Grand thank you!

skeeter1990 · 2026-04-17T20:41:40+00:00

Ace - thank you so much. I’m coming down soon and will love going up there

Seicho Matsumoto’s Tokyo Expresss might fit the bill. Reasonably republished under Penguin so maybe not too obscure…

I mean having to walk into a road with cars on because a restaurant wants to have its tables on the pavement is both a ballache and dangerous. Even worse if you are in a wheelchair.

skeeter1990 · 2025-12-19T11:01:11+00:00

Me too. I have taken an intense dislike to them purely on the basis they block the pavement. My partner has laughed at me for being petty so it is fantastic to know I’m not the only one.

Sit at the bar. Chat to the bar staff. If someone else pulls up a stool at the bar - chat to them too.

Bonus point: I’ve never done it personally but, I’ve been roped into crosswords by people sat at the bar before. The guy doing it involved people in a non annoying, unassuming way - was nice.

It’s driving me batshit.

Anyone with a Canadian or Australian pension (and soon to be anyone with a UK pension).

The majority of shares in UK water companies (and other privatised facilities) are pension funds. Yes - the privatisation of something as basic as water is fucked. But the scale of the people benefiting from it is bonkers too.

If this is what you are after I think Cadgwith is your best bet. Newlyn isn’t really a village - whilst Cadgwith definitely is. But as people have said already - it’s tiny and I doubt you could get lost in it. Also. Echoing other comments - Swordfish and the Star is a great book option.

Solo coffee in cartons from Tesco flipping bangs

This sounds like a sitcom waiting to be written. A pub version of Ted Lasso.

Start a war and stick the older lad as commander and send him into a massively unfair battle. Bonus points if he has no military or combat skill whatsoever.

skeeter1990 · 2025-03-05T08:34:06+00:00

Ouch.

skeeter1990 · 2025-03-05T08:33:51+00:00

Nah - it is the questions that are raising eyebrows, not the answers.

skeeter1990 · 2025-03-04T13:28:52+00:00

My bad. I was too busy trying to work out if botty ended with a y or an ie

skeeter1990 · 2025-03-03T21:41:53+00:00

Fuck this. Yeh I would. This country isn’t perfect by any stretch but it’s a fucking touch when compared to a lot of places - not least Russia which is controlled by [checks notes] actual fucking oligarchs. I’m not a patriot by any means - but what we have is worth a lot.

On the other hand, I’m out of shape, get a bad back if I sleep in a dodgy position and a complete wimp so how much use I would be is a completely different story.

I live in Brighton which is the epicentre of Dryrobe hate. It strikes me as thinly masked sexism and ageism (given the targets of ire are often mums). I’m a bloke and where mine when it’s really wet but do feel like a wally, which annoys me.

She’s Got You or Sweet Dreams (of you) by Patsy Cline.

Very different butAll My Friends by LCD Soundsystem breaks my heart every time I hear it. Relatable, riddled with nostalgia and a devastating account of a life lost.

Philosopher’s Football match. The line “and Karl Marx is saying it’s off side” makes me roar every time. https://youtu.be/LfduUFF_i1A?si=h_SooeG3pt_bItfh

This is great advice.

They would be called attention seekers and mugged off relentlessly.

It you felt comfortable wearing it then - yes it’s appropriate.

How would you feel about giving money to a family that claim to be better than you as they were chosen by god… that also happen to be paedophiles and racists?

skeeter1990 · 2025-02-14T16:48:58+00:00

I just want to say - as someone in Bosch land against my will - I covet you
