It was made illegal on M-ways, and many females got molested. Just 2 reasons.

I haven't picked up a hitch hiker in 20 years, all gone.

Last one was on the moors, pissing down, woman on her own and drenched.  Running from an abusive husband who had broken her arm.  Was wanting to go to Sunderland to a womans refuge there.  Gave her a handful of cash and took her to the police station where they could fix her up with the refuge.

I felt bad not taking her home, feeding her and giving her a warm bed for the night but had young children at home  (no wife) and thought it might seem pervy to her anyway,

When my C5 said the range was 0 I could still get at least 60 miles out of it.

And filling it up, could get 72L in the 65L tank.

Went to ASDA for some odds and ends.  Don't shop there although it is in easy walking distance, mainly due to the smokers hanging about in the entrance.  Anyway, put my big boy pants on and ran the gauntlet.

Bloody chaos in there, folks wandering about in a daze, focused on their phones.  A scrum for some marked down shit, couldn't get past them or see what it was.

Tills crammed.  Braved the robotill which went OK but I swear is slower than the human operated till.

Not used to this at all as I usually shop in Lidl, of which there are two close by, or Aldi, a choice of three.

Plus a couple of B&Ms & smaller shops.

Always quiet and calm in there, people get on with their shopping with no fuss, don't block the isles and there is rarely a wait at the tills.

Should have gone and got my car, although the trek is almost the same as walking to ASDA.

Trudging back from the shops, in the rain, a Robin Reliant © 😁 came flying round the roundabout, first one I have seen in years.

B prefix, old bloke driving, mixture of shoddy black and blue panels.

No photo as it happened too fast and I was loaded down with shopping.

Spotted LE55 PAY yesterday. It's on a BMW M4 so their pay seems to be adequate.

There's a firm of accountants near where I used to work that has BO55 PAY on one of theirs, an Aston IIRC.

My late wife closely resembled Jane Birkin and when she was pregnant put no weight on other than the baby, placenta and amniotic fluid.  Quite a remarkable baby bump.

Returned to normal within hours of giving birth.

Taylor Swift, Amal Alamuddin (Mrs Clooney)  Ditto.

I love skinny women, Jane Birkin, Françoise Hardy, Taylor Momsen and Princess Lovleybum best of all.

FWIW my mate bought a Toshiba recently and took it back complaining of v similar issues. 

Lovely of someone to buy you a new telly but as with so many things and expensive old thing is better than a cheap new thing

I have an old LG plasma TV.  Rarely watch it but it is excellent image quality.  Mostly used for music DVDs so the sound piped through a stereo that cost a lot more than the TV.

I didn't know what I was looking for, just a replacement TV and was shown the difference between LED and plasma TVs.  The choice was easy.

Keeps the room warm too  

Not cars but they are transport.

Ingrid Bergman with her twins Isotta and Isabella Rosselini,  the first one is almost an Isetta so almost qualifies.

Mad magazine decades ago when ⇑ they were popular described them as a (Makername) 'Firewood'

Ed:  Ooops, another post sneaked in as I was replying.

^ As long as JB is in it that's sufficient 

Herald looks a bit boxed in.

Jane Birkin again.

Paint, it’s shite nowadays. Wtf is going on?

I’m decorating the hall & landing, used Dulux (so not cheap crap) it’s magnolia over what is already magnolia, so no massive colour changes & literally every surface needs 3 coats (some bits 4) & same with the woodwork. Tin says ‘one coat’ yeh right one coat my arse.

Agree.  I bought 'proper paint', undercoat and gloss, Alkyd, not 'water based' and I am familiar with it skinning over overnight, usually jut cut round the skin and lift it out, but this stuff (again Dulux*) was like porridge and trying to use it was hopeless.  I had to go and try and buy womens stockings to strain it through.  Good luck with that!  Had to get vegetable bags from Lidl to strain it through.

* not my first choice, far prefer Johnstones paints, even if it does come from the Leyland factory now.

You like those knees?

Most knees leave something to be desired but overall her legs are fine.

Could just be the way she is standing, they change all the time.

Insured for $40,000,000 so they must be OK.

Don't care for her music/singing though.

Am not a fan of those legs, tbh

I'm the opposite, love the legs.  I do think that she looked better a few years ago when she wasn't using so much makeup.
