"It's a limit, not a target"
Fully endorsed by the police, IAM and me. So it must be true.Try failing to get up to the limit on your driving test and see what happens.

But spouting that means that you can do whatever speed you want even if it's safe to get up to the limit.

Try changing radio stations on your driving test, or driving with your elbow out of the window. You'll fail. But people do that quite legally after they pass. Try failing to get up to the limit on your driving test and see what happens.
The test is for you to show you can do things, that's all. If, once you've passed, you decide that 55mph is quick enough for you on the motorway, then provided you stick to the appropriate lane, then that's absolutely fine.

Chalk marks on your house means you're about to be burgled by the local diddycoys.
Even got released as a warning by one particularly dopey police force!

The snake one - Come around every so often
The sister has a pet python which stopped eating. After a while she got concerned and took it to the vet who could find nothing wrong. He wasn’t worried and explained that snakes like this can go quite some time without eating and suggested she take it back home, keep a close eye on it and if it still wasn’t eating in a week or two to bring it back in again.
So Tuesday of this week she goes back to the vet who can still find nothing wrong and asks if there has been any unusual behavour. She says no. The only thing odd was that a couple of night ago she woke up to find the snake on the bed beside her. She just picked him up and put him back in his tank. Wondering if the snake was seeking warmth he asks if it was curled up on the bed. The girl says “No, that’s what was odd. He was lying straight, up and down the bed.”
“Oh.” says the vet. “I’m afraid he’ll have to be put down.”
“Why? What’s wrong with him?” my friend’s sister asks.
“There’s nothing wrong with him.” The vet says. “He’s just starving himself in preparation for a big meal. It’s perfectly normal.”
Confused she asks why he has to be put down.
“That night, on the bed.”
“Yes?”
“He was measuring you!”

You dont need planning to build in your own property.
ohh and if I get away with it for a few years it will all go away....
Up to 10% of the original property size, you do not. ohh and if I get away with it for a few years it will all go away....
And after 12 years it hasn't been discovered and proceedings have been brought against you, then you do indeed get away with it.

Oh, and woman goes home to empty house, puts Winalot on her ladygarden and lies on her back on the kitchen floor while her dog pleasures her licking it off. Only for the surprise party hiding in her lounge to discover her mid act. Happened to a women in the factory where a bloke I know worked. She never came to work again. Apparently. Riiiight...
Similar story involving a hidden camera/surprise TV show in Germany. Canadian rocker Bryan Adams ("the groover from Vancouver") was hiding in a girl's wardrobe as a surprise for a tv show, said girl comes home and instead of going to the wardrobe, lies on the bed and starts flicking her bean. Allegedly. Edited by Ari on Thursday 22 June 16:29

Dogs cant look up.
Dogs can, pigs can'tBy the time it was fully grown, the pig was larger than the sofa. I also had the difficult conversation with my boss about a huge dent in the side of the car after Pig decided it didn't like me parking in the barnyard...
