Sean Connery used to carry a walking cane, even though he didn't need it. I guess that was just his schtick. #LunchPun

I don't have long to live thanks to a surgeon replacing most of my internal organs with bricks. I say this with a heavy heart. 🙁 #LunchPun

The word "fanny" is a bit confusing to Americans as well. 😬

I've already made three. Like, three weeks ago. Full of brandy, with more to add over the next two months, and I can't stand brandy either. 🤢

The Dam Busters (1955) I do have a little obsession with Lancasters.

I'm not using actual EE because they're a complete shower of shit - went with 1pMobile. Ditched my EE broadband two months early too.

I used to be with TPMobile, I think they were a MVNO using O2 at the time, but then they switched to Three. My service here dropped to literally zero. Might as well have been on Mars. So it depends on your network choice - never mind what the coverage checker says. I'm stuck with EE MVNOs.

That. 👇 We rented it on VHS probably 1985. My mum had gone to answer the door so 9 year old me was sat watching it by myself. I had no comprehension of how jump-scares worked back then.

The A is missing out of "because" in the anagram bit. 🧐 You can do it? You literally can't!

Had similar with my Stinkpad years ago and it eventually died. Turned out to be a known motherboard fault which they replaced even though it was out of warranty. They left half the screws out of the case and didn't reconnect the touchpad. So they can't have tested it before returning it. 🧐

That new Apple ad, "this is what happens when you go to the moon". NOBODY AT APPLE HAS BEEN TO THE SODDING MOON! Apple didn't even exist until four year after the last moon landing.

We did mainly indie covers; Oasis, Ocean Colour Scene, Charlatans, Stone Roses, Shed Seven etc, Beatles, Kinks, Rolling Stones. I played bass. Tho we occasionally swapped for a few songs where I played drums, the drummer sang, and the singer played bass.

It was a weird-looking venue. The ceiling had dozens of old doors nailed to it. 🧐 There was always a good atmosphere, though, unlike some venues I could mention.

Mooching about on Google Maps and checked out this place on the corner of Wellington Street/Wortley Street in Barnsley. It was a pub called Tut & Shive in the late 1990s, and it's where my band played our first ever gig in August 1997. We played there eight times in total.

I worked at Gremlin/Infogrames from early 1998-2001, and I've never heard of it. 🤔 But I'm intrigued now...

I don't understand this. Where does the parcel get put in? How far/fast does it travel? Can it only do one parcel at once? How does it launch parcels over a fence? And the biggest question of all; what's the bloody point?

(I didn't bother with any, in the end. It's in a PC I don't use often enough to justify it)

Nice. I think it's one I looked at when I was going to upgrade my old RTX2070 cos it was on par with the RTX5060ti, but cheaper. 👍

Decided I need to change the pollen filter on the car cos the aircon smells musty. Figured I'd check the air filter too. Erm... at least it works. 😬

Social media platforms (including YouTube and Tiktok) are so big now they can't possibly be policed adequately. And they expect us to just be ok with it. 🤷

Nah I don't mind it really. Got a big self-powered petrol mower so I've just got to walk behind it. Takes me 30-40 minutes. The biggest problem is everywhere's still a dust bowl. I'm going to re-seed one area about 20m^2 cos the heat and the dog running has knackered it. He literally does this. 👇

Exactly my point tho! Why so many?! If it doesn't fall apart with NO screws in it, why not just go with the traditional "one at each corner"? 🤷

My fav trick; replace the 327 screws in the bottom of a laptop (wtf do they even need so many??) before finding one left over that should have gone inside somewhere. 😬🤬

So, Asda done fucked up, IN MY FAVOUR! 👌 Ordered a delivery and spied twelve tins of cat food for £2.59. It's nearly double that for six! Ordered four packs - 48 tins in total. Saved over £20. 👍😁
