I don't get it as I'm not keen to see any image of a nob... Maybe I'm unusual... That was about 10yrs ago the lad did that so even that picture isn't recent. My mates and I did one on the roof of Woolies in Worthing in about 1987. We used to try getting onto the roof of all the buildings in town to pull moonies at the people shopping below. When we got onto Woolies there was a can of paint and instinct took over and a CDC was made. I've just looked and there's defo a knob shape at the bottom of the picture. I'd be very surprised if its ours mind you 33 years later but you never know. Fumbler, Roobarb, stonedagain and 2 others 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-A505FN using Tapatalk  That Vectra at the traffic lights is going to get a very stiff neck trying to watch them go green. Also the pedestrian crossing call boxes have no matching green man signal. Nor is there a designated marked way for the pedestrians to cross or even traffic to stop at the line. I'm sure there is more there that would cause @angle to have a few twitches. myglaren, Roobarb and Floatylight 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rovorsche Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 A low budget documentary on Amazon Prime has cheered me up tonight Have a watch of a 2009 series called "Deadliest Journeys" in particular an episode from Cameroon about Taxi Drivers The bravest drivers in Cameroon are named the "Clandos". They drive illegal taxis and are the only ones who are brave enough to navigate the country's dangerous road networks, some of the worst on the African continent. Only 2% of the roads have been asphalted. All of the country's inhabitants rely on the Clandos' taxi services, they have no other choice. Â Found a taster in French http://tvmag.lefigaro.fr/programme-tv/programme/les-routes-de-l-impossible-f145963927 Â Full episode in French, the pictures do not need translation....... https://www.koreus.com/video/oscar-taxi-clando-cameroun.html Alan_Green and Roobarb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Water lane is awful as you're pulling in and out of parked cars all the time or avoiding people who must be going somewhere really important, as they just pull straight out past the cars onto your side of the road without warning. The A259 is AWFUL past Angmering, they left verges at the side of the single lane bits so that they could widen it but never have. But its not limited to there. Going along the A27 to Portsmouth is awful as its traffic hell all day, especially at Arundel & Chichester (although I understand the Arundel bypass is bring built now, that McDonald's will finally fulfil its destiny 30 yrs after it was built) but if you go past L.A. and Bognor etc big bits are also chocca and theres extra roundabouts and traffic lights where there's new estates which is fine but with the volume of traffic its just grim. Its still busy up where I am but nowhere near as bad as down there these days. I actually dread going anywhere when I'm visiting my Mum. I really enjoy going up to Cumbria and the borders to visit my old man when it comes to driving anywhere as there's no traffic. Its lovely. Just get up and go somewhere. *edit* Apologies for having such a rant on the Grin thread. Have a picture of a kitten, which I think is the done thing on t'interweb. stonedagain, Roobarb, FakeConcern and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan_Green Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 If you liked the Cameroonian taxis search for documentary called "Hulk Through Hell" on YouTube. It follows people taking the 3 week journey up the Congo River in a huge boat. Just amazing. Real heart of darkness stuff. And as someone on reddit said, "Watch this and you'll never complain about anything in your life again". The Moog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bren Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 They have already erected a hospital in china to deal with the corona virus. It would take longer than that to fill a pothole here. I only hope the hospital is better quality than the chinese death rings on all corners of my car. stonedagain 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saabnut Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Massive grin from me today, it actually started yesterday but it has not faded at all! After 4 years of no work (I am a day rate contractor and my industry (oil and gas) has been decimated since 2014) but yesterday I was offered a contract starting next month. May only be a few days, may be lots, but that is the nature of the game and I will take anything. I can get. Of course first I had to get a new Offshore Medical (done this morning), a certificate of fitness for diving (for the re-breather (done this morning) and then I have to renew my offshore survival certificate, just booked and doing it Thursday. I hate the survival, they will try to kill me by setting fire to my world, then try to drown me in a pool and if that does not work turn me upside down, underwater in a simulated helicopter. For the pleasure* of the above, my chod buying fund has been relieved of almost a kilopound. Still grinning though!
