the USA is the biggest producer of the world's crappiest porn. FTFY.

So I'm told, anyway...

Re: Lol...

Hang on, are you the Chancellor of the Exchequer? That would explain a lot.

Re: "prevent future pandemics"

It would seem lots of people who get scared of hurty words actually believe it.

Re: Advised out-patient procedure

As long as these "type writers" of which you speak can bluetooth to a phone, otherwise people won't know what to do with them....

Re:. Mattress

Getting a mattress picked up by the council around here is something you have to plan months ahead for....

Re: What next?

We're already there... one word... Cyclists.

Re: Sad day

It was probably a SJW who was triggered into a red rage that there was someone out there in the real world who doesn't know about their pet project!

Re: Take the red pill

All those down voters feeling hurty when they hear the truth. Bless.

Re: Understatement there.

Being English, I'd have gone with "I say !" delivered with a Kenneth Williams drawl.

Arrrrggghh!

Don't start me -my (older) Lexus displays the current time in 12 hour format (unusual for a Japanese car, or not?)

For my whole adult life I've been using, writing and thinking in 24 hour format. My Lexus does not have an option to display that. It cannot be turned off, and sits at the top of the dash, mocking me with impunity. When it's clearly 1500 hours it stubornly displays 3:00, daring me to beat the crap out of it with a hammer.

But it does have an option to change the length of time the footwell lights remain lit, an option to adjust exactly how much the dash lights dim in bright sunshine, and a setting which automatically turns off the radio as soon as it detects a politician speaking (I may have made up one of those, sadly).

I firmly believe this complete travesty of misplaced priorities is the primary teason I have no hair left.

Seconded

Spot on. Most cars these days are much less likely to rust into a pile of shavings after 5 years (1970's Rovers and Jaguars, I'm looking at you)

My dearly beloved 1995 Jaguar XJ, by contrast, passed away after a full 25 years and 310,000 miles on the clock. Wipes tear from eye....

Re: The King's English

No, not even close at all. He was Danish, with no Greek blood, parachuted onto the Greek throne. He did not marry any Greeks, and Philip had no Greek blood at all - as he himself once told an ingratiating Greek visitor who claimed they had common ancestry.

Clear enough for you? I could cut & paste the whole story for you, but then that would deprive you of the pleasure of actually doing some proper rewarding research.

Re: 149.6kg?

"Exercise is something that happens to other people" - my new favourite phrase, thank you so much for making me piss myself so much I damn near had a hernia.

Re: A judge suggested checking with the milkman?

My neighbour (lady in her 70's) gets her milk delivered twice a week by a local "milkman" in his car - he's the local dairy farmer. At 5am I'm woken by him screeching up, radio blaring (he likes the news), and whistling loudly (the farmer, not the car).

The up side is that the milk is delicious. Full cream proper milk, and quite unlike the equivalent in the supermarket. And it comes in real GLASS bottles. Remember those? Happy days.

I must ask her how much she pays per pint.

So, my attempt at finding the secret address of Comrade Corbyn's dacha in the forest failed.
