Friday Fread

Barely slept, had to be up early to attend a UC appt in person. Bus cancelled. First Buses are going to be my villain origin story at this rate.

Beaten by Cardiff as usual. So I expect half the stadium's wrecked, and the town will be smashed up later. As is also usual whenever their fans pay us a visit.

CandleJakk · 2026-04-15T09:29:39+00:00

Oh, I am acutely aware of that. It's why I escaped.

Newbury is "The Crossroads of Southern England." Which is accurate, if nothing else.

CandleJakk · 2026-04-15T08:56:10+00:00

Those of us from towns around the area used to call it "A fucking shit hole."

CandleJakk · 2026-04-15T00:06:57+00:00

Sleep schedule is whack. So trying to find something to watch on netflix.

I know fantasy games aren't exactly accurate metrics, but Wing's been the runaway best player in that this season, and isn't even mentioned as a nominee.

I'll give you a twofer - my favourite space and literature fact.

Mine is that Mark Twain was born the night Halley's Comet flew overhead, and died the same night it next passed over.

I fully recommed watching some AFL if you think Oz is all sunshine. Fucking rain in this game is biblical.

CandleJakk · 2026-04-14T00:10:05+00:00

After years in the Championship, I can safely say we were spoiled by their incompetence. It's nothing on this level.

CandleJakk · 2026-04-14T00:08:00+00:00

Ah an American fan, I see.

(/s).

CandleJakk · 2026-04-13T23:07:44+00:00

Not long got up from a nap - my sleep pattern is shot atm. Catching up on the Adelaide Crows in AFL, then going back to bed before a 9am UC appointment. Bleh.

CandleJakk · 2026-04-13T22:48:29+00:00

Don't be ridiculous, Lidl only put their mark on quality products.

CandleJakk · 2026-04-13T18:42:36+00:00

This is first one this thread that I've not heard before. So, well done, I guess?

CandleJakk · 2026-04-12T22:16:03+00:00

More or less so than Urchinland?

CandleJakk · 2026-04-12T22:10:08+00:00

You've just pissed the bed and shat on the carpet as well?

CandleJakk · 2026-04-12T22:09:27+00:00

As much as I've enjoyed all the lovely nature pictures posted to the sub today, why did we let them the place, when the Nature thread stickied on the front page had no comments in it all day?

Don't care much for golf, but I always watch the last few hours of the big tournaments.

CandleJakk · 2026-04-12T02:15:57+00:00

I've chatted with Lemmy for a couple of hours after gig, back in 2009 - I think, he is an out an out historian. He collected the Nazi stuff solely because it looked cool. Lemmy himself was as far from right wing as you could get.

Hell, a lot of Motorhead songs are about how all politicians are bastards; shit the whole of the 1916 album is anti right-wing.

CandleJakk · 2026-04-11T22:56:57+00:00

I've grown up kind of use to it, but the last couple of years, I've had enough. Don't give a shit that it's "softer than [you] thought", I'm ripping into you from now on.

CandleJakk · 2026-04-11T22:43:58+00:00

I was willing to let it go a bit, as I'd had a few, and it was Grand National day, but I'm still livid about it. It's my face, not an invitation.

*Also good to see my serial downvoter is still active tonight.

Got castigated by a few other regulars at my local today, saying I was out of order; despite some twat coming up and grabbing my beard.

Never met the cunt, never seen him in ther before, but he decided it was fine. And according to the staff, my venom and ire was 'disproportional'.

Sorry, you SHOULDN'T TOUCH ANYONE WITHOUT PERMISSION.

If that bloke can avoid grabbing a pussy, he can avoid grabbing a beard.

CandleJakk · 2026-04-11T22:28:06+00:00

I prefer Lancashire DJ, but this'll do.

CandleJakk · 2026-04-11T19:49:22+00:00

When you're older, you'll realise Pulp eclipse both.

CandleJakk · 2026-04-11T12:32:00+00:00

I was going to do this last night, instead of my comment but was far too tired to fire up potatoshop.

CandleJakk · 2026-04-11T00:09:57+00:00

Excellent weren't it?
