On topic I always thought it was something that fell out of favor? I remember there was a period where everyone had one of those handheld massaging shower heads but I have not seen a bathroom with a new one for at least a decade. |

A lot of people have hoses in their showers in the US. I suppose it's still not considered 'normal' here. In my house we have a fixed shower head and a switchable shower hose thing. I also did all the plumbing myself, so the shower head is very high up, cuz I'm kinda tall.

The only one which turns up from time to time is the NIVA, because it's quite a capable 4x4, so some people hung on to them. That or farmers who tend to keep every car they've ever owned, because storage space is more or less free. |

I had a lada for 5 years in the 90's, only problem was when I left the lights on & the battery went flat so my own fault. Cost 3,333 pounds (about $5,000) brand new, sold it back to Russia for 1,600 pounds (about $2,400) & replaced it with a citroen BX = BIG mistake, it was a right heap of bilge..

Does the term "Scag" mean the same thing as it does on this side of the border. Here it means a not-too-desirable young lady.

The only 'scag' I've heard of are the brilliant US country singer Ricky Skaggs & Boz Scaggs. We use 'skank' or skanky' to mean a not so clean or innocent girl. Another name for not so pretty girls is 'munter' some of my ex-girlfriends were munters, lol. A word I use for when I don't feel on top form is 'grob' i.e. "I woke up feeling a bit grob this morning." A word I use for talk/talking is 'yabber' or 'yabbering.' I sunburned my head while yabbering to the bloke across the road, BTW this is true, lol...

By the way this time of year really brings the worms out of the woodwork, among them a lot of ricers and scoot jockeys. The noise really grinds my gears. There's also a Trans Am around here that's so loud I mistook it for one of those huge late-model redneck pickups at first. Whoever drives the thing must burn a lot of gas in this area, constantly coming and going and revving the thing. Last edited by Jon A.; 06-24-2018 at 12:56 PM. |

Love 'ricer' & 'scoot jokey' bloke up the road sits there revving his old noisy car & those names would fit him... I've got light skin, light blue eyes & blondish hair, I burn at the first sign of sun & use factor 50 sunscreen... Buses here go to & from the local town centre every 15 mins in the day & 30 mins in the evening, from there they have buses, trains & trams to the city's of Nottingham & Derby & other towns. I still use my car if I can though as it's quicker & I don't like waiting at bus/tram stops...

If you get one, post a lot of photos, I'd especially like to see the engine. I was tempted by a NIVA once, but when I read that maintenance involves manually tightening the timing chain in the tractor derived engine every 20,000km I got quite turned off.
