    I agree with you about that. He doesn’t look like the type of person I would leave to look after my nephews and nieces.

    However he’s changed it to “Kekius Maximus” apparently!

    Correct. You’re deluding yourself if you think he’s fully human.

    The amount of people who still ask "is that all lower case?" or similar when you given an email address.

    Have to resist the urge to go 'it really doesn't matter as long as the letters are in the right order' rather than just 'Yeah' out of politeness.

    Would be carnage if one John Smith was getting all a different john smith's emails because someone forgot a capital letter or two.

    Elon Musk. The richest man on the planet and he’s spending his finite time on earth posting shite on Twitter. The bloke is such a gimp.

    He is a little boy playing with his toy, a very dangerous one unfortunately.

    But that dough-faced meddler's forehead is a sniper's dream.
    Btw, I'm just exercising my right to free speech, which is what fElon Musk appears to be very much in favour of, while he and his orange boyfriend unironically bad mouth Britain from behind their bullet-proof screens.

    Confused as to why a stupendously wealthy and increasingly influential business magnate would devote time and energy to parroting inaccurate, inflammatory, bigoted soundbites on social media about the politics of a foreign country when his neighbours and (current) countryfolk are literally losing their whole livelihoods in devastating wildfires.  Surely he could find something more edifying to do with his funds and or time?
    Equally baffled why anyone in that foreign country gives an overseas skunk addled white supremacist the oxygen of publicity and retwattery

    How a football forum gets into contentious and fractious debates about Loos, and Jellied Eels!

    If you had the latter, then you’ll probably need a former urgently.

    That @AFKABartram can fix a toilet issue on CL in a day, but the club can’t fix the lock on trap one in the men’s in the AC stand.

    My six year old daughter when walking past the Koffee Pot in Welling saying "We used to get milk in there". Turns out it was a milk bar in the 60's.

    That Wetherspoons game thing.  Why do people send random drinks to strangers online because they beg for them?

    Beyond odd 55 year old men sending 20 year old girls drinks for a weird thrill that the girls might notice them online for 2 seconds, I can't see the reasoning?

    Sending milk or peas or whatever to take the piss, I understand.

    The popularity of jacket potato van social media videos.  And the vans themselves -  no issue with them and I like a jacket potato but it's not worth queuing for ages in some cold Northern town centre for.

    They seem to all just cook normal jackets with normal toppings and just videoing themselves going "you want cheese mate yeah?" makes people want to travel there and queue ages for a jacket potato.

    Yes I'm old and find social media weird and scary.

    I guess I must be in a different market segment to you. I get, "Germans have found a way to increase water pressure x15" and "So an so couldn't study in a cold room so he invented these revolutionary heaters".

    Trouble with your hot water pressure Stig? And is it making you radiators ineffective?
