Seems an odd way to do it. Why not do away with DRLs and save a bit of power and resources? What was wrong with not having lights on in broad daylight? 🤷♂️ Wilko220, chodweaver, myglaren and 1 other 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites

What was wrong with not having lights on in broad daylight? 🤷♂️ Perfectly adequate in the UK and the majority of other countries butt in Scandinavia where the days are dark in winter, the roads long, straight and almost deserted and lined with trees, a point of light is easily spotted and can be a life saver - especially where the traffic from the right has the right of way. Which is why VolvoSaab invented it. At least they did it with sensible levels of brightness and remembered that the rear lights can be useful too. Further to which, I have just returned from a trip to Chester-le-Street for replacement specs. It was full of people! People everywhere. Very disconcerting. I liked the world without all those people much better. Link to post Share on other sites

I believe that is permitted under the current rules though, driving to a town in Durham for purposes related to one's eyesight.

jakebullet 3767 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Ma has just smashed an elderly bottle of redex and redecorated the porch a fetching shade of pink. Of course it's my fault for it being there, not hers for being a blind bat trying to force yet another charity begging bag into a space that doesn't exist for no purpose whatsoever. myglaren 1 Link to post Share on other sites

We saw him playing records at a festival & the fucker never shut up, singing along & so on. Haha. I did a gig with him back in 2019. A lovely bloke, one of the nicest and humblest I’ve had the pleasure of. He never goes on stage alone though - the best never do - so that was probably his rider talking.

High Jetter 1992 Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Our boiler is due it's annual service - we have a plan with Domestic & General (taken out last year as cheaper than getting BAXI to sort it as a one-off - my usual guy was stumped) which includes cost of said service. Went to book online, have to create an account. Account created, full details given, click 'book appointment'...and get taken to page with 'phone number to call them!

High Jetter 1992 Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Probably not helpful, but you could a) eat earlier or b) record it and get the added bonus of whizzing through the adverts. We usually only watch what we've recorded precisely for that second reason. mitsisigma01 and The Moog 2 Link to post Share on other sites

goosey 401 Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 He didn’t answer the door when I went round, so I looked through the kitchen window and saw him lying face down on the floor asleep, to be fair he has been laying bricks all afternoon so probably just nodded off and forgot about the mixer. mercedade 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Well I never knew that, perhaps it was a case of strike first, think of a reason later. Silly Hectors. The Simpsons is great but there are some really lame episodes and they seem to be the ones they show over and over again. GrumpiusMaximus 1 Link to post Share on other sites
