mediadave posted:Has anyone actually read a Chuck Tingle book? I read Pounded by the Pound. It was what you'd expect for a 40+ page short story where the UK population literally turn into giant pound coins because the economy crashes so they need to stand in, and the police became gargoyles or something? Can't quite remember why though. I mean it's no Urotsukidoji though! e: Oh god, a terrible snipe. Page 3 was around when I was a child, but I preferred the Page 7 fella.

I just bought Pounded By The Pound and read it from start to finish in about 400 seconds AMA e: Chuck Tingle posted:"We're a fantastic country, with a rich heritage" announces the living pound, but being a part of the European Union doesn't take away from what makes us Brits. In fact, the EU just means that there are even more butts to go around!" Borrovan fucked around with this message at 11:24 on Jul 1, 2019 |

Hunt is saying he will immediately prepare for no-deal, and proposes a load of things that should have been done, including bringing in COBRA and cancelling recess. But he's also planning on having the Brexit negotiation team have the DUP and the ERG on it.

Guavanaut posted:Where's the Page 8 mate from then? I definitely remember that being a thing in the 90s and I definitely remember it being a shirtless bloke with a generic "Brad, 28, is a fireman from Leeds who likes going to the gym and watching the sun set" bubble. Maybe it was the Mirror equivalent. Maybe I'm Mandela Effecting myself. No idea, 7 was definitely that type of blurb though, and don't remember any other paper doing similar (maybe the Sunday Sport?). Maybe they merged them at some point, but can't see anything online.

Off topic: there's been a bunch of job chat here lately so I figure I'll ask:- I've been advised to go and have an informal chat with my boss's boss this afternoon regarding a vacancy for basically the exact same job that I've been doing for the past few years. They & I know that I can do it bloody well, but there's also the small issue that I may have been a bit, uh, difficult with her during an industrial dispute last year (but she is also union & a Labour member, I used to live in her constituency). What kinds of things are people expected to ask about during these kinds of informal chat? & what's the point - what should I be trying to do here? Never done it before, nor have I ever applied for a job with my own employer

He also does stuff that is non tingler related like his guide to the void which covers his weird alternate universe with void crabs, reverse trims and devilmen that exists largely in his social.

Sorry to double post but for instance in pounded in the butt by my own realisation that I'm a character in a chuck tingle novel it's written as psedeo horror where the main character becomes self aware and tries to delay the sex scene as long as possible as he's aware once everyone gets off the story ends and he'll cease to exists

Popped up in my twitter suggestions:  Barry Foster posted:Surely this is all kabuki, though? They have to go through the pretence on the very slim chance that he'll actually get in. Given the polling, and the fact it's the tory membership, it's unlikey, but stranger things have happened, and it'll still be just as loving terrible whichever is in charge.

Yeah, thought so. I guess I'm more just cross that the BBC is expending so much airtime on a process a statistically insignificant portion of the population can have any influence over whatsoever. The media does enjoy a horserace, I suppose

I think I've found out what happened. Page 7 Fella was late 80s, then stopped being run after a couple years. Page 8 Mate was the hip new 90s replacement that stopped being run after a couple years.  I wonder if they'll try to bring it back again on another page. ^^ I think a whole crate of monkey paws curled up at the "Anyone but Ted" posts in D&D.
