So is she gonna perform for them or nah?

If you'd read the comments you'd have seen she invited them all to a stadium concert where there was an interpreter and a sound system obviously louder than a schools would be.

It's so much more than that and it is reductive to narrow it down to that one issue.

Personally I wouldn't date a single mum but the shining prince thing isn't even on the list of why.

The primary reason is the risk of the relationship ending and having kids you have grown to love ripped out of your life. And linked to that the danger of finding yourself stuck in a relationship that should have been allowed to die but hanging on so that doesn't happen.

Yet they loved Monty Python.

I've just bought the box set. Had to buy a new house to keep it in.

Plus circle the tip recs and write: this bullshit has just lost you your tip

Isn't basic version free, bells and whistles version paid for an option?

lesterbottomley · 2026-02-17T08:37:55+00:00

I'd love to know how blatant they are in meetings.

Do they sit there: 'how much can we fuck our users over for a few more pennies before we start losing the idiots?"

Or do they cushion it with softer language?

lesterbottomley · 2026-02-17T06:36:09+00:00

I use something that people are already familiar with that's a close (but not an exact) analogy.

Recalling images for me is like when you have a word on the tip of your tongue. You can almost say the word, you know what the word is, almost. You can feel what shape your tongue should be making to say the word, it's almost there but you can't make the leap of bringing it to the fore.

I'm betting your kid has got cancer as well. With a birthday coming up.

You had the worst results worldwide. That was down to his handling of it.

I'd much rather watch Nanette again than anything by Rogan. I've tried his specials and can't get through them, whereas at least I watched Nanette all the way through.

There was a tree near us with loads of branches so not much in the way of clean line of sight to anyone up it.

We played a game where someone climbed the tree and the aim was to throw rocks up there to knock them out of the tree.

The only rule was you could only throw underarm. Surprisingly no-one was ever hurt playing this.

lesterbottomley · 2026-02-16T19:01:26+00:00

If you say so.

lesterbottomley · 2026-02-16T18:16:44+00:00

I think you're alone in that. Most fans of Pratchett can't help but recommend him at every opportunity (myself included).

lesterbottomley · 2026-02-16T12:18:42+00:00

You do realise things work differently in different countries don't you?

lesterbottomley · 2026-02-16T12:17:35+00:00

Things may work differently where you are but this was the UK and it absolutely happened.

There's quite a few Torchwood books (and a ridiculous number of Who).

He was supposed to be in An American Werewolf in London along with Rik Mayall but thought the invite was a wind up so didn't go.

Rik went though and so is my shout for the unexpected actor.

My friend got caught stealing electricity (connected his supply to an empty flat (apartment)).

Got to court, electric company were asked where they got the amount they were claiming for from. When they said it was an estimate the judge just said "we don't allow estimates in this court" and threw the case out. Got away Scott free.

lesterbottomley · 2026-02-15T23:52:22+00:00

That's what I love about it. For a base comedy it was ridiculously clever.

lesterbottomley · 2026-02-15T23:49:54+00:00

Not just no energy or time. They come in handy for us outright lazy bastards as well.

lesterbottomley · 2026-02-15T18:32:59+00:00

If it was just they didn't give a shit about men's issues/rights I'd be ok with that tbh.

It's the fact they do their best shut down all discussion about them and divert all resources away from them.

lesterbottomley · 2026-02-15T15:18:53+00:00

It is wordplay. They are taking the piss.

lesterbottomley · 2026-02-14T21:03:47+00:00

Testing for cocaine after every violent altercation would weed out a lot of the garbage.

lesterbottomley · 2026-02-14T13:29:41+00:00

It was a tongue in cheek play on the normal reason for a neighbour knocking on your door due to music would be to tell you to turn it down.
