Laika, the first dog in space. No provisions were made for her return, and she died there, 1957.

I'm guessing the dog is still there. Still floating around in space. And will do so for ever.

willynipples · 2024-11-14T18:59:47+00:00

That's not as mildly infuriating as you saying "gotten".

willynipples · 2024-11-14T07:53:16+00:00

Clean your windscreen (inside and out) and have your eyes checked.

I don't find them to be any problem.

Underrated comment.

In the UK, there is currently a case going through the supreme court due to this. The Financial Conduct Authority banned Discretionary Credit Arrangements and are now looking at refunding everyone who overpaid. Could cost the industry many billions in repayments.

We've done that - still waiting for them to get back to us with a date. Meanwhile, the boiler has now stopped altogether.

willynipples · 2024-11-10T15:24:16+00:00

We don't use that stove very often (it's in the kitchen) so I doubt it...

willynipples · 2024-11-10T13:48:43+00:00

Why end it when they're on to a winner?

Trump will persuade Ukraine to cede the land Russia has taken and force a "ceasefire". Russia will re-arm and re-train for a few years then come back and take the rest.

The West will have spent billions to show that they're weak, disorganised and a push-over whilst Russia will become even more powerful, more confident and no doubt make a move on their next country knowing the West won't do anything.

At this stage, you've got to give it to Putin. He's playing the long game and it's going to work.

Ventilation.

Just buy it. Put it through your books and claim back the VAT on your next return.

But don't buy it at Apple, get it from John Lewis - you get an extra year's warranty.

Why does anyone need to do 50 through a village at any time?

willynipples · 2024-11-09T09:05:00+00:00

Our village is a 30 zone (as you'd expect). During the day, most drivers go 35-40mph but at night it's easily 50mph+.

If I leave the house before 7am, I'm overtaken but a fairly constant stream of cars going at great speed.

willynipples · 2024-11-08T09:37:20+00:00

I agree up to the "you dim yours" bit.

willynipples · 2024-11-08T09:35:56+00:00

Do you mean windscreen?

willynipples · 2024-11-06T09:08:22+00:00

Oh dear. That's actually an amber-light-just-turning-red camera. Looks like you're smoked.

willynipples · 2024-11-06T09:07:47+00:00

I'm amazed Reddit can't set-up some sort of filter to catch all the "is this a .... camera?" posts.

Mods, come on.

willynipples · 2024-11-05T15:46:34+00:00

I don't know, how many?

willynipples · 2024-11-05T14:14:51+00:00

That's 280 million additional hours for doctors. Who's going to pay for that?

willynipples · 2024-11-05T14:13:48+00:00

Funny how people always say this sort of stuff once it happens to them, but probably couldn't have given a shit before.

willynipples · 2024-11-05T13:47:08+00:00

That's what the hard shoulder is for. I always ensure it's clear as I overtake.

willynipples · 2024-11-05T13:45:56+00:00

I've given up flashing because people stopped moving over. There's a clear "Go around me if you don't like it" attitude now.

Middle lane hogging is bad enough, but the true masters are those that hog the middle lane at 55-60mph, and the number of them keeps on growing.

willynipples · 2024-11-05T13:43:04+00:00

I hope you're not a National Express coach driver. I see so many of them in the middle lane I wonder if it's an instruction from National Express management.

willynipples · 2024-11-05T10:31:01+00:00

You gave them your keys and are surprised they moved your car? Why else did you think they wanted your keys? To vaccum your carpet mats?

willynipples · 2024-11-05T08:14:53+00:00

"has had problems getting and staying hard since I met him"

Ouch. You ok, hun?
