You've got to get your priorities in life right. First comes the football game on the weekend, second a beer with your mates, third a game of billiards or darts with your mates at the pub or even better if a nice broad comes along, fourth take the kids to school if you haven't drunk too much, fifth listen to the Mrs whinge and nag just to keep her self fulfilled and if you're in a good mood help her with the shopping. Last, do something around the house just to show her know you're helpful. Mate, learn from the experts!! Can't fault a thing you've said. If you're getting updates on works events; you've lost the remote. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't see people standing around this picture at the national gallery commenting on it's 'verisimilitude', or lack thereof. This looks like a sign to the Ladies and Gents LOO's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing to go by is the track that you say is impossible. Because had it spun around you would see four tyre tracks. We see two, the number left by a vehicle whose rear tyres are running in the track left by its front tyres. I'll be glad when I have enough of this!

If it deviates from a perfectly straight course we'd see more than two tracks. Edited November 9, 2017 by Golden Duck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But whst is most illogical is ghat the tracks cross each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they wearing a dress or trousers. Saying that, i wear jeans a lot so does that mean i can go into the trouser picture one as i am not wearing the correct attire to match the picture? This is all getting rather confusing....maybe i will just stick with going behind the bushes. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozymandias Posted November 10, 2017 #35 Share Posted November 10, 2017 The illogical UK road sign is on the left. This has been the one we were discussing. I hope the illogicality is more evident to those struggling with this issue when you compare it to its Irish counterpart on the right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAyMO Posted November 10, 2017 #36 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Yes it is illogical in that sense but it conveys its meaning. Not sure if these road markings are common in the UK but I first noticed it in Ireland: Slow.................. Slower..............

The yellow sign doesn't convey a loss of control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the ball and man were to scale, the ball would be too small to see when you're driving at night doing 100mph completely drunk. I don't recommend doing that.
