Machine?

'Er indoors puts 2 large scoops of ground coffee in a mug and pours boiling on then drinks it 5 mins later...

Same, although I'm not your missus. I mean, not that I've noticed.

Oh, you would notice.

....promises, promises!

I like a mug of good coffee but I don't drink enough to justify the cost of a machine. I was talking to a lass on a coffee stand at Eddfest, random I know, and she said I just need a single cup percolator. Does anyone have such a thing? I saw this, will it suffice?

Adjusting a wreath in your hands before you put it down is for normal people.

In his very, very mild defence, I think that's pretty normal for such people at such events with cameras rolling.
The outfit clinches it - The classic English gentleman abroad: It's David Niven. It's Stewart Grainger. It's Nigel Havers. It's a green (blue) blazer. The look? 'Imperial Leisure ...

You need to use the correct terminology, which is

"Miaowsers!! I'm a cat now!"

Then go piss in someone's shoes.

One assumes you have to use your Government Name, though.

I'm not sure "This is our Professor of Cardiology, Dave The Explosive Newt" is gonna go down well with someone who's got a weak ticker.

Well, recruitment companies weaponised AI against candidates, so it's only fair candidates do the same.

Also I'd recommend he builds transferable skills up, the gaming industry ain't the most stable these days - even making good games isn't a guarantee of not being bought up by a bigger company ...

It's quite funny how they frame him getting a bit grumpy about being asked his real name when in character as if that's not anything any other performer would do.

If you were interviewing Hacker T Dog and you shouted down behind the chair "Hoi Phil, how you doing?" he'd call you out for being a ...

They claimed that they'd saved £26m through "efficiencies", which impies getting the same outcome for less input. What they actually did was cut services like transport for disabled kids (or more accurately, charging the poorest for the service who used to get it for free - so it's technically not a ...

I suppose I should say that I remember when DTEN was being a bit cautious on older versions of the forum.

And now he's a fucking Professor of Cardiology. At Cambridge.

They grow up so fast

I fitted a ceiling fan in my bedroom and that’s been bloomin amazing. Would highly recommend.


Technology Connections did a video about those recently, and as ever it was "no way can you make a video about ceiling fans, this long, and still make it interesting"

And yet...

Outstanding news. I won't try to come up with a heart or blood based pun - too much pressure.

I did look at those, but I was specifically looking for multigig on the LAN and WAN so I ended up snagging EU hardware that came with deathdapters in the amazon courier bags

All worked fine though.

Had a horrible feeling that I'd missed the cars MOT by a huge amount this morning. Turns out I did in February, I jus forgor :lol:

Pinged the local specialist anyway as the passenger side window regulator has done what all BMW window regulators do, and carked it - and oof they ain't cheap if you ...

The Spectator are being quite bullish about Binfaces chances.

I mean, they've never particularly liked Farages greasy used car salesman schtick, but it's quite surprising to see them thinking we could see Binface actually win . That said, I think they're seriously overestimating exactly how ...

Christ, are the fuckwit right trying to speedrun being hated by everyone with an IQ above 36 or something?


Rupert Lowe has caused backlash after he claimed the 1996 Dunblane school massacre as ‘just one murder’.

The leader of the far-right Restore Britain party appeared on the podcast The Joe ...

Apparently other Reform members knew nothing about this, so had no chance to wargame it or scope it out, including the potential downsides.

He probably came up with it when in the US talking to the Trumpy types (who have a higher proportion of the educationally subnormal, the politically illiterate ...

Binface on Newsnight:
https://youtu.be/91YA8OhICI4

You want to talk to Count Binface and then you get me on NewsNight, and you start trying to deconstruct a character. I would say what are we doing here on a program which used to construct proper investigative journalism and now is a souped-up ...
