  1. You're lucky ! Most of the cyclists round here are on the f***ing pavement !!!
  2. I had a terrific teacher, Des Swords, who taught us chemistry, and was a stand-in history teacher. He had a great shock of curly black hair, and a love of wearing green corduroy suits. He was witty and patient but, instead of just trotting answers out and teaching "parrot fashion", he'd encourage us to think things through and work things out for ourselves. A great teacher and a good man. Sad to think that he's probably dead now....... At the other end of the scale, my metalwork teacher was an utter c***. Couldn't even be bothered to learn anyone's name, so he just called everyone
  3. I can't even take the Poison Dwarf seriously enough to dislike her any more ! She's a dummy-spitting upstart, with ideas above herself - a legend in her own mind !
  4. I've just finished a positive thinking course. It was 5hit !
  5. If you want to set up and run your own company..............that's your business !
  6. They've never done me............then again, I've got f*** all worth nicking !
  7. That image will keep me awake tonight.............and not in a good way !
  8. Maybe there would be more concern if the growing web of surveillance was commoner knowledge ? But I guess you don't advertise covert surveillance........ I only heard about facial recognition because, while 2 million people were lapping up Jeremy Kyle, Silki Carlo was on The Wright Stuff the other day !
  9. Somebody's idea of a nt so funny joke ? Eric Harris was one of the Columbine shooters.............
  10. I'm much more concerned about things like this........... https://bigbrotherwatch.org.uk/all-campaigns/face-off-campaign/ While we're distracted by Trump's alleged dalliances and Royal weddings, the surveillance net grows ever tighter..........and nobody seems to care. The technology doesn't work terribly well just now, but that will change, and facial recognition cameras will allow "the authorities" to track our movements, in real time, without our knowledge.
  11. If you do 5hit like that, you shouldn't be allowed to own a firearm. It's behaviour like that which gets us all a bad name............. Don't even start me on the scandalous waste !
  12. Tape worm eggs would be In the intestine, surely ?
  13. Who, me ? I don't give flying f*** who Trump boned.........or didn't........allegedly.
  14. Police are using marketing g data to profile suspects ! https://bigbrotherwatch.org.uk/all-media/police-use-experian-marketing-data-for-ai-custody-decisions/
  15. England fans at the upcoming World Cup are being advised NOT to to display the English flag, as it may be seen as "imperialistic" and "antagonistic", a senior police officer has said. A - the Empire was British, not English. B - I'm sure no other country has had the same "advice". C - the Russians, the French and the Spanish have a history of Imperialism, so............? D - With the greatest respect, Officer.........f*** off ! https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/world-cup-2018-england-flags-no-russia-police-imperialist-hooligans-drunk-a8353716.html
  16. Some professor somebody or other was on the radio this morning, about this. Apparently, if you're younger, you'll hear Yanny, and if your older, Laurel (generally). Some people have apparently reported different words on different types of radio...... It was done as an experiment into neural processing..........or something ! Yanny, by the way !
  17. I used to work in a mortuary, so I came across some horrendous odours ! Think of a body that's been dead for a few weeks, and falls apart when you move it - absolutely horrific ! I've seen bodies so badly decomposed that they weren't much more than a stain on the ground.............. Death has its own distinct odour, and you never forget it, but you do get used to it. What you've experienced is a kind of "nasal image", and other smells will trigger the memory, for a while - it goes away, in time. The trick with the Vick works better if you put it just inside your nostrils - not too f
  18. .........Lancaster bomber crews took off from Lincolnshire, on a top secret mission over Germany, known as Operation Chastise. All of those involved earned their place in history, including the 52 who didn't come home. The men were flying from 617 Squadron.............The Dambusters. https://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/960073/dambusters-flypast-2018-peak-district-derbyshire-raf-617-squadron-world-war-2
  19. Excellent bit of genuine Kiwi marketing..........(I just love the fact that they're called 5hitbox !)
  20. Is there any evidence that the strange figures, hunched into hedges aren't just Cushty having a little mooch ?
  21. One of the best ever was when the late, great Terry Wogan announced that the contest was being presented by "Dr. Death and the Tooth Fairy" !
  22. Looking at that, I'm forced to ask "sightings of what, exactly ?"
  23. Are strange, hunched figures in the hedgelines really that unusual in Plymouth, then ?
