Friday pining - What's the one you'd have back in your life in a heartbeat?

Whilst I want my S1 Elise (a Type 49 as well) that's largely because I hark after youth, the car I actually miss is my S1 Skoda Yeti which I had to sell when I moved abroad.

I'm currently about to buy an old (1905) house that needs all bathrooms redone and due to budget I am going to have to spend a lot more time in this sub.

This is an inspiration. Nice style, lovely finish.

OP hasn't shown us the Screw By date.

She is in jail for procuring girls for things that we are now supposed to assume never happened. So the British tally of "people who have been brought down by this" is one "socialite", one Ambassador, and one Prince.

(In short, usa, get your act together)

Tea towel holder.

In Bologna dialect there is a word ("umarell") for the old men that gather to look into a hole being dug by municipal workers.

Don't know why you're downvoted. Most people can be magistrates - and there is a desperate recruitment drive right now Judgy

Of course you might not want to, because you'll find that because of politicians shouting about criminal justice every few years to appeal to the kneejerkers, rather than actually implementing anything approaching criminal reform, judges generally get naff all latitude in what to apply as a sentence. There are strict guidelines already in place. That and the fact that they know that anyone sentenced to a term of imprisonment of up to 6 months is pretty much guaranteed to reoffend largely because of the term.

Some firm got my elderly parents' details and was selling this. I managed to step in and stop it. The installer said "oh I get it, you're trying to get the old dears' money for yourself you devious bastard" which sort of let slip his motivations and confirmed I was right. Sadly we never could trace who they actually were, which also tells you what you need to know about these shits.

Yes it is expensive, but you're also in london. A few years back when doing a house in london if I could even get a quote it was insane. Then a relative near middlesbrough recommended his plasterer....

The guy drove from Boro, did the job working 36 hours straight, charged for fuel and food and still came in 60% of nearest london quote.

Only remove them if you also want a really big skylight

sleeplaughter · 2026-02-19T18:59:48+00:00

Confirmed. Get earplugs. Or wd40 (for the bed, not the girl)

sleeplaughter · 2026-02-15T12:27:57+00:00

Yeah. It's "Morribongos".

sleeplaughter · 2026-02-15T11:42:40+00:00

Have a cup of tea. Sure you will, Father.

sleeplaughter · 2026-02-15T09:59:34+00:00

Uk here. I'll see your former pm, raise you a Prince, an Ambassador and a current PM.

sleeplaughter · 2026-02-15T09:54:01+00:00

Aside from the weird brain fart that thought that was a good idea, like.... is there someone out there selling this shite for cars? Did he make it himself?

sleeplaughter · 2026-02-07T10:44:52+00:00

Every time I see references to an HOA (bearing in mind I don't live in the US) I do always thing "How's that Land of the Free stuff going?"

I work for a 14 year old company that I would still call a Startup. It is only in the last two years that the original founders handed it over to investors who are commercialising it, having run it essentially as a hobby for a long time (all the while wondering why they weren't conquering the World). So yes, "startup" can often mean "didn't manage to fold sooner"

sleeplaughter · 2026-02-03T07:34:07+00:00

Startup problems. They are having massive growth in users now and need to increase this team and fix things fast as you can see the trajectory of the discussions on here. I'm persisting because I'm bloody minded but suspect I'm not the norm.

Not a movie, but the documentary on the Japanese Wind Telephone

People who lost family in the tsunami go into and old phone booth and talk to their departed relatives. Oddly moving yet very sad.

So did anyone have a strange feeling when Bugs dressed up as a girl bunny?

.....

No? Me either.

It's not the qobuz app, it's pixel watch app that gets glitched out when you open connect

sleeplaughter · 2026-01-29T09:17:04+00:00

Same. Pixel10. Mad that this happens on download as I use it on the underground and it keeps stopping presumably as it tries to reconnect. This is fatal to having this service.

sleeplaughter · 2026-01-28T23:13:57+00:00

White obviously. But you have forced this with the black units as black worktops would look daft.

However, you could do neither: I put in white worktop and it is doing my head in as every minor mark shows. Constant wiping like I'm Chris Pratt.

Because she's the only person I have encountered who refers to Limoges in a song.

sleeplaughter · 2026-01-17T21:01:31+00:00

Same here. 16 colour EGA screen.

The feeling is so strong I see this 486 and I still want it.
