I’m not 100% sure of the name, but it’s close and it’s very much a thing. The ones I’ve serendipitously read all seem to feature nice young ladies, no men, late teens to mid-20s, with completed or ongoing university education, so I presume it’s not their idea to advertise in a magazine.

Of course it doesn’t explicitly say it’s a personal ad, that would be uncouth. Instead it gives a general picture of the lady, and also an outline of her family. Presumably interested parents and aunties can contact the magazine and ask their children’s profile be forwarded to the family.

You could do with hoovering the shite out the drawer divider though.

Might want to check for unwanted lodgers as well. Cutlery tends to be clean when put in the divider, so that detritus is either from the drawer top, from users’ hands, from random crumbs, or from something dropping it behind…

Surely Town and Country is more fun, with the awkward personal ads that overly keen parents take out for their spinster 20-something daughters, poor things.

Friend, it sounds like a mental barrier more than a physical one. It’s not just about the (probably immense) drag created by your self-professed simian body hair: it’s about how much you want this, it’s about your hunger for glory, and perhaps your fear of success.

Commit fully to the challenge. Consider shaving your legs (and possibly arms if it’s that plentiful) as your personal Rubicon. Show yourself that you are willing to push to whatever length to get this, and unlock the power of a fully committed mind and body.

I thought these weren’t as problematic as gas or coal burning facilities?

Even when it’s 50 degrees here, the question won’t be how can we fix the environment it’ll be can we turn the air con up?

Also: why is food increasingly scarce and expensive? Why are petrol prices up? Can we stop wildfires in urban areas?

And of course a chorus of (expletives) will blame the Labour Party for all of the above.

I’d give it a go with the plastic board if that’s what you have. Could also shave your body hair, and get aero socks and shoe covers. Those are relatively affordable marginal gains opportunities. A freshly waxed and broken-in chain and regreased bearings would help too, and making sure wheel is true and taut.

Beautiful design. I’m irked at how the headlines aren’t really describing what the graph is saying. Records haven’t just been broken, they’ve being absolutely smashed for 12 months straight.

I was riding with a go pro strapped to my chest for a long time, then realised the hassle of dealing with the battery wasn’t worth it unless it was a special occasion like certain holidays or festival time when people might be drinking more, or bad weather.

Plus there’s some stupid police rule about needing video covering 2 minutes pre and post incident. Like, wtaf, what sort of rule or wording is that?

Presumably a carbon disc, to keep the added mass ALARP? You’re bound to see a benefit but 00:20 seems like a lot over 5 miles. Where else can you improve your aero? Clothing? Removing unnecessary bar tape?

I survived a near vehicular manslaughter / murder years ago on Norwood Road on a sunny Friday at noon. Let an ambulance overtake me passing Thames water roadworks, rode after them at a safe distance and fast speed to clear the way quickly. A motherfucking, brainworm rotting cunt in a grey van turning onto Norwood let the ambulance pass, looked at me, let me get too close to brake, and gunned it. My first thought as I skidded braking was ‘fuck, I’m about to smash face first into the solid side of this van’ as he blocked my lane. And then he kept turning. I was skidding at an angle, and I can clearly see in my minds eye now, 4 years later, how his front right wheel turned all the way to line up with me, with the driver looking straight at me.

By a pure fortunate unconscious instinct, my body knew to loosen my deathgrip on the brakes, and my tires regained enough traction to roll me enough out of the way of the van to barely avoid the mirror. I stopped in the road, yelled ‘Cunt!’ to the still speeding van, and the driver put two fingers out the window yelling ‘the light was red!’. There was no light for an easy hundred meters, nowhere near where the roadworks started for me or where he was, he was full of shit. His speed never slowed and his brake lights didn’t even blink.

After several interactions, the police did exactly fuck all. Logged it as a near miss traffic incident iirc, without any investigation.

Top tip to keep in mind: get witnesses’ contact details immediately, record plates of any vehicles that might have cameras at the scene, if cooperative witness offers help calling the fuzz in the moment take it, 999 operators will make it clear they don’t care what’s happening they just want to hear police/fire/ambulance, popo won’t believe you without witnesses and even then they might not do fuck all.

Morgan Stanley and ETrade reportedly considering removing DFV’s access to their trading platforms.

Correcting my own numbers: he has 5 million shares, and 21 June calls on 120,000 shares. He also has $29.2 million cash. I don’t know what the top NY legal finance minds think of DFV’s resurgence, but he’s definitely run it past a lawyer or 10, and his risk is greater if he’s managing other people’s money instead of just his own.

If he decides to exercise (120,000) calls’ worth of shares ITM, like he exercised his calls the last time GME went ballistic, I’m sure he’d readily find investors, lenders, even donors.

Israel kills another Iranian general.

I’ve no love or sympathy for sponsors of terrorism, but at what point does it stop when a country uses its airforce to bomb and kill another country’s officials in a 3rd country?

It what world do they think they have a chance of even getting the smallest of wins.

I wish I had your faith in the electorate that kept them in power for 14 years.

Brexit wasn’t enough. Fumbling Covid wasn’t enough. Historic inflation hasn’t been enough. Austerity, the NHS, social care, education, policing, crumbling infrastructure, (under-resourced) military, saturated justice system, homelessness crisis, increased rural-urban divide, a nearly endless list of failings hasn’t been enough.

Why would this time be different?

Supply sergeant (or UK cop equivalent) must’ve been wondering what died in the armoury for a few days.

FTFY.

He would’ve had to flag the driver, presumably also the person issued with the rifle, in the head 6” away. Then the woman recording laughing… Bizarre behaviour all around.

Also it would make no sense to be carrying a fake assault rifle in narco heavy states.

Strictly speaking, historically ‘zambo’ was the legal term in the Spanish Empire for the progeny of an Amerindian father and African mother. It carried with it specific legal entitlements, rights, and obligations, which were distinct from other castes.

The Spanish had a rather broad differentiation of castes (see: Pinturas de Castas for an artistic representation). Zambo, being the product of two parents from the two less-privileged ‘pure’ castes (the others being Spanish and ‘criollo’ born in the colonies to Spanish parents) eventually became used (by cunts) as a way of demeaning someone because of their real or perceived racial heritage.
