I've always thought that like the US where a president could never admit to not being a christian, a UK prime minister could never admit to not liking football.

The women could have, it's just blokiness. I don't mean May and Truss might not have tried to claim football fandom, but that shows their weakness compared with Thatcher.

Only Kindness posted:These people are lunatics similar to the flat-earthers. Have they given any thought to the logistics of how this would work? "Thrown from the wreckage" means you're exiting your vehicle though the windscreen at a relative speed of 100mph, probably leaving the lower half of your body behind, and coming to a stop 15 yards away having used your face as a brake. (I just made these numbers up to get the point across, in a similar way to these fantasists.) My Dad, the Fireman, liked telling me stories as I learned to drive around the back roads and lanes. Like the one about the young lad who was "thrown from the wreckage" and found up a tree (the tree we happened to be passing at the time). He was not alive.

tralalalalalala gently caress off oval office let me just sort out the funds as I'm laying in a loving coma dipshit. For such a loving expansive forehead there sure is a lot of real estate inside eggtwat. Hope it gets zoned for demolition. Thanks for breaking the system beyond repair though so your endgame can be met. I hope you seriously need an A&E visit sometime soon and the doctors just say "nah gently caress this guy" and let you rot on trolley. Waiver the Hippocratic for the greater good.

Not heard about the Turkey Teeth phenomenon? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-62100044 Basically Turkey has laxer laws about dental surgery so people are flying there to have their teeth completely destroyed and pasted over with veneers. They drill away all the enamel and then stick on fake fronts that stay white and straight. It's left a lot of people loving miserable in its wake and despite all the warnings people, particularly youngsters, keep signing up.

Isn't there a similar thing with cosmetic surgery? I remember reading about a lot of people booking holidays to take advantage of consmetic treatments and coming back with nightmarish problems.

A friend of my wife’s wants to go out for bariatric surgery because the NHS waiting list is ~3 years and it’s less than 1/3rd the cost of doing it privately here, and it sounds like a total crapshoot as to whether you’ll be alright or end up back in the UK and hospitalised for weeks with all kinds of complications. Isn’t putting her off spending that £3000 though!

Sounds like you could save a lot of trouble by just asking the Turkish doctor to prescribe you a bunch of painkillers and not dick about with drills and scalpels and stuff.

Comrade Fakename posted:Ironically, I’ve heard that Keith genuinely is a huge football fan, really into it and everything, in comparison to Corbyn who far more casually supports Arsenal. But because he’s such a weird robot man no one believes it, while Jeremy seems like a real person so everyone buys that he’s Arsenal to the bone. Kieth has powerful cricket fan energy. Deeply suspect.

Clockwork Orange chat (yes I know it was 5 days ago) Finally got round to watching it. Considering it was made in 1971 it's stood up well except for music cassettes, women's clothes and the bright colours. It wasn't quite what I expected but I 'enjoyed' it. Can't see why Kubrick made such a big deal about taking it out of circulation. Yes it's violent and rapey but no more than other films. Some of the violence compared with Harry Brown and some of the female nudes being assaulted very similar to scenes in La Reine Margot (ok so I just checked and that was almost 30 years ago unbelievable am sure it was just a couple of years ago  If you want to watch it you can get it for free on Movieland TV which is a channel available on Roku.

Guavanaut posted:Apparently Anthony Burgess hated Kubrick's adaptation and that was the reason why, all the moral panic and alleged copycat crimes and other tabloid stock was added to the tale after the fact. I remember this actually - the US version of the book omits the final chapter where Alex starts to find his wicked ways no longer bring him the same joy and entertainment and finds that as he's maturing he wants to move on to non-criminal endeavours. The US publisher thought that was some gay poo poo and removed it. Kubrick had no idea this chapter existed and thus didn't put it in the film, to Burgess's dismay.

Yeah as I heard it Burgess assumed that Kubrick had just come along and wiped his Hollywood dick all over the message of his book and was not happy, and then the British tabloid outrage machine kicked in to make poo poo up about how every youth was turned into an ultraviolent because of the bad film and that's why it was banned. Cassette tapes and classical music are apparently coming back into fashion though, and bright early 00s colours.

Answers Me posted:Turkey seems to be the place to go for hair transplants too, for some reason Also significantly cheaper than here. A guy I work with went there for some half-rear end job where they don’t actually transplant any hair, they basically just glue a thin mesh to the top of your head and then stick a wig on it. It was cheaper again than the real deal and at the very least didn’t involve getting carved up by some back alley butcher, even if it doesn’t look great and I have no idea how long it’s meant to last when it’s something literally glued to your head with medical adhesive.

I could be remembering this wrong about the book, but another 'outgrown being a child' thing was meeting the two pigs and one of them was Georgie as in the film. But the second was the leader from the gang they beat up at the start, in the old cinema/opera place. And not the other of his old gang. forkboy84 posted:Dumbest thing about me: first DVD I ever bought was The Shining, more than 20 years ago. It was one of my first too. That or Alien. There are reasons people obsess over The Shining, well worth a watch. My movie confession is never seen any of the Godfathers.
