Sometimes on NSL roads if I am unfamiliar with the road and/or it is very curvy I am not doing 60mph, more like 50-55. Oftentimes someone ends up behind me quite close and I am desperate for them just to overtake so I can continue to drive at my own pace and not stress myself out trying to drive at 60mph and keep an eye on the road and maps

Is there a common way to signal to drivers behind you to go ahead and overtake? I thought about maybe flashing hazards and left indicator, but is there some agreed upon signal?

That’s all really, what a great fight, watching her come back from being down on the score cards and become the first Australian Rajadamnern champion, fucking awesome and super inspiring

Hello!

I want to make this a more routinely active space and am wondering what kind of recurring threads people would like to see and interact with on a weekly basis?

Such as a weekly trouble shooting/problem solving thread where less experienced people can ask questions or talk about issues for more experienced people to try to answer/help with

Another one is Monday goals that I posted a few times, or Sunday wins for celebrating achievements from the past week - thoughts?

Would love to hear your thoughts!

I'm interested in becoming a motorcycle mechanic as an adult (27) but am struggling to find information or courses pertaining to adults rather than school leavers aged 16-18.

Does anyone know how I might go about this?

I feel like I’m getting screwed with overnight stays for dogs. I charge X but then I’m walking the dog multiple times a day (I usually charge X/2 per hour or walk) so I just realised they’re basically getting the overnight for free. Is this just how it works or do I drastically need to adjust my prices or tell people they need to book walks separately??

I use the app that rhymes with Clover

Can’t seem to get a job in my ‘field’ after taking a career break and think I’m about at the point of giving up. Starting a part time job in a cafe soon and may just stick with that and try to build a business on the side. Hugely fortunate to live with my parents rent free but I’m 27 and feel like a pathetic example of an adult. But what can you do.

Hi all, I am considering putting more energy into my pet sitting ‘business’ and am curious to hear how those that do it full time do so?

My questions are primarily -

1. How do you get enough work coming in, and -
2. How do you have the time to do enough work to make a full time salary?

To make a basic amount to live on I’d have to do something like 10 cat visits a day or 5 dog walks, or be doing overnights as much as humanly possible PLUS a lot of drop ins

How do people make this work? Do you focus on dogs and dog walking rather than cats? Do you take multiple dogs on walks at the same time, and if so how do you do that logistically? Do you board animals in your own home and again take on multiple at a time?

I am in the UK.

I’d love to hear any advice or insights full timers have to share, thanks so much

I’ve always just used my phone calendar but the busier I get the more I feel I need a better system. Are there any particular calendars or apps you use to keep track of your bookings that you’d recommend?

Cheers!

I keep returning to the bit when Henry is talking about how his barber always used to charge him £4.50 to cut his hair over the years and how it was directly proportional to the amount of hair he had left each time

The way Henry pronounces ‘four fifty’ in an attempted Greek accent is like a mental tic for me at this point

What are some three bean bits that stick in your head that are less talked about?

Just passed last Friday and bought a car less than a week later this Thursday gone.

Had to take the car round the block in order to rearrange it on the drive with my parents cars, and it was fine until I stalled at a junction and then took about 30 seconds (if that) to get sorted again and pull off again. But before then I was driving slowly around a windy side street with terrible road surface and cars parked on both sides a lot of the way, so I was going about 10mph. I had one or two cars right behind me and then when I stalled at the junction the car behind me honked after about 5-10 seconds and then after another 5 seconds or so overtook me quite aggressively (right at the junction) and drove off.

I’m wondering if having P plates for a bit would reassure people like this that I’m new and will make mistakes and take a bit longer to correct them, or if it wouldn’t actually change their behaviour at all and just make them more annoyed?

Any advice or experiences appreciated

Lately I’ve felt so weak and crap compared to the men I train with. Especially in clinch, how can I possibly compete, and it’s so draining. I’ve just hated training lately because I feel so much weaker and worse than everyone else (all men). It’s really getting me down.

Any advice?

Safely, just bad. Full license holder.

Do you ever just feel like that?

I’ve only ever made banana bread when I see that I have a couple of very brown bananas left over, but now I’m wondering if I should buy bananas deliberately to wait for them to go brown in order to make banana bread, because banana bread is so good it should be made on purpose
