I was getting something from the sliding rear door of my van a few weeks ago. Some driver, being courteous in their own mind, bipped the horn while going past startled me causing me to hit my head and fall back into the road being only a fraction of a second from him rolling over my head with his back wheel.
Chris Morris is a legend. I love Matt Berry but Morris is legitimately one of the most influential figures in British comedy.
Not disagreeing that Linehan has some awful opinions and that has leached out into a couple of his writings. But, the theater episode, at no point, makes the fact that people are gay the butt of the joke it’s the main characters that are terrible people in that episode, particularly Roy.
It’s like getting upset that Father Ted is racist for the episode that specifically makes racists the target of the joke.
He once made a tweet that vaguely criticised a Conservative figure. wOkE aGeNdA KiLLs AgAIn

Lol, I made no judgement about the use of the word, merely giving the etymology. I’m sorry you misinterpreted me as defending xenophobia.
From the Greek xeno meaning strange.
The word comes from the Latin alius meaning other
The moral high grounding of liberal minded people is one of the reasons right wing populists are gaining ground globally. Rather than slamming the Guardian for not always aligning 100% with your views, why not see if the content of the actual article is worth your fury.
Where can I get Kielecki in the UK? I have no Polski sklep near me. Love majonez but was disappointed to discover that Winiary is owned by Nestle.
The case is with the Criminal Cases Review Commission and if they find there is significant evidence that an appeal could be granted it will be referred back to the court of appeal, as it should.
Unqualified, random bloggers online are not capable of assessing the evidence sufficiently and therefore should keep their sensationalised bullshit to themselves.
What is the point of having this called Marathon. It has exactly zero in common with the original games. Looks completely different, plays completely different, setting is completely different, storyline seemingly completely irrelevant, plus I’d wager the number of people who fondly remember the original and are also interested in playing a knock off extraction shooter on PS5 is pretty close to zero.
I mean, this whole thing happened before Musk was even born, but the point still stands. Divide and rule.
Even though I bought the expansion and haven’t even played a single second of it yet (factorio burn out is real). It’s still the cheapest game I’ve ever legally acquired in terms of £/s
Really really well. Haven’t encountered a single game that didn’t run flawlessly.
One of my all time favourite movie watching experiences was me and my brother watching Robocop (the original) which we taped off ITV, must have been 9 or 10.
All the gratuitous violence was still entirely in place, but all the swear words were dubbed into more palatable versions. Strangest was that we specifically recorded it when it aired at about midnight anyway so way past the time the swearing was usually considered OK.
Me and my brother still call each other “buddy funkster” all the time.
No, you’re just reducing both your speed until it reaches a safe point for them to be that close behind you.
The greatest movie review of all time is Roger Ebert’s review of Pearl Harbor:
“Pearl Harbor” is a two-hour movie squeezed into three hours, about how on Dec. 7, 1941, the Japanese staged a surprise attack on an American love triangle. Its centerpiece is 40 minutes of redundant special effects, surrounded by a love story of stunning banality. The film has been directed without grace, vision, or originality, and although you may walk out quoting lines of dialog, it will not be because you admire them.
The idea is called Hypernormalisation. Everyone knows what they’re being told is a lie, most don’t care, some do but a powerless to do anything about it, the rest are actively perpetuating the lie.
Excellent documentary about it by Adam Curtis which is watchable here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Gr7T07WfIhM
RADAR was one of those inventions that they thought was completely revolutionary, and it was, but was far less “unique” than the creators originally believed.
The large air and naval search arrays all over southern England had been spotted by the Germans even before the war and they accurately worked out what they were for and reverse engineered them purely from reconnaissance photographs.
The special thing about the RAF at the time was that they’d managed to make units small enough to fit on board planed which was the big advantage they hid as being carrots.
Funny story, so convinced were the British that the concept of RADAR couldn’t have been copied by Germany that when they surveyed the Graf Spee while in dock at Montevideo, with the RADAR antennas, identical to those on British and American ships clearly visible they still didn’t believe the Germans could develop the technology.
As someone who just spent the last 30 years in a huge galaxy spanning war to try and seize Terminal Egress from a 7 strong federation and then had a 10x Unbidden appear in Fen Habbanis that produced 85% of my alloys crippling my ability to fight them off for 20 years. I second this recommendation.
