US intelligence must have an impressive spread to be tracking British fly tippers.

Just to clarify, it’s your best mate that swiped the cup and not Prince Charles, right?

This suggests that maybe getting married was the worst thing you ever did 🤔 Court orders can apply to any asset, not just pensions.

They had a bit of a boost during Farage’s pointless Clacton by-election stunt and topped a couple in August.

Translation: I shoplift. If they want me to stop shoplifting they need to hire more staff and put prices up to cover the employment costs.

This clip always bothers me for the reference to the Tokyo stock exchange opening in 40 mins. That would make it 11-20pm.

It’s genius, and I envy anyone that hasn’t had the pleasure of watching it for the first time yet.

You just happened to have a spare vaginal canal knocking around did you?

This is basically twisting a knot in your urethra and attempting to piss through it. I can’t imagine it’s doing your waterworks any good, if indeed it’s even possible to piss.

Probably just another made-up fess, in this case by someone that isn’t even a runner. I’ve been running various distances since my 20s and can confirm that after a properly long run all you want to do is drink and eat calorie-dense food. The last thing on your mind is cracking one off!

Works the same way for men when they get themselves in shape. Additional factor if they’ve made a few quid as well.

I think he’s saying he can’t leave before someone that was there when he went in as it would make it look like he can’t take the heat for very long. I think.

M&S have a much more stylish range these days - for menswear at least. They poached the head designer from Reiss a couple of years ago, and it shows.

If you google ‘woman showers during funeral’ I doubt it’d be hard to find!

Could’ve been far worse. There was that now-infamous woman who watched a funeral on Zoom whilst showering and shaving her fanny unaware that her camera was on.

His short game is worse than mine. At least I tend to get the ball closer to the hole with each shot. Surprised his security allows people to stand where they were to film that, to be honest.

This is literally why the waiters come and ask ‘is everything ok?’ It’s not a dinner party where good etiquette takes precedence, and it’s perfectly acceptable to tell them your £30 steak is overcooked.

Linkin Park’s breakout album was released 26 years ago and the band members all pushing 50. I don’t think getting the band name a little wrong affected your coolness, to be honest.

I have seen entire walls erected like this (albeit wood-panelled). I was wondering from the original post whether it was all 4 walls and roof!

Serious question: Is this how barns are erected?

I’ve just searched for this thread as it does indeed sound like it’d be very funny to read the outrage on the Mumsnet forums. Doesn’t seem to exist 🤔

It won’t, but seeing Farage standing up on stage alongside 33 joke candidates will be amusing nonetheless. It’s going to take the returning officer about 10 mins to read the results 😂

Am I the only one perplexed as to why this has caused him to run ultra distances?? Surely that’s putting off his pre-shower routine by a few hours every run?

I remember being told on our school visit to our local fire station about 40 years ago that well-intended false alarms like this are more common than actual fires.

Far better to clench for a bit and do it on work time.

I hope the new Restore party takes off. We need a right-wing vote split.

If it was permanent marker, a few squirts of aftershave or perfum gets it off easily (due to having high alcohol content).

I think even a single canvasser can get a feel of things from a few dozen door knocks. But yes, the candidates and leaders will have a really good idea of how things are looking well before polling day.

It’ll likely be feedback from door-to-door canvassing (from all sides).

No reliable local polls but betting markets favour Greens. People wouldn’t be putting down their money without some sort of steer.

Ben Belcher @benbelcher.bsky.social · 12/02/2026
Betfair exchange has Greens as big favourites. Obviously a lot of money backing them, and not much backing Labour.

That 3rd-umpire decision for the 7th wicket was an absolute joke as it was given not out on field. Amusing to see slo-mo of dozens of England fans clearly shouting FUCK OFF when given though.

Must take your bin men hours to do their round if, rather than using the mechanical arm to tip the bin’s entire contents into the wagon in one go, they sort through the contents of each bin bag by hand.

You cheating, or not, won’t affect the divorce settlement. This has been the case since 1973. May as well take the opportunity if you really think that’s her motivation. She could be shagging the local rugby team and it’d be the same end result financially for you.

Due to it’s alcohol content, a liberal squirt of aftershave or perfume will magically dissolve permanent marker from a whiteboard (or other surfaces), with the bonus of leaving you with a lovely smelling whiteboard.
