  1. I cant believe that Netflix have cancelled "Vivaldi" after only four seasons.
  2. Phil Oakey is a singer in the Human League but not a lot of people know his sister Carrie. She can be heard in most pubs on a Friday.
  3. I went to the doctors he said "I see you have an iron deficiency." I said "how can you tell" he said "Your shirt's really creased"
  4. My wife asked me "Is it just me or is the cat getting fat?" Apparently "No it's just you" wasn't the right answer
  5. As me and the missus headed off on a romantic holiday, we talked about what kinky things we'd like to do to each other. She said, "I've always wanted to be handcuffed." So I planted a kilo of cocaine in her suitcase.
  6. I always keep emergency flares in my car. You never know when you might get invited to a 70's disco
  7. It's this modern age I know but I've got a date with a woman who identifies as a wheelie bin, but I can't remember if I'm taking her out Tuesday or Wednesday.
  8. Lets hope everything is written down as well. With multiple copies, safely stashed away.
  9. I tend to agree with you, and was going to comment that the glass fronted building that has been hit in two drone attacks is a good target, since there have been no casualties, but the damage is very visible and apparent to anyone looking in that direction, giving pause for thought. However, I do have some doubts as to the overall effect. As Hitler found when bombing London, and, indeed, Putin is finding with his attacks on Ukrainian cities, far from terrorising the population, it unites it. Ukraine, and the West, want to split the Russian people from Putin. Bringing them together in a "blitz spirit" would do the opposite. Attacks on the Kremlin, military bases and other government buildings could show the Russians that the fight is against Putin, and not the Russian people, but I do think it would be a big mistake to start hitting civilian residences and infrastructure - either intentionally or not.
  10. The military, and their backers, have set this whole thing up, and Thaksin has walked right into their trap. If he was truly committed to democracy, and really wanted to make a change, he would have stuck with the MFP, no matter what. Even if it did mean forming a majority opposition and not having control of the PM position. But no. They played him like a spineless fish, knowing it's in the nature of the scorpion to sting, even if it kills him (to mix my parables). Now he's opened up a chasm between the two biggest "democratic" parties, and the squabbling, and no doubt further protesting and burning of effigies - just wait till the red shirts wade in on his side, will be used as an excuse by the military to seize control of the country once again to "calm things down". Smart? Pah! His thinking is done by his ego and narcissism. But hey, at least he's in the limelight again. That'll cheer him up.
  11. ^^ Ee, back in my day, a carbon footprint were why mother made father wipe his feet after coming home from t'pit
  12. No wonder the door's open...
