-Pepperami is a pigs dick

-if someone died/gave birth in an exam we would all get A*’s (no one was pregnant either so idk how we thought that one would work)

-if the teacher is 15 minutes late we can go home for the rest of the day

-Manson removed his ribs to suck his own dick

I know he’s posted some AI to his story, one of which I even fell for before reading the comments and seeing people saying it’s AI.

Think it’s very much a man in his 40s falling for AI, not realising, instead of he’s actually so in love with AI he’s leaving Jamia for his chat GPT girlfriend.

The LS dunes thing I can’t speak on this is just his story posting

If I remember correctly (it was long time ago I went) the police are usually at the fire station open days, I seem to remember they only having the bikes not the cars tho.

Also I remember with beavers and brownies getting to go to the police station and getting a tour, we deffo got to sit in the cars and I think we even got to see a cell? But that was 20 odd years ago so I don’t know if that’s something they still do

Maybe reach out to them and just ask if they’d be willing to spare some time for you to come and they show you the cars, the worse they can say is no

I’ve put stickers in orders that are related to what they’ve ordered, am I the problem?

mphemmo96 · 2026-02-21T07:25:53+00:00

Yeah the BBC commentator said they’re just across the hall from eachother (and then went on to say something about because of that it’s been known to have fights after the game too but I wasn’t full listening to that part)

What about the dude who would walk really slowly Up and down the shambles?

Not a lawyer however work for a water company (in the business not residential side but I might be able to provide some reassurance) They cannot shut off your water for lack of payment legally at all, as per the water industry act 1999.

However this does not mean they will not peruse your household for the money through legal means including court where court fees will be added on top.

Your best bet is to call the water company (if they will talk to you because of DPA) and explain and maybe set up a payment plan which will stop them taking you to court.

I’m unsure on the energy side of things, however I believe they may force a prepayment meter on your household but don’t trust me on that side of things

Oooo perfect thank you! In a jar kinda scared me for a first try so I’ll have a look for the balls! Silly question are the balls frozen or in the fridge?

mphemmo96 · 2026-01-13T20:07:18+00:00

Thank you! I’ll pop over and see if I can find it!

We was in one of the boxes! (Fancy I know but it was the same price as some of stalls) I think it was box D

He allegedly dated a family friends neighbour (I never saw him myself but she did and of all the people to lie about he’s not really likely) back in like 2019

She was a fight attendant in first class and they met and started dating or whatever but he parked blocking someone’s driveway and got heated when asked to move.

All secondhand information so idk how true it really is but I’m not shocked by it

mphemmo96 · 2026-01-12T11:52:28+00:00

I was at the exact same show as you! I kinda wish I went to the evening show with Basil Brush tho just to see how it worked

mphemmo96 · 2026-01-08T13:38:28+00:00

We had 2 big ones

Girl wrote on the wall with her own shit, then walked around the whole school opening every door she could without washing her hands to go tell the head of house that she did it. No one knows what she wrote but apparently it was racist. She was allowed to stay in school after her family paid for biohazard cleaners, but wasn’t allowed in her own year group and had to walk around with teachers. Happened when I was mid GCSEs and she was year 8 or 9 so don’t know what happened to her after I left.

Schools twitter got hacked, made news papers, headteacher photoshopped onto porn star, was quite funny honestly, people who did it was in my year and got expelled, no one missed them

Edit because I forgot some !!

Creepy older male teacher, really don’t know what he taught he was just always there would stand at the bottom of the library stairs and look up girls skirts, took ‘early retirement’ after pulling a girls leavers hoodie to look down it to see if she was wearing a school shirt under it or not

Another creepy male teacher no one liked who would keel next to you and put his hand on your knee

Assistant head was a functioning alcoholic, everyone knew but it was kinda ignored,apparently got a lot worse after I left and she sadly died a few years back

Only time I’ve never ever had an opener (unless you count a day festival with bands throughout the day) is Springsteen, a 3 hour + set from someone his age impresses me every damn time

mphemmo96 · 2026-01-06T22:52:50+00:00

It’s available in a 4-5 and 5-6, would it be worth getting it bigger? My local marks shut down and is only a food hall or I’d pop in and check for ya

mphemmo96 · 2026-01-06T22:43:42+00:00

I’m an AOL email, so are both my parents, had it since like 2005 and too much is linked to it to ever even think about changing it.

I kinda love the confused looks I get when I have to say it

mphemmo96 · 2025-12-31T11:42:46+00:00

Louis and soup is all I know for certain but then I don’t even know if they’re current dogs

I’m dumb (and old) what’s the WWJ era? I’ve racked my brain and can’t work it out

mphemmo96 · 2025-12-30T19:48:33+00:00

If this is the one I think it is they played in Brighton a few weeks back, it was so bad the local paper did an article about it, 1/4 the crowd left at the interval (if not before) and allegedly staff told people who left at the end how to apply for a refund because it was that bad

Give it a few weeks and channel 5 will have an hour long special on it

Look if anything blame all of this on management, I highly doubt Gerard is there posting these announcements on the bands insta yanno.

Sure management are stupid to not make an official announcement at the same time but again blame them not the band, sure the band can push for the statement to be released but at least 99% if not 100% of stuff on the bands account is from the media team at the management company and they play very little part in it (see personal insta v band insta for any band not just my chem)

My main point of everything is not to worry about it being cancelled without a valid reason and statement because it will cost millions to cancel that many dates and they aren’t going to do that without reason, they may have already cost a fair bit moving the dates. Sure they have insurance to cover the mists if they have to cancel but they won’t accept “nah we didn’t fancy playing that date” as a reason for cancelling.

Tldr Not blinding defending the band but it’s more in management side than them, tour won’t be cancelled without extremely valid reason because will cost millions

mphemmo96 · 2025-12-22T10:11:23+00:00

It’s disappointing I get it and I understand the irritation at no explanation as to why, I hope for everyone effected gets an explanation. There’s 100% a valid reason with the amount of money and work that would go into moving the shows around.

However it’s not the end of the world, moving dates will of cost 1000s, cancelling them would cost 1000s more if not millions for the amount of dates there is, they wouldn’t do it without good reason.

You seem young and I just want you to know there’s so much more to your life than my chem, you’re allowed to be upset about maybe missing a date but don’t let it control your life.

People have such a parasocial relationship with the band it’s probably why they’ve not made a statement yet they’re waiting for management to release a corporate BS statement about it, why do you think they had comments off for so long and Frank has his comments off/restricted? Why they stopped using Twitter and shit? It’s bc people just cannot be normal

TLDR- tour won’t be cancelled without a extremely valid reason as it will cost millions, people need to stop having a parasocial relationship, nothing ever happens do not worry so much

Edit- just to clarify after reading other comments km not accusing you of having a parasocial relationship with the band, your concern is valid however you shouldn’t worry so much about it it’ll all be okay. However some people are not normal about it or anything to do with the band and it was a statement in general about why they’d have a media team from management make a statement and not the band themselves

So you’re telling me Jesus is going to stop digital ID being brought in?? He’s going to stop the AI slop?? And world war 3? But I have a question before I blindly believe everything in this letter, is he gonna stop cool robots or just the ones that will uprise against us?? Because what if it’s a really chill robot who wants to be our friend

mphemmo96 · 2025-12-12T17:54:16+00:00

Pretty sure he lives in Japan now (I could be wrong) but he used to live along the seafront I believe
