CENTER INDICATORS!!!

When I'm at certain mini roundabouts – and certain crossroads, I always feel that center indicators would be seriously handy!! – Just to indicate to the person directly opposite to me at the crossroad or mini roundabout my intention, to drive straight ahead.

Anybody? Just me?

yeah - pretty good idea. or people should indicate with their eyes , like if they are going ahead their eyes should point straight ahead .... failing that a hand gesture to tell other users you are going straight ahead ...

No no. He doesn't want to chop it.

He just heard about a big carrot and wants to stick it up his bum

I feel like whoever invented that, the carrot one the bannana one, the apple one etc. Might have missed a much earlier invention called the knife.....

beards - like this:

I mean beards are pretty useless as it is ... men dont really need beards at the end of the day , its not a necessity its not like their face needs warming up - we (men) have hair under our armpits and testicles for a reason ... but faces? - nah , not needed .... and then some men go silly and grow a beard like the one above ...

Neck ties. A big long piece of material knotted in a slip knot around the neck purely for decorative purposes. A scarf is handy. Most of the tie is hidden by collars and jackets. A bit of nuisance in the heat as well.
