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...DaveMehmet said: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.

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?0

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...kafka said:French politics.

The fact that Middlesbrough FC are nicknamed: the Boro
Its probably something old fashion with Brough being the old spelling of Borough but still baffling0 -
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?0 -

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 somethingbbob said:

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!!0
