I'm not one of those people who are against sequels, but at the same time I'm not sure there were any questions left unanswered in 2069.

Laugh are one of the great lost Manchester bands. Their early beat band incarnation was a joy apart.

A TV tie-in paperback I paid Β£3.99 for two years ago, buy it now, free postage has just sold on eBay for Β£269.35 plus postage that's 50p shy of what I paid for my copy. Bonkers.

Do I know anyone on here who went to a British boys boarding school -preferably the elite kind- within the last 20 years? If that doesn't describe you then retweet this until somebody it does describe sees this.

Right you lot, I have a few spaces for Xmas commissions. They make great, bespoke pressies at all price points. I can stitch up & frame any of my designs, or create something new- a portrait of the pets, or granny’s favourite serial killers. Your shout. DM or email at 8bitnorthxstitch@gmail.com

People that complain about immigrants not speaking English are complaining about them learning English.

The group making a big deal about child protection is basically grown men loitering outside schools with cameras.

Utter trash.

Can you pass on the message to FCUM Radio that we can't let them know where we are* if they don't tell us how? Yelling it out in the kitchen doesn't seem to work.

Gmail can read your emails and attachments to train its AI, unless you opt out A new Gmail update may allow Google to use your private messages and attachments for AI training. Here's how to turn it off.

PSA for those of you using Google products. Yes, that star symbol in Gmail was bound to happen but you can stop them from using your data to feed their genAI "tools". www.malwarebytes.com/blog/news/20...

Fixed it for you. Idiots! If the exclusion is based on appearance then it will certainly impact cis folks as well as trans folks.

I hadn't realised/had forgotten that he redrew the stories for the collected edition. I only have the comic book to hand and in that the swim is broken down into smaller sections across various pages. I need to find the collection in the loft.

I was only aware of 'One Tin Soldier' through Killdozer's cover, so this tracks.
