Absolute legend, thank you. I’ll check them out.

Fuck me, that’s horrendous.
I’m not really a WW2 buff beyond the key turning points of the war, but can someone point me in the direction of some good starting points for this sort of purge-style activity - as in not “Google WW2 hurrr”?
I feel it’s something I really should know about but I don’t.
It looks like a pepperoni pizza that was stored on its end.
Coffee shops are fantastic. My other half doesn’t get why I go out to buy a coffee that I could easily make in the house for next to fuck all, but it was never about the coffee - it was about being out of the house and watching the world go by. There’s a coffee shop in a hotel that overlooks the thoroughfare between one of my local city’s biggest shopping centres and it’s rail station, and it’s nice just wasting an hour or two watching people go about their lives.
The cost of the coffee is just a warmth and comfort tax really for sitting there.
Good effort, that’s a decent shape to be in. 10k runs are my “thing” but as my march into middle age progresses, I find I can’t do them back-to-back any more, I’m needing more than a day or two to recover.
Maybe go for something a little more varied - I’m training for (but never done) local triathlons. Great way to build physical fitness with only a third of the high impact on the joints. The major limiting factor will be the pool of course, unless you’re fortunate to own (or have unrestricted access to) a pool.
Random turn of conversation direction, are you creative at all? Crocheting seems to make the world go by at an alarming rate - it’s both a time killer and very rewarding.
Unfortunately, this would be gender and/or location dependent. Great advice for daylight hours, but the society we currently live in makes it perhaps less viable for women in certain areas or countries, or even in general if it’s a particularly socially deprived area.
Absolutely on board with the exercise thing though. I’ve taken to trying to waste time on an exercise bike - even an inexpensive one, or a normal bike mounted on a turbo trainer. I’m not expecting anyone to bang in speeds and times like Lance Armstrong on some special supplements, but a slow spin for longer periods of time is great fun… just get a good wide comfortable saddle!
I hate that about disability assessments run by those Capita bastards. The whole “well you got here okay so you can’t struggle with mobility”.
No you fucking arsewomble, it’s just threatening the means to purchase the basics and essentials is worth the physical agony it causes going to your human zoo and jumping through your arbitrary hoops, you daft walking talking fannyflap.
I hate making it personal but I can’t see how anyone would voluntarily stick at a job like that.
Yes.
It’s not that we’re particularly fucked financially, we’re doing enough to keep our heads well clear of the water, but we’re not wealthy by any means and either parents have helped us by stumping up an initial outlay on something, and we’ve paid them back.
Is it me that finds it weird signing off her own tweets with her name, when her username is literally right there?
It’s just a shame the (presumably US-based) healthcare system is a clusterfuck, because that bit of expensive paper with a diagnosis on it would likely open up a whole host of avenues for exploration of the condition.
I couldn’t tell you about that firm, always willing to try new beers mind!
I know their headline grabbing antics are particularly bad, but having lived on their home patch for a wee while, they’re not particularly well regarded as local neighbours either.
I know the following is absolutely subjective, but their beers are… alright? I wouldn’t say no to one but I’ve neither the stomach not the wallet to go on the piss purely on Brewdog beers. Their food is lovely too but you almost have to speak with your mortgage adviser first to see if it’s a bright idea.
I can’t remember the last time I voluntarily went to Brewdog or bought a few of their tinnies either, outside of meeting there for a work’s do or going there because visitors wanted to.
I have never known a company go from being “super cool” to “super prone to making themselves look like fannies” in such a short space of time. It’s almost impressive.
The waste is a fair point - storage isn’t a long term solution but then I suppose it can be managed in the interim, not like the effects of climate change.
I’m not seeing your point of “nukes” though?
Nightdive’s track record is stellar in fairness.
I’ve still got my PS1 copy of PO’ed and it hasn’t aged well at all. I think the world was still clamouring for new and inventive Doom-clones at the time that people were willing to forgive clunky gameplay and unbalanced weapons, but this remaster will do it a whole load of favours.
Disruptor is another mediocre game that springs to mind, but was well received because it was the best-of-the-rest in what we now know to be first person shooters. That would be a cool remaster too - perhaps even Lifeforce Tenka, or even Sentient if they were feeling brave.
Poundland Bear Grylls strikes again.
I mean, an LD govt would be pretty mint, but I don’t think I’ve honestly ever thought of what an LD opposition would look like.
Maybe we’ll find out.
Yeah I should have known better really.
Bet’s off:
£10 says we’ll be in double figures of Tories being investigated by polling day.
Two grand says that day will be July 4th.
Shock horror: a fucking idiot who build his persona on a foundation of being loud, obnoxious, and a bit of a twat turns out to be loud, obnoxious, and a bit of a twat.
Oh, and a nonce too.
Try electrical engineering! All you need is a socket and a fork!
Fantastic idea, thank you. I work out of some old airfields from time to time so no doubt they’ll be a great source of information. Cheers for the advice.
