Timewaster Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 19 hours ago, New POD said: Very few dogs are strapped in properly I reckon, and most would end up flying through the front screen in an accident, so i wonder if the risk is higher? I've told this one before, but a chap I know, big built guy, looks like a tamed Robbie Coltrane had an accident in a Reliant Robin (mid 70's in that murky brown colour). Head on impact on an a road, he went through the windscreen and took a chunk of roof with him. His labrador apparently also went through, sailed over the hedge and knocked a woman off her horse. Apart from bruising, the only real injury was to the horse rider. The police officer attending told the driver he probably wouldn't have survived in "a proper car". But traffic cops always are experts in structural rigidity and medical impact resistance aren't they? I just like the mental image of a labrador sailing through the air towards the unfortunate and oblivious rider. ? vulgalour, Rab, Coprolalia and 3 others 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xtriple Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Got this site working prperly at last, deleted the 'Facebook app' I installed to stop Facebook from spying on everything. Worked a treat but this site (and only tis site) scrolled like t had worms of sticky clockwork, horribel. So got rid and I have deleted Facebook, load of shit on there anyway. Another grin: walking with the dog at night is surreal. No cars, no noise, no people. Usually, even at 3-4 am there's someone around yet just taken the dog out at 9:30 ish and it's dead. I like it like this, just want to be able to go out again but keep the 'no people' bit. Roobarb, HarmonicCheeseburger and warch 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last night at the stables, a clear moonlit sky, and the stars were the clearest I've ever seen them. No cloud, no planes, no background noise other than the sound of horses munching hay, no nothing.

I find it's best to record the show and fast forward all the bits where Tim is on screen. If I see one more hilarious* attempt to blag* parts or services then I might throw something at the TV. There is that other thing, I can't remember what it's called with some twat called Henry from Fix it, Flog it who bodges up old crap with rattle cans while his quiet mate does all the actual work and they sell the result for Fuck all. Can't stand that either. I think Wheeler dealers is a bit better these days even though I don't like Ant Amstrad. The best car show on at the moment for me is Bangers and Cash following Matthewsons classic auctions.

I'm with you on that and had been planning a visit later this year taking in the NYMR steam choo-choos at same time. Seems unlikely to happen now. IIRC he has his own boozer.
