Over on Reddit loads of comments about MGW being a donkey being cut faster than a Stalin purge

Oh my god indeed

I still hold a huge grudge at the ref in the 1991 FA Cup Final who went on vibes, not laws, and didn't send the criminal Gazza off.

Anyway, all's well that ends well and as a Forest fan, I'm delighted at Spurs being crapper than us.

My (Brighton fan) son has been shouting exactly this at the telly until next goal

Almost feel sorry for Spurs.

Then I remember the 1991 FA Cup Final and that feeling dissipates very fast

The East West divide is very much overlooked: the Pennine spine is very much a divider.

Interesting about the Danelaw: cf: Welsh / Geordie miners; Dutch drainers and many more.

I'd agree. There is a marked change of accent in Notts, and the legacy economic structure of the county (and arguably, the city) makes it much more of a Northern place than Southern.

(This handily makes me living, as I do right by the Trent, a border-dweller).

Oh, Forest!

(The 'Oh' in this case is not the usual 'Oh, ffs' but 'Oh, thank Clough that's over, I need a lie down before even contemplating what happens next)

Enjoy your night in Beeston. A sleep here has remarkable rejuvenating properties.

Stabbed an armadillo with a pencil

Oh god yes. Thing was, I think it was marketed as a family film, not a gore classic. I remember it being on cereal packets, washing powder and so on. That's like putting The Human Centipede on a pack of Warburton Crumpets

I watched Jaws ridiculously young. Because fish based decapitation and dismemberment is fine.

The scene where Dreyfus is being dragged down the sinking boat left a scar only bettered by the window scene in Salem's Lot

Three movie deal + novelisation all in the works

Today I'm going to be fretting all day about someone catching on their dashcam the moment I, en route to the station and deep in thoughts concerning snails, walked into a lamppost with a loud clang.

If you have this footage, I'm willing to spend good money suppressing it

Viz 355

That's an excellent photo and possible metaphor

a group of cartoon characters are standing next to each other in a restaurant . ALT: a group of cartoon characters are standing next to each other in a restaurant .

Won't anyone think of the influencers?

(apparently this has been thought of before so I've either unconsciously remembered it and regurgitated or it's an obvious joke)

Or we could collectively as a species pretend that there HAS been a nuclear war and all dressed up as monkeys when they return

We might be on the brink of a nuclear war BUT we have a bunch of astronauts about to disappear behind the moon for some time so the potential for a cracking science fiction story is immense

If Paddington had stayed hidden for just a little longer he would have ended up being called Temple Meads and into trip-hop rather than marmalade

That was exacerbated by Orbital's set having a screen with John Major's face with a black cross flashing over it.

It was actually technically correct: he'd opened up a leadership contest with John Redwood, if my (admittedly very unreliable) Festival memory is correct

He Has Risen

He Has Stepped On A Lego One Of The Kids Has Left On The Bedroom Floor

He Has Unrisen

And this gives me an opportunity to remind the world that Edwin Starr spent the last few decades of his life in Beeston.

I vaguely remember a comedian on TV in the eighties- Saturday Night Live?- standing deadpan in front of a photo like this for an uncomfortable amount of time before saying "Bought some new jeans yesterday"

Bought on an asthma attack, I laughed so much, while my family looked on bemused.

Incredible light here today

Interior of a MASSIVE chippy.

I don't like to brag, but there is not a single person on this app that is in a larger chippy than I am in right now.
