The toilets/restrooms at restaurants (or at least many fastfood restaurants?) are often shared and used by both employees and customers. It grossed me out a bit a bit at first, especially as they are, in my experience, quite often pretty filthy. So all the nastiness customers drag in could potentially be picked up by employees.

I’ve been to BKs and Wendys’ where I left the establishment as soon as I entered, just because the whole place looked and smelled like somewhere you shouldn’t eat. I suppose these were more often than not in pretty rural areas…

While on the toilet topic, I’ve found public restrooms at e.g. gas stations and shopping malls to often be, uh, less than inviting. I think I’ve seen more overflowing toilets on a 4 week vacation in the US than I’ve seen in 40 years over here, in northwest Europe.

To be fair, I’ve driven east/west at least 10 times over the years, so I’ve been to a lot of public restrooms and the bad experiences tend to stay with you for longer than the good ones.

Spectacled and spectacular.

He’s hopelessly optimistic… I wish I could shake some sense into him.

Oh yeah, I agree, it’s not a good excus. I guess I just find it a tiny bit silly that McLaren are even bringing this up. Yes, it’s a point taken away from Lando, a point that could end up mattering come end of season. But, it’s also just one point. If some other team had squeezed in a fastets lap it more than likely wouldn’t have been mentioned.

And, I really don’t find it completely implausible that Racing Bulls’ primary motivation was to send Ricciardo off with a fastest lap attached to his stats, although I’m sure they considered how it would be a nice gesture to RB, as well.

If McLaren had a sister team they would of course never have done such a thing. Absolutely not.

Having Danny go out with a fastest lap is a valid excuse, if it even is an excuse. He’s a likeable dude and it’s not unthinkable they just wanted to send him off with something in the bag.

Its’ face reminds me of that of a dog…

Sniff really is the worst kind of “friend”, isn’t he… Moomin doesn’t stand a chance in life, hangin’ around him.

He said he needed a partner… I bet he’s his about to get Moomin involved in far more serious crime than picking flowers.

Haha, I love it…

Oh, I was betting on them just giving up - “fuck it, we tried, let’s take the rest of year off guys…”.

This story is quite the thriller…

It seemed almost inconceivable that they would simply forget it, so yeah, this explains it.

I didn’t see that coming!

Ear bud hat…

I’m close to 50, and it feels like every year of my life (except for maybe a couple years in the early 90s) Russia has pulled stunts like this, in what I can only guess are silly attempts at displaying strength.

Well, the cat got outta the bag on that one, Russia, as soon as you went to war with a country that carried more than rifles.

That was my immediate thought as well, they’ll either give him a bath and it turns out he smells fantastic, or they’ll find a beneficial use for his smell, like keeping mosquitos away…

The eyelashes, oh my, so adorable…

He’s young, naive and thinks the world’s a fair and just place. Soon he’ll learn that it’s not winner takes all, but biggest douche takes all.

If that happens, who will get boot; Fernando or Lance? I wonder, I wonder…
