OK, just as long as it's not being used for cunning stunts.

It's probably just me but did anyone else wonder if some members of the crew are whizzing on the graffiti?

Slightly different for us colonials, in New Jersey at least. We lived in an area where there were a lot of smallish houses on rather large lots. Typically half an acre. They were built in the 50s. Demolishing and building a much larger home was not allowed, but you could add an extension to an existing home so the thing to do was add an extension that was bigger than the house. After five years it was OK to demolish the original house :)

Being a skier my Volvo in California sported ED4ZHLS and a Scotland emblem. I was buzzed on the freeway one morning by a Lexus bearing EBYGUM. Obviously he was either from Cornwall or Devon.

I'm quite partial to the aroma from valve (tube) amplifiers. Probably because it takes me back to when I was a yoot.

The city of Lewiston in Idaho, near the confluence of the Snake and Clearwater rivers, has a big pulp mill. It doesn't half pong. I don't think I could live there.

Canal station in Paisley was adjacent to a Robertson's jam factory. There was a wonderful aroma of whatever they were making that day while waiting for a train.

As the saying goes: " Two sheds are better than one."

Context laddie! Context 😁

Come to think of it I saw a urologist recently who said he could fix that PDQ. I politely declined 😮

Or born in the USA. 90% of white males are.

Well, as the hat-maker ad used to say, "If you want to get a hat, get a head". (or maybe it was the other way round. I can never remember 🤔)

They are very similar and easily confused with each other 🤣

No, Hamilton is near Glasgow in Scotland.

I have a brother in the Granite City. The background radiation level is a bit higher there because of the granite.

"The streets were deserted. It was like Aberdeen on a flag day."

Was he an Aberdonian perchance 🤣

Well, it does depend on some things a bit. The detectable DC current flowing through our bods is 5 milliamps. Our bods have quite a low internal resistance so if it was an internal connection we could detect a few volts. But our skin has quite high resistance. As much as half a million ohms when dry but as low as a thousand ohms when wet. So to get a current to flow we have two skin contact "resistors" plus our internal resistance (which depends on the path length through the bod.) My personal empirical experience says I can detect around 60 volts DC but, depending on my skin at the time, it could be a lot higher or a lot lower than that.

I'm having a hard time keeping up with this thread. Are we talking here about kitchens or courtesans?

I remember ice on the inside of the windows LAST WEEK! The windows are double glazed too. In fairness it was the coldest it's ever been since we came here 28 years ago and the concertina thermal blinds were working as they should.

Sunrise over the lake this morning. AKA my excuse for not putting up a Christmas tree 😀

You will need at least five 12 volt batteries to get any sort of reaction 🤣

I had to look that up. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/M62_locomotive

When I was walking through the parking lot at Costco I walked past a guy who was loading stuff into the bed of his pickup truck. While he was doing that a lady in the passenger seat had her door wide open and kept yelling, "Hey! Why did you buy Charmin instead of Kirkland!" As I passed the guy I smiled and said "Hey!" while shaking my finger at him. He just laughed. 🤣
