My brother-n-law just failed his bike test today......................

Apparently his feet were in the wrong place on the pegs, (he rode with balls of feet on the pegs).






































Might also have something to do with the fact that 2 weeks ago the examiner cancelled his test 5 mins before it was due to start, (radio not working properly) and was supposed to put him in for another straight away but forgot. When bro-n-law phoned up to query when his test was they understandably had no record of his cancellation and being put in for another. Gets a phone call last Thursday, "can you make it next Tuesday??", and "by the way the examiner has been bollocked for not putting you back in straight away when it was he who cancelled your test on the day".

Turns up today and guess what, same examiner.

What is called a "French kiss" in the English speaking world is known as an "English kiss" in France.

  • In the weightlessness of space a frozen pea will explode if it comes in contact with Pepsi.
  • Legislation passed during WWI making it illegal to say "gesundheit" to a sneezer was never repealed.

it needs to be done

Silly Putty was "discovered" as the residue left behind after the first latex condoms were produced. It's not widely publicized for obvious reasons.

The nice man who you get into a conversation with about fuel additives will try to sell you octane boost for your low-state-of-tune SV engine.
