But now my life revolves around the "Magic Roundabout".  Britain loves producing bowel clenching junctions of complexity.

Things like that aren't complicated if you just treat them as individual roundabouts. All the rules are the same.

MissMarple posted:But now my life revolves around the "Magic Roundabout". All those cars are going the wrong way too! Aaaaaaaaa! But seriously, is that five small rotaries around a big one? It scares me to think about how the drivers where I grew up would handle that. There was a simple, four-way rotary down the street from my house when I was growing up, and tourists, usually Massachusetts drivers, would never yield on the outside of the goddamn thing. It really is simple if you're following the rules, but that's just not cool enough for some drivers.

Railing Kill posted:All those cars are going the wrong way too! Aaaaaaaaa! Yes, is it. And because of that, the traffic on the central one goes in the opposite direction to all the others.  The first time I used I had no idea what to do, which wasn't helped by all the locals just zipping across it as if it was nothing.

That's lucky they have that fifth road there to keep it from being straight up a swastika.

  loving lost it at "fut". I don't know about anywhere else, but where I'm from, it's another word for fart.     Signs: Easy to start, hard to finish.

My favorite thing about dementia is that you will end up having no musical discretion whatsoever later in life. You'll start off being all "I only listen to Johnny Cash and John Denver" and then mom will call you up one day and whoops it sounds like grandpa is listening to gangster rap and acid jazz or some poo poo.

Bloody Hedgehog posted:It's not too hard. I punted a goose once when it came after my niece. It was fine afterword, but it definitely kept it's distance then. I love animals but if I knew I was terminally ill and there would be no repercussions, I would absolutely kick any Canada Geese that messed with me in the rear end. Probably not a full blown field goal kick but still pretty good. That is the most bullshit protected species on the planet, full stop.
