It’s not starting well for him, the DA is looking to have held in contempt for repeated gag order violations, which you’d have to think Judge Merchan would likely be sympathetic to.

Saw this tweet generating heated discourse on Twitter, reminded me that there's a thread on this subject on here
There’s a boozer on the front in Largs does that; the Olde Anchor IIRC. It’s very civilised and highly recommended.

If you travel by train with any regularity you'll notice it’s a very common occurrence to see carriages locked out of use. Rather than being a fault with the train itself, 9 times out of 10 you'll find it's simply that some steamer has spewed in it and it's a health hazard. At least you got it up before boarding lol.
At least they block them off. Every once in a while in Chicago you’ll see someone who isn’t local and doesn’t realise empty El train carriages are empty for a reason and embark onto one to be confronted with a homeless guy having a meltdown/jobbies/both.

I was on a train the other week and took my litter with me so it could be placed into the appropriate bins for recycling (which there aren't on the trains themselves) only to find out Waverley has no bins. What's that all about?
Glasgow Central hasn't had any for eons. Didn't they get taken out after Al-Qaida bombed that train in Spain however many years ago?

Guess whose arsehole wife thought it'd be smart to get a 7am flight to Miami so she can have an extra day seeing her pals before she goes to the conference and set her alarm for 4.30 and didn't wake up for it, also waking up the baby, who hasn't gone back to fucking sleep since and it's now 10am?
(here's a hint, it's fucking me. Cuntress)

Well here's the thread that started it. Seems like a problem for candidates in this area (see previously Neale Hanvey).
TFW when just cutting and pasting makes for a more effective report than writing a report.

Amusing that the Currant's primary outrage is about the nickname Humza Youseless.
Just makes it seem like they don't understand that the old-school National Front racism is the problem, or don't care and just want everyone to covertly chuckle at a silly name. Probably a mix of both.
More worryingly, it's been reported in multiple places but the Scum was the only one I could see that actually gave the contents of the tweets. Hamas Youseless is a nothingburger, it's something you'd hear off a golf club bore while he was going 'eh' and tapping you with his elbow, but the Steve Laws one is more worrying. Full time wannabe Yaxley-Lennon except doesn't pretend to be a journalist. If she pleads ignorance on him, a quick click thru to his timeline would have shown a constant tirade of similar shit.

It's the Bukowski thing innit - 'the problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts, while the stupid ones are full of confidence.'
Or I think it was Bukowski. Maybe Bukkake. Who knows.

You really do talk a ludicrous amount of shite
I’m not sure about the parts, but insurance salesmen with shopfronts (usually they’re representing one of the big boys like State Farm) is predominantly how it works over here. There’s no equivalent of comparethemarket or price comparison sites; when you hack in your details to get a quote all that does is give your details to a load of insurance offices who then phone you incessantly. I changed my insurance recently; managed to do it all by phone but it was by calling a named agent’s physical shop somewhere in the south burbs rather than a centralised call center.
ETA - thank you for coming to my deeply uninteresting TED talk.

I didn't see any of it because I was at the dentist but this is a really cool photo of the solar band shadows from downtown Chicago

Reporting that caddies at Trump’s golf clubs have a nickname for him, “Pelé”. Apparently due to his foot wedge habits.
Not because of the King’s Viagra adverts?

My wife had a colleague at work in Falkirk who was tight as f**k. In his 40s, twice divorced and using every dating agency he could find to try and get another woman. This was unlikely as he was a stingy, unpleasant short-arse who very rarely got a second date. Anyway, Morrisons had recently opened in the town and we had tried shopping there, stopping to eat in the cafe. When she described it at work the next day, she mentioned that the cafe was incredibly cheap.
Guess where the stingy twat took his next "date"?
I'm not kidding - a romantic meal in Morrison's cafe
I take it he didn’t splurge the extra thirty bob to really set up the ambience?

Would you perhaps describe them as...
Anyway, Americans are going nuts for the upcoming eclipse. Not only are they thinking it's some sign from God because the intersection of the paths of this one and the last one go over a town called Rapture or somesuch, they're also worried that CERN are doing Physics shit on the 8th and NASA are shooting probes at the Sun in some kind of Mission named after a serpent god. Really need to stop looking at Twitter and Facebook tbh.
Yeah, Marge’s boyfriend among them. Maybe I should try to find him on Tuesday and tell him that all my family got raptured but I didn’t, so he mustn’t have either.

Upon seeing close ups of the crowd, it's hard not to believe being a *** is genetic.
I read that as ‘generic’ which still works.

The guy who made it also made a documentary about the benefits of silicone breast implants. So global warming - made up; massive tits - very good.
It's a political programme I can get on board with.
I don’t see there’s a conflict in the two. Miami’s arguably the plastic surgery capital of the world and also meant to be largely underwater in a century. So if there’s plenty of skilled surgeons that can put massive norks into you that you can float around on it’ll ease the evolution into folks becoming mer-people.

WTF has twitter got to do with this? People on here calling it a load of shite, without even watching it.
Dearie fucking me.
We get limited time on this earth. When 99% of the punters who know what they’re talking about go ‘aye this is thing’ and then a couple of random wee guys go ‘eh, naw it isnae’, it’s expedient to balance it out and reason that the punters who know what they’re talking about know what they’re talking about. I mean, what’s the worst scenario here? The planet isn’t fucked? Yay, then.
