Not any mo...

@Doctor-Phibes said in Staying classy at Carnegie-Mellon: Harold Wilson is already dead, and nobody in America would have a clue who he was anyway He had a bit part in the Beatles tune Tax Man.

@Doctor-Phibes I have no direct experience with that particular make and model. It was the cheapest one I saw on Amazon. They all typically will work just fine for most vehicles. They are not 100% comprehensive diagnostics, that typically requires much more expensive units, but they will catch a lot of fault codes including the "gas cap not installed properly" code. It can also erase any codes it is capable of reading, which turns off the Check Engine light. If the condition persists after an "Erase Codes" it will just trip the same code again. But at least you have an idea of what's going on with your car.

If I heard the sportscaller correctly, that catch bought the Bucs a first down. EDIT to Correct: "However, the one-handed touchdown catch by the Bucs’ Mike Evan from a perfect pass by his QB is surely one for the highlights reel for at least a week to come."

@Catseye3 we had a horse who was an off-the-track thoroughbred. His “barn name” was Gulliver. His registered name was “Finance Time.”

That child needs some new parents.

Oh during the jousting event they had a portion that yelled "long live the king!" which was weird to hear.

Presumably, Wetherspoons is still selling beer.

In Ron Kessler's book, he tells the story of a president (or VEEP) never carrying any money. Whenever he'd go into a store, he'd hit up the Secret Service guys for some cash to buy something. He never paid them back.

Let’s just hope he doesn’t try to get them drunk on the veranda and shag them

@George-K said in In Los Angeles: She says two firearms were stolen, despite them being ‘safely and securely stored.’ She says nothing else was stolen from her home, despite cash, electronics, and other valuables being visible. The RWEC noticed this. Kind of unusual to have all these goodies out in plain sight, and the only things stolen were two guns - which were presumably locked in a safe location (as the law requires). What was that location, and was is broken into? I was thinking the exact same thing when you posted this first time. Quite strange I think.

Actually, I think that when they were writing the US constitution, the person who was translating it to paper mis-wrote. Instead of the right to BEAR arms, the original writers meant to say that there was a right to BARE arms. And how history has changed due to that one misspelling. LOL

"While it is true that the United States Constitution does not permit any citizen to hold a title of nobility “from any King, Prince, or Foreign State” under Article 1, Section 9, Clause 8, that doesn’t prevent anyone . . . from holding an “honorary” title. Indeed, honorary knighthood is not full knighthood but an award presented on behalf of the Sovereign to any non-Commonwealth citizen whose work has benefitted the United Kingdom. "Several Presidents have been knighted by the Queen, including George H.W. Bush and Ronald Reagan, but Eisenhower has received honors from Her Majesty twice (technically three times). In 1947, he was honored as a WWII military leader as a Knight Grand Cross of the Most Honourable Order of Bath and the Order of Merit. As President of the United States, he was honored again with the GCB in 1957." https://anglotopia.net/british-history/ten-americans-with-honorary-british-knighthoods/
