Skimming an article in one of the sunday rags in the pub last night about a bloke who is apparently saving David Jason autographs to make his fortune when DJ pops off, I noticed the "journalist" managed to both refer to the Trotters van as a Reliant Robin, and then alongside the photo of this bloke's replica van, call it a "Robin Reliant".
Is it the order that's the issue or that it's actually a Reliant Regal?

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeggings - although I let the typo go...
I see, so these are the godawful garments I see on seemingly every male 'yoot' these days, the ones that perpetually fall down so they have builder's bum and the arse of their trousers betwixt knees and cheeks like gangstas or MC fking Hammer. They all adopt this strange shuffling motion that makes them look like they've st themselves, as does the wrinkled mass of unoccupied pantaloon arse hovering 6" below where it ought to be; is this because they fall down if you walk normally, or is it simply impossible to walk like a human being because the garments just don't fit? The thing that concerns me is their apparent indifference to how debilitating this will be in the event of a zombie apocalypse. hehe

I think I've become middle-aged.

I'm not entirely sure you've quite got the concept of jeggings being skin tight things made to look like denim.

Quite acceptable on the girly types unless blessed with a hippo like bottom. On chaps, nope, never. Benderwear of the first water....or those in the meeeedja.

On that subject - Low hanging jeans. Seriously, what the fk? What goes through the mind of a yoof:

I'm going to wear jeans that don't stay up and I have to keep pulling them up from my hips and mean that I can't walk properly. And I'll team them with a beanie hat in summer - All because it's cool innit.

No, you look a tt.

Yes I am old - And the worst part is that I had, when I was 19/20, a flat top to rival that of Will Smith which I thought was cool. It wasn't. I looked a tt.

People slurping drinks because they are too hot.

FFS why not just wait until it cools down?

Driving to work at 0830hrs this morning, heavy traffic in commuterville. I'd been caught at two red lights, approaching the third set of red lights - a pedestrian crossing where they stay red for ages, there's a parent walking two 6yo-ish kids to school. One of the kids runs ahead and presses the button but it turns out they have no bloody intention of crossing the road! Lights go red, everyone has to sit and wait whilst nobody crosses.

Now I'm first to admit that at that age I was obsessed with pressing the button, but if I'd done it for no reason in front of my Dad, he'd have given me a proper telling off for being an incosiderate little brat. Not this bloke, just sauntered along not giving a st whilst everyone else has to sit and wait. Meanwhile, 50 yds back along the road, Mums were struggling to cross the road with buggies because of nose-to-tail traffic, he's hardly helping matters. It's not the kid doing it that annoys me - he doesn't know - but the parent not even bothering to say anything that boils my piss.

The sprog probably has a future of walking slowly across pedestrian crossings to hold up people in nice motors ahead of him, as the underachieving tend to enjoy.

You seem to have become strangely and suddenly interested in the bringing up of children in recent weeks...

Why weren't they using the pedestrian crossing?

Fixed that for you, hopefully no one will notice your error wink

Two natural crossing points on this school run, the one further back doesn't have a ped x'ing, but is where most people cross the road. Only mums struggle there, because 50yds away feckless little fkers are messing about with the lights, effectively extending rush hour. rolleyes

Indeed GP, I'll soon be tapping you up about VW Tourans, or the relative merits of Bugaboo vs Uppababy! smile

Scotland vote.
Im glad they are getting to vote, after all we are supposed to have democracy.
What annoys me is the NOers insist on coming up with all manner of embarassing mardy bks.
On a different thread someone was claiming McDonalds will pull out of Scotland if they are independent.
No they wont.

Oh and the fact that AS is ten times the statesman of any of the 3 main party leaders who have the charisma of a dry turd.

In the first instance it's the fact that it is, as you say, a Regal (or perhaps a Supervan, I am not sure other than it is certainly not a Robin), and in the second it is both the incorrect model and the incorrect order.

ETA - hadn't seen John2443's comment just now. So it is a Supervan then.
EATA - or perhaps not. I should read to the end when I've left commenting for so long.

If ever there was a post that failed to pick up the mood of the country more than this rather pathetic joke I'd like to see it.

Agreed. I'm pretty open-minded about most stuff I read online but that's just too soon. In fact any time would be too soon. It's just not remotely funny.

And another one.

Probably think tying fireworks to dogs tails is funny too.
