So what do the British do for fun? See who can throw a shopping cart furthest into a river? Eat some sausages and get drunk? Watch it rain? Churchill would be proud. On a less satirical note, The Aldi store in Alton has shopping carts that take a quarter to unlock them, Personally I think it's just annoying, but I guess it keeps the shopping carts from disappearing in the night. Their cart's also have swivel-ey wheels on all four corners. No idea why.
To make my point about the coins still having life left in them. Here are two coins, one from 1985 and one from 2005. They are both equally shiny and text/imagery is legible on both. One of them is 32 years old and looks like it still has at least another 10 years of life in it if left in circulation. In fact the only thing that looks old is the queen on the 2005 coin There is also a wide range of art on them Many have different text around the sides of them. Some years are Welsh and have welsh text on, others are UK, others are English, others are N.Irish. Personally I am not a coin collector and I mostly take them for granted, but the current ones are pretty cool. But like I said, I am sure there are good reasons for replacing them. --- Post updated --- I have never seen a shopping trolley that doesn't have swivelling wheels in all four corners. Outside of garden centre ones which only have two wheels mounted in the centre. How in the world do your supermarkets function without swively wheels on all corners. Savages the lot of you
My dad found a coin from '92 under the floorboard and aside from the dust, which we cleaned off, it looked brand new. @Peterbilt I prefer the ones with 4 swiveling wheels. Better for childish drifting around corners
Wow, I guess we must keep coins in circulation longer, as I just grabbed a handful from my change pile, and the first 3 were 1971, 1966 and 1965.
Same here in Canada, with pennies especially. Ones from the '60s and '70s are (or at least were, until 2013) quite common, though I've come across ones from as early as the 1920's still in circulation. Of course now they've been phased out, so you don't see them very often at all anymore. $1 and $2 coins are always less than ~25 years since we used to use notes instead.
I've had coins from the 70s But those trollies that take a £1 coin, dont check any properties of the coin, they only feed from a rough fitting object, doesnt even have to be metal. Circular section of some house keys actually fits and opens the trolley. New coins will probably fit, they are the same diameter after all
Exactly. There would have to be more mechanism for it to actually work, hence why those circular plastic chips work. It would be unnecessary for it to have that, after all you get your coin back anyway.
Just looking around my desk, I happen to have one of each coin in current circulation, plus a special issue loonie. I've always liked the 10 cent coin since I've been on board the Bluenose II, the successor to the boat depicted.
All this talk about shopping carts and coins confuse me. Coins buy me stuff, and I put that stuff in a shopping cart. 'Nuff said.
I can't believe people want to frack in the iconic Sherwood forest, it's stupid, inconsiderate and the place is on of those where it feels truly untouched, it would be a truly sh!tty thing to see it get ruined just to get some stupid gas.
Post for the day: My Dog is as tired as I am trying to drive in half a foot of snow (Central Jersey had about 3-6 inches, that's where I live sadly, Now I miss all the rain)
When you do a perfect launch for the first time in a manual, That's just the best feeling in the world.
I'm getting ever more fascinated by the cancerous part of our forum. Benjamin tam has changed his avatar since I found his furaffinity profile. Me being me, dragged that image onto my desktop, opened a new tab, went on over to google images and dragged that right back into the search bar, turned up cartoon images of blue kettles. Added the key word "JetBlue" and when I found the original image proceeded to end up helplessly giggling like a small child. But I've been noticing an awful lot of cropped porn and fetish material used as avatars on this forum lately. Whats up with that? Have people really got to flaunt their kinks on a gaming forum?
Apparently it's "perfectly fine" here for whatever reason I fail to understand, some might argue that it's "off topic". But alas.
Sorry not impressed, clutch dump or don't bother That's the only way to drive in Forza with Manual + Clutch, actually annoys me how I can't do a smooth launch without doing a powerskid.
