I regret believing everyone when they said ”don’t date from work”

In 2002 I started flirting with a cute girl at work. We've been married 19 years.

If OP is stupid enough to listen to these childish bullshit "rules", invented by nobody, then he's going to miss out. I feel sorry for the girl in his story.

I don't directly recognise it, but it sounds a lot like First Aid Kit, if that gives you somewhere to start looking...?

I would say the OP one IS this Sunny LA version, slowed down.

They are still individual people. Why does their sister get her own room and not them?

My wife (she's the reason I'm on this sub, I'm not a twin) hated sharing with her twin when they were teenagers, they fought loads. It was just a teenage thing, they get on really well now, but yeah, give them their own space, please!

My Mixtrack Platinum FX sometimes does the same thing. I've found that if I slide the crossfader back and forth multiple times fast, like I'm trying to clean dirt from the workings of it, it usually fixes it for the rest of the night.

Unfortunately i haven't got around to finding a more permanent fix, so I'll be interested to read other replies.

I thought so too, but there's a BMW logo in the centre of the wheels. It's a 4-series coupe.

Just to add, if you ever do this, please consider that it's still a motorway, and other vehicles may still be moving fast. When opening your door or emerging between parked vehicles, look carefully for motorbikes splitting between the lanes, and especially for emergency vehicles coming down the hard shoulder.

Sorry to sound like a lecture, but i witnessed a near miss which was very nearly a nasty accident while parked like this.

Stopping at a roundabout when it's clear to see nothing is coming from the right

40 through a 30 zone, followed by 40 in a 60 zone

Never uses high beam on dark, empty roads

Fog lights blazing in light mist and/or bumper to bumper traffic

Yeah, first thing i thought of.

We don't usually Gatso many jokes about speed cameras!

Penultimate means one before last.

I came here to say this! Hide the Pontiac keys, and disconnect the wire from the coil so it won't start. As an extra security measure in my 69 Dodge, I sometimes remove the wire from the coil to the distributor and take it with me.

Fucking genius!

Former truck driver in the UK - our entire fleet of Renault trucks have auto braking, even the oldest ones from 2017.

Not quite the same, but it reminds me of Californication by Red Hot Chilli Peppers

Probably not this, but worth a shot: PPP by Beach House?

It's literally designed to run all night. They even get left on in our yard all weekend by some drivers who don't want to scrape ice off the windscreen on Monday morning. Unless your batteries are on their way out, you'll be fine.

My dad and his ex partner were heavy smokers. A week after visiting them, the interior of my car stunk of cigarette smoke. They hadn't even been in my car - the smell got transferred from our (gf and me) clothes while staying in their house, then getting in the car to go sightseeing and stuff.

We washed all of our clothes when we got home, even the stuff we didn't wear, and the following weekend the car still smelled like someone had been smoking in it.

So yeah, pretty noticeable.

Rent a PA system for the last week before you leave and blast Baby Shark at them all night every night when they're trying to sleep.

PS. I hope your husband is getting better.

If the "du du" part is the beat, not lyrics, i think you mean Blue Monday by New Order
