You shouldn't laugh but...

Auditions for the reboot of Byker Grove got out of hand.

somewhere in the north I see, I assume it's always like that

when I lived in the north-east the Chronicle would regularly publish an article every few years about how the Raby was under new management and was now a pleasant place to drink/shaking off its bad reputation etc, gland to see this tradition continues

For years though, it had a reputation no pub craved. Violence and drugs were par for the course

not seeing what they're getting at here

the horse fight was the funnier of the two though, needs the soundtrack of a Three Stooges short dubbed over it

A former teacher has been found not guilty of animal cruelty after video footage showed her kicking and slapping a horse.

A yoga class was cut short after a member of the public called the police to report a “mass killing” after seeing several people lying on the floor.

Participants in the class, which was being held at the Seascape café, inside the North Sea observatory in Chapel St Leonards, Skegness, Lincolnshire, were in the midst of meditation when officers turned up on Wednesday night.

A group of men wearing Nazi military uniforms had to be escorted from a 1940s celebration "for their own safety", organisers said.

They were wearing German SS outfits and were asked to leave the event in Sheringham, Norfolk, after complaints.

after complaints that some of the SS insignia on display "lacked authenticity"

I've always wondered about the UK predilection for dressing up as WWII Germans.. didn't Prince Harry do something like that?

Seems like it's a long-running trope

As a trope it's just the ultimate edgelord move - remember when ppl like Brian Jones or Sid Vicious flirted with that shit they were the sons of the generation that literally fought Hitler. With Prince Harry it was at a "natives and colonizers" party, so edgelordery of a different stripe.

"You don't want Nazism or fascism at an event to celebrate and commemorate... what life was like in Britain at the time."

Unless you're talking about the Channel Islands of course

i'm always torn in these situations on account of councillors and property developers both being a set of cunts

"The Nazis were out of order but at least you knew where you were with them"

At least they stood up for what they believed in.

"an act of vandalism"???

what happened to throwing shopping carts into a creek?

tiktok alreaady full of people throwing shopping carts in creeks

Real England = roaming tree vengeance lynch mobs

the first I heard about this story was through seeing a typically cuntish Dan Jarvis tweet, with a quite witty reply suggesting his local Labour council should be at the top of the suspects list.

well local = S Yorkshire

popular trees have frequently got disappeared in shadows and fog in Sheffield

unfortunately we don't have shopping carts or creeks in England, so there are very few options left for youth apart from chainsawing beloved trees

never heard of this supposedly iconic tree before now.

I guess the pictures look vaguely familiar but I've never watched that Robin Hood movie so

I'm not saying it wasn't cuntish to chop it down but some of the performative wailing about it makes a pretty grim counterpoint to the reactions when e.g. a boatload of refugees drown

Agreed. It's like the crooked pub all over again.

Cutting down a tree is a rotten thing to do, but as calzino pointed out, councils are the worst offenders in that regard. In fact didn't a council recently go on a psychotic tree felling rampage? I think it was Plymouth, just around the time mark s moved there... uh, hold on, no connection I hope...

The battle over Sheffield’s street trees began in 2012 when the council signed a 25-year contract with the outsourcing firm Amey, which included the removal and replacement of 17,500 street trees.

How the "chainsaw massacre" started in Sheffield.

PFI's

What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing, uhh

There was a bit of sadness in my timeline (a couple were being sarcastic) around midday with some anger. I think the assumption was that person was a Tory-like evil. Landlord behaviour.

A few hours later it's a 16 year old so there's a bit of...amusement. The calls for murder are muted. People don't know how to take it.

Expect some essays on substack about this.

It's getting fucking silly now:

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/sep/29/public-urged-not-to-take-branches-from-sycamore-gap-tree-as-souvenirs

Members of the public have been urged not to try to take branches from the felled Sycamore Gap tree as souvenirs. Some visitors have been caught by police attempting to take pieces of the tree, which belongs to the National Trust

Who fucking cares? It's just a load of bold sticks and branches now

Otto Van Tull from nearby Durham said it was “a sign of society falling apart”.

“It’s the same category as teenagers stabbing each other."

Like really? Fucking pillock

old not bold

a sad reminder to tell our trees we love them while they're still alive

i know it's still alive don't @ me

A candlelit vigil is being organised by local people and expected to take place at the weekend

cue wildfire

Minutes silence at EPL games this weekend or gtf

I do actually have a longheld desire to see football pitches being rewilded, 100 young sycamore planted at each ground, think how much better the game would be with players having to jump roots and dodge trunks, not to mention having a few wild boar trotting about in the undergrowth. This is surely the moment for it, would be a lovely gesture by the EPL

that vigil in detail:
