Off Topic The "Discuss Anything Else" Thread

Good news folks. It seems as though life in driverless cars is going to be better than fraidy cats like me first thought. Scott Cohen, deputy director of research of the School of Hospitality and Tourism Management at the University of Surrey, has led a study into the impact these cars will have on us all. Among a whole host of advantages we'll have, is more sex in cars. Yep, no hands on the wheel, they'll be somewhere else.

According to a survey carried out in the United States, somewhere around 60% of Americans have admitted to have had sex in a car. Randy bastards. The mind boggles at the possibilities. I think there will likely come a time when even the thought of looking in somebody's glove box will be enough to send a shudder down the spine. And what's that sticky substance on the armrest of a mate's car? Is it the remains of a lollie or a jolly?

 

The above information has got me thinking. I have never attempted to learn to drive so have not passed a driving test. In the near future will I be able to f**k about Edinburgh in a 'driverless' car?

 

You bet ya' Kenny. You'll be propped up on the back seat of a Merc , a floozy in one hand, whisky in the other and a wicked grin on ya' face. You'll be the envy of Edinburgh.

 

Better call a halt to the 'extensions' to my holidays so I can afford your vision!

 

Well, Kenny, you just might still need a licence as the owner/occupant might have to take-over should the driverless system fail, just like pilots do when the computer system fails in an aircraft or elsewhere? And you can't take-over from the back seat either!

Think I tried this sex business once in a car. Since I'm 6'2" (or was, probably shrunk, like everything else ) got cramp. Anyway, it did not go into my special archive of important memories, such as the first one, with a nice WAAF in the grass south of Wilmslow. Ah my, have always had a 'thing' about brass buttons ever since.

 

I went out with a dental nurse for quite a while. She had keys to the surgery; nuff said!

 

No teeth?

 

Is it safe?

Black Friday

Is that not when the local chip shop forgets to take the fish out and the batter burns?

 

Good grief, what a sick nut case. A very dangerous country to live in, no doubt about that.

Anyone off to Sainsbury's for some edible crickets? Very popular in Thailand, but I cannot see the dish overtaking fish and chips anytime soon.

"Sainsbury’s to start selling edible crickets this weekend."

 

Think I'll stick to the strawberry jam filled doughnuts!

 

Erm, Kenny, I think fried crickets would be classed as a main dish, not an 'in-between' coffee break thing?

Which reminds me, just about time for a 'Spezial' and a few 'Kettle Chips' from dear old Norwich; an excellent combination!

 

God Almighty, Cyc/Kenny, I ain't going to mine anymore!
