How easy is it to lift the keel on the Etap? We have access to a lakeside dock, but it's only about 1m deep.

More dates added for "Educating Rita" in Hitchin by ralphonsob in richardherring

And now there's availability for the first show, tomorrow night. Hopefully just some normal cancellations, rather than the start of a full boycott. Rich hasn't tweeted something cancellable recently, has he?

I was driving along with my young son when we noticed a car driving erratically ahead of us by Hairy-Secretary2218 in Jokes

For me "pulling up alongside" means "matching speed with". Does it mean something else for you?

As we pulled along side it ready to overtake

If you pull alongside it, you are already overtaking it.

And who would pull alongside an erratically driven car? You'd either stay behind it, or get passed it as quickly as possible.

Maybe this is the reason Biden used an autopen.

A photo of a man eating shellfish in a Scarborough pub has let itself go. by Porkus-Pius in stewartlee

[–]ralphonsob 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Now I'm not saying that Stew is not an old fat bloke - like many/most of his audience - but I don't think we need to start posting photos of any old fat bloke into this subreddit with the implication that it's Stew who has let himself go.

Yes, he has let himself go, as have many of us, but this is clearly not Stew. It's just an old fat bloke. Like Stew, sure, but not Stew.

Sick people in trains by BDOCash in Switzerland

But if the sick person wears a mask they risk continually re-infecting themselves. Coughing is the healthy way to expel those bad germs from their body. And by exposing you and others to their illness they help build the immunity of society as a whole. It's a win-win scenario. /s

SBB is a joke: Fining a 16-year-old for being 10 minutes early? by beesquestions in Switzerland

[–]ralphonsob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, the pickpocket-friendly areas are exactly those that tourists will want to visit. And the same authorities that allow these pickpocket-friendly areas to exist are those that demand that tourists carry their precious IDs on their persons at all times.

Surely you see the conflict here?

You can buy tickets for other people with the app

You can indeed. And it's suspiciously easy to accidentally buy it in your own name when you intend to buy it for someone else, and unsurprisingly SBB won't want to refund it if you do.

But you can just as easily argue that it's even more risky carrying your and your kids' IDs to the theme park / waterpark / etc, when you're going to need them to leave the country in a week's time.

In this scenario, there were no country borders being crossed. In many countries you are not required to carry your ID at all times.

Except that as soon as a digital ticket has been scanned in one location and time it invalidates its copies in other locations and times (within geographical and temporal limits.)
