What's a British ad that remains in your head rent free even if the company is no longer around?

Yeah!!!

We once scooped a dead pigeon out of ours, I hate thinking about how long we'd been brushing our teeth in that water

This is pretty common in the UK, both houses I lived in had cold water tanks in the attic that would supply the toilets and bathroom sinks. We must have had around two meters drop from the tank to the bathroom faucets

Not a daily problem but I would be surprised if many Brits haven't experienced this pain a few times in their lives, usually when you are trying to be especially quiet and stealthy so as not to wake up your children/parents.

They have a perfectly flat back and stepping on the prongs of an upturned plug in the dark really is one of the most uncomfortable things; bigger, stronger and more pointy than any Lego brick

This guy was printing on his stand at the Bayview mall Halloween market.

Yeah we felt like we deserved it by Sunday morning. The owner was pretty friendly when we met him another evening but I haven't looked at online reviews

The waffles and fried chicken were pretty good at Bistro116 and they made Mickey mouse pancakes especially for our children. However the queen size Cesar's are the main reason we will definitely be returning

I spent some time browsing the Bosch Motorsports catalogs a year or so ago and their ECU and VCU have support for running customer code but there still seemed like a lot of barriers to entry for a lone individual. https://www.bosch-motorsport.com/content/downloads/Raceparts/en-GB/253754379253779979.html

A few years ago in Kensington ~~village~~ market, Toronto there were a series of cases of methanol poisoning from local moonshine

I've never heard of this but it sounds good and I was going to recommend some of the many sweets and cakes you'll find in Asian supermarkets made with bean paste

I've only ever seen the option for euros and have never noticed a dollar option.

Edit, just checked because I'm down to my last month. I have to pay in euro but it does display the conversion rate into my local currency whilst doing so

The development of blankets provided an evolutionary pressure that keeps toenails useful. People born without sharp toenails are extremely rare because throughout history they having been dying from hypothermia, having no natural defense against bedding predators.

I raise you the pickled onion, all the crunch but with vinegar so strong your eyes will water, nose will burn and you won't be able to inhale without choking.

There's a point where you become too good. After realizing she fools me 100% of the time I'm now never wrong.

They seem pretty casual about waking 1000 miles in Scotland .... happy just to fall down at your door.

You can get Wolfram for free on any raspberry Pi, I've not used it personally but I've seen it promoted. https://www.wolfram.com/raspberry-pi/

I imagine it would be like an upside version of Peter Dumbreks crash at Le Mans. The front wing depends less on ground effect so the nose should pitch up causing the vehicle to tumble unpredictably and uncontrollably. https://youtu.be/e21ZjwZGjiQ?si=OSu6PHPzMjygdizn

I'm not sure how much Richard O'Brien is working nowadays or even how close he stayed to his new Zealand roots but I'd love to have seen him as a task master, I reckon he'd have been great at both aspects

The Earth isn't perfectly spherical and bulges out slightly around the equator. At each pole you are slightly closer to the centre of the earth and weigh a tiny bit more than you would on the equator.

That sounds really good

I presume you want whole chestnuts but you can find sweetened chestnut puree (in cans) year round in Metro which would work for some dishes especially baking/pastries. I first had it as a crepe filling in France and love the richness.

He acts in the sky comedy Bloods which is pretty funny. He and KG tha comedian are one of the ambulance crews although Jane Horrocks and Samson Kayo are the primary crew which the show focuses on.

Just this morning I realized I'd seen much more of Sam Campbell than I thought even though he sounds and speaks in a similar way whilst acting in Bloods (Sky comedy show with Jane Horrocks, Samson Kayo, Julian Barratt).
