@Dru_Marland Not all heroes wear capes. Though I should probably double-check you’re not wearing a cape before I say that…
@robsmallshire @Eaterofsun This is the reason I started cataloguing my books on the computer—I still have trouble finding the bastards, but at least I’ll know it’s there *somewhere*…
@petedoherty @straporiginals @AndrewCushin @BLOSSOMBLOSSOMC Great to hear it!
5tevieM receptionist asked if I was alright then the coffee guy did too so I actually did it. I said “im just not wearing makeup but thanks”. it felt GOOD 10/10 anyway then saw I’d wiped ketchup on my face and it looked exactly like I was bleeding from the eye.
@DomCarterAgain @5tevieM Also, if you did literally nothing except floss for twelve hours a day in between appointments the hygienist would still tell you you weren’t flossing enough.
KYPBristol What’s your kink? In the 70s, Wixon’s was trolling the council by refusing to sell his East St shop for road realignment. The wild bend in the road got the spot its nickname but gave Wixon a perfect advertising opportunity - he sold ladies undies! 👌🩲

@badwolfgirl2768 I have heard *so* many good things about this show. I’m going to have to get around to it, aren’t I?
@RichardDear6 @Tim_Burgess Hell yeah. Also, while I enjoyed this at the time, I don’t think I appreciated Liza anything like as much as I should have done. youtube.com/watch?v=0IXuRC…
RachaelAtWork Star Trek TNG episodes are called like ‘Explosion’ and the episode is about a big explosion. TOS episodes are called ‘What yonder soul doth go hence…a brother??’ and are about an omnipotent space frog who makes everyone take their clothes off
@stillawake @Bristol_Hari Evri. They could lose an entire city in a day and nobody would ever know where it went.
@chubbybannister Quite likely to be low-flying bins today…
@RobBryher I checked a live bus stop timetable today—18 minutes until the next m2, it said. Walked on and the m2 sailed past four minutes later. You’re probably better off with a blank board.
@CharlieVivante Yes, but it’s a tragedy, not a comedy.
Hrm.

iamharaldur The future was supposed to free up our time from work so we could spend it on higher pursuits.
Instead we created AI that makes art while we work.
NomeDaBarbarian They’re called Flying Saucers, or Satelite Wafers.
They exist because a Belgian company that makes communion wafers had a dip in sales, and needed to move product.
So they dyed them and filled them with candy. twitter.com/UvT_Jezus/stat… pic.twitter.com/1Wc5FUhdxc
@BobRushy This fifty-year-old has some bad news for you, I’m afraid.
@4r7hr Chances are fairly good if it’s recent-ish, increasingly random and very cemetery-dependent as you go backwards through the years.
@chubbybannister I suffered from a facetious planter for a while. Luckily it was cured by a stair-rod injection.
@KWargamer @theagilmore Wordle? Oh, I thought you were talking about recycling boxes. I have what the estate agent described euphemistically as a “cellar storage area” and is more like a damp cave under the upstairs neighbours’ garden.
@KWargamer @theagilmore I don’t know what the green-and-yellow box thing is. Also, they’ve been in the cellar for three years and I don’t have room for them.

I saw a lovely German Art Deco barometer on eBay. Unfortunately the mechanism was kaput. Long story short it now has a microprocessor controlling it and I’ve created a tapping-based interface for calibrating the stepper motor 😂 #arduino #maker pic.twitter.com/yOW58Q5Ue6
@BeardyHowse I feel like we might be at Peak Bin, in between the old days of everything going to landfill and the bright future of everything going in one bag to the recycling centre to be robotically broken down automatically into the most recyclable components.
@WhosTheSuit @Seej500 It’s also normally an old-fashioned flat-toothed gear rather than the quieter helical ones used for forward gears, which is why it has that distinctive whining noise!
