- Comment on Jeremy Clarkson shares worrying Diddly Squat update after UK heatwave 16 hours ago:
Quite probably, but there’s a big gap between the two. I think sometimes we forget how much of a cunt Piers Morgan actually is.

“Where did all these heatwaves come from?” Asks man who spent decades promoting polluting vehicles
- Comment on Take-Two CEO Says We'll All Be Streaming Our Games In 3 Years 2 days ago:
I have enough unplayed and uncompleted games in my Steam account to last until the end of the universe.
I won’t be streaming games in three years.
- Comment on Good Morning 3 days ago:
I just looked at a picture of cocoa pebbles, and I have to say they look delicious - but yeah, likewise, I don’t think I could eat that for breakfast, but it probably makes a lovely dessert :)
- Comment on Good Morning 3 days ago:
I think that’s what American breakfast cereal looks like.
- Comment on ‘It is British life’: No 10 vows to stop councils trying to limit standing in pubs 4 days ago:
Historically, “bars” which had almost no seating or tables, and nowhere to even put your drink down for a second, meant that people kept their drink in hand all the time, which meant they’d finish a pint in 15 minutes instead of 30 minutes - so after 2 hours, 8 pints in, the bar had made a tidy profit, and the fully shitfaced customer would stagger down to the kebab shop, start a fight and then throw up on their own shoes.
By comparison, a pub, with chairs and tables, people would drink half as much in the same time period, and perhaps be less likely to engage in the kebab shop fight/vomit situation.
I think that’s what they’re getting at - which I can sort of see, but making it all “table service only” sounds silly though. Just give them some little shelves round the walls and columns to put their drinks down on.
- Comment on Man, this new human chatbot is great. Way better than the computer ones. 1 week ago:
“Have you ever noticed how the drains round here constantly get blocked and release sewer smells onto the street”?
“Ooh, there’s that weird smell again… I wonder where that came from?”
“That factory down the road needs to stop venting that stuff into the air”
“Eew, I hate that smell when the air conditioning’s filter breaks”
“*sniff* I guess the farmers are spraying fertiliser again”
“That’s odd - does this hammer smell like farts to you?”

It says its an Oak Tree, but I think it’s actually just Michael Craig-Martin’s glass of water.

Star Trek 55? Have they released a whole load of films without me realising?
- Comment on [Video] British granny in a wheelchair escorted by a gang of police officers for supporting Palestine Action, risking a 14 year prison sentence for supporting terrorism. 1 week ago:
It takes twelve of them to wheel a nana out does it? Fucking joke. What an absolute waste of resources. You can’t get one to turn up to a burglary or assault up here, but they’ve got twelve spare to piss around wheeling a nana about because she might have hurt poor ickle Israel’s feelings.
- Comment on No further action against Zack Polanski over guillotine re-post, police say 1 week ago:
‘he re-posted a photo of a man wearing a T-shirt with an image of a guillotine and the slogan “we’re only making plans for Nigel”.’‘he re-posted an album of photos from an event, of which one of the photos of a group of people included one person who was wearing a T-shirt with an image of a guillotine and the slogan “we’re only making plans for Nigel”.’
- Comment on Day 743 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 1 week ago:
It was originally made with NPCs in it, which made it play better as a single player game - but they took them out and focused on multiplayer (amongst other stuff) for… 10-15 years…
As in your case, I think 10-15 years ago, I probably had enough game-playing friends and enough “lack of responsibilities” to play multiplayer things (before it had any multiplayer) but not nowadays.
There have been a few reasonable NPC mods over the years (and probably there still is?) - but we’re still waiting for NPCs to be put back in “properly”.
In theory, version 43 is the NPC one, which I’m looking forward to.
- Comment on Barclays spots a chance to profit from extreme weather crisis 1 week ago:
… but if you splash a bit of paint on their windows, you’re a terrorist, apparently.
- Comment on Why don’t Gen Z buy rounds in the pub? 1 week ago:
If you’re out with four people, if you’re doing rounds, you’ve got to have four pints if everyone’s putting in equally.
If you only want two or three pints, you can’t buy rounds.
The government (or was it the NHS or someone?) says we’re not allowed to have four pints, because that’s now binge drinking.
So we only have two or three nowadays. So we don’t buy rounds.
- Comment on Blow to NHS as Royal Mail raises prices for bulk users by a third 2 weeks ago:
Don’t worry, I’m sure the privatisation will bring costs down… any minute now. Vince Cable says so.
I’m sure their core of “high quality investors” will be along to sort it out any minute now, won’t they Mr Cable? You lying sack of shit.
- Comment on Train drivers in Great Britain consider strike action over lack of toilets 2 weeks ago:
You think that’s fancy? One of the stations I go past has a vending machine. Imagine that? Chocolate on demand!
- Comment on Train drivers in Great Britain consider strike action over lack of toilets 2 weeks ago:
Larger stations normally have toilets - but they’re not necessarily in working order, and the odds are they’re not on the “platform side” of the ticket barriers, so maybe a 5 or more minute walk to get to.
Quite often the train is only in these terminus stations for 5 minutes.
Smaller stations in-between are normally just two platforms and a bridge to get to the other side.
- Comment on Train drivers in Great Britain consider strike action over lack of toilets 2 weeks ago:
I fully support them on this. Nobody should be forced to piss in a bottle or shit in a carrier bag at work these days. I’m surprised this is the first we’ve heard of this.
- Comment on Labour overtakes Reform in voter poll for first time since March 2025 2 weeks ago:
It would be such a shame if they all fought each other and backstabbed over the leadership and either outed each others arrestable crimes or split off and formed a few more of their own splinter parties.

