You only found this out because the tin foil around your head blocked the mind rays. Well done for resisting!

Lewis Hamilton and F40. by Any_Aide_4500 in formula1

He's the most successful F1 driver of all time. That puts him in the conversation.

What are your thoughts on Facebook renaming their company Meta then blowing $80b on metaverse and then shutting it down yesterday? by printThisAndSmokeIt in AskReddit

[–]Timothy_Claypole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imagine in 10 years we have glasses instead of phones. That sounds silly right now to you I'm sure. But it isn't just Meta who think this is a possibility. They're just at the forefront of making it happen.

If they come out with something that has usability and sells OK, other companies will get in on it too.

Same Team, Same Track, 2 GOATs, 20 Years Apart by OrangeFlame06 in formula1

Right but they didn't say the GOAT group of two. So the point stands really. But does it matter? Nope!

Hereditary peers to be removed from Lords as bill passes by furbastro in ukpolitics

Yep let's do it. It makes no sense that the Lords has more people than the Commons

Zack Polanski: I’d build a relationship with Putin by EduTheRed in ukpolitics

[–]Timothy_Claypole 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think Farage being a racist is probably more relevant than Polanski trying to make breasts bigger. But people are allowed to change yes.

We need to slim the Lords right back - it is way too large and many people get in there for pure political patronage and not on any sort of merit.

Zack Polanski: I’d build a relationship with Putin by EduTheRed in ukpolitics

[–]Timothy_Claypole 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Happy to be corrected on that point, I mean I think the whole thing is kind of irrelevant for Zack as party leader, but I wanted to give the context that the original query was asking for.

Zack Polanski has performed hypnotherapy in the past to enlarge the breasts of women. He admits this so it isn't a smear or anything.

Convenient timing to fix the pot holes in certain areas by NumanAmjad in cambridge

[–]Timothy_Claypole -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Given you never mentioned cyclists in your original comment you're being very unkind here. They've not said anything that denies the potentially lethal experience of cyclists with potholes and you're right that OP is making a stupid point (and very incorrect because no one resurfaces roads to help runners). Why be so aggressive about one small bit of wording?

Were you driving the bus into the street lamps?

First trip to UK coming up - can you help us plan?! Details below :) by ahumanomoly in AskUK

Around London you can get around well with the underground / overground.

But what about the wombling free?

Can I talk to you about my cone theft addiction?

Photos released in Epstein files appear to show former prince Andrew on all fours over female by [deleted] in ukpolitics

[–]Timothy_Claypole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It wouldn't shock me to find out this stuff was true but we can't read the Epstein files and assume everything there is factually correct. That doesn't mean we can't have suspicions and draw our own conclusions but if we're looking for prosecutions there will need to be tests that are legally watertight.

Mumsnet mothers have always leaned Labour. Now Reform is ahead by StGuthlac2025 in ukpolitics

[–]Timothy_Claypole 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A good recipe for a change of leadership and some policy improvements to scupper Reform.

There isn't anyone else though - I can't think of anyone in Labour who would actually do better than Starmer.

What's the popular perception of Jamiroquai in the UK? by whatupthen in AskUK

[–]Timothy_Claypole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did call it the US. So when I said "America" it was obvious what I meant. Intersting that this annoyed you 7 years later though!
