I thought the pull-string light switch inside the bathroom was the standard in the UK?

I’ve only seen switches outside bathrooms in the last 5 years, in recent “having the bathroom re-done” cases.

It might be an age of house or regional thing though.

Here they still exist - they just make you pay if you want a new one. I (and seemingly most people) use them all the time still, but I guess more people reuse them more times now. I’m quite happy to pay 30p for one when the old ones get used up. I think they’re a bit sturdier than they used to be too - so less likely for the handles to snap when you’ve still got a mile to walk home.

I guess it mostly cut down on unwanted ones getting littered etc. Now they’re valuable, all the more reason to hoard them in a cupboard in the kitchen.

Where you are it sounds like they stopped existing - what do you put your food shopping in? Do you still have a thousand left that you previously hoarded?

I think technically it’s both, but it’s mainly focused on the former - the shop and supermarket ones. You now pay 20 or 30p for them - previously when they were free, they would sometimes force a bag on you, even if you didn’t want one (I guess to walk around advertising their shop).

Throwing pretend milkshakes at a pretend Nigel Farridge is disrespectful.

We should be burning effigies of him on bonfires.

As far as I’m aware, in English, the punctuation goes outside the quotes, unless it’s part of the original quote.

In American, the punctuation goes inside the quotes, even if it’s not part of the sentence being quoted.

I’m unsure of the habits of other English-speaking countries.

Damn! He’s here?!? RichardRealName is my nemesis!

Don’t worry, it all balances out - his family just min-maxed his character into music. Most of his stats were comically low. For example, Mozart was really bad at ordering food from a drive-through or even ordering a takeaway by phone or through an app.

Other things Mozart was shit at:

• Using a mobile phone
• Riding a bike
• Driving a car
• Microwaving his own dinner
• Using a computer
• Assembling flat-pack furniture
• Mariokart
• Wiring a plug
• Installing Linux
• Fastening velcro shoes
• Using self-service at the supermarket
• Using a toaster
• Celebrating his 36th birthday

He couldn’t do a single one of those things. You can probably do at least two of them. So what if he beats you at music?

Looking at some of these… I’d never even considered sectioning them by genre - mine’s mostly by physical location - if I want to play that game, where’s it already installed?

So there’s :
Desktop, Laptop, Deck Internal, Deck SD1 (and SD2, 3 & 4 for removable SD cards)

Then like most people, I’ve got a “Complete” and a “Maybe [person’s name]” for ones the missus might enjoy.

The only sort of grouping is “Wheel Games”, which is basically driving games, but the type you want to play with wheel & pedals, not just a controller. My wheel and pedals aren’t set up permanently, so when they are set up, I pretty much only play all the Euro Truck/Bus Sims, Dirt Rally, F1, Revhead, BeamNG sort of games etc.

Tell me you play Dwarf Fortress without actually telling me you play Dwarf Fortress.

You could get a lighter denim jong, so it wouldn’t get lost amongst the darker denim of your jarpet.

Reminds me of the two explorers from That Mitchell & Webb Look (youtube link)

“Of course not! Not North Wales! That’s ridiculous! It’s nothing like North Wales. No, South Wales of course. The resemblance is uncanny”

Both sides were in a big grump with the other, leading to angry blog posts, spurious DMCAs, crowdfunded legal defences, and eventual amicable settlement due to intervention by bees.

Thanks, bees!

“ability to freely express yourself” symbolized by a flame.

Should I be expressing myself with casual arson?

Buttnet, surely?

To be fair the original knowledge was flawed.

Temptation is more of a Ooh-e-Ooh Ooh-e-Ooh Ooh-oo-oo-ee-ooh Ooh-oo-oo-ee-ooh, so I can see the confusion.

However, unless they’ve changed it in the last few years, I would have said Doctor Who is more

Wee-Ooooh Whoo-Ooh-Oo-Oo (Daddle-a-da daddle-a-da daddle-a-da daddle-a-daddle) Whoo-oo-oo wh-oo wh-oo-oo. (Daddle-a-da daddle-a-da daddle-a-da daddle-a-daddle)

[Edit] Apologies, I’ve just realised you were replying to a reply of a reply, I didn’t follow the little lines properly and got confused.

The Ooh Ooh song is Temptation by New Order

The Woo Ooh-ee song is Elevation by U2

The Woo-ooh, Eeh-Ooh-Ooh song is Woo Hoo by The 5.6.7.8s

The Ooh-Aah Ooh-Hoo Ooh-Hoo song is Who are You by The Who

The Woo Hoo song is Song 2 by Blur

The Woop Woop song is Sound of Da Police by KRS-One

Hope this helps.

It is good, and I sometimes drink it myself, but remember to be careful if drinking hot water outside in autumn or early winter.

If a leaf falls from a tree and lands in your cup, you’ll have discovered Tea - and last time that happened, some folk from a tiny island ended up with an empire covering half the planet.

If you love to drink coffee, but don’t like to eat coffee beans directly as a food, you actually like hot water more than you like coffee.

Hahaha! That’s brilliant. I honestly never would have found it - I think I’m so conditioned to just see that map as “Europe and the continents next to it” (or “Crusader Kings II Background”), that my brain wouldn’t allow me to abstract the image :)
