I’ve always wondered who collects the magazines which include a part in each edition to build something, I’ve just seen a magazine advertised where you can build the titanic, 140 issues at £9.99 each except for issue 1 which is £1.99.

A crazy amount of money!

Thanks... although, if i were 20 years old now.... i would NOT be planning to spend that amount of time wasting my life earning for others to get rich.

I would be working much less, stressing much less and making the most of our brief stay here much more.

And in that time you’ve always used the same broom… how many different handles are you up to now?

Ordered a French Connection mac jacket off ASOS, having had a FC Harrington jacket previously off there. Ordered it in large and I can barely get my fvckin arms in, it’s like an XS latex body suit  

 

Im probably of fairly average build, usually between a medium and a large, and the Harrington fits fine as a medium (if not slightly tight zipped up). Genuinely can’t work out if they’ve drastically decreased the sized or got the labels mixed up on a small or extra small.

Has anyone been on a thread before and it just been a whole list of posts from ignored users?

 

Think it won’t be long until that happens with the Covid thread, just been on and half the page is ignored. I don’t even think I ignored most of them for Covid posts, obviously cranks just have bad opinions across the board.

Why are mens and womens shoe sizes different?

if a  shoe is  nongendered ... why is it a womens 9 but a mens 7?

On a similar note: why are men's clothes buttons on the right and womens on the left.

Though I always wondered if it was to aid familarality when undressing each other.

This vaguely reminds me of the Aussie comedian Steve Hughes being told that wearing an earring in his right ear meant being gay (in the UK). 

 

The routine that followed it is well worth watching.
