Embarrassed myself in our local a few months ago. It was a noisy bar with football on in the background, and I was being served by a (not unattractive) young barmaid, who I know fairly well. I ordered my beer, and as she was pouring, over the noise she said:
"Fancy a quicky ?"
"I'm sorry ?"
Do...
Could've done without that dreadful pap of a song being played out in its entirety at the end - truly disturbing echoes of DJ Locadia, which sent icecubes tumbling down my spine.
But I agree he seems a very lovely chap, and I'm sure must get on with Bloom like a house on fire what with the...
I was behind some bloke in a queue at the supermarket the other week with all his shopping on the belt, when he decided to slope off to get some MORE shopping while we all stood there waiting. I dumped all his stuff back in a basket and booted it under the till, inconsiderate sod.
Then whaddya...
I'm not disagreeing with your thrust @Triggaar, you make a lot of salient points. I said earlier that we absolutely should stand up to Putin and back Ukraine, he cannot be allowed to ride roughshod over a sovereign nation, as we've all seen how that can escalate.
And I'm not saying that we are...
Putin is a sociopath, who has absolutely no qualms about drafting and sending in thousands of his civilians into the meat-grinder at the battlefront. I don't think he would differentiate between British / US missiles hitting military or civiilan targets inside Russia tbh - the fact is, Russian...
I don't disagree with that reasoning. But you are assuming that Putin would see it the same way, when right now he is receiving British and American missiles inside Russian territory. Add in the fact that we don't really control exactly where Ukraine are lobbing them, and its an all-new...
I've watched the first 6, got the latest one downloaded for tonight. It really is excellent.
Something I've noticed though is the ADS. First 2-3 episodes they're manageable. but once they know you're hooked, f*ck me do they pepper you. I'm quite adept now at going x30 to fast-forward it and...
Not yet, but this is a very recent escalation.
I agree, along with the other NATO nations we should absolutely continue to help Ukraine defend itself. But its going beyond that now - we are actively helping Ukraine to go on the attack and retaliate. There is a difference.
I'm not saying I...
No.
But I'm not talking about whether it would be 'justified' or not. We're dealing with an unpredictable crackpot dictator who at the moment is seeing British missiles pummelling his country. In his head, that might justify putting us in the crosshairs. An attack on a NATO nation would be a...
Yes, Russia invaded its neighbour and we have been helping them fight them off (and now counterattack them with long range missiles). In Putin's eyes this invasion, this war, is entirely justified. It doesn't matter what the World perception is over its unjustified invasion of a sovereign...
Well I'm no expert, but I'm feeling unsettled. It doesn't have to be nuclear to be devastating.
Imagine if a foreign nation (say...Belarus) began launching interballistic missiles from their country into England - missiles which were directly supplied by the Russians, and given the green light...
Yup. I stood in a P&R queue for the best part of an hour that night, absolutely drenched, and with what was basically a river running over my shoes. You reach a point where you just give up.
As for Satdee. I am SO GLAD I will be Firesticking it in my living room with a few beers. I have...
Terrific entertainment tonight. The contrived stitch-up with the two newbies enjoying some luxury, whilst pleading poverty to the other campmates is GENIUS. Me and the doris were snickering away at that.
I've followed Richard Coles on Twitter for a number of years, and he always comes across as...
