Sagittarius, born in the year of the water rat. Size 44 shoe, not as tall as I claim. Thinning on top, widening round the middle. I try not to be a dick and often fail. What else do you need to know?
Hats off you you for not quoting “digital mediums (sic)”.

I would have imagined that if it were launched with a flat spin, a croque could travel a decent distance. I wouldn’t top it with a fried egg in this scenario.

I have a 20-year old vehicle. It lets me adjust my beam dip angle. I can blind oncoming drivers on undulating roads with standard bulbs just by raising the beam. I imagine this is partly the cause of much of the problem. Adding more powerful lamps would only make it worse.

One of the best gigs I ever went to was a megadog where the Grid were on the bill. Really enjoyed their set. Sad news.

IoM is not part of the U.K.

I cannot take a view on the bill, but there is no reason for IOM legislature to follow any of the UK’s legislatures. I imagine there is a different approach in the Welsh, Scottish, NI and Westminster on this matter anyway.

And here’s the very board.

Small airport is closer. Small island, so it’s probably a passenger transport hub. That limits it to two locations - Ronaldsway airport, and the Sea Terminal. But they’re advertising, so we’re looking for somewhere with the possibility of passing trade, and airports tend to be remote from that.

Bingo. It’s a newspaper sign, so it’s probably outside a newsagent or convenience store. But it’s indoors because the floor is carpet. Where do you find those kind of shops as interior units in larger buildings?

- you may not be as in to this game as I am. No offence taken if you don’t reply 👍

The big writing is a great clue but the small writing is better. That gives you the rough location.
September 26, 2025 at 8:38 AM
I live near this so I’m not guessing. You can geoguess this if you try. First clue - the marking on the sign frame.
September 26, 2025 at 8:36 AM
I know exactly where this sign is located!

I watched them all at the time. I can’t watch Carlyle or Chris Ecclestone without trepidation- both such intense performances, still remember how my insides lurched watching those programmes.

That was one of my favourite gigs ever.

I should have answered directly- that job would be minimum wage. Somewhere between £9 and £12 ph gross.

I should be clear, I’m not disputing the analysis, I want to understand it. It doesn’t stack up with my world view - either my view is wrong, or the analysis is. But which?
August 4, 2025 at 9:48 AM
This is true for many jobs and many economies, and reinforces my point - what exactly *are* we talking about? Where are these numbers from? You can pull any figures from anywhere and tell a micro/macro level story, and only the story + data + analysis is useful. So, can anyone point me to it?
August 4, 2025 at 9:44 AM
No air, numbers also work in my currency. I believe this is true for all currencies.

It is not. That was the kylie sexy inflection point. Looking back at photos of yourself from 30-40 years ago, you probably think “I don’t remember being that young and hot”. Same with kylie, except at BTDYK, she grew into THE kylie.

I may be wrong.

My dad didn’t give me a middle name. I’m not even sure I got the first name I was supposed to. Honestly, I’ve got four kids and they all got the names we went in the registry with …
July 1, 2025 at 9:34 PM
So where does that leave you if you didn’t actually know your name? I don’t intend to change anything, but my name in the register of births and the register of marriages is not the name I’ve been known by my whole life. NB I no longer live in England.
July 1, 2025 at 5:57 PM
That’s really common here. People go by their second given name, but use their first for documents and contracts.
