    I haven't had a proper zit for about 30 years. Found one today and have just squeezed it. I'd long forgotten how satisfying that can be. Now to clean the mirror..

    Stuck on the A2 in traffic I looked over to spot a man weeing at the side of the road. Enormous wang. Made me smile.
    I have to ask, at what stage did you discover that it was 'enormous'.  A cursory glance?  Five Seconds?  2 minutes?   Do you have a dashcam. Just asking for a friend.

    That made me feel a bit sick, but at the same time….yes.

    not so much zits but little plugs of hardened “whatever”. About every 6 months I see one on my shoulder and it is one of those unexplainable satisfying moments, as a solid plug pops out painlessly and purposefully.

    For those that find this of interest, definitely watch Dr Pimple Popper.

    RAF Museum Biggin Hill, an absolute gem of a place. Did the museum , and the chapel. 
    With a talk about Biggin during the Battle of Britain. 
    Not the biggest museum, but the whole place just reeked of history.
    Recommend for a couple of hours, very child friendly

    Agree, it’s great there. Always a chance to see a Spit take off/land as well.

    Utter filth on the walls of our Air BnB. This is just a small selection of the available material ...

    It’s an achievement just getting a test these days. 
    My daughter booked hers about 3 months ago and the best they could do was November!

    Congratulations to your daughter, must be a weight off her mind (and yours!)

    Yeah, she’s been stressing about it for a couple of weeks now. She passed her theory in Feb, booked her practical a couple of days later and this was the earliest date available. Apparently they’re making it harder for people to block book tests and sell them at a premium but in my mind it should have been in place from day 1.

    Someone put up a video on instagram and they were a proper chav, top comment was “teeth like council bins, ones brown, ones green and the others missing” and it made me chuckle for about an hour.

    Getting a phone call from a garage asking if I wanted to trade in my car, said no, later another call no, third call they state it’s a good deal worth coming in for, alright then. Go in, there very good deal started out as pay £2000 deposit and pay £10 a month more. Had a good laugh and told them to park there offer where the sun don’t shine. Ended up with trading my 2 year old car (8,000 mile in perfect condition) in for a brand new identical car (different colour) paying no deposit and paying £20 a month less repayment.

    Say it every year on this thread but another year of my Car passing its MOT - Haven't failed an MOT since 2021 now, after Halfords tried to scam me, and got recommended on here to use the Test Centre going forward.

    I know the fellow who owns the Test Centre used to work in the OKR with him., and he is a top man. Can also recommend him

    When you're able to call bullshit when booking a courier to come and collect a Parcel and they don't arrive. You then phone up the next day and ask where the hell they were, and get the: "Oh someone tried to collect @ 4pm" - No they f**king didn't because we've got a Ring Doorbell and it didn't pick up any activity anywhere near that sort of time

    I was actually worried about an Engine Light coming on this year, and thought I'd might have to accidentally leave some cash on the Passenger seat just to get it through the MOT :D

    Our school (with the relevant permissions) releasing a photo to the media of our dog working in school. 
    Two classes of 5/6 year old children sitting behind the two lads while they read and Bow relaxes.

    Great neighbours. Decided to replace pads and disks on my wife's car on tuesday night with it pissing down to save £250 at the garage. 

    I stripped the retaining screw on the disk. Out comes my neighbour with half his dinner in his mouth with a circular saw and molegrips to save the day.

    Today, I slipped out a "Silent But Deadly in the work canteen while it was chock full. I heard someone say "It smells like shit in here. Hopefully it isn't the food".
