Reed admitted that at a police station, in front of colleagues, he had pulled down the officer’s trouser zip, inserted his hand and touched his penis before shouting ‘it’s a small one’.

Later says it was just banter!!

I wonder what the situation was. If someone touches my zip I would instantly pull backwards.

Same as here in the UK. It’s depressing hearing how bad people in the US and some other countries have it. Although there is always room for improvement on 25 days!

Does the 25 days include national holidays like Xmas, etc? Perhaps it’s more than 25 once the national holidays are factored in?

I can still remember the terrible taste of them. And nobody was sure if we were meant to eat the paper, but we did anyway.

Thank you. There’s so many people responding with unhelpful answers.

The UK version was narrated by Craig Charles and he really made it better just by adding silly comments over the top. I always used to laugh when the water cannon challenge was on and he would excitedly say “don’t let them penetrate your rings”

That’s why I stopped using it at home (apart from stuff like like NAS, routers, etc).

This was a few years ago so perhaps it’s been addressed now. I installed Ubuntu and downloaded Steam to install. It wouldn’t. I can’t remember exactly why but I had to find answers online and quickly gave up.

I turned that laptop on over a year later and Ubuntu was out of date and needed upgrading. It couldn’t install the latest version because it needed to upgrade to versions in between, some of which have been moved to archive. I installed Windows 10 instead.

I’m responsible for a couple of Linux servers at work so I’m sure I could have addressed these issues at home, but I really couldn’t be bothered when I have better things to spend my time on. I just wanted a working Laptop that gets used occasionally.

The houses I grew up in were both Victorian so bathrooms were built in only the 80’s or sometime like that, so they were on the ground floor and quite large. Both had the washing machines in the bathroom and not the kitchen due to this. The bathroom acts as part utility room.

More modern places I’ve lived lack any form of utility rooms. In my current flat the washing machine is in the kitchen, there isn’t plumbing and space anywhere else for it.

I only login to Reddit now to see what’s going on with Relay, it was a great app which I used for 10 years or so.

The relay subreddit became very strange. People happy to pay for using the app, some due to loyalty to the Dev. I don’t understand how people would be happy to pay. I’m wondering how many of these people actually do pay when they switch the feature on.

I just launched Relay and it gave me a notice that it will switch to subscription in the next few weeks. That will be the complete end of me using Reddit.

I always thought it was due to clearing the lungs out or to regulate them but then I saw a turtle yawn under water. I then thought it’s ancestors wouldn’t have been swimmers so maybe it’s instinctive still, but then it would need a mechanism to prevent water inhalation. So why retain the yawn.

Perhaps as you say it’s more about visual communication to others around you.

I went to a restaurant when they started re-opening. We were speaking to one of the waiters about it. He said he has autism and makes involuntary mouth movements. He said the mask helps customers as much as him about getting awkward when his twitch goes off.

Yeah for sure. I honestly think electric scooters and electric bikes are the way forward (not wasting energy on 1-2 tonnes of metal while going round town). But until they are better regulated and enforced it’s just mayhem.

Same here. And in recent years the amount of drivers are pushing their luck more. Like driving clearly illegal bikes, driving on grass parks and footpaths and even through underpasses. I saw three teenagers break into a bike shed to stash their stolen scooter in. The Police didn’t seem to care much even though I called with a crime in progress. Nothing like this happened where I live a few years prior.

Yeah I’ve done that a few times. These days, depending on the road and how busy it is, I’ll wait a few seconds in hopes that a gap opens and press the buttoj if one doesn’t.

Last week I saw a teenage girl walk past a crossing, push the button, then carry on walking on the same side. I guess that’s some kind of rebellious spirit.

I tried one a while back after not having one for years. Tasted like cheap bread yeast and nothing else.

Imagine how bad this would be if we weren’t an island.

I found my old Motorola SLVR in a draw, I think I last used it in 2006 or so. It needed charging but when I turned it on I was greeted by the T-Mobile logo and tune. I’d forgotten how loud the sound was when it got turned on. It had the game “bounce” on it. Had forgotten about that.

It is due to nobs, and also the bikes. The power output classes them as road vehicles and therefore should be taxed, mot’ed and insured like any other motorbike.

I don’t often see this happening with 125cc bikes or anything like that. The ease of buying a full electric bike or converting one is so easily done which is why nobs are doing it.

I’m all in support for lightweight electric vehicles. It just has to be done within the law, and to be honest the law does need changing to accommodate technology changes like this.

Somehow reminds me of the old cluedo characters… But with boobs.
