2026-08-29T17:55:06Z

Pre-ordering GTA 6 digitally five months out is pointless. There's no stock shortage, no limited copies, and no scarcity whatsoever. You're just giving Rockstar an interest-free loan.

When considering life partners, you should compare phobias and make sure they don't overlap.
No good both of you standing on chairs screaming at that spider.

The best way to come across as a smug wanker on the internet is to reply to someone's complaint about something with just the words "Skill issue".

2026-08-26T14:55:06Z

This heatwave is brutal. We deserve a really good winter to compensate. I want the Thames to freeze solid for at least 6 weeks. Let's have an ice fair under Tower Bridge. Let's have elephants and camels giving rides on the ice.

2026-08-25T21:55:07Z

"Respect has to be earned". No, actually, Dave. A baseline level of respect towards fellow humans is a basic societal requirement and if you're unable to do that then you're the arsehole.

2026-08-24T14:55:06Z

We don't appreciate how great it is to have free art galleries in this country. You can just wander in to so many places and have the most relaxing time away from life's stresses, and it doesn't cost a penny. You don't even have to be an art fan to find the peace in that.

2026-08-23T15:55:06Z

"Just go outside!" chirps the MPs. "Don't spend so much time on your screens!" cries the parents. Where do you want kids to go? And what do you want them to do? Everything is either closed down or costs a fucking fortune. So standing around in groups on the streets is it?

2026-08-21T22:55:05Z

Growing up in the 90s, we were taught never to give personal details away online. The internet hasn't gotten any safer since then, so why the fuck is the UK government demanding people do the exact opposite? It's so dangerous to just hand over ID to random sites for AV.

2026-08-21T21:55:05Z

You really want to know why kids are depressed and isolated? It's not social media. Or phones. Adults have created a world with fuck all future. No job security. No owning your own home. No real action on climate. Adults need to take responsibility for what they have done.

2026-08-21T15:55:06Z

It's amazing that you can rebrand gambling as a "prediction market" and government legislators suddenly go "oh, that's ok then, don't need to regulate you".

2026-08-19T09:55:05Z

To "protestors" with "legitimate concerns": instead of throwing paint over my Polish neighbour's front door, go after the tax-dodging millionaires, the fuel companies ripping you off, and the media tycoons laughing at you. Go after them, you stupid cunts.

2026-08-18T15:55:05Z

When you're a boy, an infallible way to get a laugh and a shocked reaction out of your mates is to do a very loud or smelly fart. I truly believe a lot of "edgy" standup comedians have based their entire careers on that impulse, only now they do it with words.

2026-08-17T17:55:08Z

People who say "I don't know how I'd fill my days if I retired" are clearly boring, shallow and unimaginative. There is so much joy to be had from exercise, music, cooking, cinema, games, art, volunteering. If you can't find joy and fulfilment in any of that, I pity you.

Ctrl C and Ctrl V is the pinnacle of human achievement. Insanely useful, free, and something even the wankers running tech firms can't fuck up.

2026-08-12T12:55:06Z

I don't understand how gambling has become the acceptable face of addiction. Sports and celebrities lap it up like it's just another product, when the reality is it's more poisonous than any drug.

2026-08-11T13:55:08Z

We're gonna do it, aren't we? We're actually gonna do it. We're gonna let greedy rich cunts cook the planet and suck it dry of energy and water just so bots can send emails to other bots. Un-fucking-believable.

Restaurants, cafes. Fuck off with your 12.5 and 4.5 prices. Use pound signs and two decimal places.

2026-08-10T10:55:06Z

I'm generally not a fan of going back to well-loved films and mucking about with them, Star Wars a case in point, but I would approve of someone going back over "Bram Stoker's Dracula" and dubbing Keanu's accent. I love you Keanu but this is necessary.

2026-08-10T07:55:06Z

Does any city punch below it's weight more than Birmingham? I know locals will point out one or two things they like, but come on. It's the second largest city we have and is outclassed in every way by all the ten cities below it in the list.

2026-08-09T14:55:05Z

There should be an MP for the prison population with prisoners voting in an election. Until prisoners are represented the prison service will never be reformed to best support the whole criminal justice system for the good of the country.

In 2014 Nir Eyal literally wrote the manual on how to create addictive digital products. So anyone from Meta or X or Google claiming that it all happened by accident is patently full of shit. We've known about the harms for over a decade.

We aren't angry enough about how shit the phone signal is in the UK. I've been up mountains in mainland Europe and still been able to get 4 bars of signal, whereas over here I can be sat in a pub and my phone will think I'm on the fucking moon.

2026-08-03T10:55:07Z

As a single man in my 50s with no children I cannot say this in public, but the best sound in the world is young children playing outside. The squeals of delight as they are totally lost in a moment with no other cares is just amazing & something you never get from an adult.

Bob Dylan can sing. Listen to Nashville Skyline if you haven't already. The fact that he chooses not to do so on all the rest of his albums makes his voice all the more ridiculous.

Aquamation is better than cremation. The only body disposal mechanism superior to aquamation is a body farm. Sadly, we don't have any in this country. We really should have at least one body farm per county. And London should have a dozen.

Passengers (2016) should have been a horror film about Jennifer Lawrence being trapped on a ship with her sociopath stalker. Chris Pratt's decision to doom her character to a lonely death with him in the void of space just to prevent him from feeling lonely is A grade psychopathy

Duvets which aren't perfect squares should have some sort of marking along the top edge, as I'm sick of it being a 50/50 guess when I'm changing the sheets as to whether I've put it into the duvet cover correctly or sideways and then have to redo the whole bloody thing again.