- Comment on Palestine Action activists face being sentenced as terrorists over bank damage 2 weeks ago:
Why are the windows at Barclays so expensive? You’d think a bank would be good at managing money, but here they are buying windows for £50,000 each.
- Comment on Labour overtakes Reform in voter poll for first time since March 2025 2 weeks ago:
Their problem is likely finding a replacement who could sustain a year or so of attention without anyone finding something incriminating.
There’s a lot of fraudsters, traitors, sex offenders, public and loud racists/homophobes/sexists on their books.
- Comment on Police officer calls trans protestor ‘pink-haired thing’ in accidental bodycam recording 2 weeks ago:
Initially I thought “What?”, but the report seems to clarify that someone allegedly swerved to deliberately run over a pigeon, then reversed back to beat the pigeon to death with a walking stick, in front of the entrance to a “pigeon-friendly” vegan food shop. Someone reported this as “potential animal abuse” to the police. I imagine the police ignored them or told them to fuck off, hence the small protest.
- Comment on Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas remasters are officially in the works 3 weeks ago:
I wish they’d remaster them in the style of Fallout 2, or Wasteland 2 or 3.
- Comment on Mocking regional accents is last form of acceptable discrimination, says MP 3 weeks ago:
It’s true. I remember at school, some kids got bullied for putting their school bags on both shoulders, as the “cool way” was to put it on one shoulder, and sort of hold it on with your hand. “Oi! Two straps! Kick 'is head in!”.
With that in mind:
^ look at this guy with a little picture next to his name. Who does he think he is?
Oi, picture name! What are you doing with that fancy picture in your name? Do you think you’re better than us?
- Comment on Mocking regional accents is last form of acceptable discrimination, says MP 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, but that’s only because the people that live on the other side of the river, half a mile away from where I live, are inbred, swivel-eyed, six-fingered, web-footed mutants who talk in ridiculous “wrong side of the river” accents.
When they say the word “road”, the “o” sound lasts 0.1 seconds longer than when we say it. “Ooh, look at me, I’m from the wrong side of the river and I’m walking down a rooad”. Pricks.
- Comment on \*levitates ur frog\* 3 weeks ago:
He wants you to think that, but actually he stole them from Xerox.
- Comment on Mocking regional accents is last form of acceptable discrimination, says MP 3 weeks ago:
I think it should be okay to mock the accents of anyone whose accent is more Southern than yours.
When it gets down to Cornwall, it wraps back round and they can mock the accents of Shetland and Orkney.
Then it’s all fair.
- Comment on Man arrested over social media post threatening to shoot Farage 3 weeks ago:
Are we still okay to say things like “Nigel Farage should be Trebucheted into the sea” or “I wouldn’t be upset if Nigel Farage ended up being guillotined”?
- Comment on Britons urged to take ‘small steps’ to prepare for potential national crises 3 weeks ago:
I think it was partially covered under “wokeness”, but you’re right, it should have had its own section, higher up the list.
- Comment on Fake football shirts worth £5.5m seized in one of UK’s biggest counterfeiting raids 3 weeks ago:
I can buy a real one for about £50. Why would I want to buy a fake one for £5,500,000? It’s not worth that at all.
