I dont have sex with Hoovers. Well not henry anyway.

Reminds me of a story from school though, about masterbation.

One of our friends group was told the best way to master bate was by poking a hole in a bar of soap to slidenotbup and down your penis.


We all laughed.

2 weeks later another group.memeber had a sleepover at his house and found 3 donut shaped bars of pearls soap on the side of the bath.

I’ve spoken about religious hypocrisy here-and-there but ya. Better know you’re being roasted on Zoom tonight if you have links to that kind of community and people incorporate gossip into so-called Christian values and the spirit of prayer.

Not when whiskey’s involved. I’m surprised Essex hasn’t barred you by now. And Essex is a wild mazza.

…when there is a new TV series being shown and you’re waiting to binge it all at the end …but there are articles about it everywhere on the internet and avoiding spoilers becomes a huge challenge…

…also, you can just pay for the one month subscription to binge the series plus any other series on there that look interesting…?….lots of True Detective articles for the new series are everywhere atm…it’s good that it’s looking good and popular but harder to avoid….

My strategy is to go for the streamers that have special offers then cancel at the end of the term. Outside of that, i rotate among them taking 1 month at a time and catching up. It works well and means i'm never paying for more than 1 or 2 subs at any time

Annoying radio and TV adverts - voices on the radio.

Such as that one for the AA (vehicles) and the voiceover is a woman with a chipmunk voice. How the hell she gets voice over work staggers me.

Also that Einstein ad. I fookin' hate that one. Kids will be thinking it's really Einstein advertising electric meters.

Intriguingly some of the radio adverts on TalkSport are great !!

Well written and well crafted

The fact that whatever How Clean is Your House episodes from the first three seasons (British, not American) are out there for easy-enough access by Polish voice-overs that literally no-one asked for.

As for the American version of the show? That’s like comparing a Piers Morgan-less BGT with America’s Got Talent with plenty of Piers (ugh) to boot. So not good.

There’s been quite a few for me .. can’t recall the advert but it was basically a speeded up marriage vow that was scripted and acted so well that I recorded it and shared it around.

Yeah but there are a lot of bad ones. I listen to Greatest Hits Radio and LBC and they have some really bad actors whose voices are just so annoying.

So much so, you can pay Greatest Radio NOT to play the ads. If you pay, they'll play you a song instead.

I think Talksport have their own people making the ads .. as an extra money option

Air diffusers with ill-adapted chargers, meaning the thing doesn’t work. I was looking forward to a chilled evening of custard creams, tea and frankincense + tea-tree in the air while I watched the soaps. Not happy about this at all.

Jujutsu Kaisen fans having a meltdown at IGN giving the Shibuya Arc a 6/10.

The review didn't even say anything that bad.

And I had someone on YouTube accuse me of being a "pseudo intellectual" and "having deranged behaviour" just because I can understand IGN's review of the Show.

Absolutely pathetic behaviour from that particular individual that just can't accept different opinions, and tbh the JJK fandom in general just doesn't seem to know how to debate without insulting the people with opposing viewpoints, it is really poor behaviour, and plays into very negative stereotypes of an Anime fan.

And the thing is I didn't mind Jujutsu Kaisen's First Season on a shallow level, but it doesn't have enough depth for me to give the second Season a chance, especially with what I've been hearing about the Season.

But apparently not thinking that JJK is the best fictional story of all time, and demanding more from the story is wrong apparently.

Never has an Anime fandom made me so angry with all of the insults, and just completely disingenuous arguments that they've been making about IGN and anyone that doesn't think that JJK is a 10/10, rather than just accepting that people have different opinions, or making arguments as to why they think that the Shibuya Incident does have more to itself than just fight scenes, they instead start insulting people that agree with IGN's review (which was a fair amount of people tbh) absolutely pathetic behaviour.

And look I know that it's not every JJK fan that behaves like a 14 year old, but unfortunately a sizable portion of them do.

For proof of what I'm saying here's IGN's review https://www.ign.com/articles/jujutsu...a-incident-arc

I've seen that trend too.

And people faking having Cancer, which is just grim.

It’s all so grim. And cancer’s not exactly an illness to malinger. I should know that.

Everyone’s on some sort of spectrum in the grand scheme of basically every personality type out there being connected to some pathology at the more extreme end (physical and mental, like there’s a connection between bipolar disorder and diabetes for example now) but that doesn’t mean that being a bit inattentive sometimes for any number of reasons is ADHD or every social quirk under the sun is autism. Some people even wanna label Andrew Treneman (Waterloo Road) as autistic now. And now “neurospicy” is a buzz-word that so many people who have come out of the woodworks to say they’re autistic now cling onto for dear life, like it’s some sort of new Nandos peri-peri flavour or a new type of jollof rice. It’s gone way, way too far. So annoying.
