    Are XL Cheese crisps still just a Cumbria thing?

    Can you still get XL cheese crisps? Rishy XL?

    Im a big fan of lidl ready salted ridge crisps, but you have to buy a 6pack with cheese/onion and salt/vinegar

    What is the actual life expectancy of a windscreen? I mean the mileage, before it gets worn by the wipers so you get a haze or blur etc when its wet/dark? 100,000miles?

    in thailand and Laos its fairly common for scooters(mostly) to start driving on the wrong side of the road until there’s a gap in traffic to crossover. Which is different to trucks on corners on the wrong side of the road

    But yes, i  have on occasion started the motorbike off on the wrong side, having forgotten which country i was in

    does your phone take esims?

    you can probably switch between  sims for mobile data, maybe even automatically if you dont have a good signal on your default choice

    isnt that the aim of ‘religions’?  when someone is traumatised, you can convince them of an alternative traumatisation.

    whereas if you face the real world, instead of some neuroses,  due to some fear, you are free of it

    i live next door to a family/couple. They told me what they are, but never mentioned any more.

    they must have realized it wouldnt interest me, although i do feel guilty sometimes about not teaching them some common sense and allowing them to carry on believing bullsxxx

    there was recently a suddn death of thousands of fish in a peterborough river, but the offender was never caught

    ‘Fuel and solvents’ founds as source of River Nene pollution that killed 100,000 fish in Peterborough (msn.com)

    I find it very difficult to believe that noone was caught.

    Cant the govt reclaim/withhold the companies’/shareholders’ profits until jailtime is served and compensation paid, in pollution cases like this?

    if its genuine, then its made in china, so your money goes to china anyway.

    Theres a lot of knockoffs, different grades, quality ought to be what you pay for. Could be made in the same factory

    Look at the store page ratings, and item reviews

    the Book of Trespass states that there was no concept of property until William the Conk declared england to belong to him, back in 1066

    That must be long past its sell by date

    I wondered what the pigeon was doing hanging around in the garden, then i noticed the jackdaws raiding the feeder. I have a cage round it to stop the things but they found a way to get the nuts out. The pigeon waits underneath for the bits

    And thats all

    I like seeing sharks,turtles,exotic corals,mantarays etc but its hard and getting harder to see such things, most of the diving ive done has been relatively boring, nothing to see. If I could afford to go to Burma banks, or Raja Ampat Id love it, but its highly unlikely

    the way you conserve air diving is nothing like the way you ride a bike

    Decathlon have some tents which you can buy and return before mid september, for credit at the store-the same you pay for the tent
    https://www.decathlon.co.uk/c/htc/no-tent-left-behind_b3be522a-a5f2-497e-a93f-f1a3682cdae1?utm_source=awin&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=Hotukdeals+%28GSG%29_47868&utm_content=www.hotukdeals.com&sv1=affiliate&sv_campaign_id=47868&awc=26895_1718306841_e7e6a95f4f0e9f104d2473a2dc2b08a4

    not the greatest tents but could work out well for some folk

    ‘ All sorts of evil can be justified with that reasoning’
    call it reasoning- but its ping pong, you hit me,so i hit you back
    ‘I have no issues with what I do as someone else above said if its not you someone else will.’
    we all have to live with that though

    ‘That’s a really shit excuse for really shitty behaviour’
    dont want it to be my fault- how am i to live if i need wages to survive and the only jobs are for weapons company?
    Like in so many other 3rd world companies, if gov wont supply other opportunities for the people, they have to resort to things nobody wants to pay the bills
    OR what?
    maybe sunak etc financing a utopian society on the sly, for those that fall between the rails, with their ill gotten gains?

    I saw recently getting les than 6(?)hours sleep is the equivalent of having 2 drinks. As in, you wouldnt think of driving if youd had 2 drinks, but 6hours of sleep?
    Im trying hard to get a decent amount of sleep but average 3or4hours. I really notice the difference if i sleep well, I work better, ride better and have some enthusiasm, but it seems inevitable that the situation will only get worse and i often wonder how the long term consequences are going to work out

    really i want to know about the smoke from the oil cap,whats causing it.
    its a good time to sell the car i have, and buy one i want from a reliable source. I dont know if I’ll get another chance so i’ll probably lose more sleep if i dont buy it. Anyway i cant lose more sleep, im insomniac already
