Another time, I was on a train and Pete Postlethwaite sat down opposite me with another bloke. They sat there and chatted and maybe 5 stops later he asked me if this was Shrewsbury (or some other stop on the Marches line I don't remember exactly). I said "Yes it is", because it was.

Me and a colleague went to LA for some conference thing. We went to a few shops and wandered about. He said to me 'look, it's Tom Jones'. I turned around, and it was. He was looking at clothes with his Mrs.

If you want to take a wild trip to an alternate universe, interlock your fingers but with the other thumb on top. It's really strange.

Gardeners: Oh look, a lovely butterfly!
Also gardeners: Bloody caterpillars!

It's great for women and society (to have people doing what they want to do not what society thinks) but it's a massive problem economically as we have fewer people doing work to pay for more older people's pensions. We do not yet have a solution for that.

Any leader who drops a nuke should volunteer to go and live in the area.

These posts are also worthless. A retained discussion of how he could do better would be a lot more interesting.

America had to be marketed in the 19th century, this might be related.

How strange.

Cars were much dirtier then as well, and they also spewed lead everywhere. If you go back to ancient primitive societies they were breathing in loads of smoke all the time because they didn't have chimneys in their houses. Two steps forwards, one step back.

A lot of toxins were introduced during the industrial revolution where in cities and towns air quality was far worse than it is now. Wood and coal smoke are significant pollutants and everyone was using them to heat their homes. Factories and mines produced horrendous pollution.

Don't look up.

This is fake. Everyone knows there are THREE steps to heaven.

I think we need all of it.

Including this one 🤦‍♂️

A good point but I've never seen anyone do that! I suppose YAML is easier to type out...

I wish I could change the Alexa wake phrase to "Simon says...."

Mm. As always, shouting on social media is a lot easier than running a fucked up country.

So, in a democracy you give voters what they don't want, right?

Not without developing some new cars....

I worked in the Netherlands in 2016 and on the first day they said "So, Brexit..." and I ranted at them for 10 minutes.

Not for long lol

I have recently read a few things that say Chamberlain did what he had to do at the time and actually played his hand well.

You can keep spare batteries charged that you can use to recharge your rechargeable electronics.

On the other hand, I hate buying stuff to throw in landfill all the time. Or even recycle. Why make little metal chemical capsules to ship energy around on a truck when it already comes to your house through wires?

This language is spoken by people visiting dentists.

Wow American society really does revolve around dominance and violence.
