@SchtroumpfLily @ctwill6 @RespectfulMemes Yep and yep, my horsey other half has said that it’s common in older horses that might struggle to get back up from having been laid down

Saw @Pendulum last night, absolutely incredible evening

@FuckCarsReddit @Wankpanzer Sadly public transport isn’t an option for me currently, as my shift work requires me to leave my house at 4 in the morning and trains or buses simply aren’t running at that time. I dream of the day when I can find a job closer to home and cycle there and back though

Christmas reinforces the fact that not having kids is mint and I never want kids

@bunsenbernerbmd On the left, our Spaniel who had 1 eye and on the right our Border Terrier who had a leg amputated because of cancer, both with enormous hearts. Sadly both have gone over the rainbow bridge and I miss them every day

@dan710ths Proper smoothbrain activity to enjoy fireworks, we had to rush a pony into emergency surgery last year after being spooked by fireworks

[RF96 @RobFoard]

Enjoying fireworks really is smooth brain activity

[Protect the Wild @ProtectTheWild_]

Anyone else sick of the fireworks?

Pointless and utterly cruel to so many animals.

Time they were banned/restricted.

@Wankpanzer An estate car would do exactly the same job, for cheaper 🤷

@twlch63 @WalesOnline This ^ 20mph and my Skoda is doing 1400rpm in the lowest gear possible so as to not stall, but at 30mph, also in the lowest possible gear, I’m doing around 1050rpm

[RF96 @RobFoard]

@Thecarhoarder Just to add onto your point about 450 being useless as a personal street vehicle…. I strongly believe that anything over 200 brake (in the UK anyway) should require a further driving assessment, which would certainly cut down on 17 year olds crashing obscenely powerful cars

[RF96 @RobFoard]

The fact I need glasses to find my glasses in the morning after I wake up says this is utter bollocks

[mallory (she/her)💬 @this_is_mallory]

I guess it was only a matter of time before the anti-glasses grift became a thing?

This community is so hellbent on having a contrarian opinion on every incredible scientific invention.

@AldiUK I think Annie could be the face of the rescue category, found as a stray in Lancashire incredibly underweight and nervous, now she’s a healthy weight and much calmer (unless you’re a cat, rabbit, squirrel, or horse)

[RF96 @RobFoard]

@Carpervert I generally have more respect for someone with an estate versus someone with an SUV. You’ll never see an XC70 being driven like a twat, unlike newer Rangies and Touregs (which I suspect have been adopted by the 500 and Adam crowd)

[RF96 @RobFoard]

@TK42138 @v8oholic I live in North Wales, haven’t visited London since I was a wee lad, maybe 20+ years now, and had a letter through advising that I couldn’t take my Shogun Sport into London…. Waste of paper much?

[RF96 @RobFoard]

The Wirral is…. Okay. Not much to do really, hence why I now live in North Wales!

[RF96 @RobFoard]

@yshahar The only thing my Superb estate can’t do that an SUV can do is tow heavier loads and be better off-road. And since I tow infrequently and never need to go greenlaning on my way to work, I’d say the estate trumps the SUV

[RF96 @RobFoard]

@Bishop0151 @climbtechy @yshahar If you’re using the chance of getting into a pile up as the basis for buying an SUV, why not go the whole hog and buy a tank? You’ll definitely survive a pile up in one of those!

@DanielCars05 Land of my fathers 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 hope you enjoyed the classic Welsh weather!

[RF96 @RobFoard]

@david_mccraw Why the hell would you want to go over 60 in an SUV anyway? The Jeep we have (which I hate, by the way) feels incredibly unstable at that speed! Plus you can definitely fit as much stuff in an estate (like my Superb) and you won’t look like a raging bellend

[RF96 @RobFoard]

@MarksDoingGreat I went from a God-awful Astra SRI to an Avensis T180 - went like shit off a shovel for a considerable sized family saloon
