Can confirm stupid talking toilet is for first class virgin passengers also. Have mastered the art of not pissing between Glasgow Central and moorgate so as to avoid the innocent smoothies of toilets.

Believe me, having a carriage full of stupid drunken Aston Villa fans celebrating a 1-1 draw away at Preston North End all the way down to Birmingham New Street beats the annoyance of any talking toilet.

An argument about some cats
We've got 4 cats and they are very well fed and loved. It would be better if you don't feed them thanks. The vet advised that it's perfectly ok that cats go outside in the winter so don't let it upset you. They live here and it's very distressing for us all when they go missing.— AngelCakeLIVERPOOL (@angelcakepics) January 3, 2019

I cant tell how many people are in this argument about cats, but one of them is followed by Jamie Carragher and another one is followed by Neville Southall

I promise you Sidmouth can offer no Real England: a Sidmouth fatberg will be composed of carefully curated heritage fats and traditional wet wipes. There is just no Real England there, not even the King of Chit.

the Real England icing on this cake would be him finding out he's just got a much longer sentence than some dastardly repeat offender paedo or someone who actually succeeded at homicide but managed to wangle involuntary manslaughter.

The rapper has no links to Newhaven and, while they have yet to formally respond to Stevens, the council said they have “no idea who Eazy-E is.”Deputy mayor Graham Amy added: “I’ve lived all of my life in Newhaven and I’ve never heard of him, not a clue. I’m 72 years old and more of a Beatles fan than anything. If I had my way I would have statues to them around the town.” Stevens responded by saying The Beatles “suck”.

Respect to The Argus for using the correct amount of asterisks to cover Real Muthaphuckkin G's, but with the best will in the world, 1988 was not in the early ‘90s, and Eazy-E does not appear even on the 12” of Express Yourself.

"Other Newhaven residents previously branded the campaign a waste of time. Mr Stevens said: “It’s better than nothing which is pretty much all Newhaven has."

Peter & the Test Tube Babies apparently from Peacehaven rather than Newhaven, not that there's a lot of difference tbh

shittest thing about peacehaven is that it's a seaside town with zero access to the sea unless your house falls off the cliff
― goats eat grandma (NickB), Wednesday, 20 February 2019 19:54 (five years ago) link
xp Peter is from Peacehaven but they met at school in Newhaven and practised there when they started, I think that's close enough

posted elsewhere, belongs here, found while rereading "the lore and language of schoolchildren by iona and peter opie":
for 200 yrs (until the 1950s) 25 July was called GROTTO DAY and londoners ate oysters and the children built little shrines with the shells and asked passersby "penny for the grotto"
― mark s, Monday, 25 February 2019 13:30 (five years ago) link
it was then taken over by the Macmillan government and became the National Grotto

Was it worth while watching that? This really makes me go want to see it.
― Uptown VONC (Le Bateau Ivre), Monday, 25 February 2019 16:05 (five years ago) link
Definitely worth watching, some really clunky acting but its a classic. The camera just loves that terrible architecture and town planning of 70's Kidderminster that you almost expect Ian Nairn to walk into shot!

It's a great film - Donald Sumpter is tremendous in it.

yes when I said clunky acting i didn't mean his fine performance.
― calzino, Monday, 25 February 2019 19:23 (five years ago) link
it's almost got a comic dimension to it - his deadly serious fastidious planning, the bottle of ammonia taped to his torch etc.. but when it comes to the job he's an absolutely hopeless bungling idiot time after time!
