I saw that advert on TV a few days ago. It honestly looks like the sort of thing a sitcom character would create as a laughably bad advert. Or possibly the sort of thing you'd dream if you fell asleep during an 80s movie marathon while running a fever.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

She's had it 5 minutes and it's already filthy. Kids are disgusting.

Friends with the guy. They met up to chat about setting up the GoFundMe page but he said he doesn't want to date her again. Her original plan was to do a runner and leave him to clean up a poo poo outside his window so he's not seeing her as second date material. They didn't shag.

It's on the Mirror, the Sun and the BBC now :psyduck:

I love this. The editor replaced the name of the restaurant with the phrase "a well-known chicken restaurant"* and then went and left the caption referring to the "post-Nando's incident" untouched.

* At least I hope this was some editor's attempt to save the restaurant from the notoriety of being in the headlines for the Tinder Poo Date, because the alternative, that a dude would just say "we went to a well-known chicken restaurant" and not say which one, is too hilarious to contemplate.

It's also weird that the dude's name is plastered all over the thing, but she's only ever referred to as "the woman". I get they're trying to protect her from being known as "The Poo-thrower Girl" or whatever, but then why say his name?

The guy didn't share his name with anyone.

If he did, you can bet every scummy news outlet would have already dug up her old FB posts and plastered them on their front pages

Nandos is where you take someone on a date if you want to take them somewhere 'nice' but are on a limited budget.

You have enough class to know that KFC or Taco Bell isn't going to cut it, but your funds won't allow a proper restaurant with waiters.

Like Olive Garden?

Olive Garden might be a good comparison for general trashiness, sure. Not too bad but a bit immature.
