The Harry and Meghan thread, always being at the top of the General Chit Chat list. Same old people debating the same old shyte from a different angle ad-infinitum.

Would be good if the mods could padlock the thread from the outside, lock them all in.

'different angle'?

Watching sky transfer news and Palace news is that Hull are after Ewobi

Oh dear oh dear, what a feeble attempt to deflect responsibility. Thankfully she won't be driving her son around for a while.
Do they not do taxi cabs in Arundel? I wonder how the 'friends' reacted to this porky (excuse the pun).

Why does he refer to the drag queen's place of residence as "hers"?

Either which way, he appears to have moved on and now just has his head up his arse.

Companies who bring in AI & BOTS to reduce head count, and we spend all our time picking up after their mess.

The go left advert on the radio.Der engine light comes on what else am I going to do.I know I`m a drama queen lets stuff it into the central reservation so I can be pampered by the emergency services?

It's frightening that the public need an advert to advise them what to do in such a situation, but unfortunately not surprising. If only they could learn to drive correctly in the first place

I know I've done this before, but it's worth repeating due to happening again.

I have 3 LED bulb in the bathroom. They have been in there about 5 years at least now. Recently one of them has been on the blink (literally) and needed replacing.

I went to buy a replacement and all you can buy is packets of 3 bulbs which are quite expensive. All over the package there is the claim these bulbs will last in excess of 22 years with normal use. So basically 3 bulbs is going to last a lot longer than I am!

(And I appreciate one of the bulbs actually lasted only about 5 years, but I'm willing to bet it was an anomaly)

I think I speak for the whole BBS when I say we wish you a longer life than a lightbulb or three.

That's very kind (I think!).

Isn't there a rumor about "going to the light" when your time comes? I wonder if it is LED these days?

The other two bulbswill be there WHEN you need them. Look on the bright side

Watts the point of worrying?

I'll have to find an ohm for them...

When the mods have stopped squandering their millions of pounds of BBS donations... they might finally get around to upgrading the BBS software which will enable features such as 'thread ignore' etc.

You could always ask for your money back? :D

I can see the positives and negatives.

Who the **** is that c*nt?

Dunno. Some c~nt, I think.

West Country Boy? He’s a bit Marmite.

:D

^^^^^

Very down to earth response

I couldn’t resist.

You don't have the capacity.

New eating place in Beckenham opening soon called 'Zen Grub', with kebabs, and 'smashed burgers'. Is that what Buddhists eat?

Sooooo Beckenham

0.1 miles from home for me.

Have you heard about the Buddhist hot-dog order? “Make me one with everything“.

:lux:

'Am I present? Am I in the moment?'
F**k off, you self-obsessed c*nt.

My neighbour alleges there is a Turkish "businessman" who owns a lot of the properties on Beckenham high street - and he is opening these restaurants as a front for money laundering.
It annoys me if this is bull and it annoys me if its true.

Ordered my Great Grandmothers Death Certificate in an effort to find out her maiden name and it is not shown. Waste of money that was.

Just to clarify, this was 1900, but all "modern" certs seem to have maiden names included on the certs. I guess back then they didn't.

I seem to have gone as far as I can with this branch of the Hedgehog's tree.

I have ongoing subs to ancestry and Findmypast. If you let me know her name and age at death, I could have a trawl around censuses/BMD records for you. Does the death cert give the name of the person reporting the death?

There were a lot of Kurdish businesses "supporting" the PKK in my endz when I lived in That London.

Thanks for the very kind offer. I currently have a 14 day free trial on Ancestry, and drawing a blank in regards to her.

My cousin did extensive research and hit the same dead ends as I have.

Trouble is she died at 34 and must have got married between the 1891 and 1901 census's so only her married name appears.

On the off chance that you have other avenues, I'll send you a PM with the details... Thanks again.

I know Paxman said this many moons ago but I finally agree with him. M&S boxers are not as good as it was.

I wish it would stop ******* raining

Fret not - snow is on the way :D

Totally agree. There's a level of discomfort from them these days that was never encountered in the past.

It's a lot of bollocks.

Bought mine in the Littlehampton branch.

People who don't realise if the cars are parked on your side of the road you don't have right of way.

Uber drivers in electric cars who don’t seem to realise that if you use maximum brake regeneration setting you will be lurching around for the whole journey and making your passengers feel sick. Maybe that’s why it’s called Uber Green on the app.

Only if a center white line is painted on the road otherwise it's who dares wins!
Move bitch get out da way !

You bought your bollocks in Littlehampton?:eek:

Probably a matching set!

