New bus lanes have caught me out before in my old home town. Grandfather Rights don't apply when it comes to traffic restrictions

That's nothing. My schoolmate is heartbroken thanks to his granddaughter. He's a bit of a train buff and his Granddaughter just told him 'trains are boring'.

Things move fast on here. Was 'Are You Being Served' a Trojan Horse designed to stop people voting for the Liberals? If we play its theme tune backwards does it spill the beans on Jeremy Thorpe?

Ask your GP. A few years ago I downloaded my medical history and it had vaccinations going back 60+ years. Apparently I had MMR but that must have been after I had measles (MMR introduced 1968, my measles was around '65 when we were in our first house)

My late Uncle's WWII army experiences were reflected in his later life, including what he did with food left over from Sunday lunch. He was a dab hand at Monday lunchtime bubble-n- squeak, which he interpreted as mashed up leftover Sunday spuds mixed with cabbage and heated/browned in the frying pan

I dunno, it must be brutal because the normally uber-polite Canadians dropped multiple f-bombs yesterday after their team member fingered the granite. Perhaps this overhyped AI shit should be put to work decoding what the teams are really saying to each other when they utter apparently banal phrases

An excellent device. In 2019 mine transported me back to 1982 when I briefly worked with a multi slide show setup using AVL dissolve equipment and 1985 when my then boss handed me two IBM PC-XTs and told me to 'manage them'. Extracting the AVL diskette images and recreating the code was fascinating

Golden syrup? Sounds like a dream from Eastenders

"Moderna's CEO announced the company will no longer invest in new Phase 3 vaccine trials for infectious diseases: 'You cannot make a return on investment if you don't have access to the U.S. market. Vaccines for Epstein-Barr virus, herpes, and shingles have been shelved.” 9:12 AM Feb 12, 2026 604.8K Views

In terms of what cures are being lost:

- Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis
- herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis
- shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease

Seeing the Orange Wankpuffin receive an award-shaped prostate massage from coal lobbyists then rule that greenhouse gas isn't a thing, tells me that greenhouse gases and climate change are a real threat

It's like going to a kid's birthday party and needing to pick up any old trash to keep them from falling onto the carpet in hysterics

That's quite a find and worth noting for all designers

Ukraine's Vladyslav Heraskevych out of Winter Olympics over banned helmet honoring war dead Ukrainian skeleton racer Vladyslav Heraskevych is out of the Milan Cortina Games after he refusesd to stop wearing a banned tribute helmet.

Ukrainian skeleton racer Vladyslav Heraskevych is out of the Winter Olympics over a banned helmet honoring athletes killed in the war with Russia.

She daren't look at them because she's a coward and it might shatter her greedy, warped and cultish view of the world

The Manson Family has been put in the shade by these cultists

I remember one of my fellow students coming back from lunch one day with his newly bought ZX80 clutched in his hands and displaying it as if he'd won a gold medal. I must admit that its significance totally passed me by

😀

Asimov wrote a short fantasy story early in his career called 'Time Pussy'. It covered the subject of an alien 'feline' that existed in four dimensions. Perhaps those competitors are similar. They arrive at the finish before they start and plan which moves to make based on what has already occurred

Nena sang about such a scenario '99 Red Balloons' in 1984. She feared that an incompetent warmonger would mistake kids' balloons for a nuclear attack. Having sacked many competent DoD folk this government has made such an overreaction more likely

Today Oat, tomorrow Shakespeare, with 'The Milk Of Human Kindness' possibly being outlawed. Future attacks could be: 'of Magnesia', Milky Way & snooker's Robert Milkins

Pam Bondi just laughed when asked if she would apologize to Epstein Survivors.

We clean up like that when one of the kids plus their family is thundering up the motorway intending to stay a couple of nights. The areas under the cellar hatch and next to the attic hatch are usually crammed with randomly loaded cardboard boxes, that never really get unpacked

McIVER: Do you consider yourself a religious man?

LYONS: Yes mam

McIVER: How do you think judgment day will work for you with so much blood on your hands?

LYONS: I'm not going to entertain that question


McIVER: Do you think you're going to hell, Mr Lyons?

🤣

My wife has a good chuckle at the small urchin squad presumably standing by to retrieve flowers and teddy bears thrown onto the ice. They're like an extra emergency service

Have they declared their Zyklon B budget?

I still think of 10-30 as 'closing time'. I guess I wasn't drinking in the years when opening hours were extended, because I remember going out for a pint after work and being laughed at when I suggested at around 10-15 that we just had time for one more
