Plus you don't want big burly builders ogling your smalls! :rotfl:

Yes. I was out the other day, bending over in the corner closest to my house and heard some chap saying something about "Big Asses" - but realised he had his back to me and was singing along with a song on their radio and didn't even know I was there

There's an awful lot of Fing and blinding going on all the time. Very blokeish banter.

They're not really "big burly builders" more regular build gobby scousers.

I'd just take the compliment and move on....

I actually have zero !!!.... so small, even when big bums were out of fashion it looked like a "no !!!" situation.



It's probably why I don't see an issue in wearing thongs - because there's nothing to cover, I never get the problem some people have with them.... they're simply "knickers" to me

I never go anywhere, but I did have to get a passport as a form of ID that's accepted these days when you have to prove who you are...

Very expensive to get a passport if you are never going to use it.

What organisation insists on a passport, given that you have a valid driving licence?

My driving license is a 1980 paper one

When I moved in 2006, the only way of updating my driving licence to my current address was converting it to a photo card one.

Same here, last year - at least it means that I have photo ID.

Haven't had a passport nor photo driving licence for years but had no problem using my work passcard plus, if necessary, a payslip so that there was a clear link between the photo, name & company on one and name, company and address on the other.
When I retired I had to hand my passcard in so that means of photo ID went out of the window

Glad I didn't miss a trick and that really was the only option.

PN, you do need to make sure that your driving licence has your current address, not least because it is a legal requirement.

Er, shhh .. it's on the To Do list.

Frighteningly large fine - and of course once they have got you onto the photo scheme you have to have it replaced every 10 years so more opportunity for fines and fees.

I've had another look around and think - I suspect they're being attracted by the two skips the other side of the fence, right against it nearly ... and I bet the builders have been lobbing their old McD wrappers and lunches in there on the quiet....

Not impossible - they are principally nomadic until they find a food source and when that dries up they'll move on.

As an example, when a refreshment/hotel building was erected at the summit of Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) in the 1800s, they had furries there within (IIRC) a fortnight - there had been none before, understandably, because there was no food source until then. They'd happened to wander close enough to smell food and up they went.

Are there any up Everest, do you think?



I bet they haven't managed to get to the ISS yet, though!
