The Ford Ranger is, to me, a compact pickup, basically like the front of a 1980’s VW Rabbit with a bed attached (which was sold in the U.S. then too). Small, efficient and inexpensive, that’s my mental picture of a Ford Ranger, so it took some mental gymnastics to process the “too big” idea in these posts. The 1983 model was 176” long and 67” wide, while this new “midsized” 2023 model is 211” x 78”. It’s a blooming full 3 feet longer and a foot wider, why use that name? I crunched the numbers, and the new Ranger takes up 40% more space. The UK spec is 2.16 m wide which is 85 inches which is actually in danger of being too wide to fit down roads that won't advise of a width restriction, the widest I have seen advised is 7'0" I'm not sure when they start but really they are too big for UK roads 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derry Alli Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 (edited) I've just seen something online that's pissed me off I've been that stupid. When I buy trainers or whatever I'll end up like £10/£15 under free delivery threshold and rather than the £8 delivery I'll spend the shortfall on tat. Usually socks or stickers or pins. Somebody posted online they just bridge the gap with a gift card so next time they use that site they've got money off too. Twenty years of online shopping like a fucking idiot.

Just go and blow your nose FFS! I've worked with one of those too. Some day he's going to be beaten to death with a box of tissues and everyone will turn a blind eye. My son went through a phase of snorting snotters when he was younger, and it too a long, long time to break him in to blowing his nose. Spent ages having to teach him how to do it, but he got there in the end. You're welcome, world. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demand for the away game way higher than the official allocation. Ticketmaster Sweden wouldn't accept any orders being paid for by a German credit/debit card. Solution, buy a gift voucher and purchase the ticket with that. Think about ca. 700 tickets were purchased like this, before they sussed what was going on and closed it down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
