My favourite Grimsby fact is that several of the villages nearby have:

code:
Street
Village
Near Grimsby
Postcode
in their address, rather than:

code:
Street
Village
Grimsby

They don't even want to be associated with the place.

I've always wanted to go to grimsby. Don't really know why, but it can't be as bad as Blackpool in the off season can it?

It’s pretty grim, OP. No experience of Blackpool but Grimsby is just run down.

I’m near enough that it’s the go-to place for weekly shopping and amenities that we don’t have, so I’m in there regularly. I always feel slightly better on my way out.

Weelsby Woods is a nice stroll if you’re in that area, but honestly that’s about it.

Edit: ^ What he said.

My only enduring memories of Grimsby are that there's a massive chippy called Grimsby Fisheries around here and also that Sacha Baron Cohen attempted to mock it in a bad movie and the whole of the Midlands got together and told him he was being a dick.


Are they wrong? :v:

My only knowledge of Grimsby is that more people there voted to leave the EU than anywhere else in the country and now the local economy has been completely destroyed by it.

Look, do you not realise how many lives the Tesla autopilot saved there? If the driver had not been paying any attention at the wheel in a car with no autopilot there could have been dozens of casualties.

^ gotta love the normalisation and signal boosting of lovely right wing talking points that were organised before the evacuation. The guardian can't go under soon enough.

Why are they so loving terrified of refugees. Is it because if people realise they they're entirely fine normal people who can contribute a shitload to any society they join... The whole right wing bogeyman falls apart?

I mean, they could have housed at least 10 homeless refugees.

0.000% of Communism has been built. Evil child-murdering billionaires still rule the world with a shit-eating grin. All he has managed to do is make himself *sad*. It has, however, made him into a very, very smart boy with something like a university degree in Truth. Instead of building Communism, he now builds a precise model of this grotesque, duplicitous world.

Reading Lisa Nandy’s tweet, the official Labour position seems to be that the UK military should unilaterally redeploy to Afghanistan?

They are beyond comprehension to me at this point. I can’t even believe they’re Tory plants because not even the Tories are that dumb.

Labour politicians are more stupid than the even the tories

In the same way the Labour Party and membership are more sexist and racist than the tories when it comes to picking a leader

This thread has reminded me that I have a bunch of walking simulators I need to play:

Anyone got any other recommendations? (I have already played Firewatch and Gone Home)

Following the pattern I have to assume there should be one called "Ewan Used To Be Here" and "Eric Went Home But Left His Keys At The Party"

I don't go for walking sims personally, but I think the more recent Prey game from Arkane lets you play it in a story mode, and does have a very good exploration/story side to it.
