Questions you'd like answering, regardless of how trivial they may seem

I beg to differ, there is a big difference between a meal you‘ve made from scratch from fresh produce out of your garden and a Big Mac

That’s the thing about civilised discourse - people can disagree without resorting to blows.
While I recognise that there is a difference between garden produce and Big Macs, too much of either will do you no good. How much would be ‘too much’ depends on the individual.
Fun fact: drink too much water over too short a period and you could kill yourself.

I think I know the answer, but........ has anyone been into space and never returned?
Expanding this, I think Russia sent various animals into space (maybe US did as well?) - I don't think the animals were returned to Earth, and if so, how did 'mission control' monitor the effects of space travel (if that was the purpose)?
If the unfortunate animals never returned to Earth, and are now millions of miles away, will an Alien race find them and think "crikey, how did they make and fly this?" ..... said in an alien voice/language of course

Laika the cosmonaut dog came back, & NASA sent 2 monkeys up that came back, but 1 died soon after iirc

Not publicly anyway.

Two up there at the moment, who haven’t returned.

Why is it that when you stay in a hotel abroad, the entertainment team is called the animation team?

All which wasn't previously made clear. Whilst it's your duty to report unregistered, untaxed, non compliant vehicles, if you believe thats so, its not expected to blame shame people that do so, thats a matter for the authorities,
As you wrote, the outcome is as posted

They're not happy! It looks like a private company are being employed to stop them parking where they shouldn't do, like disabled bays, mother and child bays and the zebra crossing where some even park!

In case you don't know it's because that's what animation ( just pronounce it frenchly) means.

I'm not a fan of boxing, but something came to me last night as my mind was wandering. Do any of you know why boxers who spar, usually in preparation for a forthcoming fight, wear those head guards leaving their face partially exposed and their nose fully exposed? My thoughts are if they get their nose broken then that forthcoming fight will have to be postponed. Why don't they wear nose guards like footballers and rugby players who've recently suffered broken noses do, I wonder? 🤔

Most hits in boxing don't land directly on the face.

Footballers and rugby players wear masks when their noses or cheekbones are already broken.

The size of the glove and the design of the head guard would stop it connecting with the nose
