Text from the article "The guitarist also cited the band’s collaboration with Ed Sheeran in his decision, saying the it felt like “foolish clown antics”." Shocked woman meme with text "their what?"

Stuck our heads into the reopened Library Bar, formerly of The Central Hotel, now of The Hoxton. Only stayed for a minute but the feeling we got was it's been poshed up into a soulless version of it's former self. Cocktails and oysters in an overlit room.

Mr Bean goes to the burns ward.

Years later I discovered that en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermos... were a thing that landlords could have installed to stop this, but didn't.

I lived in more than one rented places with a Death Shower. If someone in another part of the building flushed a toilet you'd have about 7 seconds to get the hell out as the water pressure dropped and you'd hear a sound like boiling coming from the unit and scalding hot steam water would spit out.

No, but I would rather not tempt anyone, especially as it was clearly labelled boxes of wine. Anyway, all safe and sound inside... to tempt me!

I'm home 99% of the time and it's usually the same lad so he probably assumed I was there. I'm more annoyed that the apparent system to defer a delivery just does nothing.

Told DPD to reschedule a delivery. They completely ignored me and left 3 boxes of wine outside the house. Someone could have had a very happy Xmas at my expense. Amazing they'll dead drop alcohol without verification of an adult.

The only day I'll be in the office this month and every single outstanding delivery suddenly decides today is the day they want to arrive.

(Checks poem) 4 is for a boy.

Only if he also has to do 3001. A book so awful it had a foreword saying, "Look, I didn't steal the conclusion from Independence Day." It also has raptors.

Well, they do owe a lot of their success to "the bank of Mum and Dad".

Bland International Airport nails it on multiple levels.

Don't be tempted to come back on the 2nd. You might think it will be an easy day with most people still off.. but there is always some fecker who'll schedule a 9am meeting to "kickoff the year the way we intend to continue". Stay warm in your bed for a few more days...you earned it!

Doing my strategic xmas holiday planning. For 6 days of holidays I can have 22nd-5th off. Almost 2 weeks without having to turn on the work laptop. I might even make a dent in my Steam backlog (or procrastinate on what to play for the entire 13 days before realising it is time to go back).

Just saw Bitcoin is almost 17 years old. Not long before the libertarians start losing interest in it.

They forgot their guns.

A friend worked in Vicar St... said they'd find confetti for months after any time Flaming Lips played.

Worst? In a world where Ed Sheeran still has to answer for his crimes?

Xbox360 Just got a "you up?" text from Leonardo DiCaprio.

This may very well be an accurate representation of the "modern software stack".

Just saw Liam Gallagher signs off his tweets with LG and I'm never going to be able to look at my TV the same again.

It depends on support etc. Could be anywhere between 8pm or 9pm when the main band come on. Usually the promoter or the 3arena themselves posts times on various social networks (but rarely this one).

And we'll be boycotting the world cup if they don't right? Right?

Going to shit out a bad photoshop of The Fugitive poster with Enoch Burke slapped in and rake in the 🤣 on Facebook. Hopefully I've not been beaten to it.

There's an opportunity for some company board to be truly revolutionary and ditch their high paid CEO and replace them with ChatGPT. Y'all think AI is so good... go do it! Think of the stock bump! The Street will love it! Goooooo ooonnn!

Check your attic for a data center. We recently got our attic checked, and they found a whole Microsoft Azure up there.

You can now submit feedback on the Irish Right to Request Remote Work legislation. Demand some real requirements for refusals to requests. There is currently no consequences for companies making up any old junk as a reason. enterprise.gov.ie/en/consultat...

Considering my entire Steam friends list was on Arc Raiders I broke my "don't spend more than 20 bucks on a video game rule". I fully expect it to dramatically drop in the Steam charts as everyone immediately loses interest in it on hearing I've bought it. #videogames

After the third time they've fallen over I have given up.
