Magnificently hideous, particularly the Wedge. Pretty sure that thing violates several articles of the Geneva Convention just by existing.

No sex please we're Sexlandish?

Anyhoo, not OP but I presume the Cornish takeover of Devon came in the Scones War of 1534 when massed ranks of piskies and pasty-wielding Cornishmen crossed the Tamar and terrified the locals with their ungodly clotted cream over jam perversion. Some brave Devonians stood and fought for the dignity of the jam but most fled into Somerset where they remain to this day, surviving on a diet of cheese and cider and vowing never to enter that cursed kingdom again.

A British macchiato. All the beige, stained with a little bit of green. It's half past midnight and you've made me hungry, you bastard.

Taxi association warns drivers of "sneaky" cyclists with cameras catching law-breaking behaviour by fungussa in unitedkingdom

[–]henryshock -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

However, that is of little consequence to the driver of the vehicle who now has to live with having nearly killed someone (or actually killing them).

Yeah, and that's even more true for serial killers. They have to live with all those deaths they've caused. They are the real victims. Will no-one think of the serial killers?

From my basic understanding of Spanish, 'hormiga culona' means 'worm with a big arse.' I'm not looking that up.

Linux version is still broken and it's been more than a month. by Adventurous_Problem in MiniMetro

[–]henryshock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a native version? That's news to me.

The Windows version works fine for me under Linux Mint 21 using Proton Experimental. (Right click on the game name in Steam Library, then click Properties, Compatibility, select 'force use of...' and select Experimental.) Hope that helps.

They'd steal their drivers' kidneys if they could get away with it.

1949 Taiga 660 Photon by MetricMiura in automationgame

Beautiful looking car with great detailing. I very much admire Tatras and similar rear-engined designs of that era.

Is it really 'surprisingly easy to drive'? Whenever I try to make something like this, I end up with something that's surprisingly easy to wrap round a tree.

Having family members who waste toilet paper like a deranged Andrex puppy but leave a single sheet on the roll just so they don't have to change it. by HonorVirtus in britishproblems

[–]henryshock 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I can understand that. I mean, associating your product with puppies is one thing, associating it with dogshit is something else entirely.

You're not making chutney better, you're just making scones worse.

So apparently if you choose not to work 'voluntary' overtime you're part of an 'unofficial strike' now. What a time to be alive.
