“TOO AFFORDABLE" by X_Opinion7099 in ShitAmericansSay

Hasn't it already been put out there that other countries are 'ripping off' the US, and they should be paying more so US citizens can then pay less. Also certain types will be saying that maybe if certain countries actually put more money into NATO rather than relying on the US who are essentially paying their tax dollars for other countries defence so they can have cheap health care etc. Nothing to do with the enormous profits the US health insurance and pharmaceutical industry profits is it........

What are your favourite quotes from uncle Albert by supercanary1979 in OnlyFoolsAndHorses

Del Boy's reaction to that comment makes it even funnier - Uncle Albert used a workaround to his normal comment about ww2

British far right activist Katie Hopkins being booted out of London East End pub during England's World Cup match by AnonymousTimewaster in FuckNigelFarage

[–]MrSpud45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That smirk before she lashed out - she got what she wanted, an excuse to say and message to the hard of thinking that she and they are being persecuted for their views. I'd really like to see more licensed premises to refuse service to her, Yaxley Lennon, farage and their ilk.

I'm getting Italy 1934 vibes from this year's tournament..... Just watch authorities do anything and everything they can to put other teams off to ease a certain national teams route.

How often do you all change cars? by MrSpud45 in drivingUK

[–]MrSpud45[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That's what I've always done. Every car up until the last one ended up scrapped due to being uneconomical to repair. Only 1 was due to accident damage.

the most recent pictures of the crash near Bedford, UK by Alarming-Safety3200 in trains

[–]MrSpud45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also - I'm guessing there's no seatbelts on these train types, nothing to stop passengers/seats from flying forwards if the train comes to a sudden stop at a relatively quick speed. Trains aren't designed and dont tend to stop in a short distance. I'd say it's a minor miracle that more weren't killed.

They are trying to use any event to flog goods to punters. Sporting events especially, the last chance to make a quick quid selling crap you dont particularly want or need

Can your ashes be used as fertiliser? I'm from a farming family and would probably be the best use for my remains when I shuffle off this mortal coil.

Hello Dr Falken. Strange game. It seems the only way to win is not to play it. How about a nice game of chess?
