@Victor-Meldrew Well that’s something else I’m stealing. I’m a sucker for a flowchart. That’s not even a joke, three of my favourite books are Pete Frame’s Rock Family Trees. I can get lost in one of those charts for hours, playing a track form each band / incarnation as I work through it. Marvellous. Sad. But marvellous.

They were great. The BBC had a series based on those IIRC.

Yeah, I'm quite sad like that too. My favourite one is a daft punk one

@antipodean depends which way they are turning, if they are travelling the same way as you, then you creating the gap means it is pretty safe, against the flow I come to a stop if I can see the opposite road is clear too, otherwise I'd not flash them to come out if the opposite side is still flowing.
There's plenty of examples on this YouTube channel of cars being left a gap and flowing into oncoming traffic they can't see. I've witnessed it myself numerous times. Even a car turning right across one lane of traffic can impact a cyclist or motorcycle neither cage driver can see. It's dangerous.
Happened to our nanny a year ago. She was driving our kids, turning right across 2 lanes into a car park on the other side of the road. Car in the lane next to her waved her across, and she went, got plowed into by a car in the 2nd lane, that neigltherbhad seen.
neigltherbhad is an outstanding word. I'm stealing it.
my fat fingers are unrivalled
Yeah, nah

I'm fairly open minded, but they're both 13. Even by today's standards that is a bit too young for more than holding hands and the odd peck

At 13 I was trying on far more than holding hands. Second base target.

Sounds like a Pakistani town that somehow ended up in Scandinavia.
As for the 1981 corona, that has to be better than the 2019 version. Pretty sure that Nick doesn't want the term "clapped out" used about his daughter's boyfriend either.
I seem to be lost - I'm not in the appalling jokes thread am I? Leaving now.

Cellar! It's a cellar!

My ownership of the thread didn't last long.

You spelled "dungeon" wrong. Twice.
