Interestingly (or not) the amount of drag caused by driving at speed with your windows open uses more fuel than having the windows up and using the AC.

Vive_La_Villa Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 I was told it would cost £300 to fix my air con. So I'm also that guy. 1 hour ago, Milfner said: People who drive with their windows open on the motorway. Why would you want to listen to air slapping off your car at 70mph? Put the **** air con on.

Not sure why you'd need a tin hat for that, Mrs Brown's Boys thing is the worst thing on TV ever. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 I have to admit that I have laughed during Mrs Brown's Boys before, so for that reason it can't be the worst sitcom I've ever seen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only really had to sit through the Christmas specials with family and they were alright. It's stuff like Big Bang Theory that leaves me completely cold. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More fun facts tomorrow, kids! Not according to this test, and Mythbusters Quote In 2004, General Motors and SAE, which creates standards for various engineering industries, set out to find a definitive answer. The result is the report, "Affect [sic] of Windows Down on Vehicle Fuel Economy as compared to AC load." The researchers used a wind tunnel and laps on a track to test a sedan and an SUV at speeds of 31 mph, 50 mph, and 68 mph, in 86 degree F weather. As the two charts below show, running the A/C (the blue line) requires more gallons of gas per mile than driving with the windows open (green line). And if you really want to save money at the pump, roll the windows up, turn off the A/C, and sweat it out (red line). Here's how the numbers work out in the sedan, which a 4.6-liter V8 engine.

Only been skiing once, but I loved; The scenery (never saw anything like it) Nice people milling round, not sun burnt brits with england flag tattoo's and pissed It was relaxing, finish skiing, go to the pool, grab a shower, go down for dinner, drink with friends afterwards skiing was super fun, and way better than sitting on a beach towel skiing to the different bars in the mountains for drinks I like doing things and seeing things, and I loved skiing. I probably wouldn't want to go every year, but every few years, it would be great! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sort of get that it's probably fun if you have the skills, the spare time and the money to be able to get good at it. But for me it was never worth the investment of time and money required.

It's the absolute worst type of "comedy". I'ts basically what Ricky Gervais was satirising with his sitcom within a sitcom in "Extras". At my bday meal, I was drunkenly slagging off Mrs Browns' Boys and everyone who watches it as morons. My sister is angrily glaring at me as her fella's family all watch it 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
