  1. They can't get enough of those ezee -roll-castors in Austria. No worries about the runway not being long enough this time though.

    General Election 2024?

    I'm publishing that quiz things results, where's the democracy in that? Reform are evil and get a voice? I demand our voice is heard. Disgusted of Tunbridge Wells.

    You can't win in a debate with Binface. Never going to happen, it's the very definition of lose lose. And that's assuming his policies aren't actually better than yours, which they may well be. And were, when I answered that questionaire!
  5. I thought the bingo box thing was a wee bit disingenuous really, possibly as with others of this type many of them are for humourous purposes. It just seems to list everything that might be said, that doesn't necessarily mean it's invalid though, merely that it might be said. The implication is that by being listed it is invalid which I think is unproven. Still it was quite amusing nonetheless. Also, I've no idea of the proportion of any sexual subset in society, but there seems to be a high correlation of non-straight, attracted to deathpooling simply because the posters on this site of non (normal? straight? cis? whatever word) seem to me to be way higher than I meet in genpop. Though of course there may be any number of things influencing that, not least that genpop doesnt wear badges. Before I get jumped on this is merely a curiosity really, not a complaint (find that in your boxes :)).

    Doctor Who

    Long overdue thread for Time Lords discussion. It really shouldn't be overdue, lets face it, if one can time travel that ought not to happen. ETA: Don't get me wrong I was a huge fan of Asimov and Clarke as a teenager and am still quite fond of Ronald D Moores' reboot of Battlestar Galactica, at least until it got stupidly spiritual/religious towards the end, not to mention Stagate SG1 which is an absolute riot in places. It's just that as an adult I never got Dr Who. Maybe I should have, but it is what it is.

    Colditz

    Actually I'm really just taking the piss out of a profession I have no conception of. Aside from some period pieces and by that I mean periods a lot earlier than mid c20th isn't it just put some clothes on? I wasn't really serious mate, I could always go and look it up I suppose in the time honoured "let me google that for you" fashion .

    Ok, this might be dumb, but, in what way are the costumes of a historical nazi prison going to change for either the inmates or the guards over the course of whatever actual time period a tv season might cover? I admit I'm handicapped by not knowing what a costume designer really does, but lets ignore that for the time being.

    Vote for whatever the hell you like, that's the point! The fact that we may not like it is neither here nor there. In fact.... If we all liked the same things this would all be over in a day. Just be prepared that some of us are going to have an opinion about it and voice the same. But that's just joking really. (I also appreciate that it's hard enough to tell what is serious and what is not from the written comments here even if English is your first language. So - much harder when it isn't)

    Have an extra like here. . Don't start me on the iniquities of Council Tax. Just don't. I'll settle for a couple of points to get it off my chest. Check out the cheapest council tax in the country it's massively less than you pay (clue, you probably can't buy a house there). How 'fair' is that? Potholes, I cycle a bit as well as drive a car, so get shouted at 'I pay my road tax' a fair bit. Yes you do sir, but it doesn't go on the roads, nor does the fuel duty, nor the VAT on the fuel duty. You know who pays for the potholes to be fixed? The local council....who get none of that money.

    And now if she insists on standing for labour will apparently be doing it naked. This is not a picture I wished in my head tbh.

    Donald J Trump

    He's a self serving cunt of the highest order. Anyone who cannot see that is a fucking idiot. I don't know how many ways there are to put this, we're fucked that anyone votes for him. As a slight aside - American gun laws kill hundreds or even thousands of people a year. If you defend any of that? You're barking and shouldn't be allowed to vote. I despair sometimes. It's not that complicated.

    Ok, That's it, He's now a bang to rights proven felony cunt. Like we didn't know before . And still it will somehow continue. World has lost the plot. I give up.

    Maybe so. But you got to love him, he's tried and improved over his time here. Cannot seriously diss someone who tries that hard. So many don't. But yes, room to improve further on the 'that's interesting' basis. (don't we all? Well I do :P).

    Diane Abbott

    It is absolutely critical we get rid of the Tories and by as wide a margin as possible. Absolutely everything else should take a back seat. As with yourself this is just an opinion, but Abbott really is 'making this all about her' (again, in my opinion). It's a massive distraction, and whether or not she's 'a bit of a loon' can only harm the overall competence picture. To be honest, Labour should have just left her alone (rightly or wrongly), it'd be quieter.
