Wouldn't that get a bit too squawky and bitey?

What's a "Bude"?

I was looking at the rail network map on Wikipedia earlier - the line still exists but for freight only. Was there ever (or is there still) a movement to bring back passenger transport, or was it just deemed inefficient and a waste of money?

Whenever someone goes something new to them, the first thing they say is "What is this place?" Every. Single. Time. I cringe a bit whenever someone trills that line out because you know a big info-dumps about to hit you.

Mischief, I'll wager.

Quinoa. Foul stuff.

*blinks in British*

What foul concoction of bastardry is this?!

Incest and gopher-buggery?

*clutches pearls* Walk? You expect American Waddlers to walk?!

A lot of Tories lost their seats this time around. To put it into context: when Blair came in back in 1997, the Tories lost 178 seats. This time they lost 251 seats. The Shadow Cabinet is usually made up of serving members of Parliament or from the House of Lords - but given how toxic Brand Rish! is right now, I would assume that a fair number of Tories are waiting to see who'll take charge of the party once he's inevitably kicked aside. Even then, the frontrunners for leadership are all to be viewed as has-runs and not exactly the sort of people to set the electorate's conservative moulderings aflame. There just isn't that great a pool of Tory candidates to bring into the Shadow Cabinet, I'm afraid (and those who are there have a serious taint of shit about them).

I will give a 21 year old bottle of Macallan to the first of you who gets that reference without resorting to Google...

Anything and everything sold by Shein or TEMU. If you're into cosplaying as a Chinese hooker, congrats! You've successfully achieved that look. Now, suck that gut in and sashay!

Aesthetic. Often used by twits trying to make themselves sound more intelligent than they could be.

Don't Look Now, featuring the late, great Donald Sutherland and Julie Christie. One of the best "intelligent horror" films I've seen. Alien, natch, but it must be followed up with Aliens. For schlocky horror, Lifeforce and Critters.

Edit: The Wicker Man! Why has no one mentioned this? We're talking the original version, not the shitty Yank remake.

Heh, I watched that with my nephew and a couple of his mates from Uni a few weeks ago. Ridiculously not scary but as a horror-comedy it really had them all laughing. They all really hated Amy, mind you, heh.

Oh, that's Girls Generation, right? One of those interchangable-emma pop bands from South Korea, where their music's about twenty years behind us lot in Europe, right? K-Pop is crap at the best of times, but the lyrics are a laugh - couple of sentences in Korean and then a token sentence or phrase in English.

Well, you can always be a complete peasant and make your tea in the microwave but then we'd have to line up, mock you viciously and call your parentage and mother's virtue into question.

As for toasters - have you tried using a can of Lynx, a lighter and ambition on some Hovis?

Gin and slimline tonic, dear. Boozy *and* gets your massive arse under control.

Dunno about Blue Nun (snort) but I saw Black Tower - another popular shite wine for the 'burb dwelling trogs - for sale in Sainsbury's last week.

Parisians are lovely. I've never met one I didn't like. Yes, they can come across as rude and abrasive but they're generally nice enough when you make an effort to get along with them. Put simply: their friendship is earned, not freely given.

Why do you all say "y'all" like some sort of hick? Hate, hate, haaaaaaate this way of speaking.

Hmmm...the smell of chemical miasma!

*cackle*

I still wear Hugo. It's a classic for a reason.

Eh, the Borg. It's nice to have friends.
