I brought it up last thread because having spent 31 years of my life in Slough I'd never heard of Slough General, though I have spent many hours in the A&E department of Wexham Park. Oddly enough, most kids I grew up with were born in Heatherwood Hospital in Ascot because their maternity ward was much better than Wexham Park's and everything I've heard since tells me that even now that's still true

Bit of a yes, and ho! post, but....

I just learnt about the West Brom FC boiler mascot who came about after the club got sponsored by a boiler company.


Corbyn should put "football clubs will be returned to the hands of their members" as a manifesto pledge. The general corporatisation of football and gentrification of some teams is quite interesting to me as an outsider who doesn't really watch football; but the low-level complaints fans have about disenfranchisement from their teams seems like an easy way to get lots of people who are ostensibly non-political on-board.

When I got prostatitis a couple of years ago they thought it was this and also said if it was the prostate the antibiotics they'd work anyway. They didn't help and I had to suck it up for a full month before my body recovered. I hope it's just an infection for you mate

These pills I'm on should see a marked improvement in a day or two, and I only have a weeks worth of them anyway, so we'll see how it goes. Trying to drive when your kidneys are throbbing in agony isn't fun

Lol give a stool sample and realise the mechanics are awkward and then you'll be embarrassed

true story: years ago, I was on a date in London and developed a stitch that got progressively worse to the point where I had to go to the hospital with my date. After being shown into one of the cubicles a nurse comes in with a gown in one hand and a piss cup in the other. I look at the nurse, look at my date, look at the nurse again and take the robe and piss cup and immediately want the earth to swallow me up

Piss samples are awkward but not compared to catching your poo poo so you can scoop it up before it's in the water

that date piss cup sample went empty, even with me trying to fill it for five minutes with a tap running. But gently caress catching poo

I like that when they brought Brooker back to PC Format for the 100th or 200th issue, they gave him a review of a terrible truck simulator to do and that was it. It wasn't even half a loving page

must be coincidence, I suspect the guns fell outta the shooters bags when he was startled by a Muslim (likely also a terrorist, because brown skin coloration) and in lawful self defence shot and killed 20 civilians. hopefully he'll get a pardon and possibly a knighthood from life-president trump. god bless america

to be clear, the image has been doing the rounds on reddit for a while, but the shooter posted it on his personal page but people, like the utter dickhead I replied to are saying "well, he didn't *make* the TRUMP IN GUNS thing so he's not all bad" defence and it's all poo poo but gently caress me, I'm still mad at twitter locking me for such a petty level of insult.

Saw a bit of Trump giving a speech where he speaks out about white supremacy after the shooting and boy, I dunno if it was the body language or the tone of his voice but that was about the least sincere condemnation of racism in human history.

Rather surprised the BBC are explicitly calling it terrorism though. Seems overdue.

He also referred to the tragedy in Toledo, which must have been news to them

Oh also I've been reliably informed that the Vikings didn't appear in Britain until the 8th century, not the 5th, as the BBC history thing says.

I'd like to consult with a schoolfriend who's a doctorate and now BBC presenter in this era of history, but then I found out exactly how much of a waste she actually had been behind my back so that would be a solid no

Bob Monkhouse was one of the best game show hosts.

Somebody is gonna tell me he was a massive racist/nonce now though.

From his wiki page: "Monkhouse was a vocal supporter of the Conservative Party for some years. He later told his friend Colin Edmonds that this may have been a mistake, but that he wanted to be associated with a winner and he knew Margaret Thatcher could not lose the 1987 general election"

I saw Dillinger Escape Plan open Reading in 2002. The singer shat in a carrier bag and then threw it into the crowd, all before midday. Later on that day I ended up backstage in a hospitality tent watching Sid from Slipknot do a jungle DJ set. That's my Dillinger Escape Plan story

I wasn't into it, mainly because it was before midday on a Sunday, I was deeply, deeply hungover and in no mood for whatever was emanating from the stage. However, that's the one memory from that year's festival I have (The Prodigy headlined that same stage later that day and were abysmal)
