There is a old video on youtube, some guy wash his hands in a urinal at the Roskilde festival.
He cant be a local, and the camera crew are also dutch as i recall.

Typical Dutch that, yeah I could see that....

I like the name of the thing above the toilet seat - the Shattle.

Wouldn't that have to be the "S h i t t l e" then?

Well, it says Shattle in the photo which seems a reference to "Shuttle".

"Shattle" must mean the past tense.

In the summer i ran over a already ran over deer, i totally lost it but did see several stopped cars ASO, but i just compacted the thing.

HUGE embarrassment for me.

Many years ago I was hot-rodding a bit and as I entered a right-hand turn at about 80mph there was a deer in the exact middle of the road. If I turned to more to the right the deer, who was pointing towards the right was likely to step in front of me and that would be it. I did a quick jink left then right and managed to ALMOST miss it. I wound up just barely grazing the backside of the deer doing no damage to the car and I somehow managed to avoid going off the road to the outside. Definitely a pucker moment!

Wish I'd seen this sign before the incident!

Some times even the most outrageous fantasy come true, i am still waiting for the warp drive, even if " prediction " say it will be invented after WW3.

Is there such a thing today ?

We Danes use to have emergency phones every 500 M or so along motorways, but they went the way of the do do in the 90tise as i recall.
Beaches ASO do have a pole with a number on it, you can use when you use your smartphone calling for help
Of Course if you are in Denmark and call for the police, well tough luck if its not a person with a knife or gun bothering you.

You know the uP side of the shifter board?
If a shifter goes missing you still have the one you need!
That board does my head in but for some reason love it.

A regular wrench is generally called a fastnøgle ( fixed key ) but some will also call it a star / fork key ( stjerne / gaffel nøgle )
You also get these with 2 different forks, or 2 different size " stars " in the ends, but no " special " name for them as far as i know.

Funny thing though a hammer wrench we almost call the same we just call it a slagnøgle ( strike key ) but you do mostly strike things with a hammer.

The crowfoot wrench we agree 100 % on, I have seen them but TBH i can not recall ever having used one.

Same with oil filter wrench, though here we do not call it a wrench / key, we call it oliefilter tang or Oil filter pliers

Just took in some of the good stuff, you know learning thru the screen.
Watched the PBS 2 part DOKU from 2021 called Driving While Black, so now i wised up a little more on American history, never knew about the negro motorist green book, and i got a little refreshed on the 1956 federal highways act, and the unfortunate result it had for many a small mom and pop store.
