RMweb Gold The Johnster Posted October 7, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 7, 2020 Dual Carriageway walks into bar, orders beer, leans on bar drinking it, after a while Motorway walks in and orders beer. Dual Carriageway nervously takes his beer and sits over in the corner, clearly scared of Motorway, who ignores him. Few minutes later, a scraggy little strip of tarmac comes in and orders beer. Motorway immediately picks up his pint and goes and sits in the corner with Dual Carriageway. DC is suprised, and says to M/way 'why have you come to sit by me, not that I'm objecting, sir, but surely you can't be scared of a little scrag end like him!'. 'You don't know him' says M/way, 'he runs alongside me for a mile or so. I'm telling you, stay away from him; he's a complete cyclepath...'! 1 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems the French made a habit of that kind of thing: https://wyomingmagazine.com/tetons-got-name/ 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium BR60103 Posted October 8, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 8, 2020 My father taught English (among other things) at high school.

RMweb Gold Hroth Posted October 8, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 8, 2020 Facebook have got themselves into a twizzle over Mumbles/Paps/etc. A tattoist who performs cosmetic replacements for "anatomical features" that have been removed during mastectomies has had examples of her work deleted on the grounds that they are "sexual content and nudity". https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-devon-54348767 I feel that the US is getting even more incomprehensible.

Not something you want to read in front of a class of mixed 12-14 year olds. When my school competed in 'Top of the Form' forty-five odd years ago, all the boys in the school had to take part in an extended quiz to determine which four would be in the team. One of the questions was, 'What is the next line after "Yankee Doodle keep it up"?' We were fourteen at the time; our uncontrollable laughter was matched by the ingenuity of some of the answers. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CameronL Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 (edited) 41 minutes ago, steve1 said: Why can't you get a No Claims Bonus from insurance companies on life insurance... steve Because if you drive a car for several years without claiming it indicates that you're a better driver and the longer you do this the better a risk you are. Claiming life insurance for many years increases your risk, not reduces it. So, a 20 year old might be a much worse risk for car insurance than a 50 year old, but with life insurance it's the other way around.
