It looks like a pepperoni pizza that was stored on its end.

I couldn’t tell you about that firm, always willing to try new beers mind!

I know their headline grabbing antics are particularly bad, but having lived on their home patch for a wee while, they’re not particularly well regarded as local neighbours either.

I know the following is absolutely subjective, but their beers are… alright? I wouldn’t say no to one but I’ve neither the stomach not the wallet to go on the piss purely on Brewdog beers. Their food is lovely too but you almost have to speak with your mortgage adviser first to see if it’s a bright idea.

I can’t remember the last time I voluntarily went to Brewdog or bought a few of their tinnies either, outside of meeting there for a work’s do or going there because visitors wanted to.

I have never known a company go from being “super cool” to “super prone to making themselves look like fannies” in such a short space of time. It’s almost impressive.

The waste is a fair point - storage isn’t a long term solution but then I suppose it can be managed in the interim, not like the effects of climate change.

I’m not seeing your point of “nukes” though?

Poundland Bear Grylls strikes again.

I mean, an LD govt would be pretty mint, but I don’t think I’ve honestly ever thought of what an LD opposition would look like.

Maybe we’ll find out.

Yeah I should have known better really.

Bet’s off:

£10 says we’ll be in double figures of Tories being investigated by polling day.

Two grand says that day will be July 4th.

Shock horror: a fucking idiot who build his persona on a foundation of being loud, obnoxious, and a bit of a twat turns out to be loud, obnoxious, and a bit of a twat.

Oh, and a nonce too.

Try electrical engineering! All you need is a socket and a fork!

Fair warning, I’m going to make a metric fucktonne of assumptions here, but that looks like a fairly modern British housing estate there with the associated infrastructure. Most greenery and pathway maintenance are contracted out to a third party as part of a service charge these days, and it’s cunts like this leaving tyre marks on the grass, or tracks where they’ve done an oopsie with their right hoof in 2WD mode or without traction control on that leave everyone’s maintenance bill that bit higher.

That, and it’s getting to the point where even a Land Rover Disco isn’t so much of a “big” car as it used to be, not with these yank tanks becoming more commonplace.

The size, and the location of it right on the edge of the road, might make it seem clever, but in reality it just makes it more of a bastard to cross the road safely for adults, let alone for kids.

It’s frustrating as fuck.

I encountered Quishing the other day - the inadvertent scanning of QR codes that take a browser to a malformed URL or site with malware embedded.

Back in my day, it was just called “being a bit dense”, especially as most cameras/QR readers will offer you a prompt to go to a website first.

Looks like a Samsung battery, about to give off some disco gas.

Yeah I would imagine so 😂

Also, if you have a list of orders, don’t give them all at once. Instead, order the first drink, let them pour it, let them put it on the bar in front of you, let them walk to the POS, let them log in and add it to the bill, and when they come back and ask for payment, say “can I also get a uhhhhhhhhhhhh” and order your second drink.

Do this for as long as your order is, the larger the better. The reason for this is that staff are usually wearing pedometers and it allows them to rack up a higher score, and your fellow patrons will appreciate it because it’ll add a small delay to their drinking pace, allowing them to savour the moment a little more.

idiot edit: I have absolutely replied to the wrong comment, but I’m 2cool4deleting so whatever

When purchasing a round of drinks, establishments generally aren’t fond of digital payments and are usually short on change as most prices end in a 9.

What’s really appreciated is if you bring a coin purse, and count out each total in change (denominations up to and including 50p - pound coins in extremis) on the bar so the staff don’t have to provide you with change.

For additional kudos, do this on a Friday or Saturday night when the bar is four deep. The patrons will appreciate your effort and respect for the public house financial system, and often chant words of wisdom at you, rendering you a local hero.

Jesus I had forgotten about that stuff - for the very reason mentioned here.

Yeah the charge got binned as internet access became more mainstream.it was inexpensive though, like £2 for half hour or something.

I’d pay a fair bit more to go back to an age when staring at this beautiful icon was all the reassurance you needed that the page was on its way:

Moving on fifteen years, StumbleUpon scratched that exact itch!

I mean you’re not far wrong. I always dreamed of a Ford Sierra or a Vauxhall VX220, but the Scooby with McRae and Grist’s name on it was an absolute belter.

I suppose the last one is halfway true. In the UK before internet access was mainstream, you either had to use the school/work network connection and their weird access control packages, or use the local library. In any case, you actually had to get dressed to use the internet.

This was when ISDN was a fat pipe, and if you went to the library, had to plan what you was going to look up because you paid for 30mins of access time. After you’d searched for PS1 cheat codes, Ask(ed) Jeeves for a fact to settle an argument, and looked up pictures of the 555-branded Subaru Impreza, it was time to burn off whatever acces time was left on Lycos, Excite, or Google’s directory service to find new cool stuff.

Old school.
