“Interesting” is one possible description. “Utter w4nk” is another.

Must… whatever.

Anyone interested in the JFK assassination should read “I Heard You Paint Houses”, the book that the film The Irishman is based on. The usual critical thinking is required, it is just a man’s story after all, but it definitely provides “makes you think” moments.

Speccing a new Mac for my music hobby and finding the arbitrary “to the nearest £ 100” jumps in price when increasing storage and memory hard to accept.

I sold a guitar on Facebook once. Was back and forth with the guy and agreed a price a fair bit lower than what I listed at. He then drove over from West Brom with £ 10 less than that agreed price, and got the arse when I wouldn’t accept this new, un-agreed price on principle. He rang his missus who supposedly transferred the extra tenner to my account (she hadn’t). Took about an hour to get him out my house, and then he was messaging and ringing for weeks after saying he would pay the extra tenner if I drove the guitar over to him. Never again….

Errr, of course?

A British citizen was killed by Russian state sanctioned violence at the World Cup. This is nothing new.

Unfortunately, a lot of people are just flat out stupid and therefore easily manipulated. On top of that, technology has made it very easy to manipulate the easily manipulated en masse.

I remember seeing Stephen Fry presenting an award for Zero Dark Thirty and he started with something like “having not seen any of the previous 29 films in the Zero Dark franchise…”

We will lose.

Thought I’d just seen one the news a statement had been made about unwavering support for Ukraine?

Wow…

Standard slabs being 5mm wider than the track of a standard wheelie bin.

Agreed. I always break it in half. Easier to combine with the sauce, easier to eat, easier to cook without a specific spaghetti pan. People who don’t break spaghetti are losers.
