My kids loved Paw Patrol. I used to watch it, obviously only for essential parenting reasons. I enjoyed analysing the tactical elements of their work, but I have to say always felt the realness of the series was badly let down by them all swanning about with jetpacks and other silly gadgets, when clearly real life rescue heroes would have used a fleet of battered Disco 2s and Dacia Dusters. An obvious oversight, and a real shame Or maybe he just likes Paw Patrol? My son used to like that, he talked about things “deploying” all the time!
That Lookout must have cost a fortune. Who pays for it all?
A simple rescue such as “ooooh Ryder help, Chickoleta has followed a trail of popcorn and is trapped on a second storey window ledge!!”
“Don’t worry Mayor Goodway, paw patrol are on a roll!”…..etc etc…
Helicopter, fire engine, a backpack that fires a zipline….all deployed.
Even the simplest rescue must cost in the region of £100k. Some of the more complex one have to be over £1m. Why no other police or fire services in the town, is it a company owned town, is that where the money comes from?
The pups are allowed to speed with impunity. Chase seems to have powers of arrest.
There seems to be zero oversight of any of their actions.
Who has funded the tech involved in the Paw Patroller? Do they have permission to have an robo-dog in charge of this vehicle at high speed?
Law unto themselves! All very shady. Are the people prisoners on an island forced to play out Ryder’s fantasies of being a hero? A megalomanic super wealthy man/child who wants to be continually ‘rescuing’ people? Uber-4x4 walt?

If you drive a 2.0. 2009 diesel 5 series estate: just say so
No I have a E. something blah blah blah blah.
It’s like some word cult of bell ends.
They’ll be a response on here shortly about why it’s so important to refer to the E number. Trust me , no one cares.
But some people do care which model it is, certainly more than what year it is. If a string of owners are finding corrosion in the XYZ module it's interesting to know whether they are driving the same model as each other and the same one you have or are thinking of buying. Working out whether it's the same model from the year isn't as easy.If you drive a 2.0. 2009 diesel 5 series estate: just say so

This made me laugh.Years ago I had a friend who acquired his fathers 3 year old company car - a Vauxhall Cavalier SRi 130.
We were at a party and one girl asked us what cars we drove. I said a Golf, and my friend said: "I drive a Vauxhall Cavalier SRi 130.." and with that the girl said "Ugh! You're boring!" and walked off.

Not sure which specific BMW model number it is that gets 'milkshaked' at 1:04, though...

Also, I know it's a cartoon but it winds me up that Marshall's fire fighting backpack seems to have an endless supply of water.

It's a talking dog that can drive but it's an unrealistic water supply that winds you up? Also, I know it's a cartoon but it winds me up that Marshall's fire fighting backpack seems to have an endless supply of water.

My normally aspirated 3.0 V8.
My 2.5 turbo charged V6
Often linked to something about road fund licence, cost of fuel in the future, or more often, electric cars and that nothing can replace the roar of my exhaust.
Again ffs just say what you drive if yr referencing yr car.
As if anyone is going to start judging you by what you drive. Everyone has different incomes, is different ages, lives in different parts of the world, wants a car to do different things.

If you guys are struggling with patrula canine, dont ever watch postman pat.
Every single time, the package arrives late and / or damaged. Often, the delivery driver damages someone elses property, and the vast inefficiecy and ineptitude on display means i'm certain that they make a loss on every parcel. Hell, how much is helicopter fuel, anyway?
Honestly, postman pat is a terrible infomercial for the public sector.

Amd yet an entirely accurate depiction of most courier services...Every single time, the package arrives late and / or damaged.
