On the radio yesterday a presenter was reading messages pouring in from listeners.
One was from a lady who said that she had stocked up on the essentials, teabags. petrol and toilet paper.
There were others saying that the country should be on lock down and other such hysterical stuff.
The cynic in me can’t help but wonder if this is benefitting somebody somewhere who is taking advantage of the situation.
Well someone somewhere will find a way to benefit from just about anything but that being someone with the wherewithall to actualy orchestrate the panic, no. We don’t really need any more tin foil hattery at the moment.
You know the Del Boys gonna be selling that toilet roll for mark up to old people.
Can’t see it properly on that pic but what’s in the Manchester section? My guesses:
Boot-cut cords
Kickers
‘Moo As Fuck’ tees
Fiver bags of whiz
John Lennons
Maracas

Bucket hats.
Got my driver’s licence at age 38 Friday.
Went to my girlfriend’s parents for lunch after that, learnt that her cousin had a car to sell, bought it right away. Hadn’t planned any of that. Pretty crazy.
Looking forward to being able to go to any skatepark at any time, go to remote places for hiking, travel differently too, and build a portable grind box. Yes.

I’m an adult with a job, I can afford a cheap car, and I’m gonna keep on using public transportation and walking too. Just stoked to have access to more options.

Thank you mate.
I’m glad I can drive now but I don’t regret not doing it earlier. I was a mess when I was younger, drinking loads, I could have done silly things had I driven in my twenties.

Myself and the good lady are car free. While there are definite advantages to getting out into the countryside or whatever every couple of weeks, by and large I have zero interest in getting a license and car. It’s not always the easiest relying on public transport in Dublin, but we manage fine and we cycle pretty much everywhere when possible with the young lad. Saves a fortune as car costs in Ireland are extortionate and Dublin traffic is brutal at best.

Buying those types of cars, the big German whales is exactly the best way to get bang for your buck. I had an old Merc CLS, would’ve been about £60k new, got it about 8 years old for £7k. Insane depreciation as soon as you look bigger than the standard Audi A3/Merc C Class/BMW 3 Series etc.

Anyone remember those fibreglass Scimitars? They were quite cool I thought ha.

I do and they looked like a crap Austin version of a Jensen Interceptor, which were very unreliable.
The Scimitars also apparently caught fire a lot and ended up looking like Brillo pads.
