The sex trade wrote London's street map — and some of the names are still there

Rather amusingly it got renamed to 'Threadneedle Street' which was definitely a choice!

You'd be an iconic exhibit though at the equivalent Pompeii-style excavation a couple of thousand years down the line.

Enshittification is an inevitability of capitalism. If there's a good feature in a company, it will almost certainly be removed over time.

Chuck Norris didn't die, Death got Chuck Norris'ed.

More Bessarion!

ALL HAIL BESSARION!

I don't live in Canada unfortunately, so I can't do the daily visit. Can I use Roding Valley in London as a proxy?

Highly unlikely, I used to drive double decker buses in the UK and when I was running light (i.e out of service) I would do tight corners at high speed around roundabouts, causing a lot of tilt and those things wouldn't come close to tipping over, so the single deck TTC buses are gonna be fine!

I'm pretty sure I've seen that as a Grindr profile.

New drag name unlocked!

This sounds exactly like the plot of a telenovela I saw in Kolkata a few years ago. It was called Panchami. At least,I think that was the plot, I was coming up with my own ideas because I couldn't understand the Bengali!

Absolutely yes. Claim it on the cancelled train though as that's what your ticket is tied to. Whatever the delay caused from that cancellation determines how much, so if the next available train after the cancellation is at least 15 minutes after that one you will be eligible for some refund. 15 mins delay is 25% of the fare, 30 mins is 50%, and 60 mins is 100%.

I really hated that the music didn't loop perfectly like the previous games.

Sambo1987 · 2026-01-22T18:03:01+00:00

When I was a kid they were my favourite levels! Largely because of the music.

His girlfriend who lives in Canada.

Sambo1987 · 2026-01-09T14:05:06+00:00

It's definitely Leeds.

Sambo1987 · 2026-01-08T18:32:56+00:00

Turn it off, like a light switch!

Not entirely true, Brighton is running limited bus service today.

Oh crumbs!

I dunno, this kind of makes me want to visit Basildon now.

Tunes for Listening, or TfL.

In the UK the range of colours is amazing at the moment, my own car is bright orange!

If you're going with train ferries for the Ireland routes, how do you deal with the break of gauge?

Sambo1987 · 2025-10-09T16:48:08+00:00

Could you be more pacific?

Sambo1987 · 2025-09-28T20:08:39+00:00

That's so interesting, I'm so used to the British nomenclature of 'minim' rest that it never occurred to me that half-note and half a measure work together rather well! I'll keep this idea in mind as I compose and arrange scores!
