There is a real reason for those, it’s if there’s an accident so the emergency services know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feels like a potentially flawed system, sticker admin.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw one the other day after someone was recklessly trying to overtake on a single lane road (typical Polish behaviour actually) and ended up just parked at the same traffic lights in front of me. Thought "It's gonna take more than a **** sticker to save your baby if you crash cause you're driving like a word removed."

Popular Post Mandy Lifeboats Posted August 8, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 8, 2023 I finished power washing the patio today. Mrs Lifeboats is delighted. She will be less impressed in the autumn when she puts away the garden furniture and finds the various "cock n balls" where I haven't cleaned the patio. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Thursdays. On a Thursday, my missus does the week’s supermarket shop, without me. I never ever have to do ‘the big shop’. Thursday evening, the fridge and cupboards are full and the choice is endless and there are treats. Thursday’s evening meal could be anything from anywhere around the world, followed by a maple syrup and pecan pastry. On Thursday evening, my local record shop issues the list of all new stuff they have in from Friday morning. Thursday evening, there is only Friday left, and everyone loves a Friday. I bloody loves Thursdays. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bloody loves Thursdays. I used to love Thursdays, when I was on a diet, life was awful. I never had any joy, apart from Thursdays. Thursday I would weigh in, then get the "worst" food imaginable for tea and a bottle of wine. I loved Thursdays. These days every day is a Thursday. I may buy an album now, because my wife is probably buying tat in Cornwall and there needs to be balance. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AvfcRigo82 Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Was at the supermarket earlier, got to the till to pay for everything at the end as you do and just as i've bagged up everything and about to pay, some guy nudges past me to then lean back and tap his card on the chip and pin machine and pays for it! At first I was a bit like WTF?, but then I seen someone about 10ft away (who was obviously associated with him) standing holding a camera obviously filming this whole thing. I soon realised it was probably one of these latest TikTok trends that must be the new craze of paying for strangers shopping to get famous or something? Either way, I'm not complaining - Silly TikTok trend or no, well done that man. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post rjw63 Posted August 13, 2023 Author Popular Post Share Posted August 13, 2023 You know the surprise party that happens in every sitcom but the protagonist always knows it’s coming? This happened to me yesterday but I had absolutely no idea, almost whole family and my best mate of 55 years all sitting there grinning when I walked in. Had a great time only slightly ruined by the **** Villa result and a Beatles tribute act who luckily only got through one and a half numbers before we got out the door. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this you fishing for a happy birthday Rob? Assuming its a big one if a surprise party so as old as the second Beach Boys album. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes mate a zero number, and the Beatles guy was booked already as they have live music every Saturday, if we weren’t going to Northumberland on Monday we’d have done it then I expect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If my experience is anything to go by, the next decade will fly by in the wink of an eye. My 60th feels like it was about two years ago. It was nine, and now 70 is bearing down on me. Better start planning the pissup, I suppose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
