  1. As the bizarre news story thread had itself removed due to an infestation of politics thought I’d start a thread on light hearted news.

    Travel: How a £525 bet gave birth to your morning commute https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-68210255

  2. Does seem very coincidental.

    I remember seeing Jonathan Bloomer on the floor and saying good morning in the lift when he ran the Pru and I worked for them in London. Weird to see his name and face in the news this morning.

  3. just as far-fetched, you have me wondering if the car that fatally struck Chamberlain was a Tesla.

  4. More like the CIA sabotaged a yacht with a ridiculously tall mast. Naturally I wouldn't share this train of thought!

    I have seen waterspouts up close and whilst they look scary I've never heard of any actual problems due to them colliding with a vessel. Not that it means damage is not caused. In Mexico I saw a huge one that was literally 20m from a packed beach -everyone went still and quiet, but didn't move...

    Here's one off Playa del Carmen -reasonably far away!

    Its just possible that since the UK's favorite plumber has finally buggered off (or has he?) to Dubai, you might get their standby slot in the cathedral!

    For anyone that doesn't know him, he is a Remainer millionaire Plumber who now is a born again Faragist ala Reform "The Tories won't talk to me"- who has decided that being a dirty immigrant is the best thing for his future...

    Pictured here as a Joe 90 crossed with Rod Stewart lookalike that leaves impersonators green with envy!

  8. Sooner shit Rod Stewart pisses off the better and he can take his Panademic with him.
     
  9. I don’t understand why men (or women for that matter) get pumped full of Botox and dermal fillers, as they just makes their faces look swollen and shiny, like they’ve been stung by a bee. And that ludicrous Stringfellow-esque bog brush mullet isn’t doing him any favours either.

    Most threatened rightie tax protest flounces never happen, and a bit like lefties performatively claiming they’re leaving Twitter, it’s usually little more than petulant attention-seeking. But anyway. See ya Charlie. Off to UAE you go, you insufferable self-publicising tool.

  10. It fits though, because those things are, without exception, ridden by cunts.

    Tbf though, they explode all the time without any help from explosives, so it was probably just someone leaving the battery on charge overnight rather than a bomb.
