Road numbers are pretty silly and go all over the place plus many similar ones are in the same area For example to get from Liverpool to Bristol I'll go Chester, Wrexham, Oswestry, Welshpool, Newton, Llanidloes, Rhayader, Builth Wells, Talgarth, Crickhowell, Abergavenny, Raglan, Newport, Bristol. The only road numbers I could tell you are A5, A470 and M4 the rest I'm oblivious too despite doing the route many times 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 This makes me feel sad rather than p^@@ me off, but when I don't know the name of things like trees, flowers, shrubs, birds and things like that in nature; I see these things every day so strange that I haven't got a clue what a lot of them are called. Same with architecture I can see buildings not really have much of clue when they were built or what the different parts mean. Walking and looking around for me is like trying to read a story where I don't understand any of the words. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 (edited) I have done with some of them, but there are an awful lot of different trees, flowers, shrubs, birds and insects and so on. Edited October 22, 2019 by useless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 I’m pretty good at flags and fish, I’m pretty good on architectural terms. I’m good at identifying accents and languages. Really quite poor at flowers, plants, trees, birds, aircraft, footballers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KentVillan Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 When people laugh at something I don't find funny, or laugh too much at something mildly amusing. I know it's their right, and I'm just being a word removed, but it grinds my gears so much. Especially when people do that "I can't breathe" thing at some basic derivative clichéd innuendo, and I just want to knock them out. Am I mental? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post HanoiVillan Posted October 22, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 22, 2019 Bought a laptop with Windows 10 on it. Now the missus has got a new job doing online teaching, and needs to use the laptop. Yet every **** menu seems to contain a record of some dirty movies I've watched in my me-time. 'Historical activity'! 'Favourites'! 'You might like to revisit this again'! Just piss off you grass. 3 1 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
