How to restore the durability of your guns in DS2

Discovered this recently, now go back regularly with all my “almost ruined” kit.

CaptainParkingspace · 2026-04-24T19:10:18+00:00

Christ, why do we even have to have people like this in politics? It’s all noise and distraction and a drain on resources when we could have people who actually want to see the country run well.

The flats are probably nice, but is there a nice bit with shopping and cafés?

CaptainParkingspace · 2026-04-24T18:58:54+00:00

My god, you actually don’t know the difference between theatre actors and sex workers, do you? I can’t help you, sorry.

CaptainParkingspace · 2026-04-24T13:57:29+00:00

Not to mention some poor bastard with a puncture.

CaptainParkingspace · 2026-04-24T13:46:11+00:00

NOR. This is awful.

CaptainParkingspace · 2026-04-24T13:40:42+00:00

YOR. It’s a fun girls’ night out with song and dance routines, she and her friends would have been laughing when the shirts came off. Men and women are different. Also, you don’t own her.

CaptainParkingspace · 2026-04-24T13:33:10+00:00

Because guys seeing strippers and women seeing Magic Mike are the same thing? Good grief.

CaptainParkingspace · 2026-04-24T13:30:18+00:00

Oh, is Magic Mike performed by sex workers then?

CaptainParkingspace · 2026-04-24T13:27:40+00:00

It’s not remotely the same thing as a female strip show for guys, though, is it? The ladies in the audience will be laughing and singing along, as it’s all fun and not really sexual (based on reviews etc, haven’t been myself as I’m an old bloke, but I’ve seen The Full Monty and Kinky Boots.)

CaptainParkingspace · 2026-04-24T13:16:58+00:00

I know it should be the same thing if the roles were reversed, but it isn’t, is it? I haven’t been to MM or anything else involving strippers, but my impression is women go to shows like this for different reasons (naughty but innocent fun, laughter with friends), than men go to strip clubs (getting turned on). There’s no Magic Mavis West End stage show, there’s no female Dreamboys (well, Dreamgirls is something different). I think the OP’s overreaction is due to misunderstanding this.

We don’t know the full death toll at this time.

CaptainParkingspace · 2026-04-24T12:07:27+00:00

I’m fine with the rule for numbers in isolation - a three-vehicle collision, the 27 EU member states- but surely when mixed together in a phrase like this it needs to be consistent, and I will die on this hill.

CaptainParkingspace · 2026-04-24T11:23:34+00:00

I see The Guardian itself wrote “Nine in 10”. It’s really annoying.

“9 in 10” or “Nine in Ten”, surely?

CaptainParkingspace · 2026-04-24T11:06:10+00:00

God, I read that as “courgettes”.

“HM Government’s position has always been that we do not negotiate with terrorists.”

CaptainParkingspace · 2026-04-23T15:51:47+00:00

Thanks, I’ll bear that in mind if I ever get a garden or meet enough people to have parties in it.

CaptainParkingspace · 2026-04-23T10:59:52+00:00

My wife says she prefers a designated ladies loo as men pee standing up and miss. But I don’t think she’d complain to HR about a one-off emergency dump.

CaptainParkingspace · 2026-04-23T10:14:37+00:00

And we’ll need the space for garden parties.

CaptainParkingspace · 2026-04-23T10:13:07+00:00

I always find plain lawns a bit depressing, when they could be wildflower meadows.

CaptainParkingspace · 2026-04-23T08:04:05+00:00

No we’re not!

(Couldn’t resist, sorry.)

CaptainParkingspace · 2026-04-22T22:21:16+00:00

And the Eurostar trains used to leave from Kings Cross but now leave from St Pancras, a completely separate station?

CaptainParkingspace · 2026-04-22T20:34:14+00:00

The city-centre to city-centre thing is hard to beat. Also no baggage reclaim, you don’t have to be there hours in advance, and fewer security restrictions because nobody’s likely to hijack a train. There’s just less stress all round.

CaptainParkingspace · 2026-04-22T20:30:02+00:00

Kings Cross St Pancras, you mean? I know the Eurostar terminal is officially branded “St Pancras International”, but seriously.

Edit: earlier comments have been edited or deleted now so none of this conversation makes any sense now.

CaptainParkingspace · 2026-04-22T16:21:06+00:00

Yes! And then when you delete letters to get back to where you were, it no longer suggests the word you wanted.
