Random Thoughts...or...What's on Your Mind?

Yesterday my mom found a pigeon in her garden, it was ringed so it belongs to someone. A few minutes on Google we found and contacted the owner, apparently he is quite famous and won a several pigeon races.

But it seemed that someone stole the pigeon and removed the phone number of the owner, but the ring number was still there and the year was still visible and thanks to a pigeon database we found on Google we found the owner. The pigeon was weakened but the owner reassured us that with the proper medicines it will make a full recovery within a week, eat shit dirty pigeon thief!
 
My double maths teacher could’ve definitely been a successful youtuber of the early-mid 2010s. I’m rewatching taskmaster and he also eerily reminds me of Ivo Graham.
 
How do you handle a tailgater? Sped up to 40 in a 25 and this guy sped up too! It wasn’t like these were wide open roads either. There were cars in front of me. Then to top it all off, he got into the oncoming lane and ran a red light because no one was going fast enough. for him.
 
When I have a tailgater on a motorway outside lane I change lanes so they can overtake and get them as far away from me as possible. Only a fool breaks the two second rule and I let fools get on with it on a fast road.

I rarely use the fast lane and prefer to stick to the inside lane and a steady 60-65 mph.

The ones that crack me up is when it’s early in the morning, late at night, etc., and you’re practically the only other vehicle on the road… yet the idiot drives themselves bonkers tailgating you.

That’s when @auntiehill ’s advice is perfect and just… satisfying. Especially when you’re driving a Jeep Wrangler like me. Let’s face it, a brick is more aerodynamic. Lol.

Besides, it’s Hawaii — no need to go fast in Paradise.

how about employing a tailgunner?

I used to visit some friends in another city. Fastest way to get there was -- I don't know what it's called because you can go freeway speeds but it's not a freeway because there are connecting residential streets, commercial zones on the side and the occasional intersection light -- but I hated driving home at night because it's dark (street lights are spread far far far apart) and winding, and usually only two cars going my direction -- me and my tailgater. So I would often speed during the section with only one lane if there was one vehicle behind me no matter how far back, and once it split into two lanes I could slow down.

Or just tap on the brakes for a brief second. That should send a message.

I mean, don't do it for long enough that they slam right into you, of course. Just tap long enough to make your intent known.

If this makes them mad? Fuck 'em. :shrug:

For a wedding reception, what should the ratio of slow to fast songs be? Most sites seem to think 8 fast songs for every 1 slow song. Another site said there should be more slow songs the older the guests are.
 
^ it depends on the couple. An older couple, or a couple with with a lot of older friends and relatives, would probably want or need more slower songs, while a young couple in their 20s would probably want 9 or 10 fast songs for every slow one.

The DJ has to adjust according to every couple, so meeting face to face is really important.

In terms of programming for a wedding the DJ usually plays popular and upbeat music to get everyone on the dancefloor and keep them there and the slow dance music like Move Closer by Phyllis Nelson etc comes at the end of the set. By then people have partnered up and can indulge in some bum grabbing to close out the night. If a DJ plays a slow song at the wrong time it can clear the dancefloor and it's near impossible to get them back no matter how much Jackson Five they play.

Make sure the DJ specialises in weddings and isn't going to play genres that might not go down well with the audience like gangster rap or very fast dance music. I recall an episode of Judge Judy where a bride sued the DJ for playing highly inappropriate music full of profanity but the DJ's advert specified this and that he was an experimental DJ so I think she lost the case as she had got what she paid for.
