Presumably this is some weird legal no man's land?
I'd be tempted to claim it on the insurance / sue the car park. He must have already thought of that.

I have to say, I'm wondering why it's taking them so long to repair the system.MrLongbeard wrote: Tue Apr 08, 2025 11:11 am My curiosity has been piqued, are there other cars stuck there or just his, is the whole car parked closed, wtf??
Either it's only a small part of the system that's broken (where the van is), or the manufacturer has gone bust and the management company are doing their best Manuel impressions.

Universal Studios to open big ass theme park 15 minutes from my front door.
Suspect this is mostly a good thing. Might make the A421 a bit busier, but fuck it I don't drive that way much anyway
Kinda like the idea of retiring in about 2040 to be the guy who pushes the "go" button on a Roller Coaster

What a major fuck up. The ships don't fit.
Probably some faceless planners who've been paid with no comeback.

"During a changeover in the second set, Dart was heard on the broadcast asking the official: "Can you ask her to put on deodorant? She smells really bad.""
Bit rude.

Re: In todays light hearted look at the (non-political) news
I once had to have a conversation with an employee about their body odour. The rest of his team were threatening to not work with him. I thought they were making a bit of a fuss until he arrived and I asked him in for a chat. The bloody wallpaper nearly came off. You could cut the atmosphere with a knife.gremlin wrote: Wed Apr 16, 2025 4:07 pm I though tennis was meant to be a more refined sport...
