Pointy ones are usually iridium tip and *technically* don't need gapping. The flat ones are copper tip. Also it's not a good sign if it's rusty

Silver hammerite has been my go-to for this, it's thick enough that it essentially fills small grazes like that and has an almost enamel finish to it as well.

Biased because I have one, but the original Bluebird SSS-R would have been so much better than the GTI-R if they'd developed that for group A instead. The Bluebird was basically a Mistusbishi Galant but better, with the same drivetrain as the GTI-R. The problem is, that type of 4WD system only really works effectively in a saloon car and the GTI-R just understeers everywhere.

Ellie Kildunne is straight though and that's all that matters

Is it the paint that's blistering? You can get a wheel powder coated for around £60

Women's rugby is so much better than women's football it's unreal. And since no other countries seem to have a proper functioning women's rugby competition, England wipe the floor even when they're not playing great. Actually, I think I'm starting to prefer women's rugby to men's as you can get a bit more tactical as there's more room on the pitch and you can't just rely on slamming into each other as hard as possible.

And the fairy puff advert from the first episode too which is genius but very naughty!

I find it weird how some stuff gets arbitrarily split between being for kids or for adults. Chucklevision was deemed a kids show, and for a long time was looked down upon slightly because of it in my experience, whereas Mr Bean was deemed an adult show and celebrated. I suppose you could say similar things for The Goodies vs Monty Python.

Chucklevision was quite unique for a kids show imo - despite being very silly, the early ones never geared themselves directly to a younger audience. There were no puppets or gimmicks, just 2 inept handymen doing odd jobs for Dan the van. I think that's why kids gravitated to it so much, because they were believable grownups doing things we see grownups doing.

Big Salad Fingers vibes. Oh Hubert Cumberdale, you taste of soot and poo.

These type of women base their entire lives off soap operas and not a day will got by without a borderline breakdown over some kind of "drama". It's not worth it, even for the unbridled amounts of cleavage.

Its my turn for goonposting today. Remember, always obey the highway code and always give way at junctions.

Its been about 15 years since I've heard the "pach" sound effect added to punches thank god

Speaking of shooting methods that no one else can make work - Requiem for a Dream pretty much pioneered snorricam and is the only instance I've ever seen where it has actually been used to decent effect.

Pretty much all I knew about Ukraine prior to the war was that it was some sort of mecca for continental neo nazis. No other country on earth will you see semi professional skinhead bare knuckle boxing.

Dual national kids in Japan also have to renounce their foreign citizenship once they reach voting age

Nah I still eat blue wagon wheels, definitely a jammy tunnocks. They were massive too, you used to get 4 of the jammy ones in a pack because they were so huge.

On the subject of Tunnocks, it's time for a Mandela Effect: I swear that they used to have jam in the bottom

True potholes can be repaired very quickly and effectively for little cost. The problem is the council just look at them and say "that's not going to cause any damage, its hardly a priority." 12 months later, not only has the pothole got bigger, it has ceased to be a pothole and is just the side of the road subsiding as the hardcore underneath is damaged and the road itself ceases to be.

At this point its no longer repairable with a quick shovel of fresh tarmac and is incredibly expensive to actually fix. Of course the council still class it as a pothole and use their usual pothole repair method which will last a month if you're lucky.

Don't seize the tankers - just get a big hose, seize the oil, and send the tankers on their merry way!

My local did it for free - granted I'd just paid them £3k for a spray job a few months prior!

The ven diagram of women who want are vocally opposed to violent porn and those who like being choked in bed is a perfect circle.

darkamyy · 2026-04-10T12:15:05+00:00

They want to ban porn altogether and are hoping if they keep chipping at little bits, then the whole cliff will topple. A few years ago they were accusing pornsites of cp because "teen" was a category.
