    My mum’s weird friend downsized her house after her husband died and bought a Rolls to travel about Europe in. A spring broke in some village in Italy and the company sent one out express. When she got back to England she contacted the company saying “you haven’t billed me yet?” and they replied “there must be some mistake madam - Rolls Royce springs don’t break”

      @@marka2520 - that depends on the definition of the sign. If it signifies a clearway in which both waiting and stopping are prohibited, then it doesn't. If the sign simply signifies no stopping, then waiting is permitted, albeit a fairly stupid thing to do if the traffic is moving quickly.

    • @vink6163
      @vink6163 Год назад

      Where I live they tend to use the term 'standing' rather than 'waiting' - 'no standing' means you can't be stationary there. But it only applies to the side of the road, you can still be stopped in the middle of the road waiting for the car in front to move, which is what the clearway prohibits.

      I once went to a comedy show with a friend of mine we were sat in the front row he didn't enjoy it because the comic picked us out to comment on something. I found it funny.
      In general the rule for interacting with other people is the rule of 'saving face' (or at least it used to be). We go to incredible lengths to avoid making other people feel bad such as 'do you happen to know where... something or other is?' no way to feel offended if you don't and a positive feeling of being in the know or special if you do.
      But on the other side of this is comedy - (and this is a comedy not a quiz show) People choose to put themselves in the situation - the rush comes from being noticed. They are laughing with them not at them.
      I'm English we're not always easy to understand although I didn't really realise that until I had lived in a couple of other countries.

I’m currently on a 16 hour road trip from Colorado to Indiana and my first leg is almost twice the distance of the A66 they were mentioning! I’ve also done Route 66 including some of the original “ribbon road” and it’s so crazy to see how much the landscape changes, if you can do it it’s a fun trip. We were lucky to stay with family in Chicago, Vegas and LA which made it wayyy cheaper 😂

    In Germany there's a huge Metal Festival every year, and because drunk metalheads are, well, drunk metalheads, they went and stole the entry-signs of the town it was happening at, since that's what the festival was named after.
    Ever since they just completely remove those signs before the festival starts.
    I also vaguely remember them replacing them with something like "Town of Metal" or something, but then people stole those signs instead.

    Time to get rid of Alan. Not funny and disruptive

    Didn't know Aisling was so thick until this episode.

    First question, America isn't a country. Also I'm glad she corrected that 66 doesn't go right through.

      What then is the United States of America if not a country?

      Except it is though. Every would-be pedant wants to say that it describes continents, not a country. But it's clearly stated in the founding documents (and tellingly _not_ elsewhere). More importantly, for better or worse, 'America' and 'American' is distinctive in common usage.

      You must be overseas, it's all on-line betting ads here.

      Same as Nick, it's all Fan Duel and Draft Kings ads for us Americans. Stupid as hell!
      If you can get Opera web browser on your cell or PC, you can block ads and use a free VPN. It's a little wonky on mobile, you lose a few features, but it's just like using YT in any other browser. Cheers!

      I think you meant to say "cut those freaking ads every 3 damned minutes!"

      That's your job. Your computer can just filter them out, as can your router, a funtionality creatively termed "ad-blocking"

      Press pause as soon as the screen goes black to cancel ads.

    Qi is where UK comedians go after they've given up hope and decided to accept a paycheck for acting as paid clowns for the wicked English class system.

    Shame about the guests. I can’t finish the episode.
    Not funny, thick and mocking the poor audience members.

    Rod Stewart having a hobby and being dedicated and good at it will not appeal to most people. But those who appreciate such craftsmanship and dedication would most probably be more mature, intelligent and artistic individuals.
    What everyone finds sexually appealing is different, so some women would most probably not find this hobby appealing, but it would be attractive to some women with similar interests.
    What I'm trying to say is if you have similar hobbies don't be dissuaded by not being appealing to some people, be aware they are not compatible with you. Be happy when you find someone who does have similar interests, this shared interests would strengthen your relationship.
