This made me laugh. (I think there might be something wrong with me).

There is very definitely something wrong with you. However, if that being can get an entire foot and a bit of leg down it's throat without gagging or it's mascara running, well...

That should be in the grumpy thread.

23 year old me who drove a 106 Rallye round everywhere that wasn't a housing estate at ABSOLUTELY FUCKING FULL SPEED is going to be quite disappointed with this post:

This morning I drove back from Robin Hoods Bay along the A64 in the snow/fog in the Talbot camper. Everyone was going 50mph or so, steady away. Two dogs fast asleep between the seats, Heater on full bore, mrs reading a book to herself and fetching me an occasional brew from in the back without us even having to stop.

Genuinely enjoyed every bit of that 130 mile trip. Mega relaxing, no radio on or owt, just plodding along to the sound of the wind and the blowing exhaust manifold.

Amazon Alexa. I don't care if the FBI are listening. It's like having a butler, who has heard of Linkin Park.

The last two ITV companies/rivals before they merged into ITV plc were Carlton and Granada.

 

Carlton and Granada.

 

 

[Pillock]

Granada TV sued Ford in 1973 to stop them calling the Granada, the Granada.

They said it would cause confusion as their company vehicles had "Granada" on the side.

 

Judge said that was bollocks and who on earth would he confused by that?

Shoot dead man? Was he dead already?

Nope, just f’ing useless BBC journalists who have no idea how to use English, did make me chuckle at first though.

They've corrected it now.

[Tamworthbay]

They've corrected it now.

Just looked and it’s still saying they have ‘shoot dead man’ so to speak.

That should be in the grumpy thread.

 

1,000,000% agreed. Getting a knighthood for being in the world's dreariest, most over rated band EVER is a joke.

I did say a few "key words" when at mrs fps parents by the alexa to see if the street filled with armed responce and seat come smashing through the window, but nothing happened, either he is on the watch list or no one has to worry about wearing their tin foil hats

More likely he is just now more closely monitored by ad targeting for terrorist orientated materials

I believe those things are full of 'easter eggs', try asking it to open the pod bay doors next time.

I woke up early this morning & it was lashing down with rain so I went back to sleep. Just woke up again to clear blue skies, why doesn't that work every day?

Well it's still 2017 right?

Nope -different page, original is still there as well-

Just click the original link.......

[Pillock]

I read that right.

"Shooting dead". It's like the next level of shooting.

 

"Police shoot man"

"Police shoot dead man"

 

Doesn't flag up as a mistake to me. It also reads OK as "Police shoot man dead" but if you were being pedantic couldn't you say there's no such thing as a "man dead" to shoot at? It's all about the inflection and how you read it, one of the many problems of written communication.

[Tamworthbay]

You don’t shoot a dead man, you shoot a man dead, in English at least. Well unless the yank police just shot some random dead guy, that’s probably happened on more than one occasion......

I'm currently in that there London for NYE. In a Wetherspoons near the hotel and the girlfriend finds a directory of all their pubs. She suggested we try to visit as many in London as we can before midnight/oblivion. She's a keeper.
