A bloke in our office was once entertaining us with the hilarious re enactment of how he dropped his mobile phone down a toilet...when he dropped his replacement mobile phone down a toilet. Four guys in a cubicle crying with laughter. Move along, nothing to see here.

you'll have to give me 10 minutes

The alternatives are Russia, China, Saudi Arabia, Fascism, Blood Letting Anarchy. I'd run with the U.S. based on that list.

It's the opposite. Grand parents can be full time child carers AND it counts towards topping up their National Insurance contributions as a legit job, should they not already be on full benefits the nanny state but, perhaps she just doesn't like your kids?

learnt a lesson today Being in a small office kitchen and hilariously reciting 'roses are red, violets are blue, this is my knife, get in the van' does not get the laughs expected with two female architects that don't have english as a first language.

There are lots of these totally non-racist perfectly rational and very well informed Brexit voters that are going to wonder why, in say 5 years time, there are still lots of brown coloured muslim types on our streets even after we took back control. My experience of a large number of leave voters in work, at the football and in casual conversation, is that they didn't like foreign people being here and thought voting leave would send them back. The government certainly picked up this mood music and voluntarily 'pre negotiated' a bargaining stance of leaving the single market so as to be able to stop free movement.

the more things stay the same sheriffs and indians taking land profit uber alles

the more things change...

I think support for independence is currently bumping along at between 3% and 28% depending on who's phrased the question and who's polling you want to use to support your argument. I think support for greater powers for the assembly is around 50% / 60% based on that same caveat. I'd be up for it.

I have been to a city and I have seen petrol and diesel cars. In line with recent advice about experts, I was able to think for myself that diesels were noisy, smelly and dirty and not the future. That people were prepared to ignore their own eyes, ears and noses and be persuaded that diesel was a good thing to promote just shows how well we teach and promote critical thinking in this country.

good news, very best of luck just remember fresh starts are for both of you now might be the only chance you get to say that thing you've been wanting to say or make some sort of change you've wanted to see happen

From a mixtape that Xann shared out a couple of years ago, as soon as I heard it, it was in the film I'll eventually make once the funding comes through. Scene is a very very clean and sparkly white tiled domestic kitchen floor, with several bloody trails where bodies have been dragged out of the house. As bright and shiny as an advert for domestic cleaning products. Sparkly music. Blood. Lots of blood.

It would be interesting to see the opinion of the viewer if the kid was parroting something less trendy. Perhaps a love for Jesus or beauty pageants or buckfast. I've only watched the first 50 seconds or so. If I was an angry brexit type looking to stamp on dissenting opinion, I'd have highlighted her privileged background at being able to choose and afford what country to live in. Privileged people lacking empathy with a shake up of the established order, who'd a thunked it. But I didn't last the full minute. Story of my life.

perhaps Trump could update the talk over for the Brum Tourist Board Advert

I was down to the last two in an interview for a car manufacturer's magazine. We were being interviewed side by side and the question asked was 'what are your two strongest qualities?' First guy answered with some tosh about hard work or loyalty or creativity to deadlines or some such arse lickery. I said good looks and modesty. The interviewer said he thought that was a bit of a stupid answer. I said it was because it was a bit of a stupid question. Totally owned the room, master of the **** universe. Didn't get the gig. At the time, I was genuinely shocked I didn't get it.

always say yes, always volunteer 4 times out of 5 the project doesn't happen but you get the credit for stepping up then you're remembered and get the foreign travel and bonus I've basically built a career on saying yes to projects that haven't happened.

absolutely beautiful sound and a nice thing to hold too

well, at least we know where it is

It’s essentially a thread trying to build romantic mystery out of missing persons. There’s a nod towards alien abductions. A ‘famous’ person that went missing was Richey Edwards there in the picture, from the Manic Street Preachers. No body found, nothing, just missing and eventually presumed dead so everyone could wrap up the paper work and grieve. Lots of bogus ‘sightings’ all over the world. Works in a chippy in Pontypandy apparently. By chance, today is exactly 25 years to the day that Richie’s Manic Street Preachers released the album Generation Terrorist, which includes the most beautiful song about loneliness and despair, Motorcycle Emptiness. To complete the coincidences, today is also dydd miwsig cymru, welsh music day.

When you have significantly more than the others, you basically have to decide whether you're going to build a bigger table or a bigger wall.

you'll just have to take my word for it that I answered as honestly as I could and didn't just go through the questions 'strongly' agreeing or disagreeing I've done the form a few times, it's usually there or there about. For the record, I've voted Plaid a few times as they've been the best fit. I'm probably just a virtue signalling snowflake remoaner poof. I think that location on the chart basically says, I'm a bit of a communist, but you do what you like.

Generation Terrorist / Motorcycle Emptiness is 25 years old today!

album out tomorrow tour through March & April
