Seriously, why can't some people just be fucking normal about a football match between two decent teams.
Nobody: Me: THAT'S IT, I'm playing Euro Truck Simulator 2, ahead of them releasing an add-on for the Isle of Ireland, so I can eventually get myself beached on a roundabout in Portlaoise, in a truck
Oh yeah, they show you this stuff from IATA, and tell you not to be caught standing in these areas on the apron when engines are on, in front you there's the intake, behind you can get blasted by the force of the thrust which can send cars flying.
They are and always have been shithouses. Quite how they received ZERO yellow cards in that game is unbelievably bad officiating. I'm glad they are gone.
I got into a circular argument with one which couldn't solve my problem, so they tried referring me to the call centre, and naturally asked for the opening hours. They are largely useless, and I've implemented a few of them too (unfortunately)
Oh yeah, some of the distinct pieces now are crazy in detail. This is the first set I had, and probably the biggest one. This is what got me hooked.
My son has been saving for a €300 Lego set for quite some time. Through odd jobs for us, gifts he's accumulated. Fair play to him, he's going to be stoked when he gets back from Cúl Camp. He resisted the urge to buy smaller stuff along the way. This is far more than I've ever paid for a Lego set.
I had a packet of these, and they were fairly meh, initial sweaty feet smell when you open the bag. Non-descript taste off them, followed by a sweetish after taste. Wouldn't buy them again. Litmus test was my son who'd eat anything, tried one, waited for me to leave the room and he binned the rest 😂
It would be perfect for this woman, who authored this article I read yesterday
I'm fast approaching my middle age period, so naturally I need to select my outlandish car to want, and it's the newly announced Ford ESCORT MK1 RS (by Boreham Motorworks). Downside, they're about £350k each. Do my kids need to go to college?
😂 took a look at their webs(h)ite for the first time in ages. Actual lol.
I (hate)listen to some variation of the following. To zone out/humour, I listen to Off Menu or Evil Genius. Witness History for quick 10 min chunks (which I can listen to in 6mins 😂). Currently listening to Pirate Predator about Eamonn Cooke and Radio Dublin from RTÉ which is good (obvs a bad topic)
We don't usually see each others headers. Here's mine. Quote post with yours
I do it to stave off the monotonity of sitting all day looking at code or spreadsheets, that and I get through podcasts a bit faster and...
Not when fuckheads who own said property can evict you. Then I'd say no.
I'm currently laughing my hole off at this book by @carlkinsella.bsky.social
If her parents are on LinkedIn and read this, I'm going to go with probably not.
Sometimes I check DD to laugh at some of the ads "Toyota LJ70 for parts or restoration no book reg there parked up in a shed for years didn’t try starting as is no time wasters open to serious offers rather not she it going for export would be worth serious money restored not for the faint hearted"
The new token limits have struck the spammers the most. Not even trying any more. Sad.
Went to see Mandalorian & Grogu yesterday with one of the kids. Tt was fine. That's it, just fine. Could have been two episodes of the show. It answered the burning question I had in what would happen if you took a slobbish Hutt character and they got jacked, & throw in Jeremy Allen White's voice.
