21.02.2026 01:07 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Good news, guys! We told the rental company as soon as the accident happened. They hadnβt given us the right form to complete so we tried to report to the police but couldnβt. We returned the car as planned, filled in the form at their office, and didnβt need to pay a penny. Quick, easy, no charge.
20.02.2026 18:24 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Yes, Iβve thought about this. Yes, I obviously have too much time on my hands.

Genuine weetabix has decent structural integrity so it doesnβt fall apart the minute you take it out of the packet or add a drop of milk. The paper packaging doesnβt cause static - crumbs will cling like glue to plastic wrap.

I tried once while visiting a friend but I barely made it a few hundred yards before getting so terrified that I made her take over again. I have no intention of ever trying again and for that we should all be eternally grateful.

Particularly when said other car is a hire car in a foreign country that may or may not have adequate insurance.

I hope the recovery continues to go well.
What about childless men?
