Pottsy @ipottsy.bsky.social · 03/10/2026They should now be called "The Bootleg Bootleg Beatles" for accuracy. An amazing show though and one of them even says "fucking hell" when they play Hey Jude. 010
Pottsy @ipottsy.bsky.social · 03/10/2026In her favour, there's absolutely no Tory MP who can challenge her and do a better job. She's still preternaturally shit though. 110
Pottsy @ipottsy.bsky.social · 03/10/2026The Tories are on glue. It's the only explanation that makes sense. 041
Pottsy @ipottsy.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Yeah the democratisation of the resources and capability increases the chances of a successful hack happening. 000
Pottsy @ipottsy.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I personally think *people* could *use* AI to destroy the world or severely disrupt it. I've got a strong suspicion it will be used to hack the use of prime numbers in RSA encryption (used in credit card payments) at some point. 110
Pottsy @ipottsy.bsky.social · 02/10/2026It wouldn't surprise me if the Daily Mail has misreported or made up what he said either. 110
Pottsy @ipottsy.bsky.social · 01/10/2026If I submitted a CV that stated I have competitive skills, experience and qualifications would the company you work for accept that without details or think I'm someone just changing their arm? 100
Pottsy @ipottsy.bsky.social · 01/10/2026You mean staff who want management to be up front with them and want to work in a culture of mutual respect? 110
Pottsy @ipottsy.bsky.social · 01/10/2026An Emirati couldn't possibly have skin on this game could he? 100
Pottsy @ipottsy.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I don't know. For me it's a nice little pointer saying "the management for this company are cunts. Don't bother unless you're desperate" 120
Pottsy @ipottsy.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Subtly drive a wedge between them, turning them against your wife. Alternatively, accept it and maybe suggest there's times she doesn't answer the phone. (E.g. when you're fucking) 250
Pottsy @ipottsy.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Oh and the 80s Thatcher "recovery" was largely bollocks too. What there was, was built on North Sea Oil, loose credit and the Brinks Mat robbery. 010
Pottsy @ipottsy.bsky.social · 01/10/2026My memories of the 70s are very vague - however, I do think some left wingers hark back to it the way some right wingers harked back to the 50s. Nostalgia is a disease anyone can be a victim of. 110
Pottsy @ipottsy.bsky.social · 30/09/2026See "The Spy Who Loved Me" for the best adaptation of a Bond novel 000
Pottsy @ipottsy.bsky.social · 30/09/2026True - but I think novelty songs as a whole died a death after the 90s 100
Pottsy @ipottsy.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Revived in the late 90s/ early 00s. Norah Jones, Katie Melua, Eva Cassidy and various others 120
Pottsy @ipottsy.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Childlike novelty songs evolved I'd argue - there was a brief trend of dance versions of kids TV shows theme tunes in the 90s. Teletubbies Say Eh-Oh was probably the last? 100
Pottsy @ipottsy.bsky.social · 30/09/2026"Chips" Channing, if I remember correctly, bemoaned the first Budget of the war as dismantling capitalism Besides, the country was more evenly split than popular perception believes. While a crowd of people cheered Chamberlain in Downing Street a much larger crowd in Trafalgar Square was against it 010
Pottsy @ipottsy.bsky.social · 28/09/2026So, if someone loses their job because of something they've said but not been convicted of a crime, that's why not ok? 100
Pottsy @ipottsy.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I broadly agree, but it does beg the question: when are the consequences disproportionate to what is said, and who decides that? 100
Pottsy @ipottsy.bsky.social · 28/09/2026See Toby Young's so-called "Free Speech Union" which has been noticeably silent about those arrested for supporting Palestine Action. 010
Pottsy @ipottsy.bsky.social · 28/09/2026That will depend on what the increase in the unit cost would need to be. (Yea people who contribute to the national grid may be better off, but so will low users). 000
Pottsy @ipottsy.bsky.social · 28/09/2026"You had nothing at the beginning, you had nothing at the end. What you lost? Nothing!" 1210
Pottsy @ipottsy.bsky.social · 26/09/2026I really like Morse but the idea it was somehow a highbrow TV series I always found bizarre. High production values, a 2 hour slot at a time when such things were unusual, Morse's highbrow pretensions and the Oxford locations helped disguise adaptations of good but pulp detective novels. 140
Pottsy @ipottsy.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Isn't this more to do with the allegations of sexual misconduct by Nicely? 100
Pottsy @ipottsy.bsky.social · 22/09/2026I thought this was going to lead into "Once in a Lifetime" 000
Pottsy @ipottsy.bsky.social · 21/09/2026If someone attempts to pay with a bank note I bet you look at it as if you've never seen one before 000
Pottsy @ipottsy.bsky.social · 21/09/2026The Palace haven't denied the King said it - they've merely implied it. Christ, why are mainstream journalists so fucking gullible (not yourself)? 031
Pottsy @ipottsy.bsky.social · 21/09/2026What has the palace actually said that contradicts what he said? As opposed to what they try to get people to infer, naturally. 010
Pottsy @ipottsy.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Apology accepted. The secret of great comedy is timing. Before today it would have worked. 000
