Why does it hurt when I pee?

I remember excitedly buying the Thieves Like Us 12'' before I'd heard it on the radio. But when I listened to it, I thought 'WTF is this rubbish?" Never liked it, thought it was substandard to everything they'd done to date. They redeemed themselves with Low-Life, which was by far their best work.

I can't believe that ICB didn't even make the list and Bizarre Love Triangle and Thieves Like Us were Top 10. Travesty.

It'd be rude not to.

What was REALLY in the letter from King Charles to Trump 😱🤣😱

Bless her! She's such a cutie. My two boys (Gherkin and Pickle) send her their love

Is it Trump's plan to crash the American state in totality so he can declare an Emergency and suspend the constitution to rule via Executive Order alone?

Chappers was a total stalwart.

I think this season is turning into a write-off because of all the injuries we've had.

Unlikely, unless you tone down your rhetoric and policies to appeal to the centre ground, but in an age where social media amplifies the extreme, it's hard to get the traction because your message doesn't cut through.

...a bad thing, but Reform also used racist dog whistles to suck some left wing support away from Labour. In a FPTP system, setting up a party like this only benefits your opposition unless you can get an overwhelming momentum behind you and co-opt the bulk of the party you are trying to supplant.

All Reform UK (funded by dark Russian money and supported by Musk, who used borrowed Russian money to buy Twitter) has done is split the right wing vote, thus enabling the largest Labour majority in nearly 30 years and potentially locking the country into 10/15 of Labour rule - not necessarily...

Just enjoy that's it's in black and white, so you can't see the yellow stains on her fingers and that it's not Smell-o-vision, so you can't smell the stale smoke on her clothes and breath.

At current exchange rates, 210k rubles is around £1530 per month. That's about £9.80 ph. UK minimum wage is £11.44 ph.

Absolutely, and knowing what your red lines are and where you are prepared to compromise a little. After all, no one is perfect, but that doesn't mean they have to be a prat about it.

You deserve better.

Saw them earlier this year in London. They were still awesome despite Dave being unwell.

Come on you super Seagulls! #bhafc

I was in a big departmental meeting and we had a Kahoot quiz, hosted by our European head of function. The winner was someone called Mike Hunt.

My earliest Doctor Who memory is watching Planet of the Daleks when it was on telly

Once you've played HL1, you should watch 'Freeman's Mind' on youtube...

You've already started the journey :)

It is, but for the newbie. The community is very supportive and there is a lot of help out there. I only need to use the console rarely now, for a single app that sometimes needs manually updating, though it's been a while since I needed to. Openoffice is also a very capable alternative to Office365

You're very welcome :)

Should be fine. You can download any Linux distro onto a usb stick and run it live to try it out, make sure all the hardware works
