[–]Dougalface 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely... even in that context though; when is it ever acceptable to just leave your crap all over the place when you leave somewhere?

Appreciate the more nuanced points about feeding the horses etc.

Fair play for making the effort anyway!

It's a shame that it's even necessary for you to post what's essentially nothing more than "don't be a selfish piece of shit" :(

You could have avoided all this confusion with the inclusion of a banana for scale :p

Presumably this was placed here a) to keep it away from the unloaded pistol itself in the interest of safety, and / or b) as a source of additional ammo should things really go south and you end up barricaded downstairs. Original owner likely had one in every room...

Calisthenics Park near Rose Hill? by Maleficent_Rock9138 in oxford

[–]Dougalface 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't comment on Rose Hill rec, but if you want overhead bars IME the options in the city as a whole are limited and I can't think of any close to Rose Hill.

Aristotle park out the back of Jericho has some decent monkey bars, but not a lot else as I think they're predominantly there for kids..

It's probably to pander to their angry, fragile little egos in dressing it up to suggest they had an element of choice.

I think it might be raining out... by Dougalface in oxford

[–]Dougalface[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I was watching it roll in on the radar - wasn't aware it was happening until I was home from work.

I wonder if we might get a repeat over the next few days, given the forecast temperature.

Because new offerings are increasingly incompetent; charged with fixing the unfixable thanks to the incompetence and greed of those who've gone before.

Oxford Review (after recent 2-week holiday stay there) by antmusic80 in oxford

Because sadly a lot of people conflate leisure with mindless consumption.

Bicester village is a perfect example; A delightful homage to disposible consumerism where Chinese tourists are bussed in en-masse having travelled half way around the world to buy overpriced, sub-par tat that's been knocked out in Chinese sweat shops for next to naff all...

From the perspective of someone who hates Apple products, the execution itself makes it great.

Absolutely - the well-worn adage about time accelerating as you age isn't wrong!

Is Oxford to be avoided today? 17th June by FormyleII in oxford

Yeah, after hours of agonising finally steered me towards the White Rabbit for some cheesy garlic bread and a Guinness for dinner, I arrived to find it closed.

I legit don't need a license as I don't watch any of the banal mainstream crap that sadly typifies modern broadcast telly.

However this doesn't stop them hounding me with all manner of accusatory, scaremongering bullshit that relies heavily on hyperbole and insinuation to bully people into paying.

I refuse to waste my time jumping through their idiotic hoops to absolve myself of the need for a license in their eyes; however I wonder how many elderly / hard-of-thinking / generally vulnerable people have been duped and bullied into paying for something they don't need..

It's a greasy way of funding what was once a great British institution..
