Fail. The guns used in the Cumbria shootings were legally owned by the perpetrator who held a valid licence for them.

I thought it was meh. It could and should have been so much better. It's a great premise, astronaut stranded on Mars and has to survive for months or years using his wits, scientific knowledge, etc. before a rescue mission will take him home. I found a lot of little things that annoyed me...

Latest story doing the rounds on the fringe is that she has Parkinson's disease hence why she's been seeing blue tinted sunglasses. Apparently blue sunglasses have been touted by some as relieving the symptoms of Parkinson's.

Yeah, I'm disappointed they're doing a sequel series. Too much TV is dragging out a premise for too long, especially when it has or otherwise should have been wound up. Stranger Things was a great series that wound everything up nice and neat by the end and the ending should just have been...

Anchorman 2 - 1/10 What piece of shit. I enjoyed the original movie, but this was just a half-baked remake. It was just a lazily thrown together cash grab which recycled the same plot and jokes wholesale from the original. It felt like something that was thrown together in a weekend.

"It wouldn't be so bad w/o white institutions condoning erasure of the Japanese narrative + orientalism by which in turn supports dehumanisation + fetishisizing AAPI + it is killing us". Catchy.

Do those posters actually mean anything? I've heard the dumb stories about how there are entire regions of English cities controlled by Muslims where non-Muslims and cops can't go. Like that fucking idiot on Fox who claimed Birmingham was a Muslim city where non-Muslims were forbidden...

Having just binged my way through Peep Show, I'm currently making my way through Toast of London. 8/10 Another sitcom that passed me by back in the day that I'm only now catching up on. I love quirky sitcoms like this.

I'm not sure anyone's in the same library as you.

Peep Show - 9/10 For some reason I never watched this show back when it was originally on TV but I've been binging my way through it online in the past couple of weeks. Up to season 8 now. Great stuff. Definitely an odd camera setup for a sitcom, but definitely works. The dialogue is...

I *do* feel the need to have a bottle of water with me at all times. But I'm sensible enough just to fill a half liter bottle at home before I leave the house. If I am buying bottled water because I'm genuinely thirsty and it's my only option, I just buy a litre bottle of the cheapest...

If you're crawling away from a distant enemy you minimise your vertical and horizontal angular size to a potential sniper. Rolling along away from the enemy and you're pretty much the same sized target as walking or running away. My guess is because he was badly injured that rolling was the...

I'm genuinely confused by the repeated question in this thread that asks "And she isn't entitled to have her say on the matter?" or variations thereof. Am I reading the same thread as everyone else? I've read the entire thread and no-one has suggested that the person who wrote the article in...
