Ghosty Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 The seat colours on the overground train from Clapham to Dalston Jct. With bonus sun bleaching..... The seat on the right isn't sun bleached, I think it's a different colour to dictate that it's a priority seat. adw1977 and jumpingjehovahs 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Hooli Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 What is it that is particularly British about this? The 'fist bump'? The overly laid-back affect of the bus driver? The motorcyclist's apparent complete disregard for anything in front of the bus? The only British things about this film are driving on the left and the red bus. Apparent disregard? I fail to see that, he stopped without issue well before the front of the bus so he obviously saw the bloke walking across by looking through the bus. adw1977 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The after you, no, after you exchange between the motorcyclist and pedestrian was pretty fucking British, as was the humorous execution of the fist bump with its so very subtle hint of piss taking and dry sarcasm. Then there's no shouting, nobody left for dead, nor WW3 starting which is what the swarthy continentals would do with such a situation. tinribs, robinmasters, stephen01 and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiltox Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 I thought the fact that not a word was exchanged between any of them was pretty typical too. At least for Laandaan. Craig the Princess, jumpingjehovahs and stephen01 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wuvvum Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 I've bought a VW T5 which I can understand is "not cool" (I have reasons) but it's a 192bhp 5 cylinder turbo diesel and I really didn't anticipate how beautiful it would sound. It's flipping magnificent. Apparently these 2.5s are made of chocolate, but the noise they make will really keep me happy until it plunges me deep into debt.Those 5-pot Dub TDIs do sound lovely. I had an LT28 van with the non-turbo (SDI) version - slow as fuck but that just gave me an excuse to constantly cane the living shit out of it. Good times. cobblers, chodweaver and Lacquer Peel 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xtriple Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Just driving along, roof up but windows down, fat Chester hanging his head out of the drivers side rear window, turning right at a junction and a random lass shouts out: 'Nice car!' Never happened to me before, not even when out in £25Ks of Bentley!

angle Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Get yourself a V6 Gooner auto, bring it to Crail and then we'll settle this. Yours Sincerely, Manual 330 Owner.Ah, but then you'd be expecting it. The beauty of the V6 Laguna is the element of surprise, and making people in stickered-up 320d's try really, really hard not to lose face...

She bought them back today with a box of chocolate! How lovely, and so was the chocolate which we have demolished now...

vulgalour Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 This one time I beat my brother at traffic light grand prix. I was in the Princess, he was in a considerably newer Skoda Felicia estate. He said he wasn't paying attention, but we know the real reason I won is because I'm a much better driver and was in a vastly superior vehicle. I'm also the director of a powerfully built company of directions, and this is what peak physical fitness looks like.

I fail to see that, he stopped without issue well before the front of the bus so he obviously saw the bloke walking across by looking through the bus. I thought the whole point of the video was that the bus driver warned the motorcyclist of the pedestrian's presence, so the motorcyclist slowed down and stopped.

Zelandeth Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Just hauled a huge Collins short wave radio power supply out of the storage attic at work to save it going in the bin.KSW1_PSU_CLOSED_small.jpgThing is the size of a small fridge and weighs about 300lbs.KSW1_PSU_OPEN_small.jpgSadly the radio itself is gone but this thing is a beast. It's all mercury arc rectifiers and other good stuff inside, looks almost military in its construction. PhilMuch want for the PC in the background... That's right smack in the middle of my favourite era of kit to mess about with. Especially portables from that era. Toshiba T5200/200 being probably my favourite computer out of my collection...aside from carrying the darn thing anyway. Granted...so is the Comms gear you'd just dug out too! As for what made me smile today? The look of complete disbelief on the face of the driver of the Impreza WRX who tried to follow me at speed through an otherwise empty roundabout. He had to use all the available road - and got to watch the Activa go through like it was on rails. It's *fun* to mess with people's heads in that car. I do really need to get it on a track sometime though... PhilA, myglaren and Lacquer Peel 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the motorcyclist needed the warning, want me traveling too quickly for the conditions? Can't say I noticed that. I filter a lot quicker than that a lot of the time & still stop in time for things. I've had a similar moment but I locked the front wheel of the bike as I stopped, that woke up the daft lass on her phone not looking as she wandered through traffic.

Datsuncog Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Got an 'Approval Needed' message flashing up on the Tesco self-serve the other night - for a chocolate bar. Careful scrutiny of the ingredients revealed that some part of it (either the filling or the bar overall) did indeed contain 1.4% alcohol. Brilliant. I can see why it's necessary to get store approval from a supervisor if they're classed as liqueur chocolates but, by cracky, you'd need to guzzle a right lot to get a bit of a buzz on... Was quite nice, anyway. 12/10, would intoxicate again. SierraMikeHotel, chodweaver, Rusty_Rocket and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
