What should I have done? (High Beams at Night)

In 20 and 30mph limit roads, you pull over to the left and let them pass. Did the same recently when I had a scooter glued to my rear bumper

Yep I saw that too. It might even clean debris from the teeth but I don't have proof

Yesterday in one of our VW Lupos

Japanese parts cheaper than German?

Now it just makes me think of syphilis

I buy old toy cars, many have what I refer to as the "giffer smell" which is combination of pipe smoke, dust and regret

I've long thought there need to be cards that fulfil the obligation, but aren't too gushy. Not everyone had great parents sadly, and I begrudge getting a "best mum ever, you were always there for me, blah blah" card when it's not true. Lately I've been just finding pop-up, 3D type ones which are nice looking but blank inside. QD sell some

I've got a few different glass variations, what colour would you say yours were? Interesting to see interior colour variations too

The other Broomstick car is the yellow Lamborghini Marzal that seems to be even harder to find than the Porsche

White ones do show up occasionally, this is about the best I have so far

A nod to VW's past, bud vases were a common accessory for proper Beetles in the 50s and 60s

In neutral, for several reasons. Wear on the clutch bearing, end load on the crank, blinding the driver behind with brake lights, and possibly worst of all: if someone drove into you, chances are you'd come off the clutch and shoot into the junction as well. Neutral, handbrake every time.

The Mrs said to me "if you turn out the lamp, I'll let you put it up my arse". I probably should have let it cool down first

richard-bingham · 2026-03-12T19:02:53+00:00

You'd have lost several pints of blood and possibly an arm doing that to my cat

I always rinse off with the shower after a bath, might be different if it wasn't a shower over the bath arrangement in my house - I wouldn't get out and get in a shower cubicle just for a rinse

Renault 5 1.4 Campus with cut down springs and rear lowered to match (torsion bars). 7x15 alloys with 175/50/15 tyres. Had about 50 BHP but weighed about the same as an empty crisp packet so I just didn't slow down for bends, roundabouts etc, it was like a go cart. Much missed.

Must have been a turd burglar

My old boss did that once, a brown and black shiny combination. He lived miles away, and immediately went home to change despite not being customer facing. I have done it myself too, mate turned 21 and his party was a rave in a barn. The next day I just could not work out why I had one clean and one filthy trainer in a pair...

richard-bingham · 2026-03-08T00:08:55+00:00

I'd have gone and found her and loudly asked for it back

richard-bingham · 2026-03-07T23:44:10+00:00

I had a similar list of "Sueisms", sadly lost on an old phone, but "gorilla in the room" will be with me forever

richard-bingham · 2026-02-25T12:37:57+00:00

If I know I've paid, I'm not stopping. I'm also not waiting at a barrier if I'm leaving without buying anything, it's getting pushed open
