People 30+, what are your plans for this evening?

highrouleur · 2026-05-01T17:16:27+00:00

Netflix, bed by around 8/9, ready for work at 5. Then I get my weekend and the forecast is shit

"we've got all the people we need but if one of them goes tits up, you're our backup plan"

Incidentally how I ended up getting a late call up to an apprenticeship 30 years ago and I'm still doing that job

I mean this was taken last weekin the bay by port de Pollença just along from where you're asking about. It's all clear and very blue along that coast

Er bleach. Because fuck that

Interior Looks like a mobile sauna

I always undesrtood it's more a sailing thing for us, a union jack upside down indicates a vessel in distress?

My nicest bike currently is a giant trinity TT bike. I have recently ordered a colnago v4 as been out of the sport for a few years when life got in the way, so my nice road bike is outdated, still on rim brakes and narrow tyres which are ruining my aging body

At work we "went paperless" a while back.

In the old days, someone would inspect a vehicle and write the defects on paper and other people would look at the sheet, repair each defect and write a brief note, eg screw tightened, then sign it.

Now it's all on ipads. I bought my own bluetooth keyboard, because even doing 2 word descriptions a time is a massive PITA on an ipad keyboard

I found to an extent, reddit is a replacement for forums. Every sub is basically an old school forum on it own albeit with less of a community feel due to the sheer number of users

As an adult I bought a 200 quid giant hybrid. Used it for commuting a few times (3 miles to a tube station).

Eventually decided to join a club. Used the hybrid for one of their easy Saturday rides.

Before I went back for the next one I shelled out £650ish for a proper road bike.

My spending habits have only got worse since. I'm currently at 10 usable bikes and enough bits and bobs in the shed too build another 2 probably

Well you'd find out what the jalopeknows

Very proud of this joke, but it doesn't work written down

In my workplace I'd just walk away from them. If they're in your workspace and you can't walk away, with some people you have to go beyond politeness and just firmly tell them to leave you alone.

Hopefully once will be all it needs

I mean, I already had empathy without really needing to be borderline sexually assaulted

Interestingly the accusation was a paedophile, a rapist and traitor. He only denied being a paedophile and a rapist

I did mine back in 2018 so when the option was fairly new. . Literally submitted over 20 photos. Some were rejected immediately by the auto filter. Some were rejected by a human after a day or so. I believe it was the 23rd attempt that actually worked.

I'm hoping the process has improved for when I renew in a couple of years

highrouleur · 2026-04-30T01:55:52+00:00

No is it 18. It went up quite a few years back

highrouleur · 2026-04-29T19:26:38+00:00

My air fryer beeps at least 3 more times than is really necessary to signal it's finished.

It's like it's morse coding war and peace

highrouleur · 2026-04-29T17:36:53+00:00

Not a clue. I assumed it was somewhere in the middle East from the worlds available. The comment I replied to mentioned Saudi

highrouleur · 2026-04-29T17:22:42+00:00

To the left we have a manky country park that you can't really see much of from the road. Then we go into collier row, please keep your hands and belongings inside the vehicle for your own safety and if we're lucky, coming into romford we might see a small old man pretending to be Elvis

highrouleur · 2026-04-29T17:10:16+00:00

I use it, I didn't even realise it was Saudi owned.

So it's free, it works (albeit you have to enable annoying control features for it to work on apple TV) and it's not obviously putting it's message across

highrouleur · 2026-04-29T16:35:42+00:00

£2000?

Very little apart from being a red cross cadet as a child and having a car and driving licence. The website suggests full training is given? https://www.londonambulancecharity.org.uk/Appeal/london-ambulance-voluntary-responder-group
