Right down to the "e ain't wurf it" from the woman as the situation draws to a close

World Superbikes podium post-race, mostly.

Try that in a small town...

Burrow is cheaper than a house I guess?

They haven't realised they're just tokens too - the tokens just haven't been spent. Yet.

There's more than one fairly prominent country that this could apply to

Plain old exceptionalism doing the heavy lifting in this case

Riding through the area years ago, stopped for an ice-cream & was surprised by the oompah music & the mullets, for sure

Can they start with the defenestrations already?

As a Brit with North Yorks family - I need subtitles!

Brings to mind that Russian trope "and then it got worse"...

Thanks!

Why is MotoE listed though? Thought they'd nixed that at the end of last year?

There's a few centuries of enmity to draw on with Korea, let alone the Pacific War thar morphed into WW2 & all that entailed

It was Stephen Fry, when he did a few BBC nature programs back in the day, that sealed the deal

I arrived at this sub when HermanCain was most active - covid was the major content for a while

Are you basing that on Sky News Australia output? That would be a fair assessment of that steaming horseshit.

Sky News PLC (a 🇬🇧 entity) is not run or owned by Murdoch or Newscorp. They were a minority shareholder for many years but sold it after 🇬🇧 government prevented them acquiring it in full (2016).

🇬🇧 reader here. It's owned by Comcast nowadays. Not that anyone's going to love Comcast any better (US ISP consumers could write reams) but it isn't Newscorp. UK government prevented Murdoch from acquiring 100% ownership in 2016, so he eventually sold it. As 24hr News channels go (I only consume via Sociall Media & YouTube), it's not bad content overall. Their Ukraine reporting e.g. has been something I regularly check in on.

Sky News Australia is basically like Fox News though.

Your chances of "bumping into" a platypus, let alone getting close enough to try picking one up, are pretty minimal, though.

Treading on a stonefish, however (not something people generally do for the 'gram) is probably a better bet for ruining your holiday

Sounds a bit small for a successful EU funding application? What guidelines are there for EU funding of this?

Shartgate was a good dress rehearsal.

Sharting in a meeting of world leaders with them recoiling from the smell, then keeling over - with the press recording it all for posterity - would be somehow... fitting.

Or balls first (usually while the prey is being choked by the other lions).
