No, you’re right. It is so emergency services prioritise cars with the sign.
Is it stealing if I buy a second hand book? I’m still getting to enjoy the work without paying the author (even if the original person paid). Multiple people can own a physical copy at different times (with the author only getting paid once).
Just like downloads. I don’t feel bad about downloading stuff that’s out of print. No one is making money from it now anyway, so what harm. If anything, digital copies help to stop these books being lost.
I’ve been in a similar situation. It seems it’s the only type of person I seem to attract. They pursue me, only when I eventually reciprocate they freak out, and self-sabotage ensues. In my case, the only thing was to walk away, because they were dragging me down with them. Some people can get past the trust issues (I have my own issues that I’ve been working through), but others can’t. So I don’t actually have any advice, sorry.
It reminds me of something our former chief clown once did:
Edit: apparently he wasn’t behind it, but I can see something like this officially happening if MAGA UK (Farridge) gets in. Except you’ll get a load of racism and xenophobia added in too.
I was hoping for a gnome wonderland but it’s just a campsite with garden gnomes :(
You could get a fun park in on the same day though.
That’s the John Finnemore horsebox sketch!
Don’t be too hard on yourself, mate.

Strengens muscles are the best kind of muscles!
My niece is 9 (Year 4) and studying Macbeth. We didn’t do that until Year 10, I think. We did Romeo and Juliet in Year 8.
I think my first memories of seeing Shakespeare’s face was on a credit card hologram? The only image I can find is this:
But maybe it’s a false memory.
If it’s B&J you’re eating, your money is still going to Unilever, who supports settlements.
We call them Chelsea tractors here.
It was awful. They ditched the Japanese team, who seemed to be the ones that made the original so good. The first series was great, it’s still my favourite show. I was so excited to get series 2, but I never even finished it. Not even interested in getting series 3. It had none of the charm of the original. They chose adult voice actors for the kids and you can tell, whereas the original made a point of having kids voice the kids. I was surprised Chalopin had anything to do with it, because it felt like they’d handed the project over completely to someone else.
My nephews and niece loved the original, it still holds up. I say this as a mega MCoG fangirl, if you were fond of the original, keep your memories of it and stick to rewatching that. The sequel is completely lacking in what made the original so special. Just my opinion.
I’m a Brit of Indian origin, and the way we make tea is like this.
Fill your mug/cup with water/milk in whatever proportion you like. Pour into a saucepan. Add your teabag/tea leaves and any sugar. Heat and stir until you get the desired strength.
I never could like the western way of making tea. It doesn’t taste right to me.
In my family, when we were kids, breakfast traditionally consisted of toast dunked in Indian style tea (still my breakfast now). We also had our own version of eggy fried bread sometimes at tea time, that we’d also dunk in tea. I’m scared I’m going to be called a deviant now 😅
Even after closing the tab, that background music is still playing!
I can’t tell if that’s a parody, since it has every single 2000s homepage trope, or actually archived. I’m too distracted by its glory to look deeper.
My first Geocities was a totally redundant Commander Keen fansite, complete with “under constructions”, tacky gifs, marquee tags and background midis. I still have the html files. I had a freeware games Tripod site as well.

Should I keep scrolling the comments to find an ICE raid/raid shadow legends joke…
