  • Lucas electrical systems. Have had my MG for 20 years. When I got it, the reversing lights didn't work. It's a ball ache to repair the switch activated by the gearbox and it's not an MOT failure so haven't bothered. Was reversing out of the garage yesterday and noticed a reflection on the door. Checked and the lights are now working.

    A mate of mine had a mark one Ford Escort, which had something very odd going on with the lights. Whenever he depressed the clutch the headlights would go out. I don't think that passed it's next MoT...
  • French politics. They now have an independent president with no MPs. He appoints a conservative prime minister. How does he now get any of his policies through?

    Why, when in this country we drive on the left and overtake on the right, are we expected to go up escalators of the right and led the overtakers go on the left? Wouldn't it make sense for them to be the same?

    Allows the majority to hold the handrail with their dominant hand.
    Not so good for our sword hand though, should some blaggard scoundrel pass by.

    It would be great if MP's were sensible enough to go "Oh - that's a good idea, we'll have some of that". In this dogmatic world that's never going to happen...
  • Supermalt, its been around for years and I regularly see people drinking it but what the hell is it?
  • The accent of the narrator on channel 4. I can't tell if she's Welsh or jamaican. Very strange!
  • How the "National Sea Life Centre" can be situated on a canal in Birmingham.
  • I am scoffing my way through a packet of 'all butter shortbread fingers'.
    If they are all butter...

    Because they are the most likely to go in lieu of seeing sea life at the actual sea?

  • The fact that Middlesbrough FC are nicknamed: the Boro

    Its probably something old fashion with Brough being the old spelling of Borough but still baffling
  • In the toilet cubicle at work, there are 2 of those daddy long leg type spiders with the small bodies. They're in opposite corners and you quite often see them in toilets and bathrooms, but particularly for ones that get into buildings, how and why do they do this?

    They've been in their same respective positions 3 days straight now, and I can't fathom it. Is this toilet a hot bed of food, do they need food, or just moist environments and moist air to live off. What is their deal?

    Why not ask them?

    And the fact that some of their fans get the hump if you misspell it Middlesborough...
  • Why Lettings/estate agents are always dressed in 3 piece suits. They look like they should be going to a wedding

    Do you mean harvestmen. They are so cute! They aren't really spiders though, although they are arachnids.

    Just some bird that for the first time since I split with my ex wife was on the level and could be worthwhile pursuing, only to be told it's too soon for her after her last relationship. Wasn't expecting it either as well, which meant it felt like being winded or something

    I'm probably going to have to console myself now with Bradford away. The incubation of the dj coach is tempting me to heal all emotional wounds :wink:

    To be fair, you can either moderate or have a relationship. 100% focus or hand in your red pen @cuddles
  • Okay so commuting into work on the A2 this morning (as always)

    Get opposite the Inn on the Lake and we all stop and dont move for a good few mins; finally get moving and after clearing a few cars there is barely any traffic ahead for a good distance and am able to go 70mph (My wife is driving).

    Why the hell did we need to stop in the first place, did half the cars suddenly disappear or are there invisible traffic lights on the A2 that I can never see!!
