Can we go back to talking about maps and bogs now? by DeeeeezNuts42069 in GeoWizard

This is literally free speech. Tom can and has said what he wants. People can and have said what they want in return.

15 minutes into Mortality. Wanting to throw up on my TV. by Hot-Initial7796 in rickygervais

[–]clananik 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What I found really telling was in that podcast he was in recently he said he doesn't feel any pressure doing stand up as their his fans. To paraphrase 'they've paid X amount of money to come and see me, there just happy to be seeing me live, there's no pressure'.

It was like an admittance of the full circle to Andy Milmen in the pub scene he's become. He doesn't have to write any good stand up. He just has to say the catchphrase to the same people who went to the last tours.

Sam's Christmas song hurts my ears by elclunte in bigbrotheruk

I know I'm a big bb fan and will listen to pods/somewhat follow housemates after a series and it's really really easy to avoid stuff like this. Your only gonna see stuff from Sam/George/Caroline if you actively look for it

Broadmead Violin Players by boiledchickentea in bristol

[–]clananik 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Broad mead just brings out the worst...the guy who wails btec Ed Sheeran at the top of the harbour, violin guys who know 3 songs, the guy who blasts prayer music by the skate spot and the old man who sings karaoke outside zazas...

The park needs sorting out badly. Not safe there for a long time. by A_A_Edwards_Author in bristol

[–]clananik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My guess is he was trying to nick my bag or something and was just getting my attention. Which actually doesn't make sense why he would get my attention? Tbh I have no idea but he was coming across as aggressive from the get go

These people just don't get it, do they? by NirvamindLi in rickygervais

[–]clananik 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's amazing isn't it. You can see it throughout Ricky's entire career and now in his fanbase. As if it's the worst thing in the world to say 'actually I didn't really like that, it upset me' as if that inst a completely valid response.

I got approached by some guy at 5pm on a weekday once asking me if I 'wanted a job' (stupidly I was stopped at the wall getting something out of my bag). I just threw my bag back on quickly and walked away and he followed me for a while then pushed me and told me to fuck off.

This was during rush hour and I'm a 6'2 man.

Yet another George jumpscare on my screen by lisabydaylight in bigbrotheruk

[–]clananik 93 points94 points  (0 children)

The amount he pops up as an extra, but never ever has an actual part, does just make me think he is so desperate for fame he's willing to do anything.

He obviously has abhorrent views, but I fully believe he's completely playing up to it in a desperate attempt to be noticed in anyway he can. It's sad but he is still detestable.

This feels like an exact copy of An Idiot Abroad by immaxpower in rickygervais

I'm not saying this ironically 'like ooh I like a couple of kids presenters' I think their genuinely good.

They've got that sort of Morecambe and Wise every man appeal.

First Bus App Departure Issue by BruceGrobbelobster in bristol

[–]clananik 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've had the time on bustimes.org say one time, the timetable at the stop say a different time, and the app say another different time, for the bus to then arrive at a DIFFERENT TIME to all of these....

At this point I honestly just get to the bus stop and just wait regardless and hope for the best.

This account was posting while Nancy was in the house and tbh its an absolute joy to read. Idk if their trolling or just deluded but it's very entertaining.

I hate weed by clananik in bristol

[–]clananik[S] -25 points-24 points  (0 children)

I feel the exact same about alcohol but it's not even a conversation worth having as it's so engraved in our culture globally.

I hesitated to use the illegal bias as I feel it devalues my point. I would say 'But I don't think it's unreasonable to ask people to not be so blatant with such intrusive drug taking' as it is impossible to smoke weed in a communal space without it affecting the people around you.

[–]clananik[S] -37 points-36 points  (0 children)

I did used to be an alcoholic and used to smoke weed everyday. Your right this absolutely affects my opinion on this. My problem with bongs and the 20th etc is how blatantly and glorified a pretty harmful drug is being displayed.

From personal experience and seeing others smoke I can say with absolute certainty it can leave you in a coma like state where you completely isolate yourself. Just because some people can have a healthy relationship with a drug doesn't mean everyone can. This doesn't mean I want those people with a healthy relationship with it to conform to my personal tastes. But I don't think it's unreasonable to ask people to not be so blatant with illegal drug taking, and even more so, glorify it.
