I'm, uh, pretty certain that National Action is going to be fighting us. They're a domestic terrorist organisation that is apparently benefiting from the training and resources that we're sending to the Ukraine war.

It turned out that Woking Council just bought a bunch of 9th Ed. 40K armies. Then when the news of 10th Ed. broke, so did their budget.

Oh god I hope they didn't get a bunch of Forge World stuff.

Theres an article on BBC with suella and the police patting themselves on the back for having the police attend, not solve but attend, every burglary in 2022. I was burgled in 2022 and the police did not attend? Maybe theyre just about right as a forensics person came out a couple of days later which was real useful.

Frankly seems kind of daft to assume that he had no relationship to British intelligence services prior to then, given that he ended up becoming an asset to them in a foreign war after running a training camp on British soil. Given how suddenly they popped up and how well-equipped they are, I think it's a fair guess that the border insurgency was Western intelligence agencies activating their existing assets in the region. Who just so happened to be card-carrying Nazis.

Yeah, I'd assume that counts - either authentically or as a way to fudge the numbers to meet their target, because every government department with a basic sense of self-preservation does that.

Former Woking resident,

The old council were some real dodgy conservatives, and the massive borderline skyscrapers they built in the middle of the town seemed to be a bad investment they kept playing double or nothing with, until it was an order of magnitude more expensive than originally planned.

Now they’ve mostly been replaced by Lib Dems presumably they will face no consequences.

Pre covid there wasn’t much chance of the council making back its investment before 50 years (in some fantasy world where everything’s a-ok in 50 years), post covid the demand for commuting is way down and there’s a billion pound hole in the budget.

Oops.

I always remember this one. I was 27, this was released in September 1987 and was charting and totally summed up the really crazy weekend of 15th - 19th October which started with "The Great Storm of 1987" on the Friday (or started overnight on the Thursday night) and "Black Monday" (the stockmarket meltdown) on Monday 19th.

When I was 19-20 back in the 90s, I went to a house party.
There was some absolute wanker there who kept trying to put on KISS music, which he handy had a cassette of.
He was the same age, gently caress knows how he got into them.
We listened to like one or two songs, then back to Prodigy and whatever.

The main Google picture for Woking, rather than some landmark or something, is two lads have a bit of a hug in a multi storey car park. A few in and they're playing on a skateboard.

It’s a total numbers game, when you’ve been making records constantly for nearly 50 years you’ll probably have done a couple of good songs even by accident.

On the plus side, at least there is no real world button that summons a giant Bowser to smash up the town.

Anyone remember that School of Rock TV show on Channel 4 where Gene Simmons had to turn a bunch of British youths into a rock band? All I remember from it is Gene Simmons trying and failing to brag about shagging thousands of girls to a woman who ran the bed and breakfast and a guest appearance from Tony Iommi where all the kids agreed they liked Tony more and learned more from him in an afternoon than weeks of hanging around Gene Simmons.
