It may be just a UK thing but I find Tesla drivers the least aggressive of all expensive car drivers. If I see a Range Rover, Mercedes, Audi, BMW or any large pick-up in my rear view mirror I expect to be aggressively tailgated and I'm

rollingstone.com is powered by 'Wordpress.com VIP' so is maybe not a great advert for this service? You do, however, find a lot of big business sites fail hugely on things like pagespeed and CLS for the simple reason that they are

'A single parent working three jobs just to cover rent and food works hard.' Is this a reality though? I was desperate for work many years ago and all the part-time jobs were optimized for a specific time of the day - say 10 am to

It could be considered a natural instinct to do this? I once encountered a guy who was thinking of jumping off a bridge and I said a lot of stupid but well meaning things in an attempt to dissuade him. It got to the point where I realized e

The current script runs something like this, assuming you can get past the first hurdle of actually speaking to someone... 1) I am very sorry to hear of these problems and I will do everything I can to get the issue resolved for you.. 2) Pl

A friend of mine lives with a girlfriend who doesn't like him, mocks and criticizes him at every opportunity and, without a doubt, would dump him the second a better opportunity presented itself. She is unemployed, obviously, with no o

I used to work in construction and was lucky enough to find an escape route before my body eventually gave in to the daily punishment. The toll wasn't just physical either, after working hectic long hours, day in day out, constant trav

Since driving a taxi isn't hard work he should just do 'epic' ten hour shifts every day.

Thanks for the insight. I was robbed in Spain and the only thing of real value they got was my passport. Since you need ID to buy a sim card I just assumed there would be a huge market for stolen identity documents.

Stolen ID in Spain is rampant, it may be just a coincidence though?

Govt id is required to purchase a sim card in many EU countries. If the UK Govt decided to implement such a policy based on something like 'security' there wouldn't be a lot of push-back. Let's overlook the fact that suc

Well I became homeless when my landlord decided he needed to sell up and gave me notice to leave (much more than legally required, I should add). He eventually sold the house at auction for a sum 3 times smaller than I currently have sittin

'And of course not all homeless people are the same.' Although obvious, it's not something one hears that often. There is a perception here in the UK that a homeless person is someone who sits on a corner begging all day. Iro
