I’m not op, but I’m 55° north… It’s 22:25 here and this is how light it is right now. In another 4 hours, it’ll be nearly full daylight again!

This is the dream ❤️

I think David Mitchell puts it succinctly 👌

If you haven’t kept up, I’d recommend some of the “Ponies at Dawn” albums

Recollections was one of my favourites. Some absolute bangers on there

Ignite starts off insanely strong as well

Oh god yeah you’re bringing back some memories there 😂

So I already knew they were a thing, but annoyingly on some of the vans there was only a single 12v socket, and we had to use that socket to plug in the navigation system/manifest.

So CDs were the easier choice until I got hold of one of those 12v splitters.

The one I had was far bulkier than the one shown.

A lot of the time it didn’t matter anyway because people don’t take care of the vans so a lot of the guys played their shit in the loading bays at full volume and would regularly blow the speakers out.

Sometimes I was going out with a Bluetooth speaker jammed between the dash and windscreen.

I had 100 solutions, it seems. The CDs were just one of them 😂

I taught one of my friends to drive. She now has her first car - a 15 year old Mini - so now she has my old FM transmitter 🥰

Amusingly, I think I remember some of my last ones, though maybe not my absolute final one.

For the most part, I’d already moved away from CDs, but I got a job driving vans which didn’t have Bluetooth or an aux port. I ended up burning a few mp3 CDs für that job some time in late 2014.

Fun fact: one of those CDs contained brony music which I accidentally left in my van one night. I came into work the next day to hear it blaring on the warehouse speakers until I heard someone saying “what is this?” before changing the CD.

The drivers were all talking about it during lunch and I sat there quietly, amused by them trying to figure it out 😂

14 gallons per year? Rookie numbers! I drank more than that on a single 7-day binge!

Yeah, that’s how I read this. She’s not being punished, she’s crying tears of joy as Jesus makes her Dutch!

Am I the only normal person in these comments?

I only want a life-size cutout of Danny Devito, and it’s only £40!

Listen, strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government!

Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony!

You can’t expect to wield supreme executive power just because some watery tart threw a sword at you!

I mean if I went round saying I was an emperor just because some moistened bint had thrown a scimitar at me, they’d put me away!

No no, see, it’s an upright “s” with a sideways “s” going through it. I’ve also got an alternative:

Last Resort as in Papa Roach’s Last Resort?

Can you run one locally on your phone?

I’m sure you could write an entire collection of books on the irrationality of Brexit.

As James O’Brien graciously puts it: “We are the first country in history to have placed economic sanctions upon itself”

I’m with you all the way to the final sentence.

Your indicator usage is linked to your mirror usage. If you use indicators in all situations regardless, what you might actually forget to do is look in your mirrors properly, which is more important.

Your first two mentions are fine examples. In the UK at least, using indicators when entering your driveway or a parking space isn’t necessary if no other cars or pedestrians are approaching your car.

Yeah, I was expecting us to be the lowest number, but nope! Still, 2nd from bottom is pretty bad…

NARF!!

It’s obvious to me. I get that it’s not obvious to her 😂

Oh she does it constantly with everyone 😂 she is aware, and is striving to do it less, but yeah, it’s all confidence.

She loves baking, for example, and is really good at it, but will apologise profusely for how bad they are before anyone has even tasted them. Perfectionism is absolutely a part of it, and I think that’s been imposed on her by her mum who is also a perfectionist and expects everyone else to be a perfectionist.

But yeah, were figuring it out 😊
