Re: Shane MacGowan

He always seemed to be a mess, even when he was a lot younger. MacGowan became one of these drinkers from a youthful age. As he later recalled, “I was drinking stout aged five, I used to get two bottles of Guinness a night. If anyone questioned [my family] about it they would say, ‘If you give him ...

Re: Decent Recent TV

Been watching Lazarus Project It's alright, I go between thinking it's really good and very bad. I think it's because it feels like Dark filtered through a lens of Marvel movies and Dr Who. So it's clever but there's a layer of mainstream sci-fi goofiness to get through. Just watching this - very m...

Re: The Cats are good too thread

It's not really, cats can live a very happy life indoors. As long as their owners aren't idiots they tend to be healthier and live longer than outdoors cats. Between the risks to the cats themselves and the impact domesticated cats have on local wildlife it's a no brainer for me. It's a very Americ...

Re: Smerkin' tabs

The other way to do it would be to price it the same as weed. Currently at around £8 a gram, a small pouch of rolling tobacco would cost £200 :lol: It's going that way anyway, I got wasted with some old school mates back in April and to re-live those teenage years of sharing a fag on the playing fi...

Re: Crumbing parents

My mum (75) died a few years ago from cancer, she went downhill pretty quickly from fairly fit and fighting it, to going. The worst part was it was over covid so we weren't able to spend as much physical time together as we would have liked. Her husband (77) and my dad (77) are both physically stro...

Re: British Ryanairways...

Jeez, I thought paying for seat allocation was something only short haul budget airlines did! Haven't travelled long haul for a few years now, that's fucking annoying. Is it just a BA thing? I mean they've effectively become a budget non-budget airline haven't they? Nope, lots of airlines so it now.

Re: Bye Bye Sunak..

The BBC is reporting 140 children and 105 women killed in Israeli strikes on Gaza. Are you saying there's been no civilians killed by Israel? I'm not there, but it seems improbable. No, I wasn't saying that; I was asking you to explain your comment that Israel carries out civilian murders (which in...

Two weeks since serving the notice, their time has run out, and the neighbours have done two things. 1) Failed to allow access for a surveyor as ordered by the court last year, or pay the costs order from this year. 2) Responded to the s.146 notice with a lengthy letter. To paraphrase, they do not ...
