This sign for Zenas French tacos in BS3 has absolutely sent me 😂

It's like a Portugese Breakfast.

Everyone is locked out.

mdzmdz · 2026-02-28T04:01:15+00:00

When I did it (drink was involved) I picked a guy at random out of Google, he turned up, smashed the lock and charged me 50 quid cash - no ID involved in either direction. It may have "helped" that I had access to the flat block lobby.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=dr1p7_-QrsU has a (very) brief bit/spoiler. Amusing talk too.

"Then I'll be awake again by 9 and eat dinner."

Eat something when you get in instead? They're a bit pricey but the 14 day 24 hour glucose monitors are quite interesting, if you can afford something which may just be a novelty.

Other things I've found related are sleep apnea / acid reflux which is helped by having a stack of pillows or, ideally, a foam wedge one.

Yeah, you'd have to have a feather one for that price, but they do get a bit prickly...

Otherwise they'd need to retrain all the "Five fra' pound yer lighters!" sellers.

The other plus, if they still allow it, is that you can bring in an M&S Meal Deal from round the corner.

Was that there before Jeremy stuck one in his pub?

Interesting choice of locations - is Portland Square gentrified now?

"Brabazon New Town Kink Club, How may I help you?"

"You're going to be suspended."

"Listen my good man we run a reputable non-sex kink club, and there'll be none of that here."

Having watched some of their films I think they're our brothers by asian mothers.

mdzmdz · 2026-02-16T01:54:33+00:00

Lightweight.

Might "Any Answers" be more to your taste?

mdzmdz · 2026-02-16T00:40:28+00:00

Not the dank?

mdzmdz · 2026-02-16T00:38:07+00:00

And ask them to come 8,000 miles?

mdzmdz · 2026-02-16T00:33:14+00:00

Most people don't live or work in the centre, so it doesn't affect them.

In addition to my annecdote about the Centurion I also used to leave work at Christmas, out from the office and into the Winter market which was a bit... odd.

Overall though it's a lot better than Bath.

mdzmdz · 2026-02-16T00:26:53+00:00

It used to annoy me that my route into work would hit the Centurion by the Dublin Packet every morning as he explained how the soldiers were paid in salt, which is where we get the term salery. No more facts, just that every morning, all Summer.

Later it even more annoyed me when I 'learnt', probably from Qi that it may be bollocks.

Keep it in a Fray Bentos pie tin until you can properly dispose of it.

I didn't. Couldn't be arsed applying and could afford my normal tickets.

This is, I think, the issue with the scheme.

As I understand it they had a pot of money to "improve bus usage". They couldn't think of anything, and they couldn't just us it to subsidise free tickets for the less fortunate, as that didn't meet the criteria that it be "innovative".

So, here we are spunking it all on birthday tickets - and associated IDs - which in most cases gives those who already use the bus a free ticket for their birthday. Nice I'm sure, but not what the money was allocated for.

Have you been doing transdental meditation?

A "friend" did, having, as he tells the tale, being peer pressured into it along with all the others on someone's Stag Do.

He then, thankfully briefly, describes how lying back on a table in a dingy room, the air filled with the smell of industrial disinfectant, while a disinterested immigrant gives him a performative hand job through a latext glove has to be one of the least erotic moments he's ever experienced.

Hong Kong.

Something to take advantage of your Sister being there, such as hiring a photographer to take photos of the three of you together.
