Title: Things you don't see much of these days....
Post by: 4D on Tuesday, December 1, 2015, 15:55:53
Gurning has to be one of them. Putting on a horse collar and pulling your bottom lip over your nose.

White dog turds. Think it has something to do with bones.

Those little blue three wheelers that use to be seen behind the goals during 1970's football matches.

I did a Saturday night in Swindon a few weeks ago and there was plenty of gurning going on then.

Pretty sure most of it was due to the majority of Swindonians being inbred retards with a liberal application of assorted drugs, of both and illegal varieties.

Either way it explains why the majority of Town fans are cunts...

I got the train back from Paddington today. Cancelled at the last minute due to a power car fault. Everybody piled onto an already packed Swansea service, so it was unbelievably rammed.

I hovered around for a while mid carriage waiting to see if a few reserved seats were going to be claimed. Luckily not, so I looked at the bloke next to me. He nodded and we took them as it pulled out.

A few minutes later a pretty elderly lady shuffled down the aisle and stood for about five minutes. Nobody even looked at her. I said "are you going far?" "Swindon." "Please have my seat". She replied "well, I would rather you gave it to my husband, he's 86 you know but don't say it in front of him!"

So I gave it to her and the nice guy sat next to me did the same for the old geezer. He got off at Reading.

Cats eyes in the roads. Have they all been dug up?

A good point. I had a nose around and found this:

Quote
I know a worrying amount about cats eyes as i work within the construction industry.

The traditional halifax road stud known as the "Cats eye" is a cast iron base with retroreflective inserts. the iron part remains in the road for a long time but the inserts are replaced at relatively high intervals.

Unfortunately if the cast iron bases are very old or have been loosned due to heavy trafficing, they become a serious hazard as they can be flicked up by lorry tyres. because they are so heavy they can be a very dangerous missile and have caused at least one death that i know about. therefore most Highways agency operated roads are seeing the traditional halifax stud phased out and replaced with armour studs or similar (the toughened glass domes). These are far more resiliant than the old studs and perform better at light reflection.

This is probably what is happening in your area. Either that or they have removed them in preparation for pavement renewal. Note often roadworks are carried out with large time intervals inbetween start and finish as you are not allowed more than 1 set of roadworks within 10km radius on the same road and programming slots on a heavily worked road can be difficult.

Dungarees

I guess living in Calne you won't have noticed, but dungarees are very popular atm with the young ladies.

Made me smile when I noticed the trend, as I used to wear them in the very early 70's....

The Sixfields pub at Northamptons ground...

(http://i68.tinypic.com/2yynuxu.jpg)

I was there today, pub completely collapsed. Next building caught on fire too, taking the roof off.

The game was a good spectacle, bit gutted for Northwich, but when Northampton scored 1 it was inevitable that it would lead to a win.

The white dog poo thing is to do with bones; it's a combination of the fact that dogs eat less of them (so less calcium in their diet) and the fact that dog shit simply isn't left around long enough to go white these days.

I have a cupboard full. Can't dispose of retro technology. Well not without making some money out of some sad bastards.

So make me an offer.

1986 Sony Walkman (cassette) in blue
1992 Sony Discman in silver
1993 Sharp CD player in an uh blue and silver mix thing
1994 Clone disc player thingy. Batteries went bad and it's fucked. Probably the most valuable of the crop  :smugfu:

People that will speak out or assist others who are being abused, assaulted, injured in a fall, etc, etc.
Most seem to do and say nothing anymore if they're not affected by it.

Pretty girls that don't ruin their natural good looks without plastering themselves in makeup. Why anyone thinks being orange is a good look I don't know?
