This is a road sign which has appeared on the corner of the crescent in question. Every time I drove past it, I was sure something was off. Attachment: PXL_20220815_105614746.jpg This is the sign on the other side of the crescent. Of course, it should only have one L. Attachment: PXL_20220815_105625440.jpg So these signs must be quite far apart for no one to have noticed when it was being installed, right? Attachment: PXL_20220815_105634845.jpg Oh... |

When we visited my mother last I noticed they’d put a new road sign up about 2m from her front door and spelled it wrong, but she hadn’t noticed. |

What feels like about 10 military jets just flew towards Exeter from Plymouth! I was inside for the first few, and thought "once you've heard it, you've probably missed it" But the noises just kept coming, I went outside, and managed to catch 2 of them in the distance, before getting my camera out and recording the last one. They were not going super fast, but they were quite low. Attachment: Screenshot_20220818-141837.png Sorry for the grainy shot, it was at maximum zoom from the video lens |

It happens from time to time, but not usually after midnight in the middle of September. I think from where they were coming from, it was the family that have 4 or 5 off-roaders in various states of repair in their drive/parked up on the road. |

I don't think any of them are abandoned, I don't know if they buy them knackered and then do them up, but apart from two or three they seem to change quite frequently. I think they are just really into off roading and doing up cars. (and possibly letting off late night fireworks once in a blue moon) |

I was today years old when I actually listened to the lyrics being sung in Pumped Up Kicks by Foster The People and realised that not only is it not a happy-go-lucky song, it's a song about a school shooting and it's not even subtle about it. |

Yeah, I don't think most people realise. Thought it was really odd to hear it playing in Asda the other day. |

I can only assume the less than stellar diction of the singer is to blame, but the chorus is pretty clear, Gaz |

Post subject: | Re: Bits and Bobs 51 |
Yeah, for real. It's just one of those songs that I tend to hear 'in the background', when I'm focussing on other things. Today it came through on my headphones while I was at my computer. |

Post subject: | Re: Bits and Bobs 51 |
I've a long history of not paying attention to the words of songs (I think some intellectual snobbery somewhere just assumes they are made to fit the rhythm and don't matter), so I hadn't noticed Pumped Up Kicks wasn't a jolly-along song either. |

It's a great word, and implies the existence of promacassars. |
