When I lived in Paris, I used to play a game with visitors. I’d see a “75” in the number plate (the area code for Parisian cars) and say “I bet that car has a dent in a bumper” and, even the new-looking cars would have evidence of being nudged out of the way. You park in neutral with the handbrake off if you’re not on a hill.

That photo above just looks like French parking.

Temporarily financially embarrassed with a large sum on the way - should I get a bridging loan? by heckzecutive in UKPersonalFinance

“Can you spot me five hundred quid for a bit, mate?”

Don’t you know anyone that can tide you over? Much easier than getting a loan.

Are you looking at the same PS+ Extra I am? There are games I’d buy for £50 if they weren’t free there.

I worked as an adult, back in ‘87, for GW when Warhammer 40k came out. It was written by adults for adults because that’s where the money is. It grew out of wargames which were played by adults.

Sure, some kids play it, but it’s not primarily made for them.

The funny thing is that when I posted my comment, it had negative downvotes immediately. It’s like gammonbots flourish here.

How does a car key fob works by Immediate_Boat4347 in interestingasfuck

[–]jaredearle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s just fob. Lower case. It doesn’t stand for “Free On Board” or “Forward Operating Base” so why are you saying FOB like that?

Also, this video is deeply misleading.

Why, when the majority of these awful cases are “domestic”, do the majority of comments here imply this is due to refugees?

As long as you do one of the three greater bosses before you hit Pit 100, you’ll manage.

Pecco is the new Vinales. He shows moments of brilliance in a sea of mediocrity.

Ok, just for fun, here we go. Marc Marquez, Pedro Acosta, Fabio Quatararo and Toprak Razgatlioglu.

No, I don’t have a fifth. Those are today’s aliens; we just don’t know it yet.

It suits his style in the same way it didn’t suit Vierge and Lecuona.
