KentVillan Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Every time @chrisp65talks about putting people on ignore I do wonder if I'm on his list. I feel like a hypocrite because I've had to click You've chosen to ignore content by chrisp65. Options to read his vicious slights on the VT community, but I can't resist the temptation.

I have a relatively large drive, four cars easy with only one being blocked in Due to the amount of space I always reverse onto the drive and park sideways on as it gives a much safer exit when leaving the house Last time she turned up, she just turned in and parked facing forwards (I care not about this) but she completely blocked my car in, you know, the one that will be used over the weekend Right, so before she turned up this time I reversed on but just straight and all the way to the right of the drive leaving what I can only describe as a F**KING HUGE Space in the rest of the drive. Yep she turned up and parked straight on directly next to my car meaning I now have to bounce it up and down the raised kerb to get on and off the drive She has got no common sense whatsoever, she's an electronic engineer that makes and designs military grade telecoms Thats me off to the pub What's wrong with asking her to move and telling her where the best place to park in the future is?

I hate boxing. Would never watch it, would never do it, and would never encourage my kids to do it. I've heard all the arguments about how technical and skilful it is, but ultimately it's punching people and hurting them. It's violence. It disgusts and saddens me in equal measure. It should be confined to history, and I would happily ban it. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 Hit a pheasant in my car. Stupid thing skipped out of a hedge and stopped dead in front of me on a national speed limit road. No time to react or brake as it was only about 20 feet in front of me 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, this is one of those topics that I see trending on Google when I do a search. Now I clicked on it on this occasion - Kinder recently recalled a load of eggs due to salmonella concerns - so bearing in mind it’s Easter and my daughter might be given a crème egg, I check to see if there’s a similar health risk. It comes up with the dross you’ve highlighted there, which seems to give the impression people didn’t realise the cream inside was trying to look like a boiled egg. The articles (yes I’ve seen more than one) repeatedly use a tweet of some bloke asking what is the “goo” inside the chocolate (I think he meant is it a technically a fondant or something). The reason I mention this tweet is that it’s being used as an example of the current debate, but it was posted in 2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why most professional UFC fighters, Boxers have never used there skills out of the ring, they would usually talk themselves out of a situation. I myself did martial arts for 12 years, an a little bit of boxing (at the Holte pub), when I was a lad. To learn a martial art or box from a young age if taught correctly.will teach a child, discipline, confidence, not to look for trouble, an not to use violence unless absolutely necessary, like when you can't walk away from a situation. This for your child, can only be a good thing surely. One of my pals who now teaches Krav marga, got in alot of trouble when he was younger. He is now one of the most mild mannered guys you would meet, proper polite, an even now would walk away from any trouble. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
