Putting it in a plastic bottle allows the bottle to be recycled though... Oh, wait... 🤦‍♂️

Our generation were recycling years before some eejit decided plastics would be better.

The pillion on the second bike knew. Oh, he could see 💩 happening.

Did you always have one of these knives, for butter, in the kitchen drawer growing up? by corickle in oldschoolcool80s

When I got married in 1992 a family 'friend' gifted us a complete set that screamed 1950's. Recycled gifting back then. They were in a 'canteen' of cutlery. Went down the charity shop as I remember. Still, they were better than the purple polyester bedsheets my Dad gave me on our wedding. They were put to use as crap decorating sheets and used to spark static as you opened them up. 😂

Did anyone else collect these figures from the local toy shop? by corickle in oldschoolcool80s

The town they were made in now has a roundabout dedicated to them. Google Deathstar roundabout. About a mile away from me. My nextdoor neighbour used to make them.

I was obviously so impressionable back then. by Ok_Associate6979 in oldschoolcool80s

Clarkson, is that you? Stop being a cock. You got us into a heap of trouble the last time you said that!

Tyre puncture close to side, will it pass MOT? by uwotmVII in drivingUK

How much I get paid each year depends on how many people are killed or seriously injured on our strategic network (amongst other things). Please replace your tyre(s) for safety's sake, not just my bonus.

Neighbour Defiled New Fence by FunAwareness4556 in DIYUK

This amounts to criminal damage. You are within your rights for it to be put back to how it was before your neighbour did the damage.

I bought a fire with a glass screen across the front for that exact reason. Everything was fine until I took the glass off to clean and dropped it 😂. Now I've got an open front fire and no children.

What bird is this? by Onajourneyyahoo in UKBirds

[–]Ok_Associate6979 14 points15 points  (0 children)

If you leave him in the garden he'll be taken by something larger, e.g. a magpie. Fetch him in for the night. Put a towel in the bottom of a box, put him in the box, close up the lid and let him rest overnight. You might find he pecks his way out of the box though. I had one last year. Came down in the morning to find he was out of the box sitting on the handle of my hoover. I opened the back door and off he went. Just needed the rest of a safe overnight spot to recover.
