It could also be that there was clear road ahead and the overtake was safe. You can't reasonably predict mechanical failure. Tragic for any young family to lose a dad in tragic and unpredictable circumstances and I feel for them.

Not even an over-the-bath TV?

No. It's about getting the body to cool down by sweating. Sweat evaporates and that causes cooling as long as the skin is largely uncovered. So expect to see dozens of OAP's wandering around in pants and vests tomorrow.

It's proven that if you drink a hot drink on a hot day, you will lose heat by sweating. If it's humid with little evaporation of sweat you won't.

And not go to Morrisons. Which will be remarkable.

Though counterintuitive, the science of sweat tells us that drinking hot beverages when in a hot environment will actually help you cool down. We know what were doing, while the yunguns are swigging energy drinks that'll make them diabetic.

Jeez ITV is getting really dull if they're showing pitches. Oh wait, there's a game on, Lionesses v Jamaica. I think I'll settle down and watch thi... Oops. Forgot, there's some bins that need emptying. Temu?

After a shaky start, where he sounded a bit ropey.

Of course indicators can fail but no one knows the alternative these days. They just drive on regardless. So many people must NEVER check their lights, wipers, indicators, oil levels are functioning or at the correct level. It's usually only when it comes to MOT time that faulty lights/indicators come. I am still in the habit of checking regularly as I had to every time I started a shift.

I posted a similar thing some time back. Hand signals are no longer part of the test and if you did use them, you'd get some strange looks from younger drivers

Having a puppy in your family is EXHAUSTING. Just acquired a cockapoo, 10 weeks old, after losing our lovely old cat a while ago. We thought we'd have a dog as they are more companionable and it would get us out more. Jeez, he's a bundle of energy (and fun). He's already changed the way we did things before. Regular TV dinners, gone, we now sit at the table to avoid the attack of the curious pup. Getting up late, no more, 7am max. Sitting calmly in the garden enjoying the weather, nope, continuous throwing of toys and watching for poo and wee. I think he's a good addition...

Air fryers have come on quite a lot since the overpriced and generally useless first gen Ninja. I agree with the rest, especially the bread maker, the most unused and pointless kitchen gadget that suckers bought thinking they could make super-duper bread at home when what you actually got was a "loaf" the size of a house brick and just as hard and dry. Yes, we had one.

Unlike this nasty b**tch

Absolutely. If you were lucky you'd find a piece of dried chewing gum inside the lid.

I'm at an age when I now get the frustration of modern technology. I remember getting annoyed when my parents couldn't grasp the concept of TV remotes or the early video recorders and I'd have to make trips over to set up recordings. Now I don't get AI. Even the air fryer seems a bit complex to set up for different things to finish cooking at the same time.

I have a fountain pen that I "inherited" and I do use it from time to time but I rarely write actual letters. I do use it for birthday cards etc. We had to use pen and ink at school. A little container for the ink was built into the desk and the pen was a "dip and write" at first. Then we got refillable pens. I do like the look of carefully written words using a fountain pen. I'm considering Calligraphy as a hobby as I have quite nice handwriting anyway.

I think recent history tells us that very few "ceasefires" are anything other than fragile.

This man is more seriously weird than Michael Jackson was.

Why was I the only naked person at last weeks gender reveal party?

I was a scout and I hated bob-a-job week. It was almost exclusively on hands and knees weeding gardens and paths.

For those that are under a certain age: If you were given the job of cutting up paper for the rest of the class, you always did it with an air of superiority

I guess we don't have a pool and a bar to get an ice cold insipid "beer" from in this country. A Weatherspoon's with a pool... now there's an idea...
