RMweb Gold Nick C Posted December 12, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 12, 2020 22 hours ago, great central said: A couple of, what I think are, slightly amusing vehicle registration numbers seen recently. It's surprising how much can be spelled out using the new format. No pictures I'm afraid as I was driving at the time. First up, SH02ELL on a white Fiat. Hope it doesn't describe the state of the driver when in motion Then BE11 LND, with a couple of strategically located black screws it can maybe describe the driving? On a black VW I think. Seen earlier this evening DO51 BEN on a white Merc possibly The best I remember seeing was about 15 years ago in Southampton - P145TER on a plasterer's van 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Budgie Posted December 13, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 13, 2020 I was looking something up on Quora, and I came upon this sentence: Here is a link to the Hawaiian Volcanoes Observatory, they would measure lava temperatures, but they may not be responding to inquiries since the Government has been shut down because the President has a fragile ego and is throwing a temper tantrum because he wants to be remembered for a great wall. Alternatively, perhaps he is thinking of being interred in this wall like the Pharohs were interred in the Pyramids. 3 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
