Don't really know the area.

Why is it boring?

Really? I wouldn't have commented if so

Not uncommon now to have a massive SUV that doesn't fit poking out onto the pavement

When people hear "older cars" they envisage classics like the Morris minor pictured

Old cars here means mid 2010s which were still very, very good in terms of performance, reliability and safety.

No touch screens either

Perhaps because I was in school at the time, but I remember this film being deathly boring to the point it led to a lifelong unconscious bias against any film with Jodie Foster
January 11, 2026 at 4:43 PM
I'd wager that very few people knew that was (still is?) possible!

Yes, because they aren't the only ones let's not tackle anything.

Obviously some would rant to anyone about how "unfair" it is but I suppose most people probably only have a small set of people who'd they'd admit it to

Houses sit on*private* property (land) next to the street.

Always makes me think about the MasterCard advert.

You can spend a ton of money on good kit but nothing beats not having to use it.

Does this mean you can use Ryu to beat up the Hamburgler?

I keep FB for the same reason & if I accidentally see my feed I get the same

Never see anything of interest on it like posts from friends (what it was all about originally). Just mindless crap

Speaking of which, the marketplace itself is full of jokers. Hate using it but necessary sometimes

Absolutely.

I own a car but I don't use it much and am on my bike much more often (no point driving into central London).

Not uncommon to have drivers assume that since you're on a bike you must be too poor to afford a car for.

Casino Royale was a bond origin movie and did really well

Am I missing something, or are you saying that Casino Royale didn't work?

Oh right - you should have led with that then 🙂

Let's campaign to make use of that existing power. Agree that crushing is silly.
September 21, 2025 at 6:51 PM
Yes, but then the thread is about *not* doing that

So my comment is in response to selling it on, not a hypothetical crushing
September 21, 2025 at 6:49 PM
The leasing company still owns the car, so you can't sell it to a third party.
September 21, 2025 at 6:46 PM
Yes, but you still can't sell someone else's asset
September 21, 2025 at 6:45 PM
Except most people don't own their cars these days, instead spending silly sums each month to rent it
