If you like the way Ismo dissects the English language, there are a lot of videos on Youtube. Michael McIntyre as well. And if you like Aussie stuff, Carl Barron is also there.

Right again.

Fish shop lady just scuttled any slim chance she had, saying she has a lot in common with Chump.

Correct OT.

Here's how it looks on the video.

Ian, I'm not sure how you got that without the credits on the bottom. It must be a Facebook thing. Every time I click on a link, I get the credits of the poster, a Follow button and other details. It's infuriating, because if there is text in the reel, the credits are superimposed and you can't read either. See below: White credits overlaid:

This is not part of a quiz. Does anyone recognise this guy? The face is very familiar, but I'm damned if I can think of his name.

Right again.

Dunno whacha missin'.

Yep. The old slogan for Palmolive dishwashing liquid.

Six roundabouts in one.

Correct.

They are Snipping Tool screen shots from a video. Everybody seems to be making AI fake videos these days.

Spacey, you must have been dawdling through the intersection. I'm happy to be corrected if I'm wrong, but I believe the amber light gives sufficient time to clear the intersection if you are still facing a green light when you enter it. The idea is to give you time if you are too close to the line to stop. My car is fitted with that device that changes every light to red as you approach, so I try to always be prepared to stop. I assume it will turn red, but continue in case it doesn't. When it turns amber I stop unless I am only a meter or two from the line. Cars in other lanes may overtake me, but that's the risk they take. There is always the exception. One night we had a call from a hospital where my wife had been having tests during the day, asking her to come back in straight away.. It was about 9:30 at night and the road was wet. There were no other cars about. As I approached, the lights turned amber. I would have had to brake hard to stop in the remaining distance, and I was afraid I might skid, so I took the risk. About halfway through the intersection the lights turned red and the camera flash went off. I got the fine in the mail saying I was 0.6 seconds in the red light. I appealed explaining the circumstances, but the appeal was dismissed. Them's the breaks, I had to take it on the chin.

Another massive excavator.

This would give kids nightmares

Our house is virtually falling apart. The kids want to pull it down and rebuild. I told them they'll have to wait till I'm gone. It would probably require rewiring. I don't have the money to fix it up and it would only be putting a bandaid on a shipwreck.

I hate copping a bill for $300 or more. Usually lands when other big bills arrive. I pay $40 or $50 fortnightly out of each pension. I can keep tabs on how much credit I have built up, and how much I'm likely to pay. I can increase or decrease my fortnightly payments as required. Then when the bill arrives, it is usually $0 or a very small amount. Helps budgeting.

If you are making a right hand turn from the centre lanes of a street with trams, you have to stop on the tramlines till traffic coming the other way clears. This holds up trams going in both directions. Pulling left as shown in the video lets trams travel through. Then, when the lights change, you complete the right turn.
