>Near the tip of the nozzle is a small hole, and a small pipe leads back from the hole into the handle. Suction is applied to this pipe using a Venturi. When the tank is not full, air is being drawn through the hole by the vacuum, and the air flows easily. When gasoline in the tank rises high enough to block the hole, a mechanical linkage in the handle senses the change in suction and flips the nozzle off.

That little tidbit made my day, I fucking love mechanical systems.

DID YOU CATCH THIS GEM?

I wonder how informed about this the average forecourt worker is. Could a band of environmentalists shut down a petrol station for a considerable amount of time with just a few tiny balls of blu-tac or tape? (or whatever wouldn't quickly be melted by the residual petrol)

>>69657

I very much enjoyed this, also. much appreciated.

Most likely, it refers to Carnegie Mellon University.

>>69573
Almost. It refers to Andrew W Mellon, of the Mellon family whose institute merged with Carnegie's to form Carnegie Mellon University.

>>69574

Or that. I was not aware of Carnegie Mellon's history. But as we have now established, Ibrahim isn't a botanist.

>>69575
Pomologist.

It clearly says "mellon", not 'melon'. He's saying "friend professor".

>>69561
Didn't say anything about telling you what not to do though.

SHE WANTS TO GET THAT FACE RASH LOOKED AT. LOOKS WELL RANK.

Typical Scots.

How did she get Slimer's ectoplasm all around her mouth?

Preferred her earlier work.

I think the natural variation from fanny to fanny outweighs the deviation of smoking and non-smoking on the same fanny.

in a controlled double blind test, I don't think you could reliably tell smoker fanny from non-smoker fanny.

>>69546
I bet you'd be able to whiff smoke before you even tasted anything.

>>69544
My piss smells and tastes distinct when I smoke regularly.

>>69542
I went down on a chain smoking woman, and her fanny wasn't particularly unpleasant. Kissing was another matter, like kissing an ash tray. Luckily I was also a smoker at this time, and had no issue with the taste of stale fags.

>>69553
Guess she didn't either.

>>69550
There is something very doleful about a double-decker. If they were a dog, they wouldn't bark but just lick you to death.

>>69520
Anotherlad here, but yeah, even 10 years leaves a huge culture gap between people nowadays, I'm in my mid 30s and have yet to come across a lass in their 20s who isn't over some sort of issue, and more importantly, has the same sort of cultural relations or framework that I grew up with. After dating and a couple of shags, there's nothing in common left. Makes me wonder about all these guys in their 60s who go get a Thai bride who rinse them of their money, apart from the occasional shag, what do they get? You wouldn't be able to chat with them about the Bay City Rollers being fucked over by their boss, or pit closures, or freddos being a marker for inflation.

Fucking alpaca cunt evading justice for 4 years. Should've capped the twat immediately. No sympathy.

>even 10 years leaves a huge culture gap between people nowadays

Play up to it. For young women with absent fathers, going out with a man who has a vinyl collection and knows how to do woodwork is basically a protracted roleplay scenario. Pretending to be young and cool looks completely pathetic, but being mature and self-assured goes down a treat.

>>69521
>HAVE YET TO COME ACROSS A LASS IN THEIR 20S WHO ISN'T OVER SOME SORT OF ISSUE

There is a whole industry around telling people in their 20's that they have some sort of issue. Learning to ignore it is part of the challenge of being an adult.

>>69523

You're not wrong, in that women seek out older men usually for their maturity, for the fact that they have their shit together, and that they are just a lot more secure in their own personality. And, well, let's not kid ourselves, also a bit because as a middle-aged man, you tend to be more financially stable than in your 20s. A crippling divorce that will leave some men almost penniless notwithstanding.

What I can say about life in your 40s is that you have come to accept yourself, and you no longer try to be somebody just to fit in or please people around you. You feel like you are what you are, and whoever doesn't like it can go sod themselves.

On the other hand, being 40 and trying to act 25 is just sad, and it also isn't what a certain kind of woman who is into older blokes is looking for. They don't want a manchild who refuses to grow up. And why shag a 40 year old who is pretending to be 25, when you can shag an actual strapping 25-year-old lad in the first place. That isn't to say that some residual youthfulness at 40 won't go a long way. If you are 40 and you are fat, bald, grey and just worn out by life, then trying to get the attention of 25 year olds will be a losing proposition. But if you keep in good nick, watch your weight and get your exercise, then that's definitely a plus.

I'm still not sure I would go that route. Ten or fifteen years age difference, as >>69521 lad said, means there is going to be a huge cultural gap between you, and I am not sure how you would bridge it. It's not just that a 25 year old will have no concept of your favourite Britpop bands from back in the day. The whole way of thinking is bound to be vastly different in ways you can't even imagine while casually fantasizing about bonking a younglass.

It is normal, and you're right. It is the most over-rated drug. It's useful for two things - if you're feeling very drunk, a quick line and you get right back to normal, secondly, it makes everyone talk, particularly women.

>>69477

I USED TO THINK COKE WAS OVER-RATED TOO, BUT THEN I REALISED THAT AS YOU GET OLDER, THOSE TWO SPECIFIC QUALITIES ARE EXACTLY WHAT'S SO GOOD ABOUT IT. I HAVE NOTICED THAT PEOPLE TEND TO GET MUCH MORE INTROVERTED AND RESERVED AS THEY AGE, NOT TO MENTION YOUR TOLERANCE FOR LONG DRINKING SESSIONS STARTS TO WANE, SO WHAT WAS ONCE OVER-RATED BECOMES A LEGITIMATE WONDER DRUG.

FOR ONLY £60 AND THE MORAL WEIGHT OF KNOWING YOU'RE A DIRTY DRUG PUSHER, YOU CAN TAKE YOUR GROUP OF MID-30S WORK MATES OUT, PASS A BAG AROUND, AND SHOW THEM THE KIND OF NIGHT OUT THEY HAVEN'T HAD SINCE THEIR FIRST YEAR OF UNI.

I LOVE DRUGS ME.

Are you basing that on the fact he used to be called Fagottron or something else?

>>69440
It's to have a good time.

>>69449
> I’m going to be totally straight up with you… I came up with Fagottron because I’ve always had a very thorough dislike of homosexuals

Yes, basically. He's undeniably in terms of his musical ability, but I don't think I'd ever want to meet the guy.

>>69451

I don't know anything about this bloke other than these videos that have been posted, but if his music is mostly based on sampling fucking disney princesses, then I think he doth protest too much.

>>69434

>>69435
He's checking for weapons. You never know where these naked ladies might be hiding them.

SHE'S TOP TIER VIRTUE SIGNAL
BEATS THAT HAIRY FANNIED BREXIT MENTALIST THOUGH

>>69434
Why has she got a sticker on her smallpox scar?

>>69447

Dunno. Can't imagine she's vain or anything.

I don't think there is any point now that we are not all necessarily on our doorsteps at the same time due to not being confined to our homes.

>>69333
It's dormant, but it's like a volcano ready to erupt.

>>69335
This comment being immediately above the vorderthread on /*/ is very fitting.

I'll clap when Boris is gone.

>>69332
I never did like the "clap for carers" thing. Covid is bad enough but now they're supposed to deal with gonorrhoea as well?
