The only bit that is not โ€˜a bit of an animalโ€™ is the shrink-wrapped polyurethane condom they wrap the shit* in (*actual shit might be nicer).

A civilisation that contains destitute poor as well as billionaires is an abject failure. A civilisation that contains trillionaires is one that will soon collapse. You've all been warned, many times, by many people, and yet here we fucking are.

Does it matter how well they have done compared to little Tommy who sits next to them? GCSEs are scored based on "comparable outcomes" so you know how your kid/s have performed compared to the entire nation's cohort. Isn't that good enough for you?

I don't recall writing this, but surely it's me, right?

Do you not dare. Mushy peas are pure green Ambrosia. And the cheaper ones the better when buying from a supermarket.

I tend to agree โ€“ I don't dislike them, but they are not an upgrade, just an alternative. It's like a chippy asking you if you want to upgrade your mushy peas to curry sauce.

Back in the day (when training for a half marathon), I'd have a heavy Friday night, do an eight mile run then next morning, then immediately go for a 20 mile bike ride, then back out again for another session on the Saturday night. Not saying I am proud of this, but I might be a little bit. ๐Ÿ˜€

That's what I was thinking. Do not clap when the plane lands people.

Came here expecting to see this. Keep up the good work.

You do know there was a Christmas last year. And the one before that? Hell, I remember at least 50 of them!

Someone I know was left a house by the person they befriended. So you never know...

Still not worked it out then?

You havenโ€™t worked it out yet, have you?

He so is (and I hate to admit it, being a huge Fawlty Towers / Monty Python fan).

Absolutely! And expect the unexpected ๐Ÿ˜‚

This is what I was going to say. With some notable exceptions (such as Spike Milligan), comedians are usually very boring. Yes John Cleese, I am talking to you.

They donโ€™t care - you are a nobody, doing nobody things. You are just an emotional black hole and nobody will care when you have gone. Enjoy your dinner and emotional-free blowjob from her for her free dinner.

Further thoughtโ€ฆ (as I am stood waiting for a train). You get โ€œonโ€ the train, but you get โ€œinโ€ a carriage ๐Ÿคฏ

I am sure that Bruce, and all his millions, doesn't doesn't give a damn.

Aaaand....

When an instance is simply named as "a vehicle" (e.g., "Where are you?" "I'm in/on a vehicle"), the common and accepted preposition in English is in because, in everyday language, when most people think of a generic "vehicle," they visualize a car, which uses the preposition "in."

It was for me too :)

I did not know the answer so I Googled it โ€“ apparently it is "on" when you can get up and walk around (or when you are sat on top). Technically I guess you "could" walk around in the back of an ambulance, but "in" sounds better and further Googling appears to agree with that assumption.

19.11.2025 13:57 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

It should really say "in".

How can anyone (other than those as the very front) expect nobody to stand in front of them?
