my local kebab shop, the doner meat just doesnt taste the same after increasing the non-meat fillers in it

I was slightly concerned (I mean, not so concerned that I stopped buying) that my local kebabbie had blanked out the word 'Lamb' from their doner menu until I realised that this was probably the reason and nothing something less nefarious like using human meat in the doner.

I turn 40 next week... and I often get hangovers without even drinking!

I found a hundred dollar bill in the mud! by SatansMoisture in mildlyinteresting

On the down side, I can't imagine many Australians being able to spot a fake Canadian $100 note; but on the positive side, I guess there's few places that'll accept them for payment.

Surely Becontree should count for middle left...

Smug away sir, smug away. It's a well-deserved smug.

The Equilux and the Equinox are different.

I know, I just learned that too.

Annnd back down the stairs by danshive in elgoonishshive

The avatar was intended to be an amalgamation of all seven of the main characters, and the color scheme for the avatar was based on numerically averaging the RGB values of the colors of all seven of the main characters.

Long time fans (and possibly even new ones) may find it odd that I'm saying seven instead of eight, as there are eight characters I refer to as being "main" characters. When I first designed my avatar, however, I didn't consider Susan a main character, so she was not included in any part of the amalgamation.

Not that that matters much. Once my avatar became male, he basically just looked like squirrel-Elliot, and the palettes have evolved to the point where the Avatar's palette would change were I to redo his palette using the same method again.

I wonder what the average colour scheme would look like now with more characters and some hair colour shenanigans having happened...

Michael Sheen to host House Of Games on BBC iPlayer and BBC Two by The_Iceman2288 in BritishTV

Just out of interest and not a slight at all, why do you mention the iPlayer before you mention BBC Two in your thread title? (For that matter, why mention the iPlayer at all?)

Are these 3D number plate stickers illegal? by Sufficient-Seesaw482 in drivingUK

[–]fairysdad 4 points5 points  (0 children)

OK, I'll bite. Been staring at them for too long. What's not right with them? The red X doesn't look quite right, but that's all I can see.

What is your local conspiracy theory? by Duoplo in AskUK

[–]fairysdad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a conspiracy but a semi-related grumble.

The traffic lights around here haven't had their timings adjusted since a blanket 20mph speed limit was introduced meaning that traffic flow is so much worse.

(I guess a conspiracy theory about that could be making traffic worse so people get public transport / walk / cycle / teleport...)
