In the early 70s, I repainted and customised the cars with tiny aerofoil spoilers to make them look more (for the time) 'modern'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A pay and display ticket sounds more like a council run car park, the council is a completely different beast to the likes of parking eye. I had an erroneous ticket from Parking Eye 6 months ago. Almost exactly the same situation as choffer's but I don't think there was photographic evidence. I contacted them directly and told them of the error and they cancelled it over the phone 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted February 22 VT Supporter Share Posted February 22 So The Guinness Book of records has stripped a now dead, former World's Oldest Dog of its title because "It had no evidence that it was as old as claimed". Kind of begs the question why did they pronounce it the world's oldest dog in the first place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean the same people that refused to accept the world record for the tallest structure made out of matchsticks because the matchsticks used had no heads on them… only to relent a few days later when the people who run the hobby pointed out that no one builds matchstick models with matches with heads on because of the massive fire risk Genuinely happened a couple of weeks ago 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-Dog Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Genuine question - How long does it take for a pint of lager to 'work' (as in, how long to get you most intoxicated) and how long to wear off again? I was trying to work out how many pints you could drink (with a suitable time gap between each) without ever being more than 'one pint' intoxicated. (It's been a slow work day) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(It's been a slow work day) My ex actually studied that at uni (but using vodka not beer) From memory there's loads of different factors in it and it's not any set rule, so being tall or being fat etc doesn't necessarily mean one thing or the other, it impacts absorbtion rate but not your ability to flush it out of your system So how long to get intoxicated is different for every person but as a norm it takes approx. 30 mins for alcohol to turn up in your blood and then you pass 1 unit per hour, take a pint as being 2 units so it takes 2 hours to go back to zero The scary thing about that is then when you try and work out what time on a Sunday morning you are safe to drive and actually find the answer to be Tuesday afternoon... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is exactly what I was after, thank you V4E - I don't drink if I'm driving, went to Fulham last week and I had three pints of lager, last one at 2pm - I knew I'd be driving again at 6pm - I did the research, and I could have been over the limit based on the science. I didn't realise it hit like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Xela Posted February 23 Popular Post Share Posted February 23 The most i'll ever drink if I'm driving is one pint, if its with food and over a couple of hours. Otherwise its soft drinks. 2 pints and i'd feel it, and it would impact my driving, even if I was technically under the limit. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily, I don’t ‘need’ to drink when I’m out so that one pint would only be if I really fancied it and felt like I’d be fine after it. I did recently have a half pint, but I won’t do that again it wasn’t one thing or the other. Not enough drink to last a whole fish n chips and made my hand look huge! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
