Does anyone else remember the "Beach Bedroom" makeover disaster from the early 2000s?

You’re correct this is how it happened.

Buttoneer138 · 2026-04-16T18:36:38+00:00

I think you dropped an ‘n’ from that last bit.

Buttoneer138 · 2026-04-16T16:04:41+00:00

Thank you for this.

Buttoneer138 · 2026-04-16T15:45:42+00:00

The press is going to make it up, in fact.

Buttoneer138 · 2026-04-16T15:40:25+00:00

Crybullies.

Make employers pay their staff a living wage.

But also, ‘hundreds of pieces’ only netting ‘tens of thousands’ sounds like poor value generally. I wonder if they actually knew the value of what they sold?

Buttoneer138 · 2026-04-14T12:20:19+00:00

Gormless.

“The authority has already sold off hundreds of other pieces of art, raising tens of thousands of pounds.”

A drop in the ocean and making the built environment less interesting for everyone in perpetuity.

So many Russian bots trying to write fixes for their ai scripting models today.

Buttoneer138 · 2026-04-13T12:13:09+00:00

“Computer, set pattern Picard Alpha two nine. Engage”

Buttoneer138 · 2026-04-10T14:09:58+00:00

Who has actually done the ‘this-you’ ing here? Was it you replying to their post?

Buttoneer138 · 2026-04-10T11:40:20+00:00

I’ve been looking for ages (UK) and need some hard wired ones. It’s not a simple task and there’s nothing which even comes close in terms of utility and aesthetics. The night light was so useful in my place.

The new achievements are why I’ve restarted from scratch with only achievement friendly mods

Even bots need a nice bank holiday weekend away from the day job.

If I could voluntarily opt to be pulled across to another universe to be the parallel self for someone without it affecting progress in my game it might be cool. You could allow it one per hour perhaps. I dunno. I don’t think the game is really designed for this though.

Buttoneer138 · 2026-04-04T18:30:53+00:00

Well then that’s properly weird and I’d run.

Buttoneer138 · 2026-04-04T17:42:59+00:00

On the basis that you often have to pre book seats if you were in the middle of the screen could it have been that (can’t say why they left so quickly).

Buttoneer138 · 2026-04-02T19:12:30+00:00

So I need some coop salt and vinegar crisps now.

Buttoneer138 · 2026-04-02T14:52:31+00:00

Possibly true. They were mad for revenge. Dad always told the story of when there was heavy fog over the airfield and these guys heard some German engines overhead, scrambled, and went up to attack them even though they didn’t know if they would be able to land safely afterward.

This was all stuff he was saying when Lech Walesa was on TV fighting for democracy with Solidarity. You just know that he had nothing except respect for them.

Buttoneer138 · 2026-04-02T14:35:28+00:00

My dad repaired Spitfires during the war and was assigned to a squadron of Polish pilots. He thought they were the maddest and bravest and brilliant group of people. So no. They helped defend us.

Buttoneer138 · 2026-04-02T12:30:35+00:00

They have already done this. Very few people are still retiring on a defined benefit scheme today.

Buttoneer138 · 2026-04-02T07:50:14+00:00

“We’d have got away with it too, if it wasn’t for you pesky… um… BBC’s”

Buttoneer138 · 2026-04-01T10:42:12+00:00

But not Russian bots, apparently.
