To be honest, I thought these would sell quicker…

Those from Norfolk also have names for the other 5 (sometimes 6) toes on each foot...

Ah, that's why Americans use the microwave to boil water for a mug of tea; they're paranoid their government might think they're plotting overturn Teaxit after 250 years and rejoin the commonwealth...

I've worked for a couple of managers like that; they'd ask me to improve a way of working, or how to implement a new process etc, then they'd get it written up as the standard operating procedure. At least one manager has progressed to national management and still asks me for help.

SPECTACULAR 🧵

So many incredible choices. 👏🏻

Dear Virginia,
You were named after an English queen.
You gained freedom from an English King.
You have the support of an English nation.

Nigel Farage wants to replace our NHS
with a US-style privatised healthcare system
which treats the superrich
bankrupts the well-off
leaves the rest of us to die ...

John Peel's Röövel Ööbik - Mamma Mia YouTube video by John Peel

Here's a cover of an ABBA song for this thread, YouTube algorithm suggested it after I posted a clip about John Peel, and again, I'm glad it did.

I'm going to have to do a bit of digging to see if I can get hold of any their material

I bought a Camper Van Beethoven album back in the 1980s, purely because I was intrigued by their name...
Glad I did!

How many would have used it as an excuse to cancel further gigs...

Reminds of the joke from the 1970s (probably from before that); why don't women fart? Because they can't shut up long enough to build up the required pressure.

When you say second date, do you mean the fruit, or the act of going out for a film/show/meal together?

The fess, or the fart?

The more you fart, the better you feel, so have Heinz beans for every meal...

John Peel's Views - Prog Rock YouTube video by John Peel

Well, you do have a history of collecting speeding tickets..

Well, they get plenty of practice slashing budgets...

If the past really is a foreign country I’m surprised so many right-wingers want to live there.

If I played Captain Beefheart or anything not mainstream, I'd be the number one taxi driver for my friend's daughter; she knows I like stuff like that. If I played Barbie Girl I'd lose that job immediately

When my friend's daughter was growing up, she admonished me by saying it wasn't my job to embarrass her.
I replied, true, it's a perk!

1) drinks are on me.
2) terminal
3) not the faintest idea

Or as Private Eye would say; "We refer you to the reply given in the case of Arkell v. Pressdram"
