Helen Lewis tries to highlight societal oppression by making huge assumptions and ends up shaming a woman for her choices. Tries to worm out of it after Lawrence’s response while maintaining she still has a point (see thread).

An interesting and bang-your-head-against-the-wall-worthy read.

Funny read. 

Fair play to J-Law for firing back.

Is a catastrophic, global event, that wipes out a huge % of the population, the only way to save humanity?

A few well placed nukes would help as well. 

I never got around to purchasing the watch I always wanted! Maybe for my 40th next year.

10 years since I had a job interview and it showed. It didn't go well but it armed me for the next one. 

They are horrible nowadays. You just need practice.

As it's Apple I'm surprised the glazed walls didn't crack and have to be sent away for repairs

Don't Samsung provide the glass for Apple?

Swearing at someone that's about to turn their back on you and prep your fast food takeaway?

 

That's a high stakes game!

Stakes? I think you'll find it was chicken

I avoid KFC, years back I went to the one at The One Stop near the Villa ground, I went in and approached the counter, the girl behind the counter looked me in the eye and forcefully said "Did I arks you to step forward?". My response to this shitty piece of customer service, an apology and a step back. 

Perry Barr, innit? *sucks teeth*

People who stop dead on a busy street (i.e. to look at their phones), just **** off.

Worse than Hitler. 

I like to plough into them from behind (ooooh matron) and then act very apologetic.

I hate this 'cultural appropriation' argument. It's one step away from telling people who they can marry and fall in love with.

Well, that is the case in some religions.

If they signs Cousins then i'll have to revisit!

Guilty as charged, but only if it’s endorsed by @PieFacE  

@PieFacE actually does his research! Reading some stories on the net, it seems others are just throwing money into everything. The scattergun approach. Braver than me. 

Has he been drinking again?

The one thing that I find endearing about them is that they seemed to be really enjoying themselves, which, whether the end result is good or shit is always nice to see.

They do but what always saddens me is that many of them had very messed up personal lives.

Now Shooting Stars I **** love, I've been watching loads clips on YouTube recently.  Amazing how even that probably wouldn't be allowed on TV today, stuff like this in today's climate just wouldn't be done

 

I think a lot of stuff even a few years old couldn't get made today. Little Britain for one - I remember Walliams saying something similar recently. The Thick of It as well. It would just be too 'offensive' for some people nowadays.

I visited this thread for financial chat. Now I regret it. 

It started off about investments and bonds and ended up about the state of @tonyh29's cock!

Carry On films.  They always seem shit whenever I've watched the odd bit here and there.  Never managed to sit through the whole of one.

Timeless classics!

Nice one @NurembergVillan! Very professional looking. You didn't have to put the Ozzy Osbourne accent on though

Correct. Also, the restored Flying Scotsman is ruined by those hideous and innacurate German smoke deflectors. 

Have you seen the Mallard up close and personal? It's at York (or it was in August last year)

A very enjoyable couple of hours spent in the museum

Combination of ponzi schemes and gambling now

People are just pouring money into any old shit coin and hoping for the best.

I think we've all worked out that limpid is the oversized hairpiece in charge of nugget logistics at your local finger lickers.

In the absence of any meaningful facts, you've decided that it's the fault of a "bigwig" and that said "bigwig" should be financially punished?

Wow.

Decisions like that are only taken at the very top. They were also warned by the unions that there would be massive issues as BK suffered exactly the same fate years ago (although not to the same extent) and not getting a bonus is not being financially punished. You get a bonus for exceeding expectations and being very good at your job. Now, I don't know about the financial side, I used a bit of artistic licence for that. 

Plus I fancied a Zinger Meal tomorrow but my local one is shut.
