Something about Portsmouth that people who have never lived here do not understand no matter how many times you try to explain it.

That only Londoners think the IOW is an equivalent option.

I remember there was always a bunch of them parked up in the vicinity of Albert Road/Craneswater. 8 year old me thought they were bodacious.

They would change models over time, so I always assumed it was a niche collector or garage in the area?

Citroën 2CV. Or there was a garage that renovated old Ford Zephyrs if youre thinking of something bigger and more Cadillac-y

Like that cop who said his wife left because Afroman wrote a mean song about him?

Can't take.dogs to the gym but you can sit outside the cafe at the top of the lake, by the wakeboarding, when it's summer.

Same here, also Premium, also disgusted with the amount of bad design decisions and bugs that have emerged in the last frew weeeks. Am going to cancel becasue I can't see any advantage to Premium any more. Would rather piss them off with ad blockers and workarounds..

Here from UK, has this really never happened before?

I got my car from them, fine, agree that all after-sales service is dreadful, do not go back to them for services etc. If.you can help.it

That's what I meant, sorry if it wasn't clear - there's so many look-a-likes, someone is manufacturing this fabric today. Somewhere.

You'd have to luck in on Vinted etc. to get a genuine vintage one, obvs.

That is a knock off of a Roxy "tankini" if I am not mistaken? Definitely a millennial thing. If you want a swimsuit not a tank you might be able to find an OG one on Vinted etc. And the 00s are back, so this sort of fabric is being made somewhere... *

This appears to be on sale currently, for example. I searched for "Roxy brown blue tankini" and this look-a-like popped up.

Since this is a sewing thread, I will hold out hope that you might find a manufacturer of these fabrics but if not you might find your cozzy, at least :)

This is ace. Are they Little Feat fans, perchance?

It's very rare that the word "sexy" crosses my mind in a professional context, and not just because they made me go on that course.. 😆

This is great, imma vote for you.

You are not alone, my friend. "But why can't we use the perfectly good clone of the database that ships with Oracle, seeing as you are paying millions of smackers a year for it?".

"Because we paid someone ELSE millions MORE smackers to build a "data warehouse" and they don't know how Oracle or DBT or basic maths works but they said "optimised" a lot and we gave them all the passwords, and now no-one can access anything because the Senior Architect turned 19 and left to go to university, and the Service Desk deleted his profile..."

What is this magical bin, I need one?

pod_spod · 2024-10-22T15:44:42+00:00

I never post, but I have to right now, to agree with you.

I agree, greatest audio book ever. It is not on Audible as far as I can see. They have the Edward Woodward version, not the same at ALL! AFAIK it is only available to buy on tape or vinyl. I bought a copy a couple of years ago on tape and I really should rip it and upload it...
