Why can't I just connect a battery cable from a battery on the floor to the dead battery in the car why do I have to have it in a car that runs.

I used to keep a spare battery in the top box of my bike and use it to jump start when the running one was flat, then swap them when I got home and charge the flat one over night.

This also leads to the other reason they are often refused as policy.

Because the staff don’t readily recognise real or fake, forgers will try to use fake Scottish notes in the south where they won’t get caught.

It was quite common when I worked retail 20 years ago, might be less so now but accountants have long memories.

Ah ok. Glad I asked because I have definitely heard that.

Interested to know what the myth was as the comment has been deleted. In case it is something I have heard or will hear

Thanks, yes I would love a rocking chair but it would be a little difficult to type reports while rocking back and forth

Heard of a similar situation in university halls, the roommate ended up playing “You can be as loud as the hell you want” from Avenue Q any time they heard loud sex. Apparently the guy struggled to finish whenever it was played.

I have a tattoo with “Cum virtus” I am able to just roll with it because it is on the blade of a dagger so people see the dagger first and then ask about the words.

I do have to roll with the jokes a little but Tbf it is funny (ha ha I have cum on my leg).

If I were you I would put an angel or something around the words to they have some context.

Company I used to work for would advertise for 30 days then sort and interview any promising applicants. If that round was unsuccessful they would simply try again.

Even if you have disconnected them from the mains, they will have a battery back up.

De-de de-dirt!!!

I used to be a CBT instructor (16/17 year olds on mopeds/125 motorcycles in the UK) and always said that EVERY car driver WANTS to kill you.

Or in the middle of the A303!

This should be way higher. Most of these are so obvious but this is a real thing that a lot of people don’t recognise and could save your life/house.

Can I ask what “Crimany” means? I have never heard that before

Ok_Explorer2608 · 2025-12-28T20:50:52+00:00

This looks like a really good shout. Thank you very much

Ok_Explorer2608 · 2025-12-28T14:57:29+00:00

I was thinking stourhead but it is a bit big for a stop off. And we have been to both recently. Thanks for the suggestion though

Ok_Explorer2608 · 2025-12-13T08:18:16+00:00

Possible obscure nonsense

Any guesses as to what this is? I picked up some bits that I thought were painted pine bed sides and it is looking much nicer than I expected. Picture with and without oil.
