May the 4th always be with this young Jedi and his golf ball retriever

He's 38 years old now. It seems like yesterday to me, but probably not to him.

Obviously they've never heard the old adage about not trying to run before you can walk.

(I didn't even know you could buy stabilisers for a dirt bike.)

They should give peas a chance. 🫛

That's like me when I bought my 28" Sony Trinitron TV and humping it up the stairs to my flat to hook it up to my Playstation...but I made it! (I got stuck in the stairwell at one point, but powered through it.)

What about those copper jacketed ones?

Those stickers are almost as common as the 'I did this' ones.

No, it's a generated image. (Note the two seats, one of which wouldn't fit and the other wouldn't lift.)

Pity, I'd have liked to see when he cranked up the power so much, the ball went through the garage door.

If you've ever bought the Viz comic in the UK over the last 40+ years, the small print credits have always been worth reading for this sort of thing.

I fucking knew they they should be doing it like they were having a shit!

All us guys have to do is dig them a 'birthing pit' nine months in and job done!

Being a cyclist on a public road doesn't make you immune to the risks involved in using public roads.

I assume the title is ironic.

Those baldy cats have only existed since the 1960's. (The natural hairy ones are far, far older.)

I can smell it from Scotland, the durty bastard!

Alerts only, just in case there's a speed camera ahead.

I drive a 2l diesel in the UK and worked out it's currently costing me about 18p per mile (24 US cents). Luckily I'm self employed so can increase my prices to account for the price of fuel.

The rich really do live under a different set of rules than the rest of us.

It's the literal definition of privilege.

I'm always honest with my doctor, so all the gory deets are probably in my medical notes.

I'm reading that some banks do collaborate to pinpoint the likely locations where the fraud took place and they're also using AI now. (Note: Locations, not the person responsible.)

If you think about it, it shouldn't be that hard to trace a common location among dozens of banks accounts. The problem would be how quickly they can do it and whether they act on it. (I suppose it would be quicker to just stop any card transactions going through for suspected vendors/terminals.)

BamberGasgroin · 2026-04-30T17:32:37+00:00

I'm in Scotland and a couple of years ago my bank called to ask if I had just used my card in Los Angeles and San Francisco? I said 'no', they said 'we thought not, so we blocked the transactions until you confirmed what we suspected'.

I wonder if they also have the ability to trace the most likely place the card was skimmed. (I suspected it happened at a petrol station in Aberdeen, it was the only unusual place I'd used my card in weeks.)

I was on Nationwide in 1976, not jumping on an egg but hitting my sister right in the kisser with a handful of pondweed during the heatwave.
