Some people have no shame

People who refer to mixed groups of men and women, or even groups of women as "Guys". Not sure where it came from but it is profoundly irritating.

I find his anti Scouse comments from the past somewhat difficult to put out of my mind.

I dont know much about boxing but I was hoping he would get battered.

Rachel Riley tshirt anytime now...

If you showed that to a Tory voter they wouldnt read it, but if they duid it would be "but Corbyn..........."

It gives me a weekend off worrying about LFC, so I'll take that small win..

We have white floor tiles in the kitchen so if I wore my outdoor footwear indoors I would find myself in a difficult domestic situation fairly quickly.

This is about it really.

That was depressing reading really. I think the Labour slogan heading to the next election will be "Vote Labour, Dont worry, We're Like The Tories, But Not As Bad"

They do, I wouldnt disagree, I was just saying that when it is a relative some people may feel duty bound to help, even if they may know deep down they are being had over. That said, I hope you stuck a pool cue up his arse at a later date.

Thats the pragmatic, "sensible" view, and I arrived there in my situation after many years. But it still hurts, and you feel guilty no matter how much you rationalise it because you didnt help someone, even though you know you were being had over.

The late "Mrs Dog"...Beth.....

I always liked those episodes of "Dog" where he would gather his team together and say "we goin after somebody dangerous.....armed....a desperado", then they would pull up in the Hummer he would get out in his Scorpions Roadie gear, they would knock on the door and Charles Hawtrey would walk out.

we probably wont.

The phrase I keep seeing regarding Johnson and the fact that he is a lying cunt is that it is "priced in", so its expected.....

Weaponising your children is the worst in the world. And you can guarantee the kids are miserable too, but thats not important in these games.

I have a family member who I had to take a similar stance with, I lent lots of money, none of it back, its further complicated by the fact that he is a substance abuser, but after a while I just said "these arent loans, you just steal from me, because you have no intention of paying me back, you just lie to get the dough". He was of course appalled by this and called me all the silly bastards under the sun, but I said "you can keep what you have had but no more, for my own self respect I cant let you keep taking the piss out of me, we are done". Hes not happy, and I realise I have probably just moved the problem along, but I just couldnt go there anymore. I tried the budgeting approach with him yonks ago, but he wasnt having any. I realise thats not much help, but its not just you and you arent wrong to resent it.

The Asda advert with "More Than A Feeling" playing over it. No idea what its about.

Understand that. Enjoy the trip and the book. Never done the Eurostar I'll give it a go soon.

Thats on my kindle waiting to get read. Hes written some good stuff Hastings. I dont do half bottles though.

A few years ago now Mrs RiB was out late in the car coming home from a do. She was flagged down by what appeared to be a copper and asked to "step out of the car". She declined, and as he stepped back she drove off. She told me when she got home what had gone on, we thought well if its a proper copper we will get a summons or something and we will have a go round about it. As it was we got nothing, and in hindsight should have reported it. She would have battered him anyway.

The Fewm Bole

I think thats the point they are making...every time there is a shooting they print this article verbatim and just change the location. Its a satirical magazine ( apologies if you knew that)

From "The Onion" ISLA VISTA, CA—In the days following a violent rampage in southern California in which a lone attacker killed seven individuals, including himself, and seriously injured over a dozen others, citizens living in the only country where this kind of mass killing routinely occurs reportedly concluded Tuesday that there was no way to prevent the massacre from taking place. “This was a terrible tragedy, but sometimes these things just happen and there’s nothing anyone can do to stop them,” said North Carolina resident Samuel Wipper, echoing sentiments expressed by tens of millions of individuals who reside in a nation where over half of the world’s deadliest mass shootings have occurred in the past 50 years and whose citizens are 20 times more likely to die of gun violence than those of other developed nations. “It’s a shame, but what can we do? There really wasn’t anything that was going to keep this guy from snapping and killing a lot of people if that’s what he really wanted.” At press time, residents of the only economically advanced nation in the world where roughly two mass shootings have occurred every month for the past five years were referring to themselves and their situation as “helpless.”
