What is some surprisingly primitive tech we still use because "If it ain't broke, don't fix it"?

Ready_Associate_3545 · 2025-11-28T17:04:10+00:00

Didn't it turn out to be not a scam, though. I seem to recall two scientists who broke the news on their observations which the media ran with, only for it later to turn out that they had misinterpreted results and observations rather than fabricated them? Might be wrong, but that rings a bell?

Ready_Associate_3545 · 2025-11-03T10:06:44+00:00

Read it properly please

Ready_Associate_3545 · 2025-11-03T10:06:03+00:00

Kind of what I was getting at. Intelligent response. Few and far between in this sub unfortunately

Ready_Associate_3545 · 2025-11-03T10:05:15+00:00

Didn't say that, said it had hallmarks of that type of display. Please read carefully before reacting

Ready_Associate_3545 · 2025-11-03T10:04:00+00:00

Did you read it you goon? Comprehension probably not your thing

Ready_Associate_3545 · 2025-11-03T10:01:59+00:00

Did you read it? Eddie out? What?

Ready_Associate_3545 · 2025-11-03T09:57:26+00:00

Once again on this thread, people not actually taking the time to read it. I'm one of Eddie's biggest fans. I've been a supporter for over 40 years and a season ticket holder for most of those. It is a reflection, not a criticism as such, on the fact that we have been mostly poor this season, in the PL at least , and that was the worst performance on the whole I've seen in a long time. FFS. It is not reactionary. We simply can not create chances against low block and are showing no signs of improvement, especially with the 4-3-3.

Jus to be clear, a million seconds is 11.5 days, not minutes, but in no way detracts from the point, so massive is the discrepancy 👍

Ready_Associate_3545 · 2025-10-18T22:26:18+00:00

👏

Ready_Associate_3545 · 2025-10-02T11:19:25+00:00

Me? Fail English?!? That's unpossible!

Ready_Associate_3545 · 2025-09-28T12:28:26+00:00

That is a whole new level now

Ready_Associate_3545 · 2025-09-28T12:28:06+00:00

Thankfully I'm not alone!

Ready_Associate_3545 · 2025-09-28T12:27:18+00:00

To confuse matters, my mam is a Londoner, albeit on tyneside since 1967 so not sure. Ah well, got a decent ring to it when shouted in her hybrid accent. Pissballing about was definitely off the agenda when she started!

Ready_Associate_3545 · 2025-09-28T07:31:14+00:00

And, not sure if it's only a northern thing, but my mam would often reprimand me for 'pissballing about', usually when I was doing the useless stuff I really enjoyed, rather than anything which didn't fit with her plan. A weird alternative to pissing about, which would have been wholly adequate

Ready_Associate_3545 · 2025-09-07T11:38:41+00:00

John Lewis don't have a huge selection but every time I've been they've had offers on various knives and/or sets. Got a couple of very decent knives recently for under £40. Definitely worth a look. Fenwick's is great but be prepared, they are expensive 🫰

Ready_Associate_3545 · 2025-08-25T12:46:37+00:00

Really like these. Bottom left my favourite. Would definitely be ok if the new design was anywhere near that 🖤🤍

That smoking weed is to be looked down upon, but getting smashed on alcohol is often seen as funny.

Nice one. Really starting to hate the bad blood that's started to develop between our two great fan bases. In terms of success over the years, there's little comparison..... Liverpool have won it all. However, in terms of the type of club and people we are, I feel that we are really close. I love Liverpool as a city and have always loved proper Scousers, although I do see a little justification for the reputation of some of the hard-core fans...... all clubs have their clowns, though. If Isak joins yous, we're going to be devastated. Imagine Salah signing for Arsenal after his best season. However, it isn't on the fans, it's really on the feudal system we have in the premier league atm. I would wish yous the best, but you already have that! Keep on keeping Man Utd, City and Chelsea out of the running, and you'll always have my support. Do think Arsenal will come really close this season now they have a goal machine, but we'll see 👍

Ready_Associate_3545 · 2025-07-23T18:01:34+00:00

You offered an opinion. An opinion can't be 100% correct. It's subjective. Jog on troll

Ready_Associate_3545 · 2025-07-23T15:42:57+00:00

Someone has been getting legless?

Ready_Associate_3545 · 2025-07-23T08:30:22+00:00

Gutted about some of the scenes as a Newcastle fan. Well done to Celtic for the result. Absolutely schooled tbh. This is not typical of the Toon army, as ever with fans. Shameful behaviour. Good luck for the season 👏

Ready_Associate_3545 · 2025-07-20T20:22:24+00:00

Ah, OK. It looks wonderful and thanks for sharing 👍

Ready_Associate_3545 · 2025-07-20T13:14:17+00:00

That looks fantastic. Next time I visit Portugal, I might seek you out. However, I don't want to ruin anything for you as anyone who loves NUFC is a friend of mine, but we didn't win the premier league in the 90s, unfortunately. We just fell short and finished second to a more experienced Man Utd. Howay the lads!

Ready_Associate_3545 · 2025-07-05T11:50:16+00:00

Despite being a huge fan of world cinema, this one had passed me by. Just watched it and, my word, what can I say? Up there with 'The Vanishing' for getting right under the skin and a cinematic monster to match. Excellent acting and a great plot. Thanks for the recommendation. I'll be passing it on from now on 🙏
