Banjo joke:

“So, I left my banjo in the car unlocked overnight”

‘Oh no, that’s terrible. I’m so sorry.’

“Yea, I woke up and found that someone broke in and put another banjo in it.”

A musician with perfect pitch is somebody who can chuck a banjo into a trashcan without it hitting the sides.

That's actually an accordion joke, but frankly accordion players don't need the heat in 2023. Banjo crimes still go unpunished (apart from the cancelled one from Mumford etc).

And people watch these channels?

That specific guy with the daft camera angle (Francis Bourgeois) has 3M followers on tiktok, modelling campaigns with Gucci, Paul Smith, and North Face, and went trainspotting with a Jonas Brother. He's very successful and it's all built on silly train videos.

In fairness he doesn't just do trains. He also likes scooters.

Your brain just skips over mistakes a lot of the time. I once got a run of CDs done and six of us (three band members, two management team, and the printing company designer) independently checked the liner notes and tagged it as good for print - when the box of physicals turned up there was a massive glaring typo in the first sentence of the text that we'd all ignored. :shrug:

Surprising though because it's a double-X stand, which are usually pretty robust and usually have some sort of cotter pin assembly in there instead of just a thumbscrew to prevent exactly this sort of thing.

Also that red keyboard looks like a Nord Stage, which is more like a $7,000 keyboard. never mind its an Electro which is closer to 3k, yeah.

Not to be a nerd but it's an Electro 3 which should be under a grand these days. Mine was anyway.

yeah that's primo poo poo right there

Especially when in the comments the OP admits the safety reason was nonsense, he just didn't want the charging station there.

He didn't want it there because he would have had to park 3 metres further down the road, for context.

Sounds to me like he got the order issued on a technicality because the Council didn't want to pay money for an expert to do the study to defend it, which is fair. If he pays for the study himself and submits it to the planning department they should be able to overturn it, assuming they think they've had enough laughs out of him.

Hard to tell without a better shot of where the bike is coming from. Car wasn't using a turn signal so without any further information he's an rear end in a top hat either way, but he was obviously slowing and the bike came in pretty hot for undertaking.

If I was looking for excuses the rear car passenger has his left arm out of the car which might be something or nothing - possible they're moving an old car without properly functioning lights and he's manually signalling? I'd want to be a bit more obvious than a casual wave if I was doing that. Maybe he just likes feeling the breeze while his rear end in a top hat buddy ignores signals.

His back skin is what I was more worried of, but I guess the rolling motion and relatively slow speed saved them.

He has really obviously hosed up his left arm and it's only not gore because the blood hasn't got started yet. Lucky if that's the worst of it though.

Youtube took down the music video because of “hate speech.”

Here’s the full video: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x64bzyd

If you watch the full thing there's some pretty horrible terms for black South Africans in there, yes.

The person using that slur in the video is P.W. Botha, and he was a loving monster. The point of the video is that Apartheid era SA whites were barbaric monsters.

I know who Botha is. I'm saying it'd be trivially easy to get it banned from yt for reasons that aren't "saying Saffricans smell is hate speech".

I give people a big thumbs down as they pass. Boy but it gets them riled more than just flipping the bird does.

I also live in a country without easy access to firearms, so maybe don't do any of that if you live in mad max land.

Are people honestly not understanding the use of the word "aesthetic" in this context or is this a joke or reference I'm not getting?

Goons are just old, it's fine.

The definition of aesthetic is the same as pornography anyway - you'll know it when you see it.

He's been supporting Israel online because woke lefties don't like them.

Malaysia has no diplomatic relations with Israel and won't even allow Israeli passport holders into the country without written permission from the government. They aren't fans.

I’ve heard that on some English beaches you can ride donkeys

In the 90s my uncle got chatting to a donkey ride owner and ended up lodging a donkey in his garden shed over winter. It was a small garden behind a terraced house, but in fairness it had already been home to a large Billy goat, several dogs, and three of my cousins at different times so the neighbours were used to it.

The owner actually stuck to his word and picked it up in spring, which wasn't at all a sure thing in pre-mobile days, and spared my uncle from having to dispose of a donkey somehow.

I don't know what the Australians are doing, but minimum chips has never ever been uttered in a UK chip shop.

You can specify the size of fish, but there is only one portion size for chips and it varies between "way too many" and "totally unreasonable" depending on how crap the chips are.

I saw that video when it first came out and (1) why did they have so much trash on such a small boat? and (2) why not just leave it there and dump it in a big bin when they got back to land?

I just don't get people who litter, even less when there's no drat reason to be doing it in the first place.

Pretty sure the discussion was that they were at a boat party where you all drive out to a point and meet up - between the party and the sandbar being notorious for wrecking idiot boaters, that's why they had pro quality drones following them.
