Stevo985 Posted July 5, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted July 5, 2022 Just now, foreveryoung said: Nice, I know it, my mother had a friend who lives in those apartments. She, actually lived in a house a few doors up, but got divorced and as part of the divorce her husband bought her it. They very much look like places for rich old people as the decor is old fashioned, to put it politely But found a reasonably priced one so we'll see what happens 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Parents in laws told me at the weekend that there was a big documentary on one of the main terrestrial TV channels about the flooding in Germany last year, the one that killed 200 people, did €10bn in damage* and was the worst natural event in 60 odd years here, the floods they call "die katastrophe" Turns out the UK Met Office sent them warnings for 2 days before it happened that it was coming and the german equivalent and government did absolutely nothing about it... Its not gone down well at all * I saw it first hand about a month ago, went for a drive through the nurgburgring and near there there was a small river that you could see the banks had been washed away bridges were gone and then in to an area where riverbank houses were shells, its completely destroyed everything was mad to see, seen plenty of flooding in the UK but never that destruction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tegis Posted July 7, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted July 7, 2022 Userfriendly.org has shut down. My favourite online comic-strip of the 90s/00s. A nerdier version of Dilbert. Thank McGrath for archive.org 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob182 Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Now feels like the perfect time to mention toothpastefordinner.com, MY favourite cartoon site. (Admittedly, I remember it being a lot funnier when I used to check it around 2002). Spoiler I mentioned it on here about 10 years ago and it got no love at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brumerican Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 If he's still alive it means he was probably stabbed in the gut with a lightsaber. He was too angry to die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonLax Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 It sounds like his heart had stopped beating and they were doing CPR to keep blood flowing until they can get him onto life support. Sad news for his family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I've seen a few people joke that they wish someone would do this to one of our former Primer Ministers with a similarly shit-looking gun. Not much of a joke. More of a comment, really.
