Yep, I'd ended up on the site after this story about randy turtles[^] was shared elsewhere.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

I liked
"We have a zero tolerance approach to drugs, guns and any like behaviour."
Yeah because pubs that have anything other than a zero tolerance to guns are not pubs, they are Saloons.

You've obviously not frequented some of the same pubs I used to then...

I give you the 11 worst things in the world ever[^].
#11 is particularly awful and don't scroll down that far if you are eating and/or drinking. If you d get to #11, I recommend you start drinking heavily to remove the thought.
Enjoy!
Especially #11!

I like #7. But I don't understand what #8 is about.
The good thing about pessimism is, that you are always either right or pleasently surprised.

I've had nights like that shown in #7 - but I always used a screwdriver rather than a knife and the handle prevented that failure. But not the wine redecorating the ceiling... 
Number 8 is easy to fix: There's an app for that[^]

Because you don't have any sock puppet accounts?
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Basically the red triangle-ish thing (looks like part of the manufacturer's sticker) is a plastic widget called a plectrum. It's used to pluck the strings, and pretty hard to remove (I'd assume) if dropped in the sound hole.

Unstring the guitar and reach in the hole?

but first i would try the following pattern:
"Shaken, not stirred"

Sounds like that'd work. Never played guitar, do the strings stretch if they are used more than once?

Good question, hence my "?"

Not that much, and the tuning screws are there to adjust the tension of the string.

That a UK English thing, or is that the proper name? Only ever called it a "pick".

Plectrum appears in Wikipedia, as does guitar pick. Perhaps plectrum is a formal name for it, could well be a Britishism? I do know it is normally abbreviated to "plec".

If I'm reading that right, a pick is a specific type of plectrum. A pick is always a plectrum, a plectrum is not always a pick. Mystery solved.

It's called a "pick" and it's a trivial exercise to remove. Turn the guitar upside down, shake. Out falls pick. Continue playing.
