  • I suppose the TV licence in the UK is a sort of paywall, even if it is made of swiss cheese and enforced by folk with all the legal standing of Larry the Head Mouser or whatever moggy it is now.

    I pay it, but I’m loathed to now. Not because I watch any live TV or BBC programming, but because I use the BBC News site a metric fucktonne and I suppose I justify it to myself as funding the BBC News department rather than Graham Norton’s salary.

    Maybe I’ll fuck it off though. I do fancy a letter war with Capita or whoever managed the enforcement these days.





  • Go somewhere public and call a girl a chick, see what happens 😂

    Seriously though, it’s not the word that’s the issue, it’s the labelling of someone based on their gender. I can’t speak for the bottom line as I don’t appear to be a woman, but I’d start getting fucked off if a generic term was used to address me when I had a perfectly good name.

    In the UK, an equivalent is “bird”. Equally likely to get you booted in the balls.





  • My other half’s mam fuckin’ loves Candy Crush, plays it most (if not every) night, maybe clears a level or two.

    What really makes me smile is that whenever she drops a bollock and effectively renders a grid unwinnable, she’ll take the L and come back tomorrow. Fuck the MTX and fuck the extra time/re-rolls/level skips; she just goes back the following day and tries again.

    Mad respect, if nothing else than to be the marginal player base that fucks with the “line goes up” metric.
