I’d forgotten they did this with Charlotte Church. Christ.
- Comment on Beyond fucked up 1 day ago:
Cool, thank you for your valuable insight.
- Comment on Beyond fucked up 1 day ago:
This is grim, but those of us born in the 80s will remember how absolutely obsessed the media was with Britney Spears becoming “legal” and reporting on her virginity every chance they got.
- Comment on Retro StarCraft prizes 3 days ago:
I mined a couple of bitcoin on my mobile phone right at the very beginning.
Scratched my head, couldn’t see the point of it, especially as it made my phone hot.
So I deleted the app and the coins.
Sigh.
- Comment on Growing number of adults avoid booze, says NHS survey 6 days ago:
I’ve stopped drinking during the week, and cut down at the weekends. Went out last night and insisted on driving so I had a reason not to.
Mainly health reasons, I’m 42 and the pounds don’t fall off as quickly as they used to
- Comment on Price of average UK home passes £300,000 for first time, Halifax says 1 week ago:
Whilst this is horrifying, it still only really applies to anything south of Nottingham. With the exception of outliers like York and Leeds most of the Midlands and North is affordable.
- Comment on When you know your boss is an insane moron 1 week ago:
Or have a wank.
- Comment on Universal basic income needed to cushion blow from AI job losses, says UK minister 2 weeks ago:
UBI will never happen. There will be too many right wing grifting gammons like Farage, Lowe and Mogg who continually put it down
- Comment on Ex-Tory Home Secretary Braverman defects to Reform UK 2 weeks ago:
When “drain the swamp” starts to sound more and more ridiculous
- Comment on Ex-Tory Home Secretary Braverman defects to Reform UK 2 weeks ago:
Agree…
Farage and pals are totally hanging out of Putin’s arse and a lot of what they do and say will no doubt make him happy, especially when it comes to support for Ukraine.
Not sure which of their policies are the same as Putins though
- Comment on Ban phones throughout the school day, Phillipson tells teachers 2 weeks ago:
They already are banned in schools.
Difficulty is parents are arseholes and dont support the schools.
- Comment on Why Do We Keep Fretting About the Future of the Full English? 2 weeks ago:
It’s another thing for right wing grifters to get pointlessly upset about.
In the real world we dont give a shit if people eat them or not.
Personally, I love eating them. But as a 42 year old bloke who could do with losing some weight, I try and avoid them except once every few months.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
Explains a lot i guess
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
I’m not bothered about trying to get back now I’ve discovered Lemmy. I did try and evade the ban but they must have flagged hardware info. Despite registering with a VPN and fake email I got shadow banned immediately
My wife uses reddit so don’t want her getting caught up in the ban
- Comment on What's the best free version of word? 3 weeks ago:
You can probably get it cheaper, but I’ve used this site a few times and it’s never failed me
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
I got a life ban for saying idiots riding their motorbikes on pavements deserved a slap.
Reddit is shit.
- Comment on What are the limits to masked so called ICE agents? Are they just let off the hook and disobey laws while not identifying themselves? Why can't I be in the right by them stopping me first and shoot? 4 weeks ago:
The murder, yes we have seen. The rape though? Not heard that one
- Comment on If the protests in Iran win/topple the government what will it look like immediately afterwards? Also what would be the good or bad about installing a monarchy again? 4 weeks ago:
They won’t. There’s no precedent in that region of the world for what you’re suggesting.
It’ll start off with a noble idea but would, at best, end up looking like Russia.
- Comment on X could be banned in UK amid sexualised AI images concerns 5 weeks ago:
Musk needs to be prosecuted.
Hiding child porn behind a paywall? What the actual fuck.

Knives. Not knifes.
Ffs
- Comment on How much money should one person realistically make or have? 1 month ago:
I’m not bothered about the specifics, its the principal.
The money could all goto charity for all I care. Point is, no person on this planet should have that much wealth at the expense of others.
- Comment on Millions and millions and… 1 month ago:
Yeah you’re right I guess. For me buying or selling secondhand components has always been a massive pain in the arse. Sold a graphics card and the buyer wanted a warranty…
- Comment on Millions and millions and… 1 month ago:
Fair enough
- Comment on Millions and millions and… 1 month ago:
Nobody wants to buy secondhand RAM. Too big of a risk that it won’t work
- Comment on Days after Christmas are confusing 1 month ago:
It’s cheese week.
- Comment on How much money should one person realistically make or have? 1 month ago:
Agree. Billionaires shouldn’t exist.
Personally, every penny you have in money/assets/stocks over £1b is taxed at 100% in exchange you get a medal that says “I beat capitalism” and a statue.
- Comment on 2025 likely to be UK's hottest year on record, says Met Office 1 month ago:
Objectively, yes its needed. The reservoirs are back up to 100% now which is good.
The problem is its too much rain all at once. Used to be spread a bit more throughout the year. Plus its been very warm, until the cold snap started today I still had spring/summer flowers in my garden.
- Comment on 2025 likely to be UK's hottest year on record, says Met Office 1 month ago:
Its felt like it. And this winter has been shite, warm and wet. Its meant to be cold and dry.
- Comment on Reginald D Hunter: Judge quashes antisemitism case brought by Campaign Against Antisemitism 1 month ago:
Oh look, freedom of speech wins in the UK.
Where are all the right wing free speech dickheads now?
Oh yeah, the “perpetrator” is black and the “victim” is Jewish
- Comment on Where do British Christmas traditions really come from? 1 month ago:
This is why all performative shit right wing influences and reform politicians is doing is just utter nonsense.
