I solved today's Redactle (#148) in 50 guesses with an accuracy of 72.00%. Played at https://www.redactle.com/ Two straight days of nerd shit. I shouldn't have come back.

You usually cook the toppings as well as the base.

I actually had a bit of a go at him, which is very much out of character. Worth it when everyone applauded though.

Good post, this.

If I was in charge I would've sacked him for not leathering Klopp after he put his arm round him.

Is there a reason your latest desperate cries for attention are involving putting me down?

I still can't tag him. Has something happened @Bully Wee Villa @Cardinal Richelieu?

Series 13 Episode 7: I have a theory As I noted earlier in the thread, despite watching all of these episodes repeatedly on Dave over the years, it appears I misplaced the point in history where I thought this programme became stupid and scripted to the point of unwatchable. It wasn't from this point onwards as I thought, it was series 6 or 7 when they changed the titles, brought on Hammond's dog and went caravanning. Maybe I was young and stupid at the time, maybe they were good actors, I don't know. I watched several series after this one in the hope that it would go back to what I loved so much in my adolescence but it just didn't. There were good features - the Lancia bit, the Saab bit, the Senna bit, all of the big specials - but then you had stuff like their electric car or the mobility scooter thing Jeremy made and I felt like I was living in a parallel universe with how popular it was. The point I definitely, definitely stopped watching was when Jesse from Breaking Bad was the guest. He was somehow even more obnoxious than that programme, which takes some doing. As I've also noted earlier in the thread, watching this back now it's hard to reconcile ever having liked it in the first place, or it ever being as popular as it was. I'm not one for the highly polarised trial by social superiority you're prone to getting nowadays but the things Jeremy Clarkson said and did on Top Gear up until this point (2010) are heinous. It feels extremely disingenuous too, with him constantly calling it "this pokey motoring show" when he's being paid millions or his constant snide complaints about the Labour government of the time. Couple this with his/their fervent anti-intellectualism and their typical reaction to the environment or sustainability, and you think if there's any civilisation left on earth in a hundred years that this sort of thing will be read about in history lessons the same way that... you know, that Roman guy did something while letting the Empire collapse (I am not a qualified historian). I remember watching Hammond drive the Zonda F and deciding that when I grew up I wanted to be a Top Gear presenter. Maybe if things in my life had been different I might have maintained the interest I had in cars in my adolescence into something else but from where I am now I'm mainly just wondering how I ever managed to have such an enthusiasm in the first place. There's no denying that a pure love of motoring goes into just about everything in Top Gear but watching it back now there's too much else which just falls flat for me to share in that any more. Now, that theory. I hold that this is the point where the programme changed for the worst. Here is a video of the ending of this episode: Jeremy drives a V12 Vantage and opines that he feels like he's driving "an ending." That because of things like the environment and the economy, cars like that Vantage won't be made any more. We'll ignore the picture of the 458 that was in development at the time that they showed on The News. As he drives through wherever it is and that music plays the camera cuts to pictures of things like the Veyron, a green Lamborghini, the 1966 Le Mans finish, while a pretty cool in-car shot of the outside changing around the car happens and he sounds glum and ironically a lot less erudite than he can be. He looks at the camera and says "good night" and that's that. This is when Top Gear finished. Jeremy Clarkson crashed that car and died. They didn't finish on a bombshell, they just ended. The show changed for the worst, everything Jeremy said about the state of the world came round again a few years later but with enough wealth inequality that cars have just got more expensive and more ludicrous. He was replaced by a body double, like Elvis or Paul McCartney. I'm sad that something I had such fond memories of from my teenage years has aged so poorly. I'm sad that my love of cars didn't last into my twenties and has only recently started to come back around at a time when the world basically stopped. I'm sad that something so stupid was ever so popular. I'm sad that nobody else has ever agreed with my theory about this video. Good night.

Series 13 Episode 6: Them at a car auction is genuinely hilarious

If Asim and jupe have been banned at the expense of people who joined P&B to only post in the politics forum and whine about posting in the politics forum then it's an absolute disgrace tbh.

Alternative opinion:

because look we're giving our kid a stupid name but that's not enough it needs to be spelled in a redundant way to make it look more *~* unique *~* We should be like one of those Nordic countries that has a list of pre approved names the government makes you choose from
