The problem with calling Trump a dotard after that was the number of people thinking you were trying to get around saying 'retard' when, no, I'm calling old.

The best part about the "dotard" thing was that a more direct translation from Korean was "old beast lunatic", which is both hilarious and I believe someone has it as a username now

Tesseraction posted:What was Bones again? I only think of the anime studio BONES who do a lot of good poo poo. As was covered, Bones was a silly police procedural with two pretty people in the lead doing gross stuff with decayed corpses. One of the only plot things I can actually remember is that someone hacked a computer by writing code on a bone (huh? huh?) that the cops then scanned into their system as evidence. HACKED, NOOBS!   The actually funnier thing to me is that another extremely silly police procedural starring two pretty people, Lucifer, had the titular character be absolutely obsessed with the television show Bones. It was completely nonsensical and yet very meta, somehow.

On my way home from work, when crossing the railway line I saw a train slowly come to a stop right before the bridge so the driver could answer the train phone. So maybe they were giving them a ring asking them to pop over to Manchester to fill in

Does that include sitting through the credits to see that the Cock Knocker is going to make his appearance in the next film?

I'm on the transpennine train from Edinburgh to Mancs and it's... actually kind of a decent spacious, modern train with generous storage racks and chargers everywhere, is this a new thing? Its much nicer than your standard virgin train, somehow the seats feel bigger. I can't remember the last time I went by rail, I'm out of the loop.

It's very well known not to. Also annoying for travelling with a bicycle as they require reservations which can be a bit of a mess with the whole cancelling trains nonsense.

Driving to work yesterday and an advert was on the radio talking about Naloxone being available in pharmacies. One of the lads said he thought it was a bad idea to give it out for free as it would encourage junkie to continue to use drugs, you know not the moreish heroin.

There were far less addicts when they gave the heroin out for tuppence ha'penny at the chemists, not least because the mob decided that they couldn't compete with that and so didn't bother.

I got an LNER train via York that was going to Edinburgh (although I was only going to Berwick-upon-tweed) and I was amazed at how not a total nightmare it was compared to the trains I get in the Midlands almost every day.
