I am currently in Ayr and someone was walking down the High Street wearing a pro-Trump hoodie.
Why would you even wear that unless you wish to mark yourself out as a tit?
As ever, Curb explains all.

Watching the original Star Trek series on Netflix, with jazzy "remastered" special effects. I want to watch the original, even if it looks poorer.

What are they?
I googled wingnuts but it just came up with shite that a certain poster is probably an expert on.
In the fridge aisle, filled doughnuts in various flavours (eton mess, lemon meringue pie, etc).
£5 for 2.

I look far more like my dad than anyone ever realised
I thought I looked more like my mums side of the family but my sister sent me a photo of my dad when he was my age and we’re almost identical
I look very much like my grandfather. When he was my age - but he was thinner than me.

No photo but try M&S filled wingnuts.
Heaven.

I got a new (to me) car last week (an SUV, because I’m an arsehole) and it has auto hold as well (although it engages the parking brake, rather than holding the foot brake on). It really is an excellent piece of engineering.
Whatever you do, don't reveal the make of your new car to the P&B masses. I speak from recent experience!

Anyone remember the 1970s game show 'The Golden Shot'? (They had a crossbow mounted on a camera, and viewers would phone in and direct the blindfolded cameraman to aim at the target by saying "Up a bit... left a bit... up a bit more... FIRE!")
Apparently one guy called in but couldn't seem to hear what they were telling him. They asked if he could hear his TV all right and he told them he couldn't, because he was in a phone box watching the programme on a set in the window of the television shop across the road!
I remember seeing Bob Monkhouse tell this story.
Another one was that a guy was doing the aiming (left a bit..right a bit) and was miles off target. Bob stopped and asked the guy what he could see.
Nothing, was the answer, as his TV had been repossessed the week before. He was just firing blind.

Ed Harris was in Coma alongside Genevive Bujold (The original Captain Janeway).
She lasted 2 days. Rick Berman went to sack her as she was just terrible, but before he said anything, she quit.
Anyway, here is how much they got.

TBF, most of that list is to do with Brian May being an excellent promoter and milking Freddie Mercury's tragic death.
I like both groups and think they wrote a shitload of quality material between them, but Queen would probably win out as performers entirely due to Freddie. The Beatles were from a simpler time where acts could still let their songs do the talking onstage without needing that level of showmanship. Let's be honest, Queen don't achieve half as much success without Freddie's persona.
This is kind of the point I make about the Beatles. Somehow it got attached to the narrative that they transformed music, that everything that came after them was because of them.
Nothing like good PR!
Beatles were basically the Take That of the 60s.

The Ionian Mission by Patrick O'Brian.
Best series I have read in years. Individual books are kind of meaningless, just a massive story.

Mental remembering this. I was at a meeting literally across the road. Left and went home, zero drama, and watching the news at night realising how near I was, and the fact that if I had left my meeting later I might have seen some emergency services. If i remember right he was imbibing bullets just as I was getting set to go.
Tldr, I fled the scene of a murder and the five-oh never caught up with me.

This mother fucking roundabout.
If you’re coming along from the right in the picture, the road has two lanes. The right hand lane is only for the asda (4th exit). The left hand lane is for the first three exists, the third of which is well past the 12oclock hand.
Now, ignoring for the moment the c***s who’ll take the right lane to cut you off on the third exit. Should you be indicating right, whilst in the left lane and taking the third exit?
Used to do a bit of work there. I was across the road when a guy was shot dead at the Asda.

Dead bodies lying undiscovered
in The General Nonsense Forum
Posted
A dead body was found floating in the river. The police recovered it, and found a wallet with the body. They found out that the wallet belonged to Mr. Smith. But they still weren't sure if the dead body was of Mr. Smith or not.
So they did some investigation and found out about the twin brothers Mark and Harry, who were very close friends of Mr. Smith. They are summoned. At first the police shows them the wallet, then a wrist watch and asks them if they belonged to Smith. They said yes.
The police further asked them if there was any other detail by which they could 100% verify if the corpse was of Smith or not. The twins presented a weird request.
They wanted to see the ass of the corpse. The police were surprised, but agreed. After having a close look at the ass, they screamed "This is definitely not Smith! Smith had two assholes not one!"
The police inspector asked them, "How is that possible? Did you actually see his ass when he was alive?"
The twins replied in union, "We never actually saw his ass, but everytime we both and Smith went out together, someone or the other would always say: Here comes Mr. Smith with two assholes."
