Thanks.
Let's go with #partiallyobscured.

https://www.lfgss.com/comments/16864278/. That's why never bet. But I agree with t-v, Labour should be much more worried about Badenoch.

Ha!

Subtle variation of tweeness.

Not sure if this is the right thread

Interesting that Lime can be made to make changes when it has to, hopefully other Boroughs will realise that they have some power. Also interested in the 'speed limit' thing and how that works.

Why is it a £X "black hole" and not just a hole? I'm no cosmologist so I don't know if there is a peculiar quality of black holes that makes it apt or is it simply meant to make it sound more ominous?

I'm glad they underlined the relevant bits.

Lazy bastards.

I had a very bad experience on here with a well regarded member which I didn't bother to write about at the time. This person, let's call them Pippy, bought a couple of saddles off me for very reasonable prices. Not 2 weeks later I happened to be browsing a niche sales forum and saw the same saddles for sale again at a 1000% mark up. In the intervening fortnight they had apparently been marinaded up his, and I quote, "big fat stinky arse" so that they now gave off an odour of "foul Antipodean man-dung". Now, I am no prude but I do think flipping in this way, no matter how much potentially fatal anal dilation is involved, isn't right. Just because there is a market for something doesn't mean that honest vendors like myself should be taken advantage of. One of those saddles came off my late father's bike and I'd assumed that it was going to someone planning a vintage build rather than to be befouled at the hands and rear of a common spiv.
All of which goes to show that reputation isn't always a reliable guide.

Simple idea, perfectly realised.

I like science fiction, there's a suspension of disbelief which is ok - it just shouldn't requite a lobotomy. And don't cast as the Big Boss Cop someone who has been told he's in the new Line Of Duty and is only realising, one line at a time, that he's not.
I wish I'd known it was the same writer as Death in Paradise. I only saw one episode of that but it was as bad as anything that's ever been on TV. Like they had accidentally broadcast the first rehearsal of every scene with actors who had been collectively drugged and made to perform at gun point from a script by someone's who's first, second and third language was not English.

A friend encouraged me to persevere with Ludwig. I won't soon forgive them. It's a programme for people who liked Morse but found it a little too plausible. Who enjoyed Death In Paradise but thought some of the character acting to be a little too polished. Having watched the first episode in two goes I thought I must have missed something but, no, the whole thing is premised on people not being able to tell twin brothers apart. And not just any people, actual police detectives. (though that's maybe not surprising as they seem to have less than a layperson's understanding of how to conduct any form of police work. Less understanding in fact than anyone who has ever watched any previous police show on TV). And not just mistaking them physically but not being tipped off by their entirely different personalities even though that difference is stressed over and over in one of the many fine examples of exposition that passes for dialogue. Every single thing about it has to be proceeded by "let's pretend". If your 10 year old came up with it you'd be impressed. If they came up with it at 16 you'd be lamenting the effect that social media has had on young people's mental health.
I know it's 'family viewing' but the adults don't have to pretend it's anything but bollocks, and lazy bollocks at that.

That means nothing to me.

I'm never annoyed with you, dear boy, just occasionally disappointed.
