Sonofrojblake @simonpblake.bsky.social · 11/07/2026It's not an attack. It's an admittedly weak, tossed-off no-effort joke about what is clearly just a trivial typo. The hyperbolic meanness of it was supposed to be part of the humour (see Mel brooks' comedy/tragedy definition). You didn't like it. Okay 000

Sonofrojblake @simonpblake.bsky.social · 11/07/2026Properly designed ones don't. They have a thin bar called a gallery. You open wide, pop it in, relax and it just sits there. It's great. 000

Sonofrojblake @simonpblake.bsky.social · 10/07/2026Crook's work is - and I use this word literally - incredible. 120
Sonofrojblake @simonpblake.bsky.social · 10/07/2026You could, justifiably. But Gervais's monster was a large part of it. Shame he didn't leave it there, he'd be legendary 100
Sonofrojblake @simonpblake.bsky.social · 10/07/2026It's spelled bin-far-chay, but it's pronounced throat wobbler mangrove 100
Sonofrojblake @simonpblake.bsky.social · 10/07/2026I'm going to stick my neck out and say fesser is female and partner is male. 160
Sonofrojblake @simonpblake.bsky.social · 10/07/2026Gervais performed a great service to this country. Without him, we'd not have: Crook Freeman Merchant Ineson Davis Or at least, not as we have them now. If the price of having all that greatness is we have to have Gervais as well, I think that's a reasonable trade. 100
Sonofrojblake @simonpblake.bsky.social · 09/07/2026Here Comes The Sun. Beatles. Makes me think of.... ... everything. 040

Sonofrojblake @simonpblake.bsky.social · 09/07/2026That having been said I'm more than happy to believe genetics makes it harder to resist eating too much, just like genetics can make people self-destructive or stupid in other ways. Doesn't make the solution any more complicated though. Anyone pretending it's complicated is selling something 000
Sonofrojblake @simonpblake.bsky.social · 09/07/2026As I said - if you can eat fewer calories than you're expending and show even weight *maintenance*, much less gain, and can explain where that weight came from, there's a Nobel prize waiting. You're on the same level as people who claim they can talk to the dead or dowse for water. 000
Sonofrojblake @simonpblake.bsky.social · 09/07/2026It's funny watching young people call bullshit on something people actually alive in the 70s find plausible to the point of trivial. Not everything in the world happened after YouTube, kids. 0100
Sonofrojblake @simonpblake.bsky.social · 09/07/2026Or, y'know... solved world hunger? Could be done for about 0.5% of Musk's net worth, yet not one of them had even tried it. 010
Sonofrojblake @simonpblake.bsky.social · 09/07/2026Fat people and their enablers desperately need other people to believe it's really complicated. Meanwhile, the first law of thermodynamics sits there, pitilessly simple. kcal in > kcal out, fatter kcal in < kcal out, thinner Nobel prize if can change that 110
Sonofrojblake @simonpblake.bsky.social · 08/07/2026I practically bloody applauded when I read that 160
Sonofrojblake @simonpblake.bsky.social · 08/07/2026Respectfully disagree. A few years ago, IT website The Register reported on BMW's plan to charge a subscription for heated seats. The genius who wrote the story questioned where it would lead - limiting access to air conditioning? ... If you tolerate this, then your chilled air will be next 1394
Sonofrojblake @simonpblake.bsky.social · 08/07/2026How many calories you consume isn't genetic, it's a choice. And for kids, it's not their choice. 1130
Sonofrojblake @simonpblake.bsky.social · 08/07/2026How dare you sir. It's the greatest film starring a Frenchman as a Scotsman who can't do the accent, an American as a Russian who can't do the accent, and a Scotsman as a Spaniard who's actually Egyptian who's the only one doing an actual Scottish accent... ever made. 140
Sonofrojblake @simonpblake.bsky.social · 08/07/2026Could have been worse - they might have tried making a sequel to The Matrix. Thank Bod they never did. THEY NEVER DID. See also Highlander 110
Sonofrojblake @simonpblake.bsky.social · 08/07/2026This. Kevin Phillips Bong, Slightly Silly. In all seriousness, I think this is the single most insightful thing I've ever seen you say. And I've got your book. Genius. 000
Sonofrojblake @simonpblake.bsky.social · 07/07/2026That's the great thing about being right wing... you NEVER run out of other people's money 000

Sonofrojblake @simonpblake.bsky.social · 04/07/2026Anyone who's ever been trained to use a rifle knows that prone, clear daylight, no wind, 130m away with a post-1970 rifle, if you miss a target the size of the palm of your hand you are doing so deliberately 000
Sonofrojblake @simonpblake.bsky.social · 03/07/2026Hell no, you must be thinking of the other place. Feels like about 20% of what I post here just saying how brilliant something is. 140
Sonofrojblake @simonpblake.bsky.social · 03/07/2026Amazed to learn today that that is a real place 000
Sonofrojblake @simonpblake.bsky.social · 03/07/2026This is what I come here for. This, ladies and gentlemen, this is comedy. Great work all. 1110

Sonofrojblake @simonpblake.bsky.social · 02/07/2026Fancy dress to include: - police uniforms - firefighter gear - traffic warden uniform - burqas - kilts or any other national dress - Hawaiian shirts - any wig or coloured hair - any kind of makeup Should be fun. 010
Sonofrojblake @simonpblake.bsky.social · 01/07/2026You flatter it saying it should be somewhere people can read it. I was thinking more "a USB hard drive in a landfill in Wales". Safer. 010
Sonofrojblake @simonpblake.bsky.social · 29/06/2026I don't think you know what "careless" means. What I do takes great care, as I explained. But then you cited a rule that doesn't support you, and then said "of course it doesn't" then explained that it does. I think we're done here 000
