Who is it?
Shmee. A YouTuber/Influencer. Possibly the most irritating person on the 'net. I can't watch anything with him in it as it would risk my very expensive monitor.

I'm sure he's a nice bloke in real life and probably nothing like his online persona.

Furthermore, he is earning good money from what he does, so I doubt he cares what I - or anyone else - thinks.
So what's wrong with the photo?
No idea (it wasn't me that posted it).

No, I know. It was a general question, but I quoted the conversation so people would know which picture I was asking about. smile

Looks like you've done 63 base 10 miles, 3.5 of them since resetting the trip.

^^ the poor door looks absolutely horrified, and who can blame it.

There’s a bit of Munch’s The Scream going on.

I call fake as the handle is the right way up and if the door was upside down, the euro lock and door spindle position wouldn't be interchangeable (I think).

He is a fitter though.. so although he could only manage to find a right-hand door, maybe he did have a left hand handle available.

The panel containing the glazing and letterbox is separate from the frame containing the handle. I’d say that’s to door the old bill put in as that’s the weak spot.

One more mile in a freelander? No I'd quit while I was ahead. It's nothing short of a miracle it's made it that far.

That's a chunky ankle. Are they for cross-dressers who can't handle conventional heels?

We've been looking at houses recently with a view to moving, 3 of them in the same area, built by the same builders at the same time. Light in the main bedroom in each house is not in the centre of the room and not in the same place in any of them. Roughly the same place but each one is different.
Buy each house. Knock them down. Start again. wink

I used to do that...





Also have all the 1's, 2's and 3's somewhere, sold it at 60k so that game was finished.

More recently...

The mileage on my first car when I sold it...



Recreated a couple of months ago on my current van...



Yes. I'm fully aware I do indeed need to get a life! whistle

It used to be an old standard that bedroom lighting was not centered but nearer to the windows.
This was so that you didn't cast a naked silhouette onto the curtains for your neighbours entertainment.
Lots of old rules have been forgotten.

Is that true about light position?

I know they’re always closer to the window than the centre of the room as on a lot of sites we have to put a nogging in the trusses for the electrician to fix his pendant to and the drawings always show the light closer to the window than centre.

I thought it was because natural light comes from that direction so they fitted the light closer to that side.

Every days a school day. wink
