Fucking *wild* reaction to "i didn't like not being able to see people"

VERY COOL PERSON: It's four-twenty, you know what that means?

ME: Hell yeah! [starts shoving blackbirds into a pie]

I would *love* to hear about what possessed a lifelong Civil Servant to move to one of the more contentious areas during the Troubles, to run a pub legitimately

As someone who grew up as a nationalist in the north, i get the exact same vibe seeing tricolours or 4 provinces flags on lamposts down here as i ever did seeing the union jack on them back home

The thing that gets me particularly about the British situation is that there's a whole industry broadcasting that black is white, and to disagree is Radicalism, before one of the lads, years later, might go Hang on, this black is very pale, isn't it? And then everybody will have *always* known that

ITS IN SPEARHEAD FROM SPACE, PEOPLE!!!

Having my finger on the pulse of it, I finally got round to watching The Giggle, and how is Russel T Davis a big enough Doctor Who nerd to do a callback to a one-off character like Mavik Chen, but whiff on the name of the planet where people communicate with their eyebrows?

Do...do you think *that* was the problem people had with the last season? Not everything else?

ME: [wincing, covering up Starmer's ears] sorry, do you mind not talking about politics around Keir? He doesn't know about scary things like nuclear war or poverty or Peter Mandelson and we'd like to maintain his innocence for a bit longer

KEIR: my father was a drill bit

ME: that's right Keir!

I will never get used to his voice lol

Now now, their political editor didn't become journalist of the year by revealing sources!!

Oh he'll be there to take the hit for local election wipe they're about to face

When i think of an EiC who'll have my back, i think of the guy who immediately backed down when a crotchety old fash said an interview made him look like a crochety old fash, and duly never rocked the boat again!!

Every single day it happens lol, albeit not usually to this scale

As a nation, i don't think we're anywhere near ready enough for what happens when the Americans find out what a cream doughnut is here, the fact it isn't round might cause them to drop a moab on Athlone

Like i remember the absolute bullshit fearmongering at the time of IndyRef about how Scotland won't get in the EU, given how history has played out since, i think the Scottish people are well within their rights to have a second go

an underrated, unforgivable belief that remains prevalent among pols and normies is that a rising tide lifts all boats when it’s been clear forever that a rising tide simply drowns the people on low lying land

It 100% happened, absolutely, and its so cool that, patriotically, nobody is asking any followup questions about it

Holy Diver was playing the whole time!!

Remember how that US fighter pilot got shot down just doing a friendly plane wave in Iran and crawled up a mountain with two broken legs under a hail of bullets and the marines came in and they celebrated Easter mass and escaped...and there's been zero on this ever since?

This place just fucking sucks to use, but the alternative is Mastodon, where my timeline is nothing but one person i used to really respect talking about how good a tool ChatGPT is

Call me a pedant but I really think if BBC is going to make this inflammatory stuff headline news for two days (and counting) they ought to have a bit more evidence than this, and since they don’t you have to wonder what the purpose is of trumpeting it all over the place 5/

Still searching for that unicorn (a friend to go to the pub for football games with, who doesn't have a 'cheeky acca')

Puggys never did it for me, but my first job was in a pub and they had a Who Wants to be a Millionaire quiz machine which took more of my wages than it really should have

Honestly being intimidated by "what the fuck am i meant to actually write on this slip, i lack the arcane knowledge" was super effective at preventing me from Gamblor's neon claws

Any excuse to post the great philosophical moment of our time

"on the road with Farage" is certainly very chummy, isn't it

Insisting that This Is The Greatest Economy Ever, You Pleb, You Buffon, worked wonders for the US democrat outriders in 2024
