Just to check, this isn’t someone pretending to be a poor landlord complaining about themselves being at home all day?

It isn’t even close to almost. Maybe most of the countries on the Mediterranean, plus Portugal and debatably Belgium and Switzerland, but that’s very much not most of Europe.

I’m not too many years of MAMIL-hood myself. It’s a good acronym.

The grey round the mouth isn’t a chinstrap. I’m guessing we’re looking at a MAMIL.

Why do you ask?

Gotta say though, Be Gay, Do Crimes hits better for me.

Have you checked out Trash Future?

I figured that would go without saying

Might give that a listen on a slow run on a wet day!

Exactly! Where are the people with relevant knowledge and the characteristic of overthinking things?

Do snails get stuck?

Oh, I don’t mean that I’m planning to harvest the little fuckers in my garden. I’m just curious if the substance has any properties that would make it completely useless or dangerous.

I was trying to wash it off my hands and noticed I had to give it a good scrub, but it was still slimy until it was all gone.

Less?

Initially I was upset when I heard about John Peel passing away because I listened to him so much - possibly more his Home Truths show on Radio 4 than the Peel Sessions for which he was better known. Listening to him talk to regular people about their lives was a regular feature of my Saturday mornings.

Later I learned about his sexual abuse of teenagers and now don’t care about him at all.

That requires further explanation.

I do notice that every day I point out ladybirds cuddling in the garden to my toddler.

I’ll confess to keeping one item of HP merch. It’s a cup that we use for scooping car litter.

Maybe much the same as when we last had a general election in the UK.

There’s a bit more context to some of these (UK).

If you say you’re getting something out of the boot then it’s going to be out of the car, but if you’re putting on your boots then you’re probably putting on some sturdy footwear.

When used as slang, a knob is definitely a dick, but it’s also used in door knob (just a lump to pull on, rather than a handle) or can be used as a quantity of butter, i.e. a knob of butter to go on your toast.

Biscuits can include crackers, but generally they aren’t baked goods with raising agents or yeast.

Chips are not french fries. They’re in between French fries and potato wedges, and the best ones are crispy on the outside but soft on the inside. Some people think they shouldn’t be crispy, but they’re wrong.

Good shout. Blocked as well.

My understanding was that atheism is the belief that there is no god(s), whereas to be agnostic is the absence of belief one way or another, i.e unable to prove or disprove existence of god(s). With this interpretation it’s more scientifically rational (for whatever that’s worth) to be agnostic than atheist.

The importance of such a distinction doesn’t merit much fuss beyond freshman philosophy though since you get some atheists who are absolutely evil cunts and plenty of genuinely good people of almost all religions.
