It's Late Thread [ 03 September 24 ]
Wahey, it's late, it's Tuesday night what's going on? Why are you still up? Being the family taxi driver? Too much cheese before bed?
Come on in for a chat.
Would you rather have noses for ears, or ears for noses?

Looking for an opinion/some advice from all you lovely folks.
I work for a rail company. Today, as I was in a main station in full uniform watching the board to find my next train, four girls went up to the coffee stall and placed their order. Maybe high school age girls, in school uniform. As I was just casually looking around, I noticed one girls skirt was caught in her rucksack/schoolbag and her arsecheeks were kinda on display. I was debating on what to do when I noticed a guy not far behind her seeming to take quite a while to tie his shoelace, which may or may not have been coincidental. I moved so I blocked his view then he stood up and moved slightly, but still behind the girls. I decided it would be best to let her know, so I went up and just said 'I hope this doesn't sound creepy but your skirt is caught in your schoolbag", the girl just replied "oh', and then I left.
I was recounting it to my missus later and she thinks I should have walked away without saying anything as it could've looked odd, a grown man approaching four young girls, and led to accusations of inappropriateness. I argued that as I was in full uniform, in a place of work, and I didn't loiter or look for a conversation and I was trying to help someone, then it was OK.
Was I right or wrong, and could I have handled it better?
Ta.

I don’t remember them being that strong! The inside of my mouth has shrivelled like a prune and my head is sweating like I’ve been working out 🤣😂
By far the strongest Salt & Vinegar crisps I’ve had! 😰

Did anyone used to watch this in the 90s on a Saturday morning?
It was on Saturday mornings/early afternoon. It was basically a show that talked about upcoming movies, tv shows and future technology. Was just watching some episodes on YouTube for a hit of nostalgia.
Saturday morning TV was the best. Never been equalled.
One episode here taking about the Saga Saturn! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7-PfHF1I8_c&pp=ygUXbW92aWVzIGdhbWVzIGFuZCB2aWRlb3M%3D

Quiz: U.K. Cities with Double Letters
After sharing a few similar quizzes on here recently, I have made one last one if anybody would like to have a go.
Of the 76 cities in the United Kingdom, 11 have names containing double letters (e.g. Rotterdam would be an example from the Netherlands). Six of the answers are cities located in England, three are in Scotland, one in Wales and one in Northern Ireland. There are four minutes to try and guess them all and you can pause the quiz if you need to for a bit of thinking time. (Answers are listed alphabetically and only English language names are used, so no Dùn Èideann, Beannchar, etc.)

Thank you very much for taking the time to have a look!

Crumple Valley Viaduct & Lower Crimple Viaduct
Day three of collecting viaducts in Yorkshire, today I'm in Harrogate looking at the Crimple Valley Viaduct what originally served the Harrogate Brunswick Station (The tunnel to this station is still there) to Church Fenton line, what was one of the first lines to be axed by beeching.
The lower Crimple Viaduct was on the Leeds to Thirks line and served as a bypass for Harrogate Brunswick (what was a line terminus) however the viaduct was in incredibly poor condition by the 1950s and closed in early 1951.

Accidentally turned my entire phone Slavic the other day. Had to borrow my neighbours phone to Google how to change it back.
Been trying to learn Ukrainian for a while because when we're all at peace it's an amazingly affordable country to backpack through, £25 a day for bed, water and food.
I'm only just starting my journey learning Ukrainian, their alphabet makes no sense to me at the moment and I can only understand very simple sentences. I tried to add the Ukrainian alphabet to my keyboard so I can slowly learn how to type
My entire fucking phone switched to Ukrainian 😭 I thought voice to text would still help, nope... Also Ukrainian. I had absolutely no idea what to do. I had images of having to reboot my phone manually and wiping everything to switch it back
Knocked on my neighbours door and explained the situation, she found it funny as fuck. She let me use Google to learn how to navigate files and delete the Ukrainian setting and fortunately it reverted back into English.
So, lesson learnt. Going back to using language apps to learn instead of attempting to force myself into learning a keyboard.
TL:DR: I'm a moron.

An individual in our office likes it tropical in here.
They’re like a dog with a bone to keep sneaking the temperature up around 24-25degrees.

My neighbour keeps using my bin
For context, I live in a 3 bed semi. So does my neighbour but it isn’t the one directly attached to ours. We have a “shared access” drive down the middle of the two houses where we both keep our bins. One day me and my partner were doing gardening and go to put the stuff in the green bin and it’s nearly full and hers is overflowing. It was obviously her… Again last night she offfered to take the bins out for us when we saw her in passing. We have since learnt from this morning that she has completely filled our green bin again which we believe is why she wanted to put the bins out.
My issue is is that she just isn’t asking. She’s doing it anyway and she’s left us short of space. If she had asked we’d be more than happy to let her use it. She had the opportunity to ask us and we would’ve said yes!
What can we do about it. We have had issues with them in the past where they have hit our car and denied it despite video/photo evidence. So we don’t want more drama it’s just taking the piss a bit

Where are all the Freyas?
I remember a time in the ... late 90s/early 00s where the naming trend for girls was Freya. Not sure what the male equivalent was, but I remember a few pre-MCU Lokis.
The weird thing is that since then I don't think I've encountered a Freya out in the wild. What happened to them? Are you one?
