awh I do miss indoor smoking; it gave the shit food a unique flavour! And who doesn’t love a sticky wall?

- Comment on Ofcom to ban inflation-linked mid-contract price rises on phones, pay-TV and broadband 4 months ago:
Since when have they ever been fucking “inflation-linked”??? Other than the inflation that affects yacht prices for their CEOs, these greedy fucks just want to nick whatever cash they can get and fuck the rest. Arseholes.

Reckon he’ll be the guy who buys the NHS next, or will that be some other wealth hoarding pre-corpse?

Glad there’s literally nothing more important that our dickhead politician class could be working on 👍

Fuck right off
- Comment on Tate & Lyle's Golden Syrup rebrand drops dead lion 8 months ago:
Well at least now Tate & Lyle’s Golden Syrup is more likely to go viral on X or TikTok, which is exactly what I look for when I’m buying golden syrup.
- Comment on ‘Hard month’ for pubs as UK’s dry January set to be driest ever 9 months ago:
I bloody love a good night out, but I am really not a fan of being rinsed. I know it’s London prices and whatever, but the closest pub to me is £6.70 for a pint that isn’t Carling, and something nuts like £8 for a double voddy. Couple that with a pack of cigs (£15) and maybe a cheeky little kebab at the end of the night (£10) and you’re looking at an easy £75 - £100 for one fun night.
It’s rough, because I really do love to socialise. Nowadays I don’t drink or smoke for the first half of the year because they’re too expensive as habits. If I want to go out in the evening to wind down after work and catch up with friends, I don’t want to pay £20 to sit in the pub for an hour or two and then go home - but I can’t reasonably afford to do much more than that – so sod the whole thing.

What a total shock! I really thought Rishi was being honest when he said Rosebank would benefit young people, and I’m even more stunned that the King’s Speech wasn’t totally accurate. Wow!
- Comment on Not that difficult to buy a home in UK, claims NatWest chair 10 months ago:
I guess, personally, I just feel like a lot of these incredibly rich and obviously out of touch old men are just totally irrelevant to normal daily life for most people. It’s pointless to publish news like this, because it’s just obviously meant to rile people up in some vague way and I guess somehow that generates money for the Guardian?
I just don’t understand why we have to hear about what these irrelevant, hopefully soon-departed losers think. Who cares?
- Comment on Jeffrey Epstein: Prince Andrew named in newly released court files 10 months ago:
Wow, what a surprise! Looking forward to those well-deserved consequences that he’ll definitely be facing 👍
- Comment on Thank you for the news summaries... 10 months ago:
I don’t disagree with you, and I’d find it hard to comment on exactly how the digital marketing arm of the BBC works when it comes to view counts and how it affects their content. I was just clarifying for you what I thought OP meant.
I do agree that you’re not self-censoring by choosing to post things you think people will be interested in, though!
- Comment on Thank you for the news summaries... 10 months ago:
I think the gist is that OP felt like people visiting sites like BBC news were essentially providing their Marketing department with view counts, which they’d use to help guide them on what to report on or suppress, and feeding into censorship that way.

There’s a few French models, from what I’ve heard
- Comment on Disabled people must work from home to do ‘their duty’, says UK minister 11 months ago:
The Tories wouldn’t know an honest day of hard work or “doing their duty” if it came and bribed them to their faces. Scumbags.
Every time one of them says or does pretty much anything, it makes me wonder how on Earth anybody votes for these soulless freaks and weirdos. Ah well, at least nobody who’s put their penis in a dead pig’s mouth is in charge of anything, right? That’d be fucking mental.
- Comment on Sunak to use king’s speech to announce new system to award oil and gas licences 1 year ago:
Is the new system “slip me a couple million quid and you can do whatever you want”? Because if it is, that’s just the old system again
- Comment on Post Office to send and receive Evri and DPD parcels 1 year ago:
Yeah it’s really unusual, I’ve heard nothing but horror stories about Evri, and obviously about Hermes before them! Hermes were terrible for me, but for some reason any parcel I have through Evri turns up on time, and the drivers have been relatively nice - both down in London, and up in the Midlands! I’m sorry you’ve had such a nightmare with them though, bad delivery services are absolutely infuriating!
- Comment on NHS hit by ‘severe drug shortages’ due to Brexit red tape 1 year ago:
nah I was just wondering lol
- Comment on Post Office to send and receive Evri and DPD parcels 1 year ago:
DPD and Evri have both been fairly reliable for me. I hope, given the conjoined past of the Royal Mail and the Post Office, that those two fairly reliable options don’t get completely Royal Mailed and stop working. Every time I see a delivery is being carried out by Royal Mail, I know it’s going to either be days late, or not show up at all until I wander down to the sorting office. They are completely useless – not that it’s the fault of posties, it’s (as almost always) the fault of the incompetent, cynical, money-hungry management tier. Filthy!

- Comment on Wednesday Whinge - 25th October 2023 1 year ago:
I had a really sore throat last week, but it started to get much better by Thursday/Friday. I had plans on Friday and Saturday night, so went out. My throat is now as sore as it was last week again.
- Comment on 1,000,000 children living in most extreme poverty as figure almost trebles since 2017, report finds 1 year ago:
Why do you think we have seen the number of hungry children triple since 2017, if it isn’t the government that has been in power for the past decade plus?
- Comment on Judges to rule on whether tenants in England have right to keep a pet 1 year ago:
Surely it should be a case of “do what you want in your flat as long as you don’t cause damage”? What’s the issue? Landlords are such fannies.

- Comment on ‘It’s organised looting’: UK in grip of a shoplifting epidemic, say store owners 1 year ago:
Those gates are so fucking stupid. They barely work, usually one of the two actual gates doesn’t open, and the gates stay open long enough that multiple people can just walk through. I kinda really hate having to prove I’ve just paid for the things I’ve just overpaid for.
- Comment on ‘It’s organised looting’: UK in grip of a shoplifting epidemic, say store owners 1 year ago:
I worked out last night that the points program in my local pub means I have to buy 33 drinks if I want a free drink of equivalent price. That’s daylight fuckin robbery mate
- Comment on Wednesday Whinge - 12 September 2023 1 year ago:
This thread made me think it was Wednesday only to excitedly look at the calendar and realise that no, the weekend is still three agonisingly long days away. Consider this a pre-Wednesday whinge.
