This is an American tradition. English tradition is redcurrant jelly.

FTFY

I can't hate fruit based on a Beatles connection, I'm not THAT bad

Having a substitute for cranberries implies they were worthy of being substituted in the first place Cranberries, worst berry I've ever come across, what is that weird dry mouth thing that happens after you eat them I'd eat ligonberries, cranberries can GTFO, Its what I'd imagine that eating red painted sheep shit would be like

Usually it takes a presentation to the general council of the ASA, I’ll pass on the white spirit tip though The recent Tesco case was one of hers

If ANYONE else had posted that it would be obviously deliberate

@Rds1983Do you think I maybe ham it up a little in the first place for shits and giggles

There have been over 200 complaints to the ASA over that Crown Paints advert It might end up on my daughter's desk

FFS!

How is that a solution to the energy price crisis?

They weren't breaking the law. The law was broken by the organisers for holding an unlicensed public event. The attendees were not breaking any law with regards to attendance. Drugs oh yeah that was probably breaking the law but that is pure speculation

Half my day has been taken up by doing call transcripts for Subject Access Requests, listening to the same shite over and over and over to make sure it's correct. One part of my job I detest

More Russian stupidity. The Military HQ in Lysychansk went boom yesterday. Here's why... And here is the result

I think a Ford Mondeo looks better than a Tesla. I really hate the shape of them. The backend looks like a saloon that was reversed into a steel wall

Grrrr Wordle 424 5/6*

Must have been asleep on Monday when it actually happened

Russia isn't making gains and is still taking heavy losses when they do attack. The latest rumour in Kherson Oblast is that all the senior officers have left to the other side of the Dnieper but little progress seems to have been made either, except for the bridges across the Dnieper are now completely out of action so if Russia does get pushed back and Kherson is liberated a lot of hardware is going to be left behind and soldiers are going to have to swim

Michael Head and the Red Elastic Band - Dear Scott Former Pale Fountains / Shack frontman's second album with his latest band If you don't know of him, it's a hell of a story of missed opportunities, total f*** ups, drug addiction and just sheer bad luck. I know Mick, I used to play football with him, move in the same circles etc in the 80s & 90s, a nicer man you'll never meet. Also the missus was in his class in junior and senior school. But anyway, his new album is great, fairly typical lovely personal songwriting and melodies but you can really hear the influence of Bill Ryder-Jones on production duties in the overall sound. I actually think @mjmooney should give this one a go

I didn't know they'd hit it today, I only saw the report this morning This has to be the first war where the internet picks targets

Another 2nd hand purchase today the rather out there german via New York electronic / opera artist Klaus Nomi's self titled debut. He only made 2 albums while he was alive as he was one of the first "celebrities" to die of AIDS in 1982 This, his first album is from 1981, though this pressing is the first British pressing from 82

Ours is a subterranean coaster, starts at ground level and the ride is underground until it reaches ground level again at the end.

There is of course another factor. Russian f***Ing stupidity You know the Wagner base talking about that got blown up the other day. It wasn't because of a journalist giving the location away, I mean the poster of the original picture may have been a Russian journo, it then appeared in the r/ukraine subreddit and then the base was geolocated from peoples knowledge and pssed on to the SBU, a day later.... boom. Today in the same sub, a user hasd posted a picture, again very recent from SM showing a railyard and in that railyard is a huge stockpile of artillery shells, expect boom time soon. Who poses for photos and allows them to be posed on social media (Telegram in this instance) of your operational headquarters in an active warzone. I mean its up there with all the dumb shit Russia does. The airfield of Chernobaivka being classic dumb shit, when it was way behind the lines is was an airfield, they kept parking planes on it - boom. Eventually they realised this was a bad idea so they just used it as an ammo dump instead. That site got hit at least 25 times. Russian military doctrine really is that dumb, you do it by the book, you do as you are told, even junior officers don't have the ability to make decisions. Also in the dumb as f*** RUssian behaviour, no comms, so they used Ukraines mobile phone network to communicate until they realised then destroyed Ukraines mobile phone network and couldn't communicate at all

I've wanted a copy of this for sometime. Found a copy today at a very reasonable price (less than any copy sold in the last 18 months on Discogs and in better condition than some of those) It's one of those records I always kicked myself for not buying at the time A C Marias - One Of Our Girls (Has Gone Missing) from 1989. A C Marias were an offshoot of Wire, Bruce Gilbert of Wire teaming up with a singer Angela Conway who was also a member of some other Wire Offshoots too I seem to recall

You won't be offered it anyway as I get the impression you are substantially under the age of 50

Just been on to Virgin to cancel (yeah right, just playing the game). Managed to up my broadband speed, lose a couple of things (Kids TV and International calling) and save £36 a month
