Popular Post sharkyvilla Posted January 2, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 2, 2021 I bought a new pair of trainers online a couple of months ago and they're lovely to look at but the right one was really tight and uncomfortable. As I can never be arsed to send stuff back I persevered hoping I'd just wear them in and they'll get more comfortable. I realised today that I've been walking round with a spare shoelace in the toe of my shoe for two months. 1 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, “…when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth…” The simple metric of the number of penalties is not quite sufficient. In that someone will have more than others. Indeed if all clubs had exactly the same number that would be even more suspicious. I can't help thinking something along the lines: penalties per attacking hour inside the 18 yard box would be better, though not perfect metric. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 I’ve had my car 18 months but only now I need to replace 2 of the tyres. Booked in earlier in the week, get to the tyre place, look for the locking wheel nut key... balls... where is it? I don’t think I’ve ever seen one so probably didn’t get one. Luckily there was a slip in the glove box with the code for it. Ordered a replacement key off ebay, £21. Could have been worse. Thank god I didn’t get a puncture!

They're all genuine penalties surely, boneheads like me always whinge when our teams lose, there couldn't be any corruption in football, couldn't be.

I’m tempted to just stick standard nuts on in their place in case the key goes missing again. I know a few people with LR Discovery’s and their wheels are getting nicked all over the place.

Yeah its an issue with 4x4s and the like but a £21 locking wheel nut from a dealer makes me think your car isn't one 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was extremely lucky there was a slip in the glovebox with the key type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
