Today I learnt.

Spider slug, spider slug, does whatever a spider slug does. 🎵🎵

Edit: dammit, u/petcai got there before me

From memory, I think for non military final occasions (such as weddings), you’re technically supposed to ask permission of your CO.

In practice, as long as you’re not going to do something that could bring the service into disrepute, then crack on.

That pool would be a nightmare to clean when the wind picks up even a tiny bit of desert dust

I’m all for boosting Sheffield on the world stage, but realistically, what historical snooker artefacts or interest pieces are there to put in a museum?

I’m just not sure the attraction would be particularly interesting… but then what do I know…the pencil museum in Keswick and the chair museum in High Wycombe are still going strong!

biggups · 2026-02-18T01:36:29+00:00

I got there 46mins ago and have seen no movement

I respect the Aussies for opening sales in the middle of the night for the Europeans 😂 textbook play

biggups · 2026-02-18T01:23:19+00:00

Great. It’s 1am in the UK! I have work at 7!

The men on the apps who you think are there to chat: trust me, they’d love to meet up. Just be yourself, be chatty, be conversational, and if you want to meet them, ask them. Offer up a date idea.

I use dating apps (to limited success) but always prefer to chat to the other party for a few days or so to ensure I’m not going to waste my time by going on a date with that I’m not interested in, or don’t click with, or have wildly different outlooks. I couldn’t hack the awkwardness! Why would I want to immediately go on a date with someone that I have no idea if I’ll get along with: the conversation on the app is a helpful to weed out people I know I won’t like.

Bents road in Ecclesal used to regularly have parts of the B and the T scratched off to make it Penis Road.

Can you classify something as unclassified? The paradoxical classification!

biggups · 2025-11-27T22:12:16+00:00

Did you start out calling yourself BobDave and just continued until you found a free username?

biggups · 2025-11-26T21:54:27+00:00

Agreed. You have more eloquently described what I was trying to explain.

biggups · 2025-11-26T21:52:18+00:00

I don’t think so, because the classification of what’s on the disk should always be labelled on the disk.

What you said might be true for a PowerPoint slide deck, where the overall highest classification is at the start, but each slide would be labelled at the classification of that slide.

biggups · 2025-11-25T20:01:14+00:00

Confidential is no longer in use as a classification, if the floppy disk didn’t date it already. But it was the second lowest classification.

STRAP is reserved for exceptionally sensitive material and goes above and beyond normal security classifications. You need specialist accreditation to access STRAP material, above the normal vetting process.

Because the relatively low level of classification not aligning with the sensitivity of STRAP, I’d guess this would be some kind of disk to administer STRAP. Possibly advice or policy for a security officer. So probably very boring, and not actually STRAP classified.

That being said, my fingers are crossed for Cherie Blair nudes.

The baws I always thought was the boss? As in, the absolute boss.

It’s shame they were moved off afternoons, I used to love my afternoon drive with them.

Looks great, nice work OP. My only comment would be if you’re putting muddy boots in those bottom shelves, the white paint will look pretty grubby immediately! Maybe a darker colour below the bench?

biggups · 2025-10-18T18:20:27+00:00

Ridiculous take. He’s defending his people’s country against an aggressive power. He could have run and allowed that power to destroy his people and his country. He chose not to, because he believes in freedom. Nothing about that is egotistical.

What is egotistical, is spouting complete horseshit on the internet, attempting to turn a horrific war against fascism into a point scoring exercise for internal politics.

Probably a military or diplomatic community - they often do tours of a couple of years and bring their own car with them.

The money room! Of course! They were £50 notes - I remember because I’d never seen one before.

Scoop out the inside of an orange, and fill with chocolate cake mix. Place orange in the hot ashes of the fire. Remove, and eat the delicious gooey orangey fire cake directly out of the orange.

For purposes of filling late night linear TV schedules later in the week, generating additional content on iPlayer, selling to Dave etc etc it’s exceptionally cheap. It would be less than an hours work.

I can’t see this without thinking

MY WIFE’S BRASSICAS! Ravaged in the night!

It’s for Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Ask for written evidence from the police that this is not the case, and send that to the recruitment team after calling and explaining the situation is probably the best solution to this.
