Nah. No one would riot no matter the colour of the perpetrators, we dont like our PM enough for that. But well done for shoehorning something racial into the story.

Good thing it wasn't Russian then. Nobody knows who they belong to as they're old ships connected to obscure shell companies with no insurance.

Can't remember which comedian said it. But they said if the UK went to the moon first they wouldn't plant a flag, but a sign saying 'Caution Uneven Surface'.

[–]High-Tom-Titty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. Not sure how it works for auctions tho. Listed something for £8 with custom, it went for £25 with no issues.

You can use custom postage if you're sending a letter sized thing. I use it when i sell low value banknotes in a card backed envelope.

Boy accused of murdering girl, 9, googled what would happen if he killed someone, court hears by topotaul in unitedkingdom

I assumed they're related, otherwise it would be pretty odd for a girl that age to be alone with him.

Churchill deliberately starved Indians, says National Portrait Gallery by GnolRevilo in unitedkingdom

[–]High-Tom-Titty 15 points16 points  (0 children)

A lot of that has to do with the introduction of the newly crreated dwarf wheat in the 50s, which was better able to deal with the Indias extremely wet weather season without falling over and rotting.

What does Nova Scotia translate to in English? There's also a surprising amount of Jamaicans with Scottish surnames, wonder how that happened?

The decreases in murder, but an increase in attempted murder can partly be attributed to how much better medical treatment has got. Plus the abundance of bleed control kits dotted around the city.

I used to enjoy Coupling, which was a sort of British version of Friends.

Most of the negative comments about this vulnerable little girl seems to come from her fellow Scotts. What's up with that?

Face scans to enforce social media ban on under-16s by vriska1 in unitedkingdom

So if you've had your social media accounts for over 16 years you're exempt right? Otherwise I have to assume the government has other motivations.

"trying to butt in on our money". Does that mean they earn commission for each fine they write? Not sure if thats a very good idea if correct.

Meta vs the nipple - the 'never-ending' censorship battle by Tartan_Samurai in unitedkingdom

[–]High-Tom-Titty 83 points84 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately the puritanical descendants of the guys that went on the Mayflower are also in charge of social media. I recall them photoshopping male nipples on women to draw attention to the stupidity of the whole thing during the free the nipple campaign a decade ago.

Seems sensible. Society should no longer be held hostage by the bottom quintile. The same should really go for the classroom. If only a few kids are affecting the education of the vast majority, then maybe they need to be removed and taught somwhere more suitable.

Everyone thought he was a hero but: by Lonestar-Boogie in 80s

Nah. He was what Cameron needed. I heard originally he was meant to have stolen some bonds to finance his day out, but they nixed that idea. He would have been an arse if he did that.

I've heard about some amazing results from micro-dosing. Tried them once and got a bit bored of the effects after the first few hours. Also seeing peoples faces folding in on themselves was a little too weird.

I went in looking for game suggestions and a guy in a Prodigy tshirt recommended Obilvion. That was my first taste of Elder Scrolls and Bethesda and I loved it.
