This was tweeted out on the day of Putin announcing a full scale invasion of Ukraine. Subsequently blocked anyone going "whoa, bit weird for a racing company guys"

Now there's another guy I found on youtube called Fitzee and that guy's stuff is just exactly what I'm looking for. Highly recommended for anyone doing bodywork and dealing with rust. Does almost everything with basic tools:

I sure hope he doesn't post anything chuddy in the future, so far he's been just good tips and tricks though. A big reccomend from me.

His accent! A lot of stuff he says with an Irish accent, others with Canadian, utterly fascinating! (watching the video about wheel arches)

I understand he's an acquired taste, he's like a small, hyperactive child at times but I enjoy his genuine enthusiasm as opposed to so many other people's feigned interest in whatever they're doing.

Whenever Clarkson does something good to show you that maybe he isn't an irredeemable ringpiece (the farm show) he turns around and wipes that thought out by saying poo poo like this.

Who honestly gives much of a gently caress about the royals?

James May is doing a lot of good stuff, his series "Our Man In Japan" and "Our Man in Italy" are both really good, plus his independent car miniseries "Cars of the People"


I like James but Guy Martin's series Our Guy in Japan was better. The sword guy James goes to watch make a sword? Guy actually helps that same chap make one and the old fella who's been forging them for 70 odd years says he'd be happy to train him up and have him essentially take over the work. If you can understand what he's saying his shows are really good watching.

I like how all of the discussion of top gear is "Clarkson sucks poo poo" and "James May is dreamy" and not a single mention of the third little weasely guy

Hammond was in the news today because apparently his daughter is worried they won't be able to afford KFC if he doesn't get some work soon which is as hilarious as it is tone deaf. Hammond was just the 3rd person in the show, I don't think anyone actively dislikes the guy but likewise nobody actually cares much either.

my dude, both my post and your reply can be true at the same time

It felt more like yours was a defence of allowing people you supposedly know/work with to be complete arseholes to others and shrugging it off rather than what you're saying here tbh. :shrug:

Fact is despite all Rich's lovely behaviour and beliefs, Nik throws the occasional "oh Rich 🙄" at him but is perfectly fine to keep working with him and grabbing the patreon cash. They pull in at the very very least £7k a month purely from that so it's in Nik's interest to not rock the boat too much.

Because the people who knowingly work with and enable fascists are, in fact, just as bad as fascists. Because that's fascism.

There was a woodwork TV show over here a couple of years ago, there were like 16 people all from different walks of life competing to be the best woodworker.

There was one rather large burly man in the lineup who was covered in tattoos all over his face (can you see where this is going, kids?) and thanks to the glory of HDTV we the viewers got to see his 23 16 (white power) and 88 tats as well as a few others. The company that produced the show said they'd done VIGOROUS background checks and that the 88 referred to the year his father died. The same father who was interviewed a day or so later...

The worst thing about the show was that he was quite clearly a talented person so he popped up in quite a few scenes, tats on full display. Anyway after this came out the entire show was cancelled after that pilot episode. They didn't give a reason but it's fair to assume he probably got quite far and they basically couldn't edit around him (shout out to Drag Race for doing that with Cherry Pie when those claims came out).

It was a fun few days on the internet seeing how full of poo poo people are when it comes to trying to cover their arses.

Oh and I've just remembered the single most hilarious fact of all about the wood nazi. The show was on the loving SKY HISTORY UK channel. And they still missed the significance of the tattoos. Wild.

This was posted after they put up 3 tweets saying they'd done full background checks and were confident he wasn't a nazi

See also virtually every photo of a Ukrainian soldier which somehow mysteriously contains at least one of very many well known nazi and nazi associated insignias and those in the comments saying 'well nazis appropriated lots of symbols, how can we be sure this isn't the original intent?' like the dumb motherfuckers they are. Blows my mind.

Mark Hamill recently having a cosy chat with Ukrainian operatives while a blood and soil flag with further nazi adjacent symbols sewn into it sits on the wall behind them was a big 'ol yikes too. :v:
