New roof > legal tyres.
Why is nearside not the driver's side? If I'm in the car driving it and notice something wrong with it the near side is the fucking side I'm sitting on the driver's seat.
This is fucking bullshit.
I feel like I'll be having this conversion with my daughter in 14 years' time. Your parents have failed you, Bould. Either that or your dad doesn't drive/is gay.
Nearest to the kerb. You drive on the left.
This conversation is all the proof I'll ever need that I'm right on this one (or am I offside?)
Him having a meltdown at Kwikfit because they've changed the wrong tyre.
Westside, mate.

And in a left hand drive car? Nearside being nearest the kerb avoids confusion. Well, in theory...
It should. Though I'm more surprised Boydy isn't knocking around on a penny farthing.
Get your filthy foreign cars out of the country. That's where in a left hand drive car.
Wait, I'm with Boydy on nearside/offside.
I'm not having that the offside is the tyres on the drivers side.
The most active TTH has been in years and it's because of lane naming.
This and the queuing bit from the other day have confirmed to me that this is the most actively British place on the interwebs.The most active TTH has been in years and it's because of lane naming.
They are though. Go in tomorrow and ask anywhere to have your offside tyres checked and they'll look at the right.
Even your MOT test sheet has them this way.
It's wrong though, what a shit system.
My first convert.
What do you mean yours?
I mean I started this revolution. You can be the first convert and mahow the second if it makes you feel better.
They're left and right tyres, you mongs.
From who's perspective though?
The driver's.
Yes I realise that's what he meant but using left/right introduces potential for confusion. Near side and offside are always the same thing.
That's just nonsense.
The whole debate is nonsense.
It is. Still not 100% sure of the tire thing to be honest. Care to clarify?

Driver side, passenger side. Simple.
Which is basically the same, terminology that is isn't affected by perspective.
Interesting side point: if you're taking off or landing on an aircraft carrier your directions are given with reference to Port and Starboard of the ship rather than to anything else.
Just gave the kid a tenner to pay for her ice cream because we got it separately from the meal. She got the change and I said put one of the gold ones in the tip jar and she dumped 4 quid in. I didn't want to look tight so I left it. 4 quid for a 25 quid meal and not even table service.
4 quid for 25 is 15-20% which is what you should be tipping anyway.
edit: Missed the lack of table service.
He's also not in America.
Erm 10% if they're lucky.
Please be a more stereotypical Scotsman.
If he was being a stereotypical Scotsman he'd shout 'live on yer fuckin wage' and take the four quid back.
Ten percent is fine in the UK.
It was the half English lion rampant unionist inside me that didn't want to shame my family by taking the money back, thus being totally un-British.
Where were you to get a family meal for twenty five quid? McDonald's?
Some Mexican street food offering at the Grassmarket.
John's right, ten is fucking plenty.
I tend to do 10-15% depending on how good the meal/service was.
I gave about 23% the other day.
The meal was only £17.10 and the waiter was brilliant.
He was bringing me refills before I had finished my previous drink.
10% or lower is for shit service, 15% is for standard, 20+% if the service goes above and beyond and the actual meal isn't too hefty.
In fairness the waitress did go down the street to their 'sister' restaurant to get us some ice cream because all they had was weird, spicy Mexico wanky shit.
I know we have a video thread but the existence of this bilge has fucked me right off. Look who's producing it, the fucking BBC.
20%? America really is shit.
Good food is shit cheap though, so you don't mind.
As if there are people out there tipping 20%. What the fuck is going on?
Been looking to download the lastest Elementary and Brooklyn Nine Nine and everything seems to be in fucking mkv now.
Give vlc and gom players a go, I'm not sure I've ever found anything they can't play.
I've recently switched from VLC to Potplayer, it's brilliant.
