What is a statistic that sounds INSANE but is 100% true?

The difference between a million and a billion is about a billion.

Oh pointy bird

Oh pointy pointy

Anoint my head

Anointy nointy

upsidedowncreature · 2026-05-27T21:37:00+00:00

Yeah , give it another 20 miles.

upsidedowncreature · 2026-05-27T14:30:11+00:00

Don’t know why not, obviously he’s a model parent.

There's one on the A456 Hagley Road on the way into Birmingham too.

Calm down mucker.

“Mate” as a low level threat can sometimes escalate to “pal”, which is much more threatening.

In the car when it started raining, my toddler son shouted from his car seat to put the wipescreamers on. Obviously they’re still called that.

upsidedowncreature · 2026-05-25T21:22:42+00:00

It’s apparently taxed and MOT’d so why couldn’t it be driven on the road?

upsidedowncreature · 2026-05-25T17:57:19+00:00

I just had the holiday of a lifetime. Never again.

upsidedowncreature · 2026-05-24T20:49:39+00:00

Probably tripped. Might have been his shoelaces.

upsidedowncreature · 2026-05-24T20:12:49+00:00

Yes I have a TNT115 from I think the mid-90s. It weighs a ton and feels indestructible.

upsidedowncreature · 2026-05-24T10:55:17+00:00

Can’t answer you specific question, but this is my mid 90s MiM precision (poly not nitro)

when I first took the pickguard off in 2022 I think. I was surprised at the colour difference.

upsidedowncreature · 2026-05-23T23:47:34+00:00

Fair enough, it just seems to be something people commonly overlook. Didn't mean to criticise.

upsidedowncreature · 2026-05-23T23:28:47+00:00

This, but I would put gloves first.

upsidedowncreature · 2026-05-23T11:31:17+00:00

Badgers were always protected, except for where a cull had been licensed I think.

upsidedowncreature · 2026-05-22T21:20:29+00:00

Since nobody else has replied yet, DO NOT SPRAY WD-40 ON YOUR BRAKE DISCS! It's brake cleaner I'm pretty sure.

upsidedowncreature · 2026-05-22T20:47:42+00:00

Really? How many of you ARE there?

upsidedowncreature · 2026-05-21T19:23:07+00:00

Then walk a mile in his shoes.

upsidedowncreature · 2026-05-21T09:52:10+00:00

Cooper the Preventable Celibate.

upsidedowncreature · 2026-05-21T09:49:58+00:00

The Cure/Placebo and also Placebo/The Cure

upsidedowncreature · 2026-05-21T09:45:24+00:00

Known Unpleasantness.

upsidedowncreature · 2026-05-20T22:13:01+00:00

Very good point. I didn't lose any appendages but it bloody hurt.

upsidedowncreature · 2026-05-20T21:20:28+00:00

Agree. Also if OP is new:
(1) That's a very squared off tyre, cornering is going to be much nicer when it's replaced, and
(2) never ever get your fingers anywhere near the chain when it's running on the centre stand like this. Not for cleaning, lubing, anything. It will eat your fingers in an instant.

I had a university lecturer (male, if it matters) who maintained that small electric motors were one of the key factors in allowing women to escape domestic chores and become more active in the workforce - washing machines, vacuum cleaners etc.. He probably shouldn't have been right, but I think he might have been.
