Had to pull the motor in my old 88 GMC. The bell housing bolts were bolts with a stud on the head for clamps for plumbing etc. Now I don't remember which was which, the nut on the stud was 9/16ths and the bolt head was 17mm! The irritation came with needing 2 extensions and swivel to get on the top ones! Then get your hands up in there to hold on to the unwieldy apparatus.
And then there are lug nuts like those on my Jeep. There’s a decorative covering on an ordinary nut, which takes a 19mm socket, also the same as emergency wrench that came with car. When that comes off - and it will, you need and 18mm socket. Arghh!

I recall a newspaper photograph I saw once. The girl was wearing a bathing suit cut very similar to this. But completely backless.
She was wearing a maxi skirt (this was back in the '60s) and yourHER hair was long enough that it covered up the strap going around her neck.
The newspaper showed her from the back and from the front. Said that people who saw her from the back withWOULD almost break a leg trying to get up to her and and around her so they could see the front.
I'm assuming that girl in the top picture is wearing a similar outfit.
Okaaay, it’s still a great way to start any day!

That photo is from the Korean War -
"A member of 3rd Battalion, the Royal Australian Regiment (3RAR), displays the Sniperscope which is attached to a .30 calibre Carbine. The scope is battery operated and the battery is carried in the pack on his back".
Oh I know what it is, I’m just amused by the lack of the photographer’s effort in at least simulating a darker environment.

...... I believe that there is a lot more truth in this cartoon than most of us want to believe ......
About 20 years ago our city water utility did just that - bottled the water they sent to our taps and marketed it. Once that was exposed, the business folded immediately. Not that it was a big secret - just stupid.

Is Vegemite similar to Spam - where the last production run was maybe 1962 - and they’re still trying to draw down the supply?

When I was in Boy Scouts where learning knot tying was important, my Navy vet dad did that from memory. He was just killing time while we fumbled with sheet bends. I had never seen rope spliced like that before. Not sure that I have since. Also not sure I could do it with a YouTube video!

The caption is bogus, but it’s a fun meme anyway. found this on the net:
“That's a German Shepherd wearing a vest with his name written on it.....and the bird is a seagull. It is painting of Comb Ridge in Utah. Not the inspiration, Chuck Jones came right out and said it was not.”

When did the Brits stop using d to denote pence/pennies? These days 6 pence is abbreviated to 6p.

I was four when we changed over to dollars and cents Abilene, but pounds were (£), shillings (s) and pence (d).
Interesting. I thought they used to use the same nomenclature as the Brits - p for pennies/pence.

Looks like that could be hail, which hurts when you’re mostly nekkid! It also means lightning is nearby, which also hurts. Thinkin’ I’d be wanting out of the pool instead of holding onto a metal pole!⚡️
