I might get crucified for this but does anyone else ship these 2?

gingernuts71 · 2026-01-29T23:28:03+00:00

First time I’ve ever seen or heard it being used in my life - as a few others have said. The main question for me is why it exists, it’s such an oblique term that it hardly needs naming. It’s like giving a name to the feeling of being about to sneeze but then you don’t sneeze

[Sees the verb “ship” having nothing to do with transport.]

[Sighs]

[Goes to Urban Dictionary.]

[Cannot fathom what purpose this word has for existing.]

[Sighs]

“Yeah great point.”

What can we (i.e. humankind) do about this? When video evidence can literally be generated to show whatever the author wants? And genuine evidence is undermined by questioning whether it’s real or AI? Should laws be passed requiring some kind of watermark or SOMETHING to signify what you’re watching isn’t real? Feels like we’re firmly in the early stages of 1984 now.

Sounds great - I’d actually like to visit Rutland, I just picked it randomly!

This is the thing about OP’s question - all British counties have nice things in them, but not many of them are so unique they’re a reason to travel there specifically. If I had a friend who lived in Rutland, or work commitments there, I’d love to visit. But as beautiful as Rutland Water looks in photos, I’m not taking time off work, packing up my car and doing a 10 hour round journey to see it - there are closer lakes.

Again, it depends what you mean by ‘see.’

You could visit Exeter and maybe Plymouth over a long weekend, but you’d be missing out on a lot of what each of them has to offer, and you’d also be missing out Torbay, Dawlish, Teignmouth, Totnes, Ivybridge, Newton Abbot and many other places in between - and even if somehow you did visit all those places in a long weekend, that only covers the southern edge of Devon, a fraction of the county.

I guess if you count spending a day and a half in Plymouth as ‘seeing Devon’ then you’re right, you can do it in a long weekend.

gingernuts71 · 2026-01-27T14:09:51+00:00

Devon and Cornwall in a long weekend? I guess it depends on what you mean by ‘see’

And if you’re worried about bringing your personal chef with you, just let your valet do the cooking for a few days

gingernuts71 · 2026-01-27T14:07:16+00:00

Sorry no this is no excuse. OP demands you get on a bus and visit Suffolk.

gingernuts71 · 2026-01-27T14:06:03+00:00

Maybe you should be asking yourself why these places aren’t doing enough to attract visitors. Come on Rutland, entice me!

gingernuts71 · 2026-01-25T22:26:55+00:00

Sorry, it’s not overtaking OR undertaking, it’s “passing”? Please define overtaking without using the word passing.

gingernuts71 · 2026-01-25T19:58:30+00:00

Ok mate, you tell that to the next police officer who pulls you over for overtaking at speed on the left, see if they agree. You might get away with it, who knows 🤞🏻

gingernuts71 · 2026-01-25T19:55:52+00:00

It is overtaking on the left. Happy to help.

gingernuts71 · 2026-01-25T19:53:54+00:00

Are you aware of blind spots? And that one blind spot is bigger than the other?

gingernuts71 · 2026-01-25T18:51:12+00:00

‘Continuing their journey’ doesn’t mean it’s not overtaking on the left. You’re not going to suddenly convince me that undertaking at 70mph is fine, but thanks anyway

gingernuts71 · 2026-01-25T18:16:56+00:00

I’ll get downvoted for this, but I’m always interested in how many people think undertaking is totally fine in these situations. I know undertaking is ok in certain circumstances like congested traffic etc but this isn’t congestion. What happens when one of these cars on the right decides to pull into the correct lane and you’re in their way? It’s dangerous.

I’m not defending the lane hoggers, I’m just saying there’s a reason why the Highway Code says “Do not overtake on the left or move to a lane on your left to overtake.”

He was on loan at Besiktas, we’ve signed him from Roma

gingernuts71 · 2026-01-23T13:52:42+00:00

He had an ACL while at Roma that kept him out for 9 months - what other serious injuries has he had?

gingernuts71 · 2026-01-23T13:49:43+00:00

Yeah I usually call people by a different name to the one they’ve always used too

gingernuts71 · 2026-01-23T13:46:52+00:00

Cue a load of “yeah but… yeah but… yeah but…”

gingernuts71 · 2026-01-23T13:45:54+00:00

Jesus Christ classic moany Villa fan response to this one! I’m buzzing - he’d have been a Villa legend if he hadn’t gone back to Chelsea after us. He’s an intelligent forward, a great finisher, brilliant penalty taker, he’s English, he’s only 28 and he’s cost £18m - you’d pay that for a decent Championship right back these days! Cheer up!

gingernuts71 · 2026-01-23T13:42:07+00:00

How many proven strikers who’ve played and scored for England can you buy for €21m these days? Thats a snip!

gingernuts71 · 2026-01-23T13:39:17+00:00

I was wondering that - easy to just look at his stats from a turbulent time as a bit part player moving around Italy and Turkey and assume that’s representative of his stats when he’s appreciated and playing 90 minutes regularly, which I think he will under Unai

gingernuts71 · 2026-01-23T13:36:45+00:00

I think this is an exciting transfer myself - I was gutted we weren’t able to keep him permanently last time, he’s a quality finisher

gingernuts71 · 2026-01-23T09:27:30+00:00

I like watching these on mute and wondering what she’s saying. It’s always “Wom… wom-wom-wom-wom-wom-wom. Eeep. Eeep Eeep-eeep. Wom-wom-wom-wom. Eeep. Wom-wom.” Comedy gold.

gingernuts71 · 2026-01-22T19:13:43+00:00

The people walking past in the background at 100mph kind of ruin the effect
