En Passant

State of Indeepindanse. With apologies to Donna Summer and Camille Saint-Saëns.

This cracked me up at the time. And, as with all truly durable comedy, just did so again. ETA. also.

In honesty time I'm not much of a football fan, but you cannot avoid it in this country, I've been to a couple of Arsenal home games ages ago. Most of my friends are Spurs fans though, so I find it hard to get out of the take the piss mindset even here.

The view of the latest post to this thread is a lot quicker than trawling through the news sites to see whether a second wave has arrived...

Following the great tradition of their most successful manager as mentioned in the Domesday Book.....

This. Submitted according to the idea it's a UK list. I have nothing against our US based members but enough of the internet is dominated by them already (and many other things too, films, tv shows, software yada yada). I fear that overall the result will still favour inclusion of US notables simply on the basis of the 5/1 population disparity even though that isn't completely reflected hereabouts. In fact I wasn't going to bother submitting at all due to being mostly a drive-by poster and only occasional entrant to pools I felt others opinions should carry more weight than mine, but since mine is a UK view and I worry about the above population based disparity I sent it anyway.

No, that was Nat King Cole.

My bold. This implies there is more than one such forum. I'm mildly, though not utterly, surprised that there is such a site* but that there might be more than one does raise a quizzical eyebrow. As to being banned from anywhere (barring a kids site) for "holy shit" never mind somewhere that it's a key line from the subject matter of your sites very existence..... Fuck em, idiots. *Thread #1 Good film The Warriors what are your favourite parts? Thread #2 um.......

Not only for you

There are so many cases of injustice against African Americans I admit I don't exactly know why this one is the straw that broke the donkeys back. Perhaps it's simply because people are pent up from the covid lockdowns that have simply added yet more disparity to that which was pre-existing. That doesn't distract from the fact that Americas' overall record on race discrimination is utterly appalling whichever way you view it. It's more a wonder this doesn't happen week in week out than that it happened now. Not that the UK is exactly on the moral high ground here.

Not at all, if I were eloquent and patient enough I'd have said exactly the same, its the tip of that iceberg that I was responding to in the first place

Fundraising page? I know gambling might be considered a disease but sheesh the blokes earned and blown more money.... 'Best friend' Lineker coughed up a whole grand (euro's at that) from his 1M+ a year licence fee payer salary (pounds). Still, if you're concerned he'd just stick it on the 3:30 at Kempton Park I can see the reasoning. Don't wish the health thing on him though of course.

Edge of Darkness. The series not the film (barf). you can get it on a site called Daily Motion or something like that with a brief search. Unmissable even 35 years on. But you've presumably seen it. I can't imagine anyone liking chernobyl and not liking it but you never know. The Expanse is on Prime, and was mentioned by GCreptile a while ago iirc. It's sci-fi mind you, but not cowboys and indians in space like star wars or for kids like DrWho (ducks, very very, very low). Get The West Wing somehow or other unless you've already seen it. American, sure, nevertheless one of the best things ever made imo. Same The Wire, but that's drugs (at least in part) so probably a no-no besides you can't fail to know about it. The Hour, is on Prime, british, historical, about tv news people. gillian anderson in the Fall, also on prime. Prime suspect ish i suppose. The Newsroom but not sure where its on. Aaron Sorkin again, like the first 3 or so series of the west wing. Westworld is on now tv i think, sci-fi again (sort of, no spaceship malarkey), series 1 is good, s2 first half then it drifted off for me, s3 much better. only my opinion mind and guess from that anyone could chuck more of the same my way too was going to go back and format all that neatly. cba. sue me.

I don't. I believe in the principle of a publicly funded broadcaster but not this shower for a long long while. You got a like anyway cause the rest is bang on my confirmation bias radar.

https://www.gov.uk/driving-eyesight-rules From which: "You must be able to read (with glasses or contact lenses, if necessary) a car number plate made after 1 September 2001 from 20 metres." So Dom, find a car number plate (oh look there's one on your car) and a tape measure (or pace it out). Save a 30 mile trip, for which "You could be prosecuted if you drive without meeting the standards of vision for driving." So "Let me see if I'm safe to drive 260 miles by driving 30 as a test with possibly defective vision" is actually illegal. And if you're not safe, a 30 mile version of Deathrace 2000 as a test does not cut it even if there was no fucking corona virus you utter cunt. Fuck me, much as I hate little richardjohn: you couldn't make it up.
