Separated Beach Boys/Wilsons/associated stuff into their own cubes on the other side of the room. Now I have found I've misplaced one LP, and I am **** if I know where it is. Already checked through A to F, no sign. Bored now.

Full sets of The Band, The Beach Boys, The Beatles and The Byrds alone take up a fair bit of real estate. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Letter B takes up only one and a half cubes. Next biggest I think is "S", and then "Y". Beach Boys stuff takes up four cubes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted March 26, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted March 26, 2023 I see rules are being brought in about possession and sale of Nitrous oxide. I couldn't really give a shit about the scrotes using it but it makes be angry beyond words the frigging state they leave behind just chucking the cylinders out of the car once they've finished. Some places are just littered knee deep with the little silver cylinders and I've noticed larger aerosol cannisters being littered lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some places are just littered knee deep with the little silver cylinders and I've noticed larger aerosol cannisters being littered lately. The mess also pisses me off. Was in a car on the motorway and the scrotes in the car in front were doing balloons and chucking the cartridges out the window. What really pisses me off though, is the government approach to solutions. "What this needs is more laws". We don't need more **** laws. There are enough laws to prosecute people already, how about putting some resource into just enforcing the ones we already have? "More laws" is just playing to the gallery of "something must be done", when actually it will do **** all except introduce a greater time/resource/admin/financial burden on those who have a legitimate use for the stuff. End of rant. Edited March 27, 2023 by Anthony Damn you autocorrect 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 (edited) If we're banning substances purely because enforcing littering laws is too much like hard work, can they outlaw McDonalds and Coca Cola next please. It's just another example of how we're run by idiots who don't give a **** about anything but the headline. Doesn't matter it's stupid, it plays to their base, so it's good enough, who cares.

foreveryoung Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 My uncle died recently, old age was expected. We have been waiting for nearly 3 weeks for him to be transferred to the funeral directors, so a few family members can see him for the last time, funeral is Wednesday. A representative on the phone yesterday advised my auntie, "if you need to bring anyone to see him please be aware there may be a smell, as he has started to decompose". I'm not sure if these were the actual words, but either way, not what I would expect to hear from a professional funeral directors, outrageous actually! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KentVillan Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-64869760 Quote Nitrous oxide, sold in metal canisters, is the second most-used drug by 16 to 24-year-olds in the UK. Heavy use can lead to a vitamin deficiency that damages nerves in the spinal cord. But the independent Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs (ACMD) said nitrous oxide should not be banned under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971. It comes after the Home Office asked the ACMD to provide advice on whether to make possession of nitrous oxide a crime. Earlier this year, ministers had been considering a ban on possession of the drug - and on all direct sale of it to consumers - as part of a move to tackle antisocial behaviour. The ACMD recommended the substance should not be controlled under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971. It said sanctions for the offences would be disproportionate with the level of harm associated with nitrous oxide, as well as creating "significant burdens" for legitimate uses of the substance. Nitrous oxide is regularly used as an anaesthetic in medicine and dentistry, and as a gas for making whipped cream in cooking. Currently, non-legitimate use of the substance is controlled under the Psychoactive Substances Act 2016, which the council said "remains appropriate legislation". What is the point of asking for independent, expert advice, and then just completely disregarding it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete101 Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 Not sure if this is an issue in UK but here in Ireland, we have these groups of cyclists that cycle side by side and block the traffic on mostly rural roads, they hold up traffic and refuse to let cars past. These are never general cyclists but always the people dressed like they are in the tour de france. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you mean "now"? It's been true since there were rules allowing cars to use roads. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While they're technically probably doing the right thing, in practice certain motorists will decide to make a riskier manoeuvre to overtake them. I'd definitely be cycling in single file if it was me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 It’s advised that cyclists take a more positive position in the road. Too many car drivers are arseholes and think they can cut up cyclists or over take them with an inch to spare. Taking up more road can reduce the chance of some angry narcissist deciding the cyclist’s life is less important than getting to KFC in record time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I speak as an occasional cyclist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
