Why is there 3 tolls between caen and pont normandie

 

Two are card the last i have a ticket 

Weird

You need one of these.

Monthly fee payable only when you use it. Plus the normal toll fees. No change, no tickets to worry about.

Cutting up some fallen trees today, ready for the fire. When clearing up I saw a movement that caught my eye. I thought it was one of our cats. It was a fox. very curious smelling everything. Came quite close. Stayed around for about 10 mins.

Ordered a pizza at 4.20pm, it arrived at 5pm on the dot.

Not bad for a Saturday, especially considering the shop is a 20 minute drive away over country roads!

I decided to try an experiment. 

"I'm disappointed that I can't seem to find any tea in the kitchen cupboard. There's all sorts of baking supplies, sugar, and coffee, though. Oh well.

Looking at the TV, there are all kinds of German channels, plus a Turkish one, an Israeli one, and Rai 1, 2, and 3 (Italian channels). Now I'm watching Eurosport, and it's snooker with a Dutch commentator.

As I'm writing this, I switched to W Sport, and it's German women's football, but oddly enough, an English guy is doing the commentary.

He's already taken the shot, getting ahead and asking a lot (probably referring to the commentary)."

I've met Hairnet several times. 

I'm always surprised that he actually does speak English 🤔

I think it takes a lot of skill and effort to be so incomprehensible 

[IronStar]

Should I be worried that I understand things he writes most of the time? Have I been exposed to too much txtspeak?

[myglaren]

I'm not one for sport or games, not a single one is of any interest to me, I don't understand why they bother.

But, just saw this that tickled me, especially the little girl's T-shirt.

 

When Allyson Felix became pregnant, Nike was prepared to cut the terms of Felix's endorsement by as much as 70% due to the pregnancy, and told her to “know your place and just run.” 🤯

Amid all of this, she was forced to have an emergency c-section seven months into her pregnancy because of a potentially life-threatening condition and her baby had to live for more than a month in the NICU. But two years later she’s qualified for her fifth Olympics with her daughter watching.

Felix dropped Nike and created her own brand of running shoes, the Saysh One. She is currently running in the Olympics in Japan wearing them under the banner “I Know My Place”. 😏

With 11 medals now, she passed Carl Lewis this summer for the most track and field medals by an American in history!

"I used my voice and built this company for you. So that you never have to train at 4:30am while you're 5 months pregnant to hide your pregnancy from your sponsor

I missed my turn to the Bed and Breakfast and didn't make a U-turn. Instead, I followed the road to the next turn and ended up in the neighboring village. There, a man speaking French told me that the car was originally from Belgium. I asked him if it was from 1959, and he said yes. I mentioned that I was going to the Mahy Museum on Monday, and he insisted I must visit and gave me an address. I thought, "Great, another museum to explore!" It wasn't until I showed him the address that I realized—it was the same place I was already planning to visit!

[High Jetter]

Vocation found! 🤣

[w00dy]

Saw this being offered free on a Dutch windowsill in a sleepy little town and managed to squeeze it into my cabin baggage allowance.

Looks like I got a bargain!

Maybe we should wire your phone through chatGPT so we can all understand you all of the time?

I suppose that would be a bit like replacing the King's guards with a ring doorbell though.
