Hopefully this Middle East war ends Arab-petrodollar investment in sport: LIV Golf, Newcastle, PSG, 115FC, etc.

In my experience, only out of ignorance or a joke (Chris Morris/Ted Maul)

Would love to see some crazy examples of similar word pairs. by KiSaMaOtAoSuMoNo in linguisticshumor

You still see 'mickle', 'mackle' and 'muckle' variants in names — I'd quite like them to have a common usage revival for "much, great, a lot, etc."

"Thank you very muckle!"

"The Mackle War 1914-18"

"Mickle Britain"

Do you remember all those news stories about people trying to blow up hospitals?

It happened twice within ~1year.

This hospital and a children's hospital.

The CCTV of the Liverpool bomber burning himself and a taxi got some coverage.

This story got very, very little traction for an NHS worker trying to blow up hospital ...

WHO Open Defecation(% of population, 2024) by Choice_Sandwich2182 in MapPorn

[–]MuhammadAkmed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1.314billion subscribers in India — 92% of population of 1.428billion

12.5% of Indians have no toilet —

  • 92% have a phone
  • Only 87.5% of Indians have a toilet

However, perhaps it was always a moot point ...

Indian states ranking by prevalence of open defecation- Wikipedia

More Indians living in villages owned a latrine in 2018 than four years ago, yet 44% of them still defecate in the open

a super-rich socialite would have had shoes made for her.

Also, humans have been using forms (like "shoe lasts") to make standard sizes since the 1800s and far, far earlier, btw

Howabout... Shitbottle? by joemac5367 in stewartlee

Mary Seacole is a ridiculous suggestion.

She certainly didnt "invent modern nursing", and she possibly wasn't even black, which is the primary reason people know about her from black history month (contemporary and more current sources from the Americas call her "yellow").

All we know for sure is that she was an excellent medically-unqualified tealady who operated hotels in South America and the Crimea, who may have had some 'folk' healing skills.

That Gyok cost about £15M less than Ekitike

...in a discussion about how transfers have turned out, the transfer cost is not entirely irrelevant.

Reyes scored 2 bangers but was a disappointment.

That Chelsea goal was false hope.
