So how many people have been injured or killed due to watching and being inspired to 'drive fast' due to those films?

How many people who have no idea that someone is trying to slide or is on a hot lap have been injured due to someone being inspired by fast and furious?

Drive your fast drive on a closed road well away from public use. Don't advertise it and run your own race.

Saw this earlier:

In fairness, the Audi Q7 is a genuine legend of the racing scene due to its handling, agility and obvious sporting attributes, which of course is why it starred in so many of the Fast & Furious movies....

Again in fairness he would possibly still be here if he hadn’t been ragging a CGT and had taken a Q7 instead.

How can you do that when you've correctly had the yorkshire pudding as a starter with Gravy? Any leftovers are for eating with the main

As Yorkshire folk are Scots with the generosity removed, the Yorkshire pud rationale was quite clever. When served as a starter it would fill the diners to an extent so the 'chef' could serve less roast beef, etc. My dad used to have his YP with sugar on as a sweet (ick).

The only proper Yorkshire way to do it is YP for all three courses.

The sweet version should of course, also have milk added (cheaper than cream), and as a special treat the YP should have been baked with added currants

On the smell thing the bottom of the A34 where it joins the M3 in Winchester used to have a chicken processing plant (Webbs if my memory serves) just off the junction, that used to stink to high heaven. Especially in the summer, waiting at the traffic lights was unbearable at times.

Friend did some work in there, said it was grim

Bit further up the m3 towards Southampton there is (or was) a sewage farm, that is horrid at the right times

Was the fella involved massively into cars in real life, or just in the films?

Seems a certain sort who has those

He had a large collection of fast and furious type cars, and he died in a Porsche Carrera GT.

He probably bought those decals when he still had his Corsa with a big wing on the back and replica F&F stickers down the side.

Back when he owned the backroads and could imagine 10 gear changes in an 1/8 of a mile.

He had some proper PH cars too, a load of light weight M3s I believe.

Fish tanks

Why is it whenever I see a fish tank in a chav window or for sale on gumtree it is under-filled

Say tank is 60cm deep, it always seems to have around 40cm of fill

One would assume evaporation but surely you’d counter that in your weekly / daily maintenance

The fish drink it ?

Mine drops a little between maintenance but its minimal, council involves realising that an hour a week is too much like hard work carrying buckets and scrubbing so it ends up like a stinking swamp in the corner of the room. Then ends up on Facebook marketplace but in reality its now worthless.

But where else can I buy a life-size metal sculpture of a giraffe, a Jacuzzi and a 25kg bag of rice under one roof?

Middle of Lidl obviously, though in fairness the giraffes do sell out quickly
