"Fuck off you mewling cunt"

I think the easist thing to do would be to change the denominations of the bank notes, out with the old 5, 10, 20, 50, 100 and in with the new 6, 16, 32, 48, 64, 128, and 256 pound notes.

Obviously being UK it would be Atom, Atmos, Dragon, Spectrum, CPC464, BBC Master, and Sam Coupe.

Job done.

Problem is the Euro covers more countries and even if you take the three biggest markets in Germany Commodore was king, and France seemed to love the Amstrad CPC

So I don't think that would fly (although it's usually best to be on the lower denomination notes, as those are the ones most people use)

For fucks sake this is a completely outrageous decision and I would urge everyone involved to rethink it.

I mean "native wildlife" is such a bollocks thing to put on a banknote, especially when 8-bit micros of the 1980s is clearly the the better choice.

And I'd bet it wasn't even an option.

A reminder that all bigotry is just repeating tropes that have echoed through history since antiquity.

When Rowling does her "Just protecting children" shtick, she's happily paralleling Thomas of Monmouth's The Life and Miracles of St William of Norwich.

And she's well aware of what she's doing.

I'm not a lawyer, but I did once play one in the Kenilworth Am-Dram Society performance of A Time To Kill, which one reviewer cited as an "unbelievable performance"... or it could have been "not believable", it was a long time ago.

But anyway I think it counts for something.

Very few have the game machanics of the Master System Gain Ground, most are just frustrating due to bad design or control.

And there are hundreds of those.

Not sure if anyone has noticed but the electoral college is a fucking terrible way of selecting a leader.

Reminds me of a Bill Hicks bit.

And he died 32 years ago.

The more things change…

Remeber when things were fun?

No wait... I didn't mean fun, I meant the other one, what's the word?

Oh yeah.

Remember when things were bearable?

Β£699 for the512gb option, it's a piss take.

It's like they took everything that was great about the original MacBook, threw it out and came up with this piece of shit instead.

I do love a show that draws you in, I'll check it out.

In better news I've discovered I look pretty good in post apocalyptic fashion, the whole tattered rags and combat boots aesthetic really works for me.

One would think that if you really desire to bring about the end of days based upon what you claim to be your Christian faith, then the absolute minimum prep work you should do is read the fucking book.

I would also add that in every poll I have ever looked into areas such as Wales and Scotland are always horribly underrepresented

Sometimes you'll see a poll of around 4,500 people and it will contain 5 people from Scotland and 2 from Wales

Polls are mostly bollocks and have been for a long time.

Most of them are done via on-line polls or e-mails.

Most polling companies post the methodology, including how people voted at the last general election.

When you check that you quickly find that Reform are overrepresented (sometimes massively so).

And the split is very much Ref/Con and Gre/Lab.

The reason Reform do so well in polls, is that if you check the methodology you always find Reform voters are massively overrepresented in polls.

It really is that simple.

If one were to draw a parallel between Russia’s attack on Ukraine and the U.S. attack on Iran, the U.K. is essentially playing the part of North Korea.

We had four of them, used ot play in the paddling pool with them, they're awesome.

Yeah, I've probably confused them, it has been a few years.

You should. I suffered for you to make this one.

It probably doesn't help that Icke also says shit like Sabbatian Frankists were reponsible for the Covid-19 pandemic, and claimed that Adolf Hitler was Jewish.

I think the PC version of Daytona was a bit poo back in the day, not even as good as the Saturn version.

I'm surprised they didn't re-release it when they did Sega Racing Classic as that was technically a really good Daytona running on PC Hardware (Ringworld) just without the licence.

It's a good job Starmer wasn't in the room that time Trump shat himself or he may have caused further embarrassment by gobbling it down whilst swearing it was delicious.

Hold on let me see if I can use GenAI to create an image to illustrate the point.

Silly me, you're all picturing it now anyway.

It's more a symbolic thing, especially for a major party.

Although I'm not sure how easy it is to abuse, like if you could run a candidate for The Young Bucks Superkick Party.

As Β£150 to found the party and Β£500 as the deposit is still cheap for an advert.

No spoilers but I had two poops today, the second was smaller than the first.

Most of the Conservative votes went to Reform.

Which is basically a shittier and even more right wing version of the Conservatives.
