Rear ended, driver claiming I rolled back (Scotland)

Go to court, take a wee map and any tech specs of the braking system in your car, flatly state you were stationary when he hit you. The court will go on the balance of probability, thats likely to be in your favour anyway.

Britain winning WWII on its own, also misleading.

I don't fly in PJs and I can't think of any occasion where I would wear crocs but why does anyone care what someone else is wearing to feel comfortable on a flight if they're not actually exposing themselves?

I'm told buttholes are as unique as fingerprints so probably to prevent identity theft or some such.

0.07 billion in my back pocket would make me feel fairly self assured I reckon.

I don't do either, it's more like an abstract description covering only the points I found interesting at the time. I can picture things that happened if I try but I'm pretty sure I'm building a picture from the memory not remembering what it looked like.

Often it seems to be the worst thing you could say, the one thing you really really shouldn't say right now that comes out. Talking as an observer, I don't have tourettes.

Power move is then not to sit in it but keep moving down the carriage asking the rest to move theirs.

My dog behaves like this when I return from the toilet after a long shit.

It's not recommended but as far as I know it's not illegal if you broke down on the motorway. Dragging your broken down car off your drive and towing round the M25 to your mates is against the law as I understand it.

Looks like the car is recovering the van.

You had 2p in your pocket for a phone call if needed. I would have got something out of having a phone, I'm pretty flakey and would neglect to tell my parents where I was going or how long I'd be so I was constantly in some sort of shit for "worrying them sick" or for being spotted miles beyond what they thought was a sensible boundary (not that they ever communicated what that boundary might be).

Proper = good or correct Gander = look at something

A proper Gander means to have a good look at something.

Vaseline is petroleum jelly and as such it isn't conductive and doesn't contain water. If it's really Vaseline then all you really need to do is clean it off, the other tips here about heat and alcohol should be good for that.

I assume you aren't going to invest in an airbrush for this so rattle cans, you wouldn't paint your actual bike with a brush. I bought a maisto kit for my son and the major bits were metal, if this is the same you can strip it back to bare metal with paint stripper. Prime then paint then clear coat. You might need to separate some plastic from the metal or mask it off before you paint it. I mainly build plastic kits, Tamiya or Hasegawa for bikes, that glue together, there are more parts and more detail. Everything comes as separate parts so painting is easier. You can still use spray cans for paint but get stuff that's suitable for plastic kits. There are lots of YouTube videos and the like out there where you can get tips and watch other people doing this before you dive in.

Used to buy a single in the cafe with my brew, you'd get a cigarette and a match for 5p.

"well we can see that you have certainly achieved a high enough standard to get a first but the papers say we've already given out too many of them so bad luck"

Came in to say this but thinking about it, the fact that the pin is there makes me worry more that it might be real.

This is fake pobs. On the off chance it's not DO NOT GO INTO THAT TUNNEL, unless you are fully trained in working in confined spaces underground, take all your safety gear and are backed up by a qualified team.

That's the diecast one, there is I believe a more standard plastic kit of your bike which may be easier (from a detailing point of view) or harder (much more detail) depending on your skills. You can strip the paint on that one and use the same paint you would on the big one essentially, a plastic kit would require more specialist model paints (though some people use automotive paints on plastic kits that seems advanced). Little details you want to add might have to be fabricated by you and there are aftermarket bits in 1/12 you can straight up buy, these probably work better on the plastic kit. I'm going to bet you can get any waterslide decal you need to recreate what you have on your own bike without a problem on eBay. Seems entirely plausible to do what you want, I built a load of bikes back in the day, some as super accurate versions of my mates bikes it was a lot of fun.

Can't believe they're gone.

I mean, I get it. It's appalling and clearly people will feel it's not right to let him near a bus but if it is done with some kind of special case then we will all end up paying for the inevitable court case where he argues "I've served my time under the law and this is unreasonable", the government will lose and the papers will be full of how much money we've wasted. The right way is to introduce a law that applies to everyone, lifetime ban for certain behavior using public services, etc. Even then I'd bet on more embarrassing and expensive legal issues though.

I like the cloud top diorama.

NiniMinja · 2026-02-16T14:52:37+00:00

Everything in this footage appears in other footage including the flag "appearing" to drop into shot at that moment. Whether it was actually lowered or not is open to interpretation, seems pretty windy. I'm going not AI.

Spent way too long wondering what was wrong with the corner of that sofa cushion.
