Real England

reports giving impression that her plea is more 'cba with a trial' than 'guilty'

Enjoyed the little detail at the end of this:

Magistrates heard that police only became aware of the collision on 16 May because Way tweeted "definitely knocked a cyclist off his bike earlier. I have right of way - he doesn't even pay road tax!" using the hashtag #bloodycyclists afterwards.

The cyclist, Toby Hockley, suffered bruising and minor damage to his bike in the incident, near the village of Rockland All Saints, Norfolk.

Way was ordered to pay a £337 fine and £300 in costs, and was given seven points on her licence.

She said in court: "The tweet was spur of the moment. It was ridiculous and stupid and I apologise to all cyclists. It is the biggest regret of my life so far."

Way refused to comment as she left court, saying she had signed an exclusive television deal.

the next biggest regret of her life so far

Hope her first name is Rita

like to imagine a TV-ideas-pitching freelance desperado with a lightbulb above his head, the glow increasing as he ponders the surname Way and the phrse "right of way"

that was an xp but they can coexist imho

I'm a Celebrity Get Out of My Way

Fagg, 56, of Redgeland Rise, St Leonards, was due in Crawley Magistrates’ Court today to enter pleas to three counts.

He is charged on August 22 with harassment.

The specifics of this offence are “for approximately three years you have regularly called and visited the office of Holden and co solicitors and then in August 2013 you began to attend the offices leaving notes on the window and shouting outside the offices.

“On August 22 you then attended the offices and committed criminal damage by throwing fish entrails and sour milk on the carpet.

“On August 23 you attended the offices and poured a brown substance over the front windows of the offices.

“On August 28 you sent an abusive letter to Jolyon Holden and on September 11 after being arrested and bailed for this harassment you left a threatening message on the answer phone of the offices.”

It must be said, we are a nation rich in brown substances.

How much of that could one do and not get to the point of being charged with harrassment?

Supt Carl Edwards said: "Firstly, I'd like to stress that it isn't against the law to dress up as a clown.

"Nobody has been assaulted and it appears that the people involved are waiting for a passer-by to be startled by their appearance and run away, and then the clown runs after them for a short distance."

it is important to gain a perspective on these incidents

Interested to see clown loitering perhaps starting to go viral after the Northampton occurrences. Anticipating the growth of a new subculture.

subculture shd die off pretty quick the first time one of these dorks startles somebody with a low tolerance for being startled

I must say I have a lot of love for the kind of institutional stairwell pictured in that last shot. Prefer them to be unsullied by Space Raiders / M&Ms / unspecified slop obv.

I particularly love when pubs which have been decorated as traditional pubs on the ground floor of 60s / 70s developments but the wood-pannelled door marked "toilets" opens to a stairwell / corridor in this precise style, St Bride's Tavern off New Bridge Street being a particularly good example.

unspecified slop looks like blood to me, no doubt spilled in a Space Raiders vs M&Ms beef

Maybe more Real Britannia than specifically England but Iceland's attempts at hors d'oeuvres made me thing of this thread.

Yes, that is a fish finger with a single chip embedded in mushy peas.

Also their attempts to help us navigate the minefield that is choosing wine for a party:

That Iceland stuff makes me think that a PR agency has persuaded them to chase some 'ironic hipster food' buzz.

They had paper cones of chips as hors d'oeurves a few years ago and probably looked at trend reports to come to that decision.

The fish finger/pea/chip tower sounds delicious tbh.

i've had them, they're alright

Similar thing happened last year iirc. Santa's Grotto was said to be staffed by young, thin men is a good line.

iirc the similar event last year had a profoundly Real England photoset to go along with it.

actually I was thinking of one from a few years back, but: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/shared/spl/hi/pop_ups/08/uk_lapland_new_forest/html/1.stm

Oh yeah that's the one I was thinking of. Photo 5 is great.

Yeah, guy looking sullen in a The North Face cagoule = none more Real England

this is just the gift that keeps on giving.

documenting grime seems to have enervated the thread. no such problems for this guy, who has got an eye for provincial peculiarities worthy of jonathan meades

The traffic light section of his website seems much too extensive to not have been created in earnest.

oh wow thats fantastic

is the guy doing a "bit"?

It doesn't look like it.

The tube train sim on the website is very enjoyable.

oh my lord

A REALLY. NICE. 70S. EVANS.

this guy is like a far-cheerier kindred spirit of dan wilson who had those amazing resonance fm shows and is so completely unknown by anyone else I fear I might have dreamt him entirely

his videos remind me of the early first person shoot-em-up games.
