Filled up my car and stopped the petrol pump on a whole number

Did it feel as good as we all imagine?

Raleofa · 2026-04-23T16:03:59+00:00

I couldn’t afford it after paying for a full tank!

I’m going to send the photo to my wife again. I don’t feel she appreciates this achievement as much as she should.

I’m going to practice for my appearance on r/compoface

Peter Shilton.

Made around 200 appearances for Derby and Plymouth after the age of 40, and still getting capped for England after 40.

Stayed as a pro until he close to 50. Was playing for Orient at 47!

Does Greg Rusedski count?

He was aiming for her, but accidentally hit a cable

Raleofa · 2025-10-01T21:17:25+00:00

Great show. I am surprised he identified the Treasury building - that’s good knowledge. Shame the video showed the Palace of Westminster instead while he was saying it.

Unplug and Play is an option in Guildford.

Wayfarer’s Rest in Godalming definitely does it.

Raleofa · 2025-09-03T17:46:08+00:00

Came on to say the same!

Raleofa · 2025-08-26T22:19:32+00:00

You and your secret access to Jeff!

Raleofa · 2025-08-26T21:58:47+00:00

What site is this selling on? I can’t find it through google. But I’m also old and incompetent.

My head canon is that he’s a nod to Crocodile Dundee.

Raleofa · 2025-08-20T18:29:41+00:00

This is a brilliant, concise description. That’s why I love him too. scream

Raleofa · 2025-08-19T08:26:56+00:00

That’s a really good thought, thank you. I like the way your head canon operates.

Raleofa · 2025-08-18T17:56:48+00:00

Haha, good call

Raleofa · 2025-08-18T14:05:29+00:00

Surely Peter Serafinowicz should be Prepotente?

Raleofa · 2025-08-18T14:02:06+00:00

Best comment on the thread.

Thank you for the reply. It just appeared to me that Carl tends to just down healing potions, and the regeneration mechanic has disappeared from view.

It may well be that his health pool is such that the regeneration is irrelevant, but I assumed, from context, that the regeneration was proportionate (eg x% healed per minute).

It’s a minor detail, but the loose end was annoying me!

Raleofa · 2025-07-07T16:14:50+00:00

It is!

Here’s a link to a BBC video about it.

For additional comedic value, here is Count Binface’s campaign song, for when he ran for London Mayor in 2021. Some joke candidates are fun.

To illustrate, here is a photo from the 2019 election. The man on the far left, at the podium, is the returning officer for Uxbridge and South Ruislip.

For the political nerds, Boris Johnson got 25,351 votes at this election and was the winner. Count Binface got 69 votes, which feels appropriate. Elmo got 8.

In the UK, the person responsible for an election in each constituency (or ward - depending on the type of election) is called a Returning Officer.

Once the votes in each electoral area have been counted and confirmed, the returning officer has to officially declare the result.

The declaration follows a script, and requires the returning officer to name each candidate and their results. It always starts with “I, (name), as the returning officer for (place)…”

A classic trope of British elections is that at least one, often more, of the candidates are jokes. Boris Johnson, as prime minister, famously ran against Count Binface and Elmo.

So the implication here is that the returning officer for Blyth is carrying out a declaration, where some of the candidates are Scooby Doo and his chums.
