I was in a pub once and it was busy. I was with 3 friends. We all had a pint of Guinness. Bouncer comes up and shouts "What have I told you before? No drinking until you're 18!". So he confiscates the 3 pints, but I had held on to mine. He goes to me "What about you? How old are you?"

"18." I says. I'm not, I'm 16.

"I believe you because you look it". And walked off. The face of my mates ranging from despair to anger at me. While I sat there grinning, supping my pint.

Now I can guarantee you there are at least 4 billion people that hasn't happened to.

Don't blame me.

Blame the fly.

Re: Wiping moon landing video

I heard that the WWII bomber he flew up there broke down when it landed. So he got out and shot it with his Magnum.

I think we've found one of Gerald's IT men!

So you want more kids with no future on the streets causing more crime?

Seems like you have shares in the penal service.

Do as they say, not as they do!

Re: So it's keyboards on the ground, then ?

Trump also ran a campaign on no more wars.

So by the Tango Twat's own performance, expect 500,000 American soldiers in Iran by Christmas.

All because he can't admit to the American people that he's a nonce. People will have to die before he admits that. Not any of the people he cares about of course, his own sons won't be anywhere near a military garb.

Re: Brilliant

The bit about the dead granny photos hit fairly hard.

"You might own the memories, but I own the photos" - dark and unfortunately true. So much of what we record our memories on are increasingly being taken away from us.

Re: "four to five weeks"

"four to five weeks" is the modern equivalent of the rhetoric "our boys will be home for christmas" used for WW1.

Actually, thinking about it, I'm sure that was uttered when debating the invasion of Iraq too in this century.

Re: Outrageous

I think it's the first thought most experienced people would do. I mean for me I'd have marched back in to the gobshite who was dictating I was held and rip him a new one until I was let go. Or the fire alarm. Either or. I also know I'm a fairly confident kind of guy. I haven't always been, but you end up getting the raw deal from enough people you do learn to stick up for yourself. I think from this story, Kent was either still a bit green or the type who didn't like confrontation. There is nothing wrong with either of that, but I can understand why he waited.

Still, it's good that he was banned! Bet he was disappointed finding that out!

Can confirm this is true.

I saw one for sale on Temu.

It's cute you think that the RAM and Storage that it runs on just lasts forever without failure or without need of replacement.

Re: Quick, call the police

My name is Noel Gallagher, and someone has ripped off one of my songs.

The Tesla Roadster was built by Lotus in the UK, except for one plug. That was present but disconnected.

When they were shipped to the US, all Telsa had to do was plug that plug in and that was enough to label the cars as "Made In America".

Don't Budgen on that.

Re: First action ...

I'd do that for free.

They're practicing for the World Cup with that. As shit as it is, in a dead ball situation like that shown, I don't think it matters as much as if they did it during the actual phase of play. But I remember when they had the F1 and they would cut to a commercial break, often missing action on track.

I know from the last World Cup though that the hoardings are changed digitally during the broadcast to suit the market they're going in to. So say in Qatar, obviously, you're not advertising Budwieser. But for the UK market? Yeah, you saw it. You'd never know it either.

Re: Many moons ago now

Where I work we have an employee who's go-to fix for everything is reinstall Windows. He's adamant it's a fix all for everything. But, of course, everyone here knows different.

Problem was we had new guys start with us and one of them came to me asking for a USB installer of Windows. I got up to find one but I stopped and asked why, and he told me he needed to do a reinstall on Windows because it couldn't see the network. I walked with him and noticed the network card wasn't being listed in Device Manager. I asked him who told him this was the fix for such a thing, and it was our friend I mentioned above. I double checked that he was aware it was a network issue and he said he did, and this was the fix.

So I provided my own training to him, we had a spare network card lying around so we tried it and you know what? It worked. Took 10 minutes.
