Coronavirus - Keeping it light :-)

[telectrix]

Interesting afternoon, I live on a very narrow country lane, however sitting in the garden this afternoon, heard a car approaching at what sounded like a very reckless speed as It went past I just caught a glimpse of a white car, about 20 seconds later a very loud bang, Oh I thought someone's hit the tree on the bottom corner again, so went to have a look and sure enough car completely demolished and driver screaming his head off, air bags deployed and driver laying across both front seats, obviously had not been wearing a seat belt, looking him over it looked to me that he had dislocated or broken a hip and his knee on the other leg, called the emergency services and tried to comfort the driver, does anyone know if the talcum powder inside the air bags smells like alcohol, in all there about two hours giving statement to the police, could not believe the questions they asked, for instance, "Would I be prepared to stand by my statement in a child protection court hearing" I asked why and was told, divorce proceeding my ensue and child custody may be an issue, who'd of though that.

was this in UK or France?

UK, can't get to France at the moment, too many restrictions.

Just say your delivery furniture.

Doesn't work quite like that, tests needed, twice before travel and twice after at an extortionate cost, anything on board has to be declared as too age, if new duty to be paid if second hand proof to be available, certain areas of France are on restricted access, red zone, and other hoops to jump through, until the French get used to the new regime and relax at the boarder controls, then not worth it in my opinion.

Speaking of Star Wars..... how did R2D2 (him on my profile pic) ever get anywhere with the computers?
As soon as he connected there would be a CAPTCHA asking him if he was a robot........

CAPTCHAs are clearly an evil plan by the incoming robot overlords though, since only computers can solve the bloody things these days..... Takes us poor humans several goes to work out if that's a 'sidewalk' or not...

Not to mention using us as unpaid "mechanical Turks" to try and help train self-driving car systems, etc.

Now there's a phrase I've never heard before - mechanical Turks.

I shall write it down next to '1920s organ blower'

I was wondering what a mechanical turd was!

Must get my glasses checked.....