What's getting up my arse right now is some twats who decided to let off a load of fireworks making our dog freak out.


It's the middle of f*cking January ffs!

You must live near me,lot`s of fireworks going off about 8 ish.

After a bit of googaling around it seems as if it`s Orthadox new year.

And you bothered to Google, whereas the Div just chose to be an ignorant twat

Oh f*ck off you smug c*nt.

QED

That you're a smug c*nt - well obviously as your post demonstrates.

Mitoma's world cup performances plus his form since returning means Brighton are getting a bit of a following here in Japan, lots of positive TV coverage, and a few of my students (secondary school) now support them. I fear it's a matter of time before I see Tesco bags being worn in Harajuku.

Hopefully, someone else signs him soon.

Can't bear him. Switch over instantly if he happens to appear on the tellybox. I reckon he's the walking definition of smug.

I am more annoyed thinking that the refs/var peeps gl through this every week and can't see their own incompetence. That they actually collectively sinceramente believe they are doing a good and FAIR job.

That scares me.

The alternatives of big team bias, corruption, or being under instruction are far worse.

Where does that leave us, and the game in England. Let alone the nonsense that happened in Qatar.

Thainess.

A news report this morning with an energy boss saying we can expect energy prices to remain high, whilst the firm he runs has doubled its profits to £20bn

We should be taking to the streets burning their offices down but instead we'll tut, roll our eyes and carry on. The government will do nothing to help the people it's supposed to represent. It's no wonder these companies can get away with this.

Ah yes. But if you hit them with a windfall tax they will take their business elsewhere :rolleyes:

That eBay charge me commission on my postage costs.

Teenagers trying to shorten every word in the English language.
People who dress their young children like little ponuses

What is a ponus?

It must be a typo for either pony or anus

I thought “ponces” was intended

I was thinking "pompatus".

As one of Miliband brothers once said.

OK Steve.

Anyway, dunno if this is annoying or bemusing or stating the bleeding obvious but London house prices are utterly bonkers. Our old W4 ground floor flat which was quite nice but manky and on a main road (and the other half of of the house is owned by a furrin even more mental than stav) is now on the market for £650K.

I was think 'little pony'/unicorn. Like my granddaughters and their backpacks and fancy dress stuff. I thought, maybe a bit harsh.

Dressing them up as spincters might be dodgy TBF.

What is a spincter?

It's a sphincter after an operation.

It is a sphincter after taking the h out.

The h stands for 'help us all the clever little *****hops is bored'.

You seem quite the expert on the anus and stuff coming out of it. So much so, you appear to have two.

The search function on here.

It's probably me being thick but I've been using the BBS for probably 20 odd years but have never managed to use the search function successfully.

I've just spent 10 mins trying to find the 'Man united are wankers' thread. I gave up.

If someone can find it and tell me how you did it I'd be genuinely grateful.

You're right, I thought I'd test it by going to World of Football - search on thread title - wanker and it didn't come up. Some other threads with the word wanker in the title did though.

The only real way to find a thread you're looking for is to start at the top and just keep scrolling down until it appears!

It's due to the lack of Preparation H

Something that needs Peter’s H?

A large ancient monument outside Cairo.

"Are you guys ready to order?"
"Everything alright with your meal, guys?" etc etc

:veryangry. :veryangry.

"Can I get you another drink sir? Just seconds after you've taken your first swig of the 10 dollar beer that you've just waited 10 minutes for. Nothing increases the waiters tip cup more than shoving overpriced alcohol down a diners throat.if

“Guys” on its own does it for me.

This.

Sounds like bliss.

Come to Chile if you want an alternative... where the waiters think a 2nd drink is obviously an extravagance and no one in their right mind would ever think of having one let alone warrant being asked if they want one.

"Today, I intend to be the best version of me as I partake in my journey through life."

I can see what she means.

Are you just doing a Maz or do you really believe this? Whenever people brought cake into my office I wouldn't eat it. If on the other hand they had brought cigs or methadone I would have been well up for it.

Yeah but you know what birds are like.

I don't mind if we have to eat a Mr Kipling French Fancy for someone's birthday but I hate it when we have to eat the coffee and walnut cake that Zoe in accounts has baked. One day I will be bold enough to tell her it's unfit for human consumption.

Something for you to carry arrows in?

Ah, yes - this is true. They should of stuck to being secretaries or dinner ladies instead of getting ideas above their station.

Well I wouldn't go that far, but they're anyone's for a French Fancy, aren't they?

A women who's never married?:D
