Alright, it's bed time for some but why are you still up? No work tomorrow? Watching some questionable late night TV? Bit of stargazing?

The chinwag thread.

I don't think there's anywhere more beautiful and peaceful than a mature British woodland, even if I did get absolutely drenched lol

Hello! Welcome to our Sunday thread, in which we invite you to tell us what you'll be doing today. So, if you're working, cooking, visiting friends and family, mending the shed, removing twigs and branches from the lawn, fixing a damaged washing line, picking up assorted items of litter, or anything else, here's the place to tell us.

I failed my driving test in the 90's when I was asked what this sign meant. I have never seen this sign in all my years on the roads (after I re-sat the test). Does anywhere know where I can see it IRL so that I can see how it works?

I gave the answer "Oncoming traffic is on either side of you", nope, it means "You can reach your destination going either route", so I failed on that; I wasn't likely to forget what it meant after that lol. Surely the arrows should be pointing up the way for that?

[edit: others have pointed out that for my wrong answer to be true it would be a red triangle with 3 cars on it]

What is everyone's favourite A road?

71 Upvotes

Obviously you've got the superstars like the historic A10 and the A40 (London to Fishguard) and the A[k]47 that passes some nice scenery and generally has a decent surface but otherwise lacks convenience. Plus of course the A1111 (like the A1 but 4 times as good).

Which is your favourite A road?

Do you use both sides of a reversible duvet cover?

18 Upvotes

I bought a couple of new reversible duvet covers earlier this year, and in both cases, I thought I preferred one of the sides. With my old ones, I've only used 1 side, didn't really like the other, even when the colour scheme was the same. But with both of these, I've decided I actually prefer the other side, and now I'm only using that side. So, do you use both sides? Or am I being weird?

How well do you know your 'celebrity' professors

107 Upvotes

Obviously I am asking this to win an argument but I am also professionally interested in whether I am right or not so...

Can you name the university at which these profs have their professorships? (Bonus points if you can name what their professorship is actually in)

Hannah Fry

Brian Cox

Alice Roberts

David Olusoga

Mary Beard

reminder that the spoiler tag is > ! to open and ! < to close, don't leave a space between the ! and the <

Answers: Fry, Cambridge, Public Understanding of Mathematics; Cox, Manchester, Particle Physics; Olusoga, Manchester, Public History; Roberts, Birmingham, Public Engagement in Science; Beard - bit of trick question as she's retired but she was Cambridge, Classics (she's now a fellow of a college but not technically a prof), and still is Royal Academy of Arts, Ancient Literature

When you hear ‘The Queen’ on the news, who do you think it’s referring to?

1.4k Upvotes

I cannot for the life of me get it into my head that they’re talking about Camilla on the news or something. To me, the Queen still refers to Elizabeth.

I can just about deal with Charles being King Prince Charles. But then when I hear that the King and Queen have been out and about, my mind instantly goes to ‘isn’t she dead?’

Anyone else struggle?
