Not perfectly but it a long long way from a petrol car going 3k miles. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HibeeJibee Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 Giant dinosaur head on roof saved from extinction - BBC News A giant dinosaur head at the centre of a local row in a Scottish seaside village has been allowed to remain. The light up sculpture was installed above an antiques shop in Cullen, Moray, last year. Owner John Webb had a retrospective planning application refused as it was not in keeping with the area’s traditional appearance. But Moray Council's local review body has voted, by five votes to three, that its benefit to the village outweighs any negative impact. Local review body chairman Marc Macrae said: “The dinosaur brings people from near and far, and kids come from Inverness to see it. “Local shops and local hotels are very much in support." Councillor Derek Ross added: “I think many of us here have been accused of being dinosaurs. “I’m giving a thumbs up to something I think will be an asset to the local community.” But councillor Juli Harris said: "Surely something like a dinosaur head plonked on a building that is in disrepair does nothing to enhance the area?” 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If by cherry-picked you mean literally the first one I found when googling, then sure, if that pleases you. I've no idea why you're so staunchly defending leaf blowers. Do you work for a leaf blower company, or are you just some combination of supremely lazy and uncaring about the environment? I'd love to see your cherry-picked study showing the benefits of leaf blowers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you took one study, 12 years ago, of four engines and generalized that into “the word”.

bennett Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 A Scots garage is appealing to the public after they claim their Santa was pelted with hard boiled eggs. The Garage Limited in Whitburn take Father Christmas on a tour of their community in West Lothian every year. But they have urged locals to check their CCTV and dashcams after their sleigh and volunteer Saint Nicholas allegedly came under attack last night, reports Edinburgh Live. Santa was heading along the B7010 between Fauldhouse and Longridge when three boiled eggs were thrown in the direction of the vehicle at around 9pm on Friday December 22. he volunteer Santa was hit and suffered bruising on his shoulder and arm. A spokesperson for the garage said that it could have been much worse with one boiled egg coming “inches from Santa’s face.” Posting to their Facebook, the garage said: “Dear Community, Customers, Friends & Family, I’m sure you’ve already seen our otherwise successful Santa tour had been marred by the distressing incident that occurred on the way home last night which needs to be addressed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diegomarahenry Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Apart from the oddball behaviour exhibited and the apparent ease in getting in to a hospital and finding scrubs in a cupboard, the weirdest thing about this story is the picture of the guy. A knock at the door- Who is it? It’s a reporter from the Ardrossan Herald Cool, I’ll just grab my phone and f**k all clothes. https://www.ardrossanherald.com/news/24067580.fake-crosshouse-hospital-doctor-anthony-adams-jailed/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
