Nice one. I have a fair bit of Lego but the biggest piece I own by brick count I think is Concorde (that was built over a couple of days and i'm a fairly quick builder).

Possibly also why the council (probably Cheshire East there) haven't been in a rush to get them down as to do it safely you'd probably need to shut a lane of it and crawl a cherry picker along it.

This is the thing with where some of them have gone up. e.g. there is a stretch of the A34 I use where they put them up for a 1/4 mile in the central reservation of a national limit dual carriageway. Might've been a bit of an issue had the ladder slipped etc.

I saw a photo posted someone took from a distance of them being put up around Portwood in Stockport. They were using ladders.

It's basically now the tobacco industry

Yeah, that's not so good.

Probably deserves the sack just for that jumper tbh.

As someone who used to like the occasional punt (never money I was arsed about losing) I swear the bricks and mortar shops only exist in the Internet age for those bloody awful fixed odds terminals that seem like lamps to problem gambling moths.

The classic 'leggy up'. Not seen that done for a while.

Yes, but I only ever got one to swear.

The problem with food/confectionery nostalgia is people forget the stuff that mostly hasn't been around since you were a kid usually disappeared from the shelves for a reason.

That's probably not even fancy dress in Portland.

Either that or the traditional approach of a late night group brainstorm with a few drinks and quite a lot of marching powder.

And people wonder how 'crazed loner shooters' are made.

Facebook mods: this is all fine

I was more hoping it was going to be a nod to Family Guy and he was following them playing a tuba.

Cats are psychopathic dickheads and we love them for it.

Happy pre-birthday!

He is basically an even dumber version of a Jack Russell these days.

The 'can the bat be tested' one is fantastic. Do they expect the person to stick their head in the nearest cave and shout "if one of you lot did this then can you please own up and come forward?"

I always feel like an imposter there as I don't own a dog.

(adds to list for if I ever form a death metal band and am struggling for a name)

I like to picture that book tucked into a nice roomy first class seat deciding on whether to have the fish or the beef for dinner whilst sipping a glass of finest champagne.

Context matters here. Is he/she talking about their own husband or is it a question aimed at someone else who is married?

'it's God's will', but don't ever question that it might seem a bit messed up.

I really do wonder if there is some insider trading angle to these grand announcements and about-turns that are making markets flip violently back and forth.

Binned it completely at the end of last year and never once was I tempted to log back in during the cooling off period. Much like when I sacked off Facebook a couple of years prior, I have zero regrets.
