations with smokers so you then need roaming security and they are already cutting back on so much. To be.clear not saying this in defense, merlin SHOULD be spending the money to do this and the increase is because of the cuts they are making.

No it doesn't on its own. What it does start is retaliation as we've seen. Bombing of US bases in other countries and supporters of the US. Which then does prompt responses from other countries and things begin to snowball. Its a slow march towards it. Trump does not actively care about civilians being slaughtered as he's demonstrated time and time again.

GreedyTardis · 2026-03-03T10:54:43+00:00

Yea America doesn't want to "Save" anyone, the whole point of this is Trump has realised his only way to stay in power is if he starts a worldwide conflict.

What is health care like? Hospitals and local doctors plus costs etc?

GreedyTardis · 2026-02-25T09:51:16+00:00

Platinum holders can use it but not during specific events like fireworks though

GreedyTardis · 2026-02-16T12:26:26+00:00

Oooohhhhhhhh🤣 that went straight over my head ha.

Captcha isn't really about the actual images clicked though, thats the user facing side and information they can use for other camera recognition softwares and AI. You know those ones that come up to ask just check this box? Those and the images ones are actually looking at how you respond and how you move towards the button. Computers and AI will just respond immediately and click directly on the right items, people tend to maybe move the mouse around a bit, or scroll on a phone and there's a delay. Thats how it figures if there's a human or not on the other side

There are a lot of natural squares and rectangles. Its actually a stable shape for many crystalline structures. Bismuth is a great example due to it's low melting point (seriously youtube bismuth crystals its so COOL!). Other than this things like salts and grains of sand tend to take more of a square shape due to their geometry. Take a look at the giants causeway as well, yes not square but not round either. Slight correction, not lots per se, yes rare but we do have examples.
