UK-based, massive nerd. I'm a software developer, I also dabble in electronics, wood/metalworking and cars (currently building a Mazda MX-5 Turbo for ET bracket racing). Married with no kids but one kitty.
Also worry all the time about losing her. But I guess that's just my stupid overactive brain at work.
Not sure. I'm 31, just come out of a shitty marriage. Met someone new and I REALLY like her. I mean horny schoolboy levels of like.
You're a good dad and she will never blame you for what happened. She's still here and is going to be OK. Don't beat yourself up mate *hug*
It's not your fault. We're only human and we all screw up sometimes. You did the right thing in first aid and she's going to be OK. (1/2)
The van was just unfortunate enough to get in the way.
Not sure why everyone is saying they are both at fault. Trucker was going too fast. He would have topped whether the van was there or not.
I'm in the UK and even if you tell the cops here you won't get in trouble. It's not actually illegal to be under the influence of drugs.
I was a chain-smoker. After work I'd literally sit at home and light one after another.
even enjoyed. I hate the smell and taste now. Much rather have my lozenges.
I went from 30 a day to sucking nicotine lozenges instead a year ago. Sometimes I have one just for old time's sake, last few I haven't...
Then you'll be sat at a dead-end desk job for the rest of your life wishing you became a mechanic instead. Sigh (or maybe that's just me)
I might want to use it again the summertime, so until then, it can stay there.
I have a neighbour that likes doing this. Fortunately I just got another car so my van has been parked outside his house for 2 weeks now.
You can sue anyone for anything. You would certainly have a case if you got hit. And possibly for damage to wheels/tyres/suspension here.
I have also shat myself in a car. Fortunately the seats were leather.
This is exactly what's wrong with the world these days.
Or don't, because chucking something that can be fixed in about 10 seconds flat in the bin is a waste of both money and resources.
The really rare bit about this particular car is it's one of a handful of right-hand-drive ones. US built then converted here apparently.
I can believe that. Supposedly the reason for the unusual-at-the-time 'hatchback' design was so you could get a surfboard in the back :D
Stunning motor. They let me have a go too, first yank tank I've ever driven. Want one badly.
Some friends of mine have a Barracuda, but it's the earlier shape, with the bubble rear glass ('68 I think). UK based so rare here. (1/2)
use the same principle for reflective road markings. Early trials with actual cat's eyes worked well but spawned complaints from PETA.
They're called cat's eyes in the UK too. Supposedly the inventor saw a cat's eyes glowing in the light of his headlights and decided to
Also, I'd never heard of daddyo5 before. What an asshole. People like that need their faces rearranged.
yelling at them for supposedly having broken it is the behaviour of a psychopath.
Oh - looks like I did miss something, then. Yeah, that's not cool. Making them think their phone is broken = prank...
Did I miss something? He didn't say anything about shouting at them in the post.
Yet my wife and I have been trying for 5 years and still aren't pregnant (bar one very early miscarriage). I don't think it'll ever happen.
All I can think is "one slip while walking on that ice and you're going to turn yourself into a kebab."
Also, nice sex toy collection. No weirder than most hobbies, really :D
