Should potholing be banned?

You'll only drive it underground.

I can't stop thinking about how right this is. Like when I was looking through each picture I wasn't just thinking "that feels right" but more "yes I know." As if I was remembering each one as I saw them

I love how it kind of implies that the real world 90s Columbo wasn't in the main canon, like a Never Say Never Again situation

You're lucky if that's all you ended up with. Often, especially with cans, you get a bang and then a freezer full of beer slush

Btw this is the first time I've been tempted to repost every single part of a thread. His explanations for each one are BRILLIANT. Read the whole thing

we all know I have no life, so:

Definitely. Nobody's writing a review on TripAdvisor saying the hotel had "victorian plumbing" and meaning it as a compliment

Everyone involved in Genghis Khan's funeral was killed by soldiers, who were then killed elsewhere, then those soldiers killed themselves in a third location, just to make sure the location was forgotten. They could have just done the funeral while putting a lucozade in the freezer

Induce guaranteed amnesia by putting a drink in the freezer just for a few minutes to cool down

Proper behaviour

Oh wow there was a time when people actually checked barometers. Always kind of assumed they were just part of grandparents' compulsory wall furniture, like horse brasses

Classic holiday scrape from the Pepto Bismol diarrhea man

Came here to say the same thing - it looks like Brazil-sky is where it's at. Big time

I think it looks great. Like bright highlights around my face. My experience: it took "a year to the ear" ie the grow-out took a year to hang around my ears. In less than two years I cut off the dye and had a nice bob

For anyone who might be in the same boat: deciding to grow out the hair dye and embrace my grey areas a couple of years ago is a decision I do not regret

Oo, mix of both - the active memory holds the picture.
I can't win the game though; I keep getting stalemate

Hello Richard, it's been ages!
Ha ha, well it was a nice lamp

A conjoined banana.

Two bananas inside the same skin.

Double banana! First time ever!

Thousands of Parisians evacuated as WW2 bomb detonated in situ Residents within a 450m radius of the device were told to leave their homes while it was neutralised.

Hmm, the BBC article conspicuously doesn't say where the bomb came from. A shame as it would be a useful educational opportunity, to explain what was happening at the time

Relationship type options: French Open, Hard Court, You Cannot Be Serious

Ceilidhs are brilliant

First thing I thought when I read the guy's profile. Strong swipe left

Nice lumbar support but the white cushions really showed stains

I'm really contorting my brain to put myself in the headspace of someone who would respond positively to that, and I can only imagine an ultra competitive woman who left her previous boyfriend because he walked too slowly

Weirdly I've never seen that! Are you sure you've not toggled the "all tennis fans" option? I'm hoping their profiles are full of tennis puns like "looking for love (tennis term), hope it's a (game set and) match!, let's (Margaret) Court!"

This is why I'm often very cautious about people who want me to be outdoorsy. They rarely take real joy in it. A masochistic slog, like the countryside is an outdoor gym, or they're on some sort of military exercise.

Like even if it weren't for the recent news stories, I think that requirement would still rub me up the wrong way. I'm imagining him looking at his Strava stats and telling me to hurry up while I'm looking at the view from Helvellyn

Honestly saw this seconds after swiping left on a man's hinge profile after reading: "looking for someone who has stamina on hikes"
