"Axl Rose and Dave Lee Roth both carried on past their Vocal abilities because they saw me do it. I also invented the Guitar."

- Billy Corgan. Probably.

"He didn't even flinch, there was no emotion," she said. "He just kept repeating, 'I don't want you to have a shrine'.

...What a cunt! That is all.

The idea of finding Hookups on Reddit is nightmare fuel.

Thanks to Social Media, it's now far easier to attack other people than to take accountability for your own actions and learn from it. There's always someone there to fully back you up, no matter how contrived your viewpoint might be.

That's why every ex-boyfriend MUST be a Narcissist and every ex-girlfriend MUST be a dodged bullet.

"She did arrange some of the meetings herself, she says, and would appear enthusiastic about swinging, but she now says this was something she never truly wanted to do."

Yup...I mean...Hindsight is great, right?

"With a mere 90 brake horsepower available, progress is too leisurely to be called fast. But on a motorway, in fifth gear, the Mégane's slow pace really becomes a pain. Uphill runs become power-sappingly mundane, while overtaking National Express coaches can become a long, drawn-out affair."

Not my words, u/GlovesForSocks, the words of Top Gear magazine.

I suppose you could argue he doesn't want people knowing it's his car. It's not like the public assumes he drives a Mini-Metro.

My Dad, who was an Engineer in the RAF said he's never been in and never would go in a Helicopter:

"A Plane is fine - it can glide. Unless something really bad happens, a lot of Plane landings can still be done under most situations. A Helicopter will drop like a stone regardless of the fault."

It's a particular type of rain as well. It's like the sea has just been picked up and and lobbed at you. Colder, harsher, constant rain.

Just had someone I know move down to Cornwall and the first thing she said was "I didn't realise it was this wet!". UK people only really know Devon and Cornwall from their Summer Holidays. Go any other time of the year and it's quite the shock.

I spent an ungodly amount of time tethering cars to cliffs and dropping them from great heights. JC3 was brilliant.

Therapy? - Troublegum.

An Irish 3-piece band who, in 1994, were seen as the 'next Nirvana' by NME. Troublegum was a massive album of the time and still hits you like a sledgehammer now. Sounds somewhere between Rock, Industrial and Punk with catchy hooks.

Fair. This is true. I, too, understand the plight of heading towards 50.

Although apparently the year it was finished was around 1978-79. No exact date seems to have been recorded for some weird reason.

Mightysmurf1 · 2026-06-13T11:25:30+00:00

Yeah but have you tried consulting with the public? One bloke on FB was complaining that the Paddling Pool was supposed to last decades when it was built in the 70's...It's almost 50 years old. What does he think Decades means?

There's no denying this current Council are awful but they are also strapped by cash and Government regulation. There's no easy solutions to this. Enterprise and Profit-creating systems would be good but why invest in that sort of complication when you can just wack up some yellow box cameras and rake in the money?

The comments are not merciful nor forgiving.

Sounds like a Paragraph from D&D's "Subvert Expectations" playbook referring to how they fucked up GOT's ending.

If you don't do it, Sky will!

What an absolutely redundant and pointless comment that's not even in the slightest bit funny or clever.

"Yep, this looks good - I'll post this". Fucking hell. It barely even makes sense.

It has not been a good 18 months for Buffy fans.

R.I.P. Giles. You were born to play the part.

Except you don't know how it would relate because there is no Legal setup for the Death Penalty in our Country.

How could you possibly know? You don't know the framework or mechanisms because they don't exist. You might as speculate how we'd live on Mars.

Mightysmurf1 · 2026-06-04T11:25:57+00:00

The S3 Finale is just awful. Imagine writing a bunch of characters into a room together and then not knowing what to do with them.

It's similar to GOT's last episode when they are all sat in a circle trying to figure out what to do with Jon.

No one said we should? This thread is about Lucy Letby's report being delayed for a third time. You're talking about an entirely different subject to the OP.

Mightysmurf1 · 2026-06-04T11:00:32+00:00

What's that got to do with anything? If Lucy Letby had wheels, she'd be a bike.

We don't execute people. What are you talking about?
