On a tangent, but do kids generally still build gang hideouts and huts, etc?


there's a re-wilded? unparkified? nature trail near us that local kids have been building up with logs/old planks/seats etc. The primo spot though was claimed by people who needed it for a makeshift camp, old sleeping bags etc, assume that stops more building going on in lots of places

He's so good as Caesar in I, Claudius. Makes me wish his son Matt Berry (in Toast at least) had done some SERIOUS ACTING in around say, the Snuff Box era, would have captured the same vibe.

(did he? point me at it)

Been hassling Lenovo today, they make lovely laptops that will spontaneously bust out of their bezels and shatter the screen 6 months out of warranty. There's a bunch of angry amazon reviews issued at exactly the same time with exactly the same issue. Asked 'I am explicitly aware that this is out of warranty but since you' ve clearly issued a defective product how about doing something about it?' ' hmm we've checked and it appears you're out of warranty? sorry'.

Same as this except more innards exposed, cracks in the screen spidering outwards etc. They've given me a phone number so they can tell me to get bent live tomorrow, after which I'll throw as much of a social media tanty as my non existent twitter base allows.

Doesn't matter, we have a ruling party with actual fascists in it. MI6 can cry all they want and be ignored.

There was a NI thing in the news recently, something to do with Stakeknife maybe? about how Cameron really wanted to bring justice to the families of those murdered except he couldn't because there were 'men in buildings' who wouldn't let him, nosirree. Which seemed like a very coy, Boris-like way of passing the buck to??? which of course was immediately scrutinised by our diligent press

I am glad that there are a lot of supportive people in the thread. Does anyone know what we can do in practicalities to help people suffering from this, is their a pressure group or organisation specifically helping out or setting up opposition to this poo poo?

Just posting to add solidarity, and while this probably isn't the right post to piggyback off of, the goon fund is out there giving support to all who need it, but it needs everyone's support to keep doing so.

Goon fund payment details posted:

Hello, Friend!
Thank you so much for your interest in donating to the UKMT Solidarity Fund, you're awesome.
First I have to make sure you're aware the UKMTSF is not a charity (yet!), so you won't be able to claim Gift Aid on your donations.
To make a donation directly to the fund account, you can either set up a standing order or make a one-time payment to the following account:
Bank: Nationwide
Sort Code: 07-16-60
Account Number: 63158654
Account Holder: Daniel Sparks
If you would like to send a CHAPS payment, please use the IBAN GB97NAIA07009333333334 and quote 63158654 as the reference.
If you have any issues, don't hesitate to reach out and I'll get back to you as soon as I can:
SA: IrvingWashington
Discord: Bill Drummond
email: ops@ukmt.fund


And although SA does not in anyway condone or reward transactions to bodies that are not yet charities, this extremely untimely image joke was graciously fed into the system by josh04 if anyone wants to say they donated and I'll send a list through to a mod.

Also old so no hot takes on music but today what's really grinding my gears as seen in the Liz Truss vid is demonstrating your a Trained Orator by gesturing all the time with that thumb forefinger chef kiss pose which is apparently the right way to do it now. Can't unsee it everywhere etc.

Why's directly pointing rude anyway "look you, learn these points of EU law or I'll have you" seems like a good teaching technique
