Fuck all, really.
Competitive packages should attract successful candidates, not cunts who consistently fail at both moderating pay, and literally shitting in the rivers and leaving for the taxpayer to clean up.
Fuck the shareholders of this company, it’s an abject failure and needs to be brought into local authority ownership.
It royally fucks me off when info boards get used as full screen adverts. Costa and McDonalds are particularly bad - I don’t give a fuck about your 1998 Shockwave animated soft drink advert, show me the fucking menu!
I’m not bothered about “idle” screens getting used for adverts such as airport departure gates with no plane berthed, but it’s incredibly frustrating when a screen has one job, that gets hijacked by adverts.
I think you’re halfway there - he probably did mean for it to be found, if he was killed or died in the interim.
That would have been his failsafe to tell his story to the world.
Source: there isn’t one, it’s simply one line of supposition
I mean, that was career suicide from Coote, and I hope the PGMOL or whoever have some sort of aftercare process to stop such a negative life event spiralling.
It’s frustrating to see the right decisive action being taken when an official steps out of line, when players, managers, and board members gib off without punishment. How the fuck there’s any refs wanting to do the job I’ll never know.
It’s just one view, but I read it as some schoolyard attempt at having the last word.
Nearly everyone can see that it’s a load of childish bollocks, but it’s a nice red flag to avoid a world of hurt trying to engage with them.
Maybe I’m just too jaded to deal with clowns any more.
Negative health effects aside, I do kinda miss the smell of certain places - the smoking tables of a restaurant, an 80’s arcade, the back bar of a country pub… not in a way that I liked the smell at all, but that’s what it always was, and taking an element away from it leaves a noticeable gap.
I suppose people of a later generation will never remember the difference, much like I never really knew anything but colour TV.
That said, I absolutely 100% do not miss going out on the piss, getting home somehow, and waking up in my clothes that absolutely reeked of smoke. It was horrific. A quick wash never seemed to clear it fully either - it was either a wash that lasted so long that it looked like you bought your clothes from the children’s aisle, or a whole day line drying to get rid of that stale smoke smell.
I’m glad the world is moving on.
I mean, it sucks that you pinned your hopes on your crush having to follow a social pressure to kiss/fondle/fuck/whatever the “forfeit” for spin the bottle was in the first place.
It sucks that you had to go through that, but at what point does that declination of your advances suck less?
I mean, society has unfortunately favoured shitty games like “pull the bull” and “poke the bear” over any sort of genuine attraction which has usually disadvantaged women anyway - that’s not to turn it into a gender thing, but maybe the idea of sparking a relationship from a forced interaction sucks from the outset.
The stewards have directed that Cat #69 failed to lift his paw when shown the blue flag, and as such impeded car 63.
Six penalty points and a €420 fine payable to Action For Road Safety added to the initial sanction.
Ten second penalty for impeding car 63.
Dying of piles sounds awful. Like, it would have been nice to marathon Ye Olde Stranger Things or Squide Game without having your arse falling to pieces on your deathbed deathsofa.
Five minutes? I’m surprised support agencies and advocates for the vulnerable or those with accessibility needs haven’t jumped all over that.
I’m surprised someone hasn’t accidentally left a boulder or a skip across the car park entrance to fuck Excel Parking off.
I was going to say that it had prioritised the most uses combination of letters… but I have a unique name that I’ve saved to the custom dictionary and it still reverts back to the anglicised name, like “stop autocorrecting my own damn name to something else”.
At least we know AI is fucked for a few years yet.
Anyone remember the 2005 TV feature Supervolcano?
I loved it when it came out, still relevent today - perhaps the Threads of the geology field. Great way to burn off almost two hours if you ever get bored.

Pokémon Club! I went with my kids ages ago, and I’m the only one that habitually goes now.
Half the group are below 5-20, the other half are 20 and above - and it’s an absolute riot. I’ve made some decent friends, taken Pokémon Go raid bosses that I’d never have been able to take in a rural area normally, and the adult-only raid walks are just a good excuse to chat bollocks. I’m not really in to the TCG side of things, but even the people who I don’t have much in common with are awesome for type and counter knowledge.
I’m not even big into the Pokémon series, it’s just an excuse to talk shite for an hour and rinse some XP.
I can see two use cases for this:
When I’m at mile 12 of a half marathon and I’m absolutely dying, and running on caffeine and verbalised self-hatred to put one foot in front of the other, like “come on dickhead, you’ve done this in training, stop being a fucking fanny and get through this, you can do a mile on your dick and that last tenth of a mile is your poseur time, get through it you arse piece”
Or, if I’ve got a cold and need to walk the thirteen-point-one yards to the kitchen when my stomach is doing somersaults and my joints ache, like “go for it bellend, you ain’t getting better sat on your fat hoop, get some paracetemol and stop being a miserable cunt, you can do this”.
Maybe I’ve been leaning too hard in to the self-loathing as a coping strategy.
Great band, a slow burner of an album.
I bought it when it came out on the strength of Magdalena, but gave it away after a week.
A few years later I listened to it again and thought “man this is a banger”. Magdalena and Breña were just the subjective cherries on top.
You misunderstand.
Keep the payment, take the goods.
Ballistic is pretty good - very CS 1.6-ey. The submachine guns are suitably shit, the handguns are punchy and rewarding, and the stun grenades are actually useful for a change.
Very impressive so far, even if the buy menus are an absolute travesty at the moment. It is clearly labelled as early access though.
